Avathara purushan by Vali (part 4)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Kishkinda kanda
1.Hanuman
Hanuman is the
dharma carried by
Anjana Devi,
Fir ten months in
her womb. The boon given,
To the world by
God Wind with great mercy.
He is as big as a hill, but for looks
he is as simple as a calf,
He had learnt the
nine grammars from sun god, one
after another,
While running in front
of his chariot
Though he was a
great philosopher,
Without any
enlargement of his head,
He had only
his chins enlarged
He is the control
of senses, which grew ,
Legs , hands and later tail and ,
Was walking on
this earth,
The Brahmacharya
which he was,
Nurturing without any error
was wonder among
wonders
In his body where hairs grew, passion did not,
And because of
this his strong body never became weak
As a very strong person , if he takes his super form,
The sky will get
torn , but from beginning to end,
Only stream of mercy will flow
He will hold Gadha
in his hand but he,
Will only carry
mercy in his eyes
He will swim in the ocean as well as the heart of good people
His long hands will extend only to protect honestey,
And the only
language his toungue and mind knew
was truth
He is campable of assuming any form at any time, and
Inspite of that ,
he is a hundred percent good person
Now he took the form of a Brahmin lad and to know,
Who they were?, Hanuman went towards the lord
and his brother,
Seeing them from a distance he talked
to himself
Are they two of
the great trinity of gods or
Both are same
person split in to two?
They wear the saint’s attire but why
are they carrying a bow?
They are not devas
but based on which can we conclude ,
That they are men?The light of Dharma in their eyes and in their body ,
And strength they
have light of good behavior..
Have they lost some thing precious and came in search of it?
In search of that
have they become worried and
pained.
Why is it that my body
melts on seeing them?
Why is it that my
mind is going away from me?,
Why does it go before me
and is chit chatting with them?
Why is it in my mind there is a peace , which was never before with me?
Carrying within
my mind so many “why “, Hanuman went
near,
The person of purity Rama and his sibling,
He welcomed them and enquired.
The Lord asked him “Oh Lad who are you? And Hanuman answered
“Oh lord, I am the one
who is called Hanuman. Anjana
devi is my mother,
Wind God is my
father, The poor me is the servant
of Sugreeva , the son of Sun God,
Who is living on this mountain He has sent me to find out
, who you are?
The humility of
Hanuman, the explanation he gave, The
exceeding good character,
That was visible in him, the shine of his look,
strength of his body,the knowledge
Which flew from him like a spring and showed himself in
affection with others
Seeing them Rama, told his younger
brother, “brother he looks small,
But in his behavior
he is the king, The light of
Vedas are seen in his
eyes and because
Of that every words he speaks is knowing his limitation,
To tell in brief, he
is the king of words, the
thief who came near
me and robbed my heart.
After speaking like this to his younger brother,
after that spoke with Hanuman lovingly.
“Oh son of wind God Hanum,an, we are going to see your king Sugreeva,
To know his place
of residence, we are working very hard, Please do the needul for that,
Take both of us to
him”
The son of wind god told Rama with humility”Oh lord , by your coming , our Lord,
Would be benefitted. He may get more strength than now,In spite of That,
How shall poor me introduce you to him, Please tell this poor person
Take mercy and
please tell,
For the question of Hanuman, the younger brother answered, Oh Brahmin lad, He is the
Son of king of Ayodhya, He is the primeval to everything
Protecting the
words of his father as well his step
mother,
He who gave his younger brother the country that belonged to him,
Afterwards he
came to this forest, He is the loving
husband of mother Janaki and I am his
servant
Understanding the particulars , the son of wind god ,
thought
That the son of
the emperor as the lord Vishnu himself,
He fell on the earth
and saluted the feet of the great one of Raghu clan
Rama did not accept this act-he did not expect it.He said
“son you are a Brahmin and I am from royal caste,
Your saluting me
is not proper”told he to Maruthi
For that Hanuman
replied”Oh lord , I am not a Brahmin,
I belong to species of monkeys , an animal”
Before knowing who you are, I hid myself from you,
And after knowing
you , I am happy.
After saying this
the sweet Hanuman, showed him in his real form,
Rama
appreciated his wisdom.
Then Hanuman told that he will bring Sugreeva to that place and went but,
Ananda Rama did not go away from his mind
To the Sugreeva
who was shivering and hiding
himself in the cave
They are not enemies-the one who has come is totality of
culture
Said son of wind god
to him,The son of Sun God was happy
Maruthi added
“Oh chief, the two who have come are heart of your heart,
The sons of Dasaradha, theyare poison to the heart of your enemy vali
They are books of Dharma
who walk on earth,
The elder is Rama
who is equal to form of God,
Though his heart is hurt, he will stand erect like the needle of a Balance
He has got his weapons
from sage Vishwamithra, and using them
He churned the
liver of Thadaga like curd
As soon as the dust of his feet fell , the curse of Ahalya was removed
He was the one who broke the ancient bow and one ,
Who married the
new statue Sita after
breaking it
Parasurama wasI one who killed several kings who met him,
He was the one thewho
destroyed his pride
Obeying the words
of affectionate father, he gave ,
His country to his younger brother and one,
Who came to dandaka forest afterwards
He was the one who killed
all the asuras in that forest,
And did not leave any one and burnt them to ashes
The wife of this
great expert, the pure one who walked on
this earth,
Has been kidnapped
by deceit by the king of Lanka,
And has made both of them worried/.
