Bala Kanda

Sarga-64

 

Om Asmadgurubhyo Namaha

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

 

Visvamithra's severe Tapas made Indra uncomfortable and he called Rambha and

said "Rambha! This is a request from all the Devathas. You should go and disturb

Kausika (Vishvamithra) from his Tapas by drawing him away from his goal towards

you, with your beauty." Rambha with both fear and concern said, "Devaraja!

Vishvamithra is a very dominant perceptive person with his powers due to his

Tapas and I am frightened to be cursed". Indra replied, "Rambha! Don't worry.

You follow my order. Vasantha (Manmadha) will be with you, and I will also

follow you. With your beauty, you must distract Sage Vishvamithra". Obeying

Indra's orders, Rambha tried to disturb Vishvamithra from his concentrated

Tapas. With her engaging voice, Visvamithra's mind started to wander and he saw

Rambha but this time he realized that, this is all Indra's plan and with anger

he cursed her, " Rambha! While I am trying to triumph over Kama (lust), and

krodha (anger), you are trying to stimulate me. For your deceitful act, you

will be in a stone form (sila rupa) for 10,000 years and then you will get

released from your curse." It was a curse to be in stone form, but in reality

it is like living in a snake form and accepted by a thapasvi/ Brahman, to be a

wife and then she will be liberated from the curse. In Sanskrit snake got a name

"Brahmani", wife of Brahman. Unable to control his anger Vishvamithra cursed

Rambha to become shaili (to be in stone form) and his Tapas was ruined once

more. Vishvamithra was sad, that he couldn't control his indriayas (senses) and

again he was determined to do even more severe Tapas for many years until he

becomes a Brahmarishi. He decided to do Tapas without food, water and air.

Because of Rambha, the northern side Tapas got ruined, and he left towards

eastern direction and continued to do Tapas for thousands of years.
