Srimannarayana again spoke to the devathas thus: “I will be born in the human

world but tell me whether I should be with my own form as in the Va:mana

Avathara or have a different form? Advise me how I should be to get Ravana

killed.” Then all of them replied, “You be in a human body and be a human being

and kill Ravana. Earlier Ravana did severe penance and requested Brahma who was

very much pleased with him that he should not get death at any living being’s

hand. Thinking it was lowering his dignity of valour, he did not mention about

the human beings in his boon. Brahma granted him all that he asked for. Ravana

became very arrogant with the power of those boons and has been torturing the

three worlds. He would get his end by a human being only.”

 

Srimahavishnu listened to their words and decided to take birth as a human,

informed he was leaving and vanished.

 

At that time, from the altar of the holy fire of Dasaratha’s ‘Putrakaameshti’,

there emerged a divine being with unimaginable resplendence. He was valiant and

awfully strong. He wore red and black garments; his face was red, his voice

resembled ‘dundubhi’, his hair was like that of a lion, he was decorated in

divine ornaments, his height was comparable to a mountain peak, and in valor he

was like a proud tiger and was brilliant like the glowing flames of fire. He was

as resplendent as the sun. This yajna purusha emerged from that ritual fire

holding a golden vessel in his hands.

 

(To be continued..)

Jai srimannarayana!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai, Ramanuja dasi.