They have come in
search of her who has parted,
They want your
friendship only for that,
It is definite
that they will kill that Vali by
their arrow,
And it s also
definite that they will make you live
After telling like this Hanuman put out the
suspicion of Sugreeva
Then later he
introuduced Sugreeva and that pretty
Rama,
Because of them had lost their kingdom and wife,
Hearing each others story
their minds melted
The heart of each of them . fell in to the heart of
other,
They signed a
treaty for each other wiping the tears of the other
The Hanuman took the Lord
and younger one to the palace of
sugreeva
The son of Surya gave feast to those who were born in sun’s clan
Anjaneya
described the enmity which happened between Vali and Sugreeva,
To the helper of
dangers who removes the sorrow of others
2.Vali
Vali was the poetic king who ruled
from Kishkinda,
The father of
Hanuman the wind king was his minister
His younger
brother Sugreeva was the junior
king
When both of them were ruling their fame
spread everywhere
In later days both developed difference
of opinion in the government
Because of that
differences bloomed between them
Both of them had same mother but different fathers,
Vali was son of king of Indra
and Sugreeva , the son of sun god
Seventy companies
of Monkey army obeyed orders of
Vali
He was the one who observed purity
in his respect,
Lord Shiva gave
him lots of boons
The power that was
in ocean earth , fire and wind
Was in his tail, the
whiteness of the sky was seen in
his shoulders,
Who will come to fight this valorous one here,
If an enemy comes
before him , due to his boon , he will get half his strength,
This boon
was given to him by fire God
Within a half a
second he will jump from floor to the peak of the mountain,
He will jump
across the deep sea as if it were a
pond, very easily
The stick of rule of king of Lanka was not as long as tail of Vali,
The son of Indra
is one who tied Ravana in his
tail and went around the world
Keeping the courage of his father and charity of his mother in his mind,
Is Angadha who
lived greatly and was the darling son of Vali
and his wife Thara
During those days
there was an asura called Dundhubhi, NO one can be compared to him
He will swallow
thousand elephants by his mouth
and still he will live with great hunger,
Enlarging his form, he will reach the sky, he will hit the cool moon with his horns,
He was sad
that there was no one equal to his strength,
He went on searching
day and night for a suitable man to fight
At last he challenged the one who rides on Garuda
for a war,
He showed him one who rides on the bull who showed him,
One who rides on elephant and he showed him father of Angadha
The father of Angadha beat and broke that Asura and made him suffer
He washed
Dundhubhi like a dirty cloth, he took him ,
Rotated over his head
and threw him,
When the dead body of that Asura fell on the hermitage of sage Mathanga
The sage who could guess, that it was thrown by Vali , literally burned like Yaga fire
He cursed that if
Vali came to this mountain, he will die
and later he prayed God
Later another
Asura called Mayavi, came to
Vali’s Kishkinda ,
And talked
artificially.He scolded them in a
bad way.
Vali stood up and tore him line by line. With less life
,
He escaped and
hid himself in a cave, Stopping Sugrreeva ,
Who followed ,him , in the mouth of the cave, with
great anger,
Vali entered
the cave and searched for him.
For twenty eight months,
Sugreeva waited near
the mouth of the cave.His legs started
becoming weak.
One day blood started coming out in large quantities from the cave and
They also heard huge commotion made by the crowd of asuras,
And this gave mental
confusion to Sugreeva
Thinking that his
elder brother Vali has been killed by
the asuras,
He closed the
mouth of the cave by a very big stone and ran to Kishkinda
Allmonkey leaders with a wish that the country should not become an orphan,
Made Sugreeva their king and they slowly consoled themselves
because of it.
One day Vali
came back fully alive and stood before Sugreeva
Sugreeva not able to decide whether it was realty or dream pinched himself to
verify
After deciding it
is truth, he fell at the feet of elder
brother and saluted him,
He agreed to serve elder
brother like previous times
“Oh brother you
have come and made me alive, take this
country”
Saying like this he saluted him with folded hands
But Vali did not agree
to the words of his sibling, and
so the younger one ,
Could not escape from attack of the eleder
Vali rotated and
rotated and hit his brother .with bursting anger he said,
“without killing you , I will not take rest, To save his own life
, the younger brother
Ran away from kishkinda.
He came to the mountain where sage matanga’s home was there and hid himself there
Thinking about the curse
of Matanga , Vali did not
come near the mountain.
Later taking away Ruma who was wife of
Sugreeva, vali went to kishkinda.
From that day to the son of Sun god , son of Indra became a born enemies
When son of wind god explained the story of Vali like this,Sitamama
Heard that
silently and at the end his lotus
like face showed anger
“Sugreeva , I will
kill the Vali who beat you not believing in you and
Carried away your wife in a second,I will get the crown
again to you,
Tell me where that
Vali is?
