Sri:mathe: Ra:ma:nuja:yanamaha!!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam!!

 

'vira:dham ra:kshasam hathva: Sarabhangam dadarsa ha'

 

Every thing Sri Ramaachandra practised helps the mankind with the

‘dharma

sikshana’. Here it is said,“he killed Vira:dha and had Sarabhanga’s

darshan”. By doing so it is made evident by Sri Rama that when one goes

to

visit elders one should not go empty handed, rather it is the duty of

the

visitor to go with a thing or a word or a deed that pleases and

satisfies

the host. Viradha tortured the rishies and disrupted their penance.

Killing

him would fecilitate Sarabhanga’s dharma:charana and would give him

bliss.

Rama took the gift of Viradha’s death to present to Sarabhanga when he

visited him. Thus instructing dharma is Sri Rama’s greatness. Valmiki

was so

delighted that Rama himself practised dharma to teach dharma to mankind

and

so he used the exclamation ‘ha’.

 

Later with Sarabhanga’s permission he went to the hermitage of

Suthi:kshNa

and from there he visited Agasthya and Agasthya-bhra:tha . In

Sanathkuma:ra

Samhitha Agasthya bhra:tha’s (Agasthya’s brother) name has been

mentioned as

Sudarsana. Generally one who has no name for himself and is referred by

some

other’s name is called ‘Agasthya bhra:tha’. In Ramayana his name has not

 

been mentioned.

 

On reaching the hermitage of Agasthya Sri Rama received a bow, a sword

and

an akshaya quiver. Indra intimated Agasthya that Sri Mahavishnu who

took

incarnation as Sri Rama to kill Ravana would be coming to his ashram and

 

since He would be behaving as a human being, he(Indra) intended to

supply

the divine weapons required for him to kill Ravana and so kept them

there in

his ashram. Agasthya asked Rama to accept them. And accordingly Rama

took

them. While Rama was in the forest, he spent time with the Rishis living

 

there.

 

To be continued......

Jai Srimannarayana!!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai,

Ramanujadasi.
