AATHREYA - MANDODARI , A Mute Spectator

 

Mandodara is a noble and chaste lady . She is the

 

first and foremost wife of Paulasthya RaavaNa

 

Brahma ( Patta Mahishi ) . Whatever may be the

 

deeds of Her husband , Mandodari never interfered

 

and always remained a loyal wife as a silent spectator.

but when RaavaNa abducted Seetha Maatha ,

 

Mandodari could no longer remain unconcerned and

 

along with VibheeshaNa and KumbhakarNa , She

 

also tried Her best to counsel RaavaNa and pleaded

 

with him to return Seetha Maatha and seek refuge in

 

Sri Raama , but for no avial. She begged and

 

beseeched RaavaNa to realize his folly and had to

 

suffer the loss of Her sons , Akshaya Kumar at the

 

hands of Hanuman and Meghanaath Indradyumna at

 

the hands of LakshmaNa and ultimately see even

 

RaavaNa being killed by Raama. But Mandodari was

 

given a boon ; as long as one's funeral pyre is burning

 

a Lady cannot be considered a widow and it was

 

decreed that RaavaNa's funeral pyre shall never be

 

extinguished and always keeps burning and hence

 

Devi Mandodari can never become a widow.

 

0M THATH SATH.