My arrows want to kill him
Saying like this Sundararama hugged Sugreeva and Sugreeva
drowned himself
in ocean of joy.
But in the mind of son of sun god, had a disbelief about the lord
-a line of suspicion about victory.
How can Vali who
was like a mythical Yali be killed by a
mere arrow,
With in the heat
of mid summer will water of ocean dry?
If you blow with mouth
lamp can be put out but can moon be?
If we throw stones fruits may fall but will stars
fall?
No one is equal to Rama in showing affection , not in sending an
arrow?
Sugreeva took Veeraraghava outside and asked him whether he
can shoot through seven trees standing in a row?
Within a second
Rama bent his bow and sent
an arrow through
those seven trees.
After doing that
job properly the arrow returned
to his hand
Sugreeva saluted Rama said, “Only you are
equal to yourself,
Only you are help
for me.
Rama saw a
huge collection of bones in front of
them
He asked Sugreeva , What are They?
“the skeleton of Dundhubhi whom my brother killed.” He replied,
Dasaratha Rama
slightly laughed
He told Lakshmana, “By your finger of you leg you kick this bundle of
bones.”
The youger brother did and it fell at a
distance of Seven Kadham
With tears the son
of sun God saluted them and there was no
limit to his surprise.
“Oh my lord, You are
stronger in every aspect,The good man
Who is in between
the good and bad people .I argued with
you
And without brain tested you
I the monkey am
seeing for the first time the
dharma of heaven
Walking on this earth,As soon I realized it , I hugged
you tightly”
Saying this
Sugreeva went in side and came out with
a bundle,
He gave to the hands of Dasaradhi and told a news
“few days back we saw Ravana flying towards the south, a
lady who was sitting there
Threw this bundle
on the earth and we caught it.”
When Rama opened the bundle and saw, Sita’s jewels
shined from it.
They took
bath in Rama’s tears and son of
Dasratha stood there with his mind
boiling
He chided himself
He was not able to free
his wife and bring her back, asked himself,
“Am I the big archer”He became an ashamed sillyperson
Seeing the tears
of Rama, unable to bear Sugreeva also
stood with tears
“oh Lord, I will
resolve your problem and later
on you can solve my problem
Hanuman interfered and told with humility, “If we kill
vali first we will get
His huge army of seventy vellam.It can go to all
eight directions and searchSita.
Sundararama agreed to Hanuman’s opinion and then they
stared,
Towards kishkinda
where Vali stayed, removing the worries
in their eyes
3.Sugrreva was
crowned
Though he was son of the Sun in the sky,
Because he was
born in a monkey clan,
From head to food he was covered long hair,
Inspite of so much hair, he had an
endless sorrow ,
Above his head
But, he can kill Vali
now, if he kills his sorrow will
end,
And the endless sorrow will come down, today to end his
enmity,
Was not the power
of his long tail , but the
strength of Lord Vishnu
Who was hiding behind him
He who normally hides
behind the Vedas today
Hid himself behind trees and Sugreeva went to call Vali for war
Going and standing
before the doors of Vali’s home,
Sugrreva
challenged him for fighting with fist,
He told him that he
will drink the blood of elder
broth like payasam(kheer)
Vali who was sleeping in his room, hearing the challenge.,
Of his younger brother got up
suddenly and he fell ,
In the ocean emotion of terror
Earlier receiving my beats , he ran away and now,
Believing in what
has that useless one challenged me, Vali wondered,
Then he said “Brother
, I am coming and I will now itself
,
Give freedom to your soul
and he rushed outside
Thara prevented
her husband,she who gave herself in marriage to him,
The only star
which shined in the sky of his
mind,
And in that thara’s eyes there was flow of tears
She was even prepared
to stand upside down to the stop the fighrt,
But Fate did not agree
with her
“Do not stop me” he said
, “I will come back with flying colours,
Roared Vali with
blood rushing in to his head,
I will cut my sibling
in to pieces, He hummed
Knowing that her coloured
Mangalya would be there,
Only if Vali is there, To
see it remain, THara talked
“ Oh my soul who is my soul of soul,
How can there be
enmity between the siblings
Even if you wipe it away, would smoke go away from fire,
If the two lips refuse to come together,
They can tell na , tha
but cannot tell pa and ma
If younger and elder
say that they would not hug,
Then only they have their greatness which is golden greatness,
But they cannot have greatness of clan or family
If family and family
fight , will not outsiders enter?
If other one enters will
not the family be destroyed
Apart from that , I came
to know a news from spies,
And that is why I
have dared to prevent you from going
Your brother ,
this time has not come alone ,
For his support
the son of Dasaratha has come
carrying his great bow.”
Vali denied the
talk of his wife and told.
“Do not talk nonsense
with your female brain,
Is Rama, the son of Dasaratha is friend of
my brother?
He is a friend of all beings on earth surrounded by sea.
He is great hero who can cut of hands as big as
Himalayas,
Will he become
friend with a insignificant
monkey?
Would this be agreed
by any body with any brain?
Will Dharma kill
Dharma? Or will truth win over truth?
