(11th Sarga commenced.)

 

Sumanthra continues his narration of Sanathkumaara maharshi’s story to king

Dasaratha thus :

 

" A virtuous king by name Dasaratha would be born into the Ikshwaaku dynasty who

would be truthful. He would befriend the king of Angade:sa. Angaraja’s son

Romapaada gives his daughter Santha to Rishyasringa in marriage and keeps them

in his palace. Then Dasaratha would approach Romapaada and request him, 'Oh!

king! I'm childless.You have to send Santha's husband Rishyasringa to my kingdom

along with me to conduct the yajna so that I could get a son." Romapaada agrees

and sends his daughter and Rishyasringa with him. Rishyasringa would go to

Ayodhya with the king and as per his prayer accepts to conduct the yajna under

his aegis. Thus Dasaratha would successfully accomplish the yajna under his

supervision and would get children. In the end he would even attain the heavenly

abode. As a result of that yajna he would beget four sons renowned in all the

celestial worlds, highly valourous and enhance the fame and name of that vamsa."

He also said that all these things that would happen in

the far future were foretold by Sanathkumara. Sumanthra added that he had heard

him saying thus in the Krithayuga and his words are coming to happen and so the

king should personally go to king Romapaada to request him and bring Santha and

her husband to the kingdom. On hearing the story, Dasaratha took the permission

of Vasishta and went to Angade:sa accompanied by his queens, ministers and

staff.
