RAMA SLAYS THE MONSTERS

VRAMAYANA

     The prince at first thought of cutting off the limbs of the monster and sparing her life. But Taataka attacked fiercely and, rising in the sky, she rained stones on Raama and Lakshmana.  The two princes defended themselves against the attack . The fight continued and Viswaamitra cautioned Raama against delay in dealing the death-blow to the monster.

     "She deserves no sympathy." " The sun is about to set and remember that at night Raakshasas grow stronger. Do not delay to slay her."

     Thus advised, Raama decided on killing Taataka and pierced her chest with a deadly arrow and  the huge, ugly monster fell down lifeless. 

     The Devas cheered, and Viswaamitra, filled with joy, embraced Raama and blessed him. 

     With Taataka's end, the forest was freed from the curse and became beautiful to see. The princes spent the night there and next morning they proceeded to Viswwamitra's aashrama.

     At dawn the next day. Viswaamitra called Raama to his side and blessing him said;" I am very happy indeed. What is it that I can do in return for all that you have done? I shall teach you the use of all the astras."

     So saying Viswaamitra gave Raamachandra the divine astras which he had obtained through his tapas. Viswamitra taught Raama the use, control and recall of the various divine weapons and Raama in his turn imparted the knowledge to Lakshmana.

     O son of Kunti, either you will be killed on the battlefield and attain the  heavenly planets, or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom.  Therefore, get up with determination and fight.

2-38 
     Do thou fight for the sake of fighting, without considering happiness or distress, loss or gain , victory or defeat --and by so doing you shall never incur sin. 

2-39
     Thus for I have described this knowledge to you through analytical study. Now listen as I explain it in terms of working without fruitive results. O son of Partha, when you act in such knowledge you can free yourself from the bondage of works. 

2-40
     In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.

ఈ ప్రకారంగా  ప్రకాశమానమైన భాగవత మహాపురాణమనే పారిజాత మహీజాన్ని సమాశ్రయించుటం మూలాన, శ్రీహరి విశేషంగా అనుగ్రహించటం మూలాన నా జన్మ చరితార్థమైన  దన్న సంగతి చక్కగా అర్థం చేసుకున్న నేను ఆనదీ ప్రదేశం నుంచి  కదలి కొన్నాళ్ళకు ఏకశిలా నగరానికి తిరిగి వచ్చాను. అక్కడ గురువులూ, వృద్ధులూ, పండితులూ , బంధువులూ మొదలైన పెద్దల అనుజ్ఞ అందుకున్నాను.

SEETHA'S RESOLVE

  RAMAYANA The King bade Sumantra let the prince in. Raama came and bowed to the King from a distance. As soon as he saw Raama, the King suddenly rose and rushed without-- stretched arms  to embrace him. but dropped in a swoon before reaching his son.  Raama and Lakshmana tenderly lifted him up and put him on the couch."My Lord, "  said Raama "we have come to seek your leave  to go to the forest. Vaidehi and Lakshmana too are going with me in spite of all I could do to make them desist. Pray give us your benedictions and leave to depart." Dasaradha then said "Raama, I am bound by the boons that I have given to Kaikeyi. But you are not so bound. Why do you not brush me aside and seize the Kingdom by force? That had long been in King's mind as the best and only solution of the cruel problem and came out now clearly in words. But Raama said: I have no desire for kingdom or power, father.May you reign for a thousand years more. My heart is now set on going to t...

AHALYA

RAMAYANA After a day's stay  in the City of Visaala, Viswaamitra and his  party left for Mithila. On the way,  not for from Mithila, they saw a beautiful aashrama which seemed untenanted. Raama asked V iswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?" Viswaamitra replied: "This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire. "When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed hu...

RAMAYANA Contemporaneously with the yaaga in A yodhya there was a conference of the Devas in heaven. The Devas complained to Lord Brahma that  Raavana, king of the demons, drunk with the power acquired by the boon granted to him by Brahma, was causing them untold misery and hardship. they represented to Brahma:"It is beyond our capacity to subdue, conquer or kill  Raavana. In the security of your boon, he has grown wicked and insolent and ill-treats all, even women,  His desire is to dethrone Indra. You are only our only  refuge  and it is for you to devise a method by which Raavana can be slain and his despotism ended. " Brahma knew that he had granted to Raavana the boon prayed for by him that he should be invulnerable and invincible against Devas, Asuras,Gandharvas and other such beings. In his arrogance, Raavana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the Gods rejoiced and turned to  Vishnu....