I know , who is
Rama, He is the perfect form of honesty
He who has given
up his crown, which came because he was elder,
And gave it to his younger brother because his father
told so.
While coming from home , he has come dressed in hide
of a tree.
He respects the
relation between elder and younger
brothers,
Will he for helping
a younger brother plant an arrow on my chest?
Dear wife, leave out fear, Be calm for some time,
I will teach my brother as to what
humility is?
If he does not get
controlled , I will kill him,
And hand over to my servants to cremate him
Vali came out
like the rising of the ocean of milk,
He showed his younger brother his health and strength
The fence of Dharma
was hiding behind the tree
There was a fierce
fight between Vali and Sugreeva,
The wrestling
turned in to a fight of the teeth
Then they caught each other, hit each other,
Bit each other and it continued as fierce wrestling,
In the battle of scratch and bite both of them,
Took bath in the
blood, They tore of the hanging
skin from each other
Unable to fight
with Vali, Panting Sugreeva came and stood before Rama.
“Why did you forsake
me he asked?”
“You both do not have even a minute difference,
And so I did not understand what to do?
And so I did not
take my bow., Do not worry,
You go wearing a garland
of forest flowers,
My bow will
identify Vali and kill him.”
Said Sitarama to
Sugreeva to make him peaceful
With garland in
his neck, Sugreeva,
Went and fought
with Vali ferociously,
He disturbed his
pride, Vali jumped up,
And hit at his
chest and and lifted him up,
So that he can dash him on earth
Immediately , the lord of Dharma ,
Who was behind a tree
sent an arrow,
It went in side
Vali’s chest and rested there,
The son of Indra fell on the ground,
He was stained
by the stream of blood
This arrow ,
Came from where, who shot it,
And who did this abominable act here”
Wondering like this, Vali took out the arrow by his right
hand
When he saw, name of
Rama in its base,
He wailed
with a broken heart
The one who came and stood silently before Vali
Along with bow hanging
on his shoulders,
Was Dasaratha’s son,
Vali sent
arrows of questions,
To him who dug an
arrow in to him.
“Are you son of
Dasaratha? I am not able to believe,
He gave his life for
protecting his words given by him,
To protect
whose words , did you take away
my soul,
You gave the
kingship that belonged to you to your
brother,
Hearing whose word , did you give my kingship to my brother?
The great man Bharatha, who did not wear the crown given
by his mother to him,
Saying it was an
insect causing disease, and kept it aside
To that Bhratha
you are the elder brother,
Are you one born
in the clan of Mandatha?
Are you born in the clan of emperor Shibhi
Who sat on the balance, to save a dove?
Are born in the clan of
Bhageeratha who,
Who begged the
three eyed God, so that he can
Bring river Ganga
so that his ancestors will get salvation?
Do you belong to the clan of Raghu? Are that Of Rahu,
Who hiding behind
a bush bit a sleeping elephant?
Is the world talking of a person
who hid himself and shot an
arrow,
As the starting
spring of Dharma, alas,
My toungue hurts
when I think of calling you like that
Am I an enemy to you, Did
I challenge you for war?
Destroying all aspects your virtue, for you to kill me,
Alas , what cruelty
did I commit to you?
You shot an arrow,
but lost your Dharma,
Today honesty has been crushed
Would any body bother from now on,
To practice and protect honesty?
My wife even
before warned me about you,
She stopped me and
said , “do not go to the war”
I disregarded her
words and because of that,
I am letting out my
blood like a river.
Had you told , one
word to me, I would have ,
Got back and
entrusted your wife to you,
Just by beating with my tail , I would have killed
king of Lanka?
Oh Rama , it is a
rule that those who are born should die,
But by killing
me what you earned is a very bad name.”
To questions of Vali
, Lord rama replied
“Oh Vali , I gave
word to your brother,
For protecting my word
, I shot that arrow,
Since I had lost my kingship and wife
also,
I saw
Sugreeva within me.,
Sugreeva saw
me within himself.
And immediately I promised,
Your family, my family,
Your enemy , my
enemy.
I stood by my promise
You harshly punished
your brother,
Who had not committed
a crime knowingly,
You made his
partner of life as yours.
