Om Asmath Gurubhyo Namaha

 

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha **

 

Upon hearing the broken promises from Dasaratha, the ire (anger) of sage

Visvamithra is aimed at king Dasaratha. Visvamithra wrathfully replied to the

king "You promised to fulfill my desire when I arrived, now you are changing

your mind. This is not the behavior expected of Kings, who are descendents of

Raghu Vamsa. Since you are not agreeable to your promise, I have nothing more to

say to you, I will leave empty-handed, (the same way I came in). May you live

happily here after with all your kith and kin?" When Sage Visvamithra unleashed

His fury, the whole earth trembled and the devathas were worried.

 

Usually, Viswamithra has to curse Dasaratha for his mistake. But now he became

Bramarshi, that's why he is trying to control his anger. So, instead of saying

you will die along with your relatives, he said live happily with your sons and

relatives in a anger mode. Viswamithra did thousands of years penance to became

Brahmarshi. Now he became Brahmarshi and all Vedas and Pranava are revealed to

him by the boon of Chaturmukha Brahma. Still he is getting angry. In olden days

whenever he grew angry he use to curse the people always. But, somehow he

managed and controlled his anger and didn't gave any curse to Dasaratha. That is

the improvement by sadhana. One will have indriya nigraha and peace only after

getting the darsana of the supreme one. Though Viswamithra became Brahmarshi,

still he has to do sadhana to attain sidhdhi(Bhagavat prapti). We will read

about a peaceful Viswamithra after completion of his yaga under the protection

of Srirama in coming sargas.

 

On witnessing the whole episode Brahmarshi Vasishta, to pacify sage Visvamithra,

Raja Guru Vasishta interfered and trying to convince king Dasaratha to send Rama

with Visvamithra. Being the Raja Guru, he advised King Dasaratha "Oh King!, you

born in Ikshwaku dynasty. You are nothing but the personification of

Dharma(ethics). You are a staunch one with righteous principles and follower of

dharma sastra in the true sense. So, it is not good to for you to take back your

promise. Please go back on your words, otherwise all your punyas(earned by

performing Aswmetha yaga etc) will be vanished.

 

"Whether Rama is trained in weaponry or not, demons cannot overwhelm Rama as

long as Kusi's son Visvamithra protects him, as the firewall that protects

divine nectar, in heaven. And Vasishta goes onto enumerate the capabilities of

Vishvamitra which includes weaponry, Sastras, and great wisdom. " He is an

embodiment of virtues, matchless among the warriors, peerless in intellect, and

flawless in His Tapas. He is an expert of various missiles, and He is

unchallenged in all worlds. These weapons were given to Him by Lord Siva, during

His tapas, and these weapons known to Visvamithra are the highly honorable

children of Bhrusaasva Prajapati, who was earliest ruler of mankind."

 

So, Oh, Dasaratha!, everything is known to this great-sage Visvamithra, and He

himself can control the demons, but He has plans for Your son Rama, and only

great things will happen to Rama in Vishvamithra's company. Thus he recommends

that Viswamithra will be an appropriate teacher for further training and Rama

will derive a lot of benefits from Visvamithra. So, do not have any doubts in

mind, send Rama with Him and keep Your promise." On hearing these well spoken

words of His chief advisor, finally King Dasaratha agreed to send Rama with

Vishvamithra to the forest, to protect his Yajna and automatically Lakshmana

accompanied Rama.

 

Contd.

Jaisrimannarayana!
