Sampathi and Jatayu were two eagle brothers. Sampathi was the elder brother. One day they were trying to find out who was flying higher. Jatayu being young started flying higher and higher. He was nearing the sun. Sampathi told him not to o near the sun, because the heat will burn his feathers. Jatayu did not care. Then Sampathi flew higher than Jatayu and spread his wings wide to protect him. Because of this Sampathi’s wings got burned and he fell down on the earth. He started living near the sea. Jatayu started living near Panchavati on a tree. He became a close friend of Lord Rama and Sita. One day Jadayu saw that Ravana was carrying Sita in his lane. Jadayu fought with Ravana and fell down dying. When Rama came back Jatayu told Rama how Ravana has taken Sita and then died. Rama wept a lot to the loss of his friend Later when Hanuman and other monkeys were searching for Sita, they were not able to find her and started discussing what all happened. Sampathi heard all this and cried a lot to hear that his younger brother has died. He came out of his cave. Because eagles can see a long distance he was able to see Sita sitting in Lanka. He told the monkeys about it and died. 35. What was the capacity of Jaambhavantha to fly as told to Vaanara Sainya?________ 76 Yojana100 Yojana96 yojana90 Yojana Jambavantha (also known as Jambavan or Jamvanta) is a bear in Indian epics and believe to lived from Krita Yuga to Dvapara Yuga. He is also considered King of bears and first son of Brahma, before humans were created. Jambavan was present when the churning of the ocean took place and is supposed to have circled Vamana seven times when he was acquiring the three worlds from Mahabali. While circling he touched the Meru Parvatha, and got some pain/damage to his legs, so he had lost some of his capacity of flying. He was the King of the Himalayas who had incarnated as a bear in order to serve Lord Rama. He had received a boon from Lord Rama that he would have a long life, handsome and would have the strength of ten million lions. Jambavantha had killed a lion, who had acquired a gem called Syamantaka from Prasena after killing him. Many experts believe this gem was later renamed as the Koh-i-Noor diamond of the present day[1]. Krishna was suspected of killing Prasena for the jewel, so he tracked Prasena's steps until he learned that he had been killed by a lion who had been killed by a bear. Krishna tracked Jambavantha to his cave and a fight ensued. After twenty-one days, realizing who Krishna was, Jambavantha submitted. He gave Krishna the gem and also presented him his daughter Jambavati, who became one of Krishna's wives. In the epic Ramayana, Jambavantha helped Rama find his wife Sita and fight her abductor, Ravana. Later, having known of the capacity of Hanumantha, it is he who forced Hanuman with his immense capabilities and encourages him to fly across the ocean to search for Sita in Lanka. 36. Who came forward to ask Hanumantha to take rest for a while, on his way to Lanka?__________ GomanthaRushyamookaMainaakaGirimooka On seeing Hanumaan higher up in the sky on his journey by air, the Ocean king wanted to honor him. So, he asked Mainaaka Parvatam with golden peak that was submerged under the ocean to rise and request Hanumaan to take some rest. Accordingly, he arose from the ocean and prayed to Hanumaan to rest for a while before proceeding further. Hanumaan thought that this might be a ruse to delay, if not stop, his mission. Mainaaka convinced him saying that once upon a time all the Mountains had wings and were flying hither and thither causing hurt to others and Indra cut their wings with his vajraayudam. Thanks to Vaayu (Wind God), he escaped the wrath of Indra and took refuge under the ocean and that it was by way of showing gratitude, he made that request. Hanumaan however told him that since he was on an urgent and important mission, he could not oblige and took leave of Mainaaka and proceeded further. 37. What is the name of Seetha's father?_______________ SeeradhwajaKushadwajaTondamaanaSamudraraja Seetha's father is always called by the name "Janakaraja". But please note "Janaka" is the family name(Surname). His name is Seeradhwaja. His brother is Kushadwaja. Once there was a king called Nimi. He visited Rishi Vasisht to ask him to perform yagna. Vasistaru refuses the particular date as he has to perform yagna to Indra. Hence Nimi goes to Gautam Rishi, who accepts and does perform. After the yagna at Indra’s is over and done with, Vasistaru visits King’s palace to start the yagna. Upon hearing that another Rishi had already performed, Vasista is humiliated, because he is the actual guru of the King. Therefore, Vasista curses the king that his soul will depart his body the very same day. Therefore King Nimi dies. Since there was no heir to the kingdom, Gautam Rishi performs rituals and pours milk on dead body of Nimi and curdles it with appropriate set of tools (‘manthan’). The milk turns into a golden yellow froth from which comes a new body and a new person, who is named as Mithila (one from manthan) or janaka (who takes care of kingdom). He was handed the reins of the Kingdom. All subsequent Kings were named as mithi** or jana** and hence janaka’s daughter is named as Janaki. 38. How did Ravana got 10 heads and became dashanana?____________ 1. By cutting his head 10 times and each time gaining it back2. By the varaa of Brahmadevaru3. By the varaa of Shiva4. By the grace of his parents The 3 bros (Ravana, Kumbakarna and Vibheeshana) do yagna to Brahma. But Ravana is not comfortable with yagna and feels out of place. So, to impress Brahma and speeden the process, he cuts his own head and puts it into fire. Brahma, much too impressed, puts it back. Ravana repeats. Brahma repeats. And so they play on for about 10 times in toto. Finally Brahma, thinks ‘Enough is enough!’ and appears before them. Hence, Ravana is said to possess 10 heads! 39.
