RAMAYANA

Alarmed at their supremacy, the Devas now came to terms and humbly entreated Viswaamitra to desist. They said: "Let Trisanku stay where he is at present. Let the other stars of your creation shine for ever, like your own fame and honour. Control your anger and be friends with us.

Gratified at this submission, and as easily appeased as provoked,
Viswaamitra halted his creative process. But his stupendous activities has consumed the whole of the power that he had thus far acquired by his austerities, and he found he had to begin again.

Viswaamitra now proceeded westwards to pushkara and resumed his austerities. For years the rigorous tapas continued, but once again as it was about to bear fruit something happened to rouse his anger and he lost  his balance and cursed his own sons. Soon recovering himself, he firmly resolved never again to yield to anger, and resumed his tapas.

After many years of austerities Brahma and the devas appeared before him and said: "O Kousika! Your tapas has borne fruit. You are no longer in the ranks of  kings; you have become a real rishi." Having thus blessed Viswaamitra, Brahma returned.

This was again a disappointment.He wanted to become a Brahma Rishi and Vasistha's peer and he had only been acknowledged an ordinary rishi. It was a recognition as futile as the missiles of power which Vasishtha's  Brahmananda had swallowed.

He therefore decided to go on with his tapas, making it more severe than  ever before.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

11-1
Sanjaya said: Seeing Arjuna full of compassion,his mind depressed, his eyes full of tears, Madhusudhana , Krishna spoke the following words.

11-2
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life.They lead not to higher planets but to infamy.

11-3
O son of Partha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you . Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O Chastiser of the enemy.

11-4
Arjuna said: O killer of enemies , O killer of Madhu, how can I counterattack with arrows in battle men like Bhishma and Drona, who are worthy of my worship?

పోతన భాగవతము

1-14
ఈ జగత్తులో జన్మించిన ప్రతి ఒక్కడు చేతులారా శివుణ్ణి పూజించి, నోరారా కేశవుణ్ణి కీర్తించి,సత్యమూ కరుణా మొదలైన సద్గుణాలను అలవరచుకోవాలి. అలా చేయని నిర్భాగ్యుడు ఈ లోకంలో పుట్టటందేేినికి? తల్లి కడుపు చెడగొట్టటం దేేినికి?
మిగతాది..తర్వాత.

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....