The younger brother’s wife is your
daughter,
Because you
did not know it , you are
suffering your fate,
The greatest sin among sins is
stealing wife of another,
This is what I have learnt and it is my duty,
To take revenge on
those who did that mistake”
At the end of arguments, the one who has come carrying a bow,
Was the end of Vedas, Understanding this Vali,
The king of monkeys saluted the charitable one who gave
country to his brother,
And has given salvation to himself and cried due to love for him
Later he
consoled Thara and angadha and his
brother who was standing and crying,
And that son of
Indra went to heaven,
Lord Kesava
praised him and stood there
Next day with Brahmins blessing, With auspicious
musical drums playing
As per the
order of Rama, Lakshmana crowned
Sugreeva
And Sugreeva worshipped
the feet of Rama
4.The search started
He who was of the colour of cloud told that the rainy
season has started,
And after it
reduces they can search her, who
had hair like rain,
And the monkey who was
made to sit on the throne by Lord Hari ,
Agreed to it and
seconded it
After constructing
a mud hut on the mountain
,
Where hermitage of
Mathanga was there, the Rama,
Along with his brother continued his Vana Vasa
there
He sat there thinking of Vaidehi
The goddess of cultivated land started living in eloped state,
And she stood
wearing a cotton dress woven by Varuna ,
In the sky weaver
The agricultural
land where plough of
relationship,
grew the continous crop of joy, the mind of
consort of sita, ,
Then looked like a
desert, she who talked like milk was not there beside him,
And his only job
was worrying about her
Like this in the forest
the lord was restless,
And he was
counting his days one by one,
Torrential rain was
falling day and night,
The rain of tears and rain of water was wetting him,
The rain of mercy was always thinking of his rain of love,
And the younger one
consoled the elder
He lit the lamp of
hope that once rainy season is over,
They will
achieve their aim
The rainy season got over, the forest water drained,
They could
differentiate between day and night,
The sun painted colours on the surrounding walls,
Made dirty by the
clouds in the sky,
For the earth to wake up he sang good morning with light
Sugreeva did not come
along with army as agreed to.,,
He who broke the body
of his elder brother taking help of Sitarama
Did not give respect for words he had given earlier
Sita’s husband
became very angry saying
that
Sugreeva went against his word, he drew a line on earth,
By the tip
of Kodanda
Then he talked
with his brother, He threw
boiling words
“Brother ,
Sugreeva the son of sun god achieved victory because of us
Has killed his gratitude, He told us that after
cessation of rain,
He will come with
his army, Though delayed he has not
come,
Taking our courteous
behavior with him lightly
roaming in pride,
Or after
getting the throne , has he
forgotten everything?
WE are the one’s who gave him the post.,
He is one who has forgotten our help,
Suppose he forgets our love
, our arrow will speak,
If he speaks
needless words , our arrow will speak.
Lakshmana , you go
there immediately, tell him,
That the sharp arrow which killed Vali is in
our quiver,
Tell that monkey who is in the royal cage”
Lakshmana took to
his heart what his lord said,
Immediately the brother
started like an elephant in must
The monkey army saying to each other
“angry Lakshmana is coming, if he will come,
He will churn the entire clan of monkeys”
And they shut the door
of the fort,
And behind the
closed door , they heaped lot of
stones .
With fear itself
getting scared of him, holding one bow,
A elephant with
must walked in the streets of Kishkinda,
When it walked the dust it raised was also scared
Lakshmana with force kicked the locked door of the fort,
The door broke, seeing it
Angadha shivered
He understood the
mistake of his father’s brother
He ran and woke up
Sugreeva who was lying down,
But Sugrreva slipped from his hold
Like the banana
stem coated with castor oil
Liquor had drunk him.It liked him too much,
Sugreeva was lying down keeping bra of ladies
as pillow,
He had dressed
himself with some pretty ones lying near him
Seeing the state
of his father’s brother , Angadha
,
Not knowing what
to do was greatly worried ,
And then he ran in search of his mother
Getting the news from Angadha , Thara
and Hanuman,
Met Lakshmana, after
saluting him, they stood
shivering,
Lifting his both
eye lids the junior lord saw THara
Dressed in
white in a widow’s attire,
He saw thara who was like that because
her consort ,
Was killed by the arrow of Rama,
Thinking that his mother
also would be wearing white cloth like this,
He shed loads of tears
Later after
calming his mind he told Hanuman
“Oh scholar of new
grammar , Have you also
forgotten Rama’s job?
Why did you not
point out its importance to Sugreeva?
Why is there delay
in start of the job of
searching Sita?
The time frame
which was decided by you, why is
it getting prolonged?
Based on a friendship,
few days back an agreement was
reached,
What is preventing
your Sugreeva from implementing
it?
He should protect his word , otherwise, he should accept
my attack,
Even if many of you come to protect Sugreeva, they cannot win over my brother,
I do not have much
to talk about it,”
Hanuman understanding
that Lakshmana was in
anger which cannot bristeled,
Answered with
humility
“Oh worshipful
junior lord, How can we
forget the help rendered by you and lord Rama?
If we forget ,
will we die properly? The messengers
sent by Sugreeva to summon,
Our monkey army
which is situated in diverse places have not come back
And so we have not
come over there
Oh Lord , it is
normal for all to err. Unless you pardon
those errors,
It would be difficult for
us to keep alive,
Our Lord Sugreeva
is slightly not sharp, the god has
created him like that,
Otherwise son of Sun
God is not a cheater, to wash off his hands as soon as his job is over
WE were all born
as monkeys but in showing gratitude we are like dogs.”
Slowly pouring the water of words, Anjaneya to a large
extent put out
The fire of
anger of Lakshmana
By that time
struggling and cajoling Angadha
, made Sugreeva free ,
From the prison of
stupour and told him the news ,
That
Lakshmana has come
with great anger
As soon as he
became normal, the son of sun god
shivered like a tail of lizard
Feeling that a
wrong act has been done, he bit his
lower lip by the upper
He agreed that the
grammar of friendship was spoiled by alcohol.
