RAGHUVAMSHA:
SARGA 1:
Shloka
1:Myself for knowledge of meaning
and speech do namaskarams to Parvathi and Parameshwara
with devotion. Parvathi and parameshwara are worshipable to world like
like mother and father.They both are like speech and meaning. For knowledge of
words meaning I pray parvathi
parameshwara.
Shloka
2:Where is maha Raghuvamsha which has come from Sun?where is my intellect which
knows few matters.By this intellect to start to describe this mahavamsha(great family) which is impossible
to cross ocean with fascination is like trying to to cross ocean
in a small boat.
3)I am a
foolish ordinary man.But I have great
desire to get fame like poets.To eyes of people who see this, I will be a
matter of fun.is it not?In high trees there are fruits. They are available for high(height) people only. A short man stretching hands with greed,jumping ,is
trying to pluck .On seing him people on the road will laugh ?In the same way my condition also.
4) In rathna
bead hole done by diamond needle, as the thread passes,in
the same way real path shown by previous poets in this Raghuvamsha there is place to me also.
5)myself
since birth pure,doing karmas till fruit is produced,without leaving job till
fruit(result) is produced,ruling earth up to sea,having chariot path upto
heaven, kings of Raghuvamsha who were
driving chariot upto heaven, Existing
(present) “history of Raghuvamsha “I will tell.
6) Having
agnies(fires) which are done hutha homa(sacrifice),,that means who have done homas(sacrifices) as told in
scriptures,According to will, having worshiped beggers(yachakas,requesters),
knowing desire of beggers(requesters)
showing hospitality to them, having punishment according done mistakes, sleeping in time awakening from sleep were doing their works.
7)Accumulating
money for donation,,for truth speaking a
little,desiring for victory for
fame,havebecome house holders for sake of progeny(santhathi),
8) In
childhood learning
educations,desiring for sense objects,
enjoyment in youth,having vritthi(mental
make up,mental attitude) of munies,at end by meditation of paramathma(god) leaving body,
9)Sarhapathya,Ahavaniya,Dakshinagni-these
three fires these kings were serving(worshiping).
I have no
mastery(control) of words treasure which are needed for a poet.But still great
charecters of Raghuvamsha kings fell on my ear and in order to describe their
family (vamsha) writing poetry
fickleness attached me.Therefore as far as I know I will describe that family.
Charecters
of kings of Raghuvamsha:
1)
They
were pure by samskaras(predispositions) like
jathakarma excetra.
2)They were
doing job without gap till held work becomes fruitful.
3)They ere
emperors ruling whole earth.
4)They
had transactions(vyavahara) with gods.
5)classically
they were doing homa(sacrifice) in fire.
6)They were
giving donations to eggers(requesters)
so that their desire is fulfilled completely.
7) they
giving punishment to criminals suitable to their commitments.
8)Knowing
suitable time were doing state works.
9)They used
to earn(collect) well and donate.
10)
Having vow to speak truth only were of limited speech(mithabhashies).
11) By
winning enemies had gathered game.
12) Without
interest in lust(kama),for progeny only
were uniting with wife.
13) In
childhood celibacy(brahmacharya),,in youth householdership, in oldv age vat
end sanyasa they were undertaking(accepting).
10)This Raghuvamsha poetry(poem) good people should listen
Because if melted in fire only whether
gold is pure or mixed(impure) is understood.In the same way
sathpurusha scholars only
charecters and defects of poetry are known.
11)There was
king called vaivaswatha manu.He was worshipable to scholars,rushimunies,,to all
perople9citizens).This vaivaswatha manu
emperor first of all kings.Like
pranava to all Vedas and veda manthras.
12)Like
rathnas of sea,,like rays of sun,hey great Vishnu,,your world welfare works, as
are not caught by speech and mind,it is impossible to do sthothra(ptaise)
13)Having
broad chest, like ox’s hirulu(hump),who
has lifted shoulders,like shala tree having height,having long arms, according
to work which he used to do depending on body,kshathriya related dharma(religion) as though
high king took birth.In that famous Manu family, very pure ‘Dilipa’ named king ,like moon taking birth in milk sea,took
birth.
14)Meru
called mountain, passes through middle of earth,in this very better themeful(saara)
things are there,it’s brightness, dulls brightness of all other remaining
things,this is higher than all mountains,is described in epics(poranas).poet
comparing body of Dilipa with meru
mountain has used all these adjectives.
15)The king was having body
added with all features.he had
suitable knowledge also.He according to his knowledge, studying all
scriptures by classicam way only was behaving.Therefore all works done by him
were fulfilled (completed).
16)Dilipa
king was to his nearer people was luck and accessible(abhigamya). In Dilipa there
were Bhima charecters and kantha(attractive) charecters. By bhima
charecters to sub jivies king was luck,by kalaka(........?)charecters accessible also.luck mens not fit for
rejection.
17)Intelligent
charioteer rails on which cart wheels run ,leaving teared path ,not
going that and this side even a line, Dilipa’s
citizens(people) without leaving
previous custom, were there.
18)Sunj
absorbing water lterpours it’s thousand
times rain.Like that he collecting a
little revenue (tax) from citizens he was helping in many ways.
