Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 19. avan dheyvam enREnO maNdOdhariyaip pOlE. Mandodhari was the wife of Ravana and his queen. She was thedaughter of Maya, the architect of the devas. She was also agreat pativrata. When Ravana captured Sita and brought Herto Lanka, she advised Ravana that it was a great mistake tokidnap Her and that it would lead to great destruction. Shealso advised him to seek Rama's friendship.Ravan did not listen to her and eventually went into war withRama and Lakshmana. At the end, he was defeated and killed byRama. His many wives then came to the battlefield and cried over his dead body. At that time, Mandodhari said thefollowing: "Rama is not just an ordinary human being. It isSriman Narayana who carries the divine weapons of Shanka andChakra that killed you. You did not listen to the goodadvise I gave you. The improper desire that you had for thegreat pativrata Sita is what caused this end. There is no doubt that Sri Vishnu came down as Rama and killed you".Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Am I capable of understandingavatara rahasya and talking about it like Mandodhari did?"