In anger he spit on himself.
Then he immediately sent his brother’s son Angadha to
receive ,
Lord Lakshmana with
all respects due to him
As soon as Lakshmana came he washed his feet with his tears
He begged him for
a pardon and he went to meet Rama along
with his brother.
Sri rama who had
the habit of pardoning all except in born thugs,
Tightly hugged
Sugreeva who praised his feet and
saluted him with folded hands,
The fire of his
postphoning the job was doused
Again friendship flowered
in both their minds
Next day son ofd Sun God came
with a huge army, Seing that Rama
was greatly surprised
Seventy vallam army fully
stood before the primeval
God,That took Lakshmana
To the top of surprise.He said
“Oh brother, this
monkey army, is answer to all our
questions.” “Yes” said his brother
To the east, west
and North , Sugreeva sent
very able warriors and he ordered
them that
They should find out
the place of mother and return
within a month.
He chose Hanuman
to go to South and he said , “definitely
he will locate the goddess”
He joined Angadha as well as Jambhavan along with Hanuman
and also two vellam of his army to help
them
Then Sugreeva told
them the path as well as places
where they have to search in detail.He
said mountains like Vindhya and Hema koota would come
in their way.He also warned about
Venkata mountain and podigai mountain.
5.Signet ring
Sugreeva then described
about those two mountains. He
told them about their greatness. Oh great valorous ones,Go round the venkata
and pOdigai mountains and salute themand bow your head.
Do not go very near them nor stay there long.
Vengada mountain is
the place where
Lord Govinda has a temple,
It s the place where Lord Vishnu came
and learnt meaning of Vedas,
The trees there shower the honey pot of flowers to the
black god,
And daily worship him,For getting blessings
The wind as well
as the clouds go rolling round the God
there
The illusory god
who took incarnation of fish and took
the incarnation to worship
And sat in this place
Holding the garland of salagrama, that consort of neela
devi,
Opened his long
eyes and they are like blue lotus flowers
The Veda Ghana
Mountain, Jnana mountain, the
living mountain and the seven
mountains,
Are there and the
past karma of those who climb these mountains will vanish,
Those who see sanctum of the seven mountain God may not
see it
Again there is another sanctum that of the
very pure Padmavathi,
The town where he
husband stays .If you go there ,.
You will get rid of the birth cycle and attain salvation and so,
Leave out that desire for Rama’s work
is important to us
Similarly famous is the Podiga mountain
where sage Agasthya lives,
There is the head
quarter of the nectar like Tamil
sangam
Tamil is an elderly
language,
The first language
which flowerd in the face of the dumb
world
It is the garland like language , which was made
by Lord Ganesa,
Stitching together
the figures of speech
In summary to the greatly wise people,
The tamil of three parts
will be their third eye
The day time knows , the date
when the world was born,
The ocean knows
the date on which the water rich clouds
were born,
The day when roots were
born below the earth will be
known by the seed
But who in the world will know when the great tamil
language was born
If you enter
Podiga mountains and go, there
pots and pots of nectar like
Tamil poems of
various types would be poured in your
ears
(poems like
Agaval, Andathi.. etc)
And the sound of the very auspicious tamil would draw you towards it
Later you who were
born in the monkey clan will all turn in
to clan of poets
And stand far away. Salute the divine
Tamil.
After that go to Mahendra mountain and search for mother,
If you are not able
to find out mother there, you cross
the blue sea and come with good
news
Sugreeva gave a long talk and stopped,Hanuman received
all those words told by
his king.
Before they departed Rama called the son of wind god asked him to come privately,He gave him
certain news
“Oh Anjaneya , my
dear friend You only can make smile
sit on my lips again.
Only you can bring the light of moon shine in both my eyes
You are atlas of valour , the drawing board of wisdom, the source of Dharma,
But in spite of that
you are pot that will not spill its water
Your great
wisdom is a sharp
knife.It innate power would bring
victory to your work, There is no doubt
about that in me
But in spite of that, for you to identify Sita when you see her, I will tell you
certain identity and certain secrets , hear them, There is
no one who is closer than you to me, hear
My wife Sita is
the model of great ladies,
She is the literature which roams around the world
She is the one who
has descended from the right chest of Lord Vishnu,
And opened herself here as
a lotus flower
She is the blessing taken by his two hands
by King Janaka
All aspects of
culture have submitted before her
The weapon she
has is deep rooted virtue
Her full face is
the moon , which gets down from a boat
and takes rest
The walk of her legs is the walk of books with literary
beauty
Once they hear
her speech, the makara veena and flute will feel ashamed,
Once they see the light of her eyes, Gold
thinking about its own poor
luster will feel sad
Which lady has all
these specialties, she is my Sita,
You decide it
based on your mental judgment,
If your mind does not agree , go and see another lady
If your mind tells that
this is Sita tell her all these
old happenings,
Which I am going to tell you, in a way that she
believes you
Earlier in the town of Mithila, when I was following the
sage,
My Maithili who
talks like a baby, stood on the terrace
for virgins,
With her coloured
flower like eyes ate me.
She also saw , I
also saw her and god of love also saw it,
And encouraged our
love
When Sita heard about my
breaking of Shiva’s bow, she took an oath that,
Unless it is the deva who came with the sage in the
street,
Who has broken the
big bow, I will not put the garland on
him,
And I will go to
the heavens,
Later after coming
to the hall, when she came to know,
That it is I , who
has broken the bow,
That pretty one
smiled like an opening of jasmine
While going to forest, she said “I also will come”
I told her, “If
you come it is sorrow for me”
Then I saw tears
on her coloured eyes,
“After you part with me , will things be sweet to you in forest” , she
said
And she stood before me like a burning shadow
When we were crossing Ayodhya and as soon as we crossed
the boundary wall ,
Just like a child
with a pure white heart she asked
“Where is the forest?”
Later In
Chithrakoota , one crow bit
on Sita’s breats and I took a
grass,
And sent it as an arrow and when it fell on my feet and
said “I surrender”
I cut of the sight in one of its eyes
“Oh Hanuman tell all this news to my wife and ask for her
reply
Take my signet ring, you give it to my ocean of love,
And pour water of
hope in the tired , lotus like heart of
mine.
Then Rama removed his
ring and gave it to him,
And Hanuman touched
his eyes with that and saluted him.
The son of wind god and the monkey army went on searching
,
In the Vindhya mountain, in the long path, in the long
banks,
Of Godavari and other rivers with just like sieving all those places
Unable to see mother
greatly tired they searched in
Anga country
As soon as they reached
Yemakoota mountains they
split in to two
And they searched goddess
separately
The one half of
monkey army which had Hanuman And
angadha in it
Walked very long distance and stepped in to a desert.
Unable to bear the heat they covered their head with
their tails
The throat of
those who came to do service dried and their eyes shed tears
Their toungues
came out of their lips
When they were searching for water seriously, the monkeys drank
Their own sweat
and quenched their thirst
And at that time they saw a cave and thinking there may
be ponds inside
With lot of desire , they entered in to it
There was no light nor air to breath,
Due to fear their toungue got pasted
on upper part of their mouth,
Their toungues cried to talk
Hanuman consoled all of them and took them in ,
For he was the only one who was not scared
After walking 12 yojanas
they saw a golden world there
And the saw its
prosperity in their eyes
There with a long tuft
one pretty lady was doing thapas.
Her eyes were full of mercy.
6.Sampathi
All people thought
that she was mother Sita,
When Hanuman said no, no, they dropped that thought
Hanuman could not compare
her with golden painting ,
By Rama using his word painting for she was
Like a stone painting and was doing thapas
And that is why the son of wind God told that she is not Sita
Hearing sound that lady
opened her eyes and
Asked they “Who are you all?”
And measured them with her long eyes
In detail Hanuman
, the boy born to Anjana
And the one who
had long tail and long wisdom ,
explained to her.
“Due to some circumstance
Rama wearing a matted tuft,
Came to Dandakaranya wi his brother and wife
The wife of he who has come was taken away
by a great asura,
Due to the king of our clan and the king of, clan of sun
God,
Shaking hands, we
have come here in the job of searching Sita.
Due to our toungues getting dried, we have come come
here.
Understanding there
the emissaries of the god
Who gives disease
for bad fate, she gave them a feast
Hanuman asked her
“who are you?”
“My given name
is SWayamprabha,I belong to clan of
devas,
This town was got by Maya
due to the boon of Lord Brahma,
And that is why it
has so much beauty
Maya wanted to marry one lady of the deva’s world.
She also liked him and I got them married,
Without the knowledge
of all the devas,
And I hid them here
Maya’s lover who
was my great friend ,
Kept me also here
as she did not want to part with ,me,
And with friendliness
I also stayed here
Searching that deva maiden the king of devas came here,
And he found out ,that
I was the reason for everything,
He killed Maya and got greatly angry with me
“You spend your
rest of life here only for,
You will not be able to see the way out from here” he cursed me
I begged him and he took pity on me
“at that time the monkeys come here due to blessing of Rama,
Then your troubles will get over, You can reach the sky,
And taking the deva maiden he returned back to heaven
Today due to your coming my curse got over.
I have to go to deva world but pitch darkness is hiding
the light,
I have to go out, only you have to help me by telling a trick.”
As soon as Swayam prabha finished her story Hanuman
Grew in to his super
mega form and split the cave in
to two
The monkeys got up to
the earth and Swayam prabha
climbed in to heaven
From then , Hanman, Angadha and all monkeys crossing
Thondai naadu,
The very famous Chozha country and Pondy country which
was protecting Tamil as well as pearls,
And reached the
Mahendra mountain,
As they were not
able to see the mother , they were
shattered,
The son of Vali told with great sorrow, “Searching the mother
,
After the one month time
given to us is not acceptable to me
What can I tell further, I shiver to return with an empty
hand,
I dare not see my
father’s brother.
Better than
that is for us to sit here,
And give up our
life by starvation
When Angadha told like this , Hanuman replied,
“time delay is not
important to us, Getting success is
important.
Unless we complete it , the treaty between Rama and Sugreeva
will be meaningless.
The place we have
searched is too small and still we have
to search in more areas.
If we wander day
and night and find out mother, We wil live
Or we will fight with the asura and fall down like the great Jatayu.
Living without
getting victory is waste of life, Doing the maximum work,
Getting
defeated and falling down is
fame.”
As soon as the name
of Jatayu was heard, Sampathi who
was daily,
Dying on the
mountain top, with pity crawled and came
to the place,
Where Hanuman and others
were there, He sorrowed greatly
Anjaneya
asked “who are you? And with
love Sampathi said,
“I am jatayu’s elder
brother” and then with great
respect ,
The messenger of
the lord asked him, “Don’t you know
about death of your brother?”
With tears hiding
his Sight Sampathi told
“Sir, Had I known that, next moment I too would
have died.
And would have
flown to heaven along with him,
jatayu is my brother but he is half of myself” said he
jatayu is my brother but he is half of myself” said he
Hanuman consoled him, brought down his wave of sorrow
“Oh great one born
in hawk clan , your younger brother
When the king of Lanka was taking away the queen of dasaratha Rama,
Tried to stop him.And in
that war of Dharma , he lost his
soul.
Knowing that the
cause of death of his brother , was
service to Rama,
His heart melted down and he was happy that his brother has reached,
The impossible to reach heaven
Hanuman asked him,
“ How did you who have lost your brother
has also lost your wings?
The king of hawks
explained.
We are the charioteers
of Lord Sun
Two jasmins buds born to a mother,
I am the
elder and Jatayu is the younger
One day both of us spread our wings to see the land of devas
We stepped in solar
world
Due the intense
heat of the sun, my brother suffered,
And I spread my long wings over him like
an umbrella
And both my wings burnt
and I fell on the earth
When a great man called
Loka saranga rubbed on my body,I got back my life
Seeing my sorry state
the sun god came and stood before me,
The messengers of
the black Sun , the rama would come and
tell his name here,
That day your
wings burnt by heat would grow again
And so if you
chant the name of Rama for my sake, my
wings will grow, and I will start living
“That name which if sown on the toungue will lead growth
of crop of wisdom,
That name , if we meditate upon, the karma which affects
you will go away,
That name by
learning which , another birth will not be there,
That name iff we
mentally chant, the past earned Karma
will go away,
That name , if you
chant it once, our generation will become prosperous,
That name if you
chant with faith, our life would become
prosperous
That name , if we
shout with faith, all disease would fly
away,
That name if we
chant, we will get the purpose
of this birth
That name which grants thousand comforts to its devotees
That name is Rama,
the name of the moon of Raghu clan,”
When the lips of monkeys chanted and chanted,
The wings of the body of sampathi started growing
All the sorrows
which affected him went away
Sampathi who got back the wings due to blessing of gods,
Thanked the monkeys and climbed on the sky,
Before going he
told them some useful things
7.Viswaroopam
Sita is in prison of Ravana’s Lanka,
Except by crossing a huge sea there is no method of reaching
Lanka
The distance is
hundred yojana ,before you cross you may have hundred thoughts,
I will tell you an idea
One of you who is very strong, should take a huge form,
And should
immediately cross the sea
Jambhava thought
for some time as to who can,
Achieve what
Sampathi has adviced and when his
inner mind told,
That Anjaneya is
the only one who is suitable to that,
He cast off his
doubts and Became clear
“Oh Anjaneya
where is the measure to your
Ability,
You are the key to
the fort of Dharma,
You are the huge
stick, which can upturn this entire earth
You are the
balance which can show the weight of Vedas,
If you think , you
can take a form touching the sky,
And you also can take a very tiny form,
If death reaches
you death itself will die,
And so even death will take refuge in you,
Your body is blue as if a black cobra has bit you,
Without your
consent your soul will not leave you,
You are the deathless
person who has got boons from
Brahma.
To the boy who
has got your leg , the sea is a
small channel,
And to you who has got a long tail , the sky is only
equal to your tail.
Your courage and body which are great are like fire
covered by ash,
If we blow air in it and remove the ash, the world will
know about you
There is no
comparable or greater or equal to you
You yourself has
not estimated about yourself
Oh Dharma, Oh greatness
who does not its measure,
He who is back of lie, the colour of blessed deeds,
Take your super
mega form, the sin will get detached and fall on earth”
Just like
the bear king Jambavan estimated,
was not only an unwritten wonder,
But a balance who can weigh the people
opposite him,
And show their merits
and demerits and that is why
The lord who carried the bow, became his Dasaratha’s son
And understood him as
Lord Vishnu as soon as he saw him
But the balance that weighs the gold cannot weigh
itself,
Can another balance
tell that to him
And that job was
done by Jambhavan,
He showed Hanuman
to Hanuman himself
The one who knew power of gold and hated gold,
The one who knew power
of female and denied love of
female,
He who had
understood the power behind these are the power of five senses
And he did not
bother about them
He lived without knowing and so with that power he was not proud
The son of wind god who
knew about himself for the first
time
He thought about who stood on a straight line and carried
the bow,
Up to his divine
shoulders
He saluted the
divine flower of his feet