19) To him
army is like umbrella (chathra) and chamara(fan) excetras awards were only
instruments(means) and there was nothing
to achieved by him.he to fulfil his intensions
by his special knowlrdge in srciptures ,hede(bow thread,bow string)rised
to bo0w he was using these two only.As he was added with intellect and valience ,other
requirements were not needed to him.
20)like past
birth smells(predispositions,samskaras)
which are known only after giving fruit his saama(samathva,coolness) and
daana(donations) were Were known after
giving their fruit only, and not before.Because he either by his facial expression or by fickleness of mind, his secret mathra plans
he was not informing to othersKarmas done in past life,,their
predispositions(samskaras) leaving in
mind .This is told in yoga scriptures.
21) as he
was doing manthra plannings
secretly and secter shape and intension ,all works of Dilipa were known by fruits only.
21)Dilipa
king had no necessity his body due to
others fear. He was looking it a depending upon
it’s means to dharma(religion.ethics,value). To get diseases cured there was no need of doing dharma to him. He
was performing dharma for sake of dharma
only. He was earning money with over desire. He was earning money for sake
of his and his citizens.He was not
struggling much to get happiness.He was
accepting joy which comes b y itself.
22)Though he
was knowing other’s matter keeping
silent, though there was controlling power
foegiveness (excusing) character,though giving donations not to self appreciate –like this opposites
charecters were in Dilipa. As though
brothers born together.
23)though he
was nothairs whitened old man,by dispassion of sense objects,as he had known
matters(topics) by mind(heart),by
sincerity in dharma he was called great.
24)Correcting
behaviour of citizens(people),to make them to cross ocer from disasters,by
giving food and drinks to bring them forward.As he was doing so,he only was
their true father. Their their own fathers were
were responsible for their
children only.
25)That Dilipa
king in order to keep rules and bindings
to be correct,he was doing. He was married for sake of development of progeny
only,punishment as it is means of money,marriage which is means of kama(lust),
on his part were means. what is the
matter here is,Dhartha,artha(money),kama(lust). .These are thrivargas.Though
these are three different purusharthas ,Dilipa king dharma only as chief,to
that money and lust as secondary he had counted(considered).
26)king was looking
after indra world by yajnas(sacrifices).Indra
also by pouring rain was making crops to on earth.This arrangement
was a kind of giving and taking
arrangement bonly.
27)In his
state theft was not a matter of other’s
money,as it was talk of matter of theft ,remaining kings like him were as thought not able to get fame like him
it was.The meaning hidden in this stanza for theft is always another’s property. But as
Dilipa was protecting property of people well,it was was not possible to steal
by anybody.There fore in his time the word theft itself was stolen.Therefore for his next kings there was no necessity
of stopping theft.Therefore other kings were not able to get fame like
him(Dilipa).Therefore their fame also did not rise like him.Dilipa was
protecting citizens well is the summary..
28)If good
people(sajjanas) ,though they were enemies he was honouring.like medicine to patient.If one
were wicked though he is dear such
people he was keeping away.like a figure bitten by snake.
29)By
uniting all five great elements(pancha maha bhuthas) had created
him.Because his charecters were
like that of five great elements
for help s of others only.
30)For his
capital there was no circumference of forts and dooms.Because he was ruling whole
earth upto sea as one town.
31) to that
king born if Magadha family Sudakshine named wife was there. She suitable to her name,
following other’s mind character
hesitation(dakshinya) was there. To yajnapurusha how Dakshine named wife is famous in yhe same way Dilipa’s wife was also famous.s
32)Though
there were many females in harem(anthahpura)
that king,Sudakshine and lakshmi
by presence of these two only his
wives he was feeling.Except rajalakshmi(state)
to king apar from his two wives there was no love in others.
33)He was
spending time by thinking today or
tomorrow taht he will get chidern in
her. But there was no puthrothasava(son birth) for long time.
34) thinking
to get progeny he should do something he
gave state administration to minister.
35) Later
for son desire both husband and wife worshiping brahma went to guru vasistas ashrama.
36)Melodiously
and loudly making sound one chariot rainy season cloud ,lightning Airavatha
means one cloud rised on another
cloud.This is one openion.Airavatha named Indra’s elephant moves in clouds only it is also called
‘Abhramathanga’Cloud’s elephant).In another meaning vyuthpatthi(origin of word) is told like
this.Here he has compared chariot to
cloud,Sudakshina to lightning, Dilipa to Airavatha alidasa has compared.Airavatha is elephant in
sea.
37)If starts
and goes with big army,thinking there may be disturbance to vasista’s ashrama ,he had brought few
family relatives only. But still if his influence is seen it was appearing there was
army around them.
38)Having
favourable touch, blowing coolly,having fragrance of shala tree rasa Throwing flower dust, making forest
trees to shake, using they went.Here
poet has describes cool air,
flower fragrance,slow air these three
charecters poet has described.
39)peacocks which heard
sound of his cart’s wheel ,illusing
it as thunder lifting neck were putting keke. Their note was hereing
like shadja note(swara) in two kinds beautifully.
Shdja
swara touches six places and takes birth.Therefore it is called
shadja(Shat+ja,taken birth from six places).peacocks sound is like that of shadja,if there is no pure(shuddha) and
vikrutha(changed) are not there, Chyutha and achyutha two kinds.Tjis musians
say.Male and female sound differently.Therefore two kinds of tones.this is
description of poet.
40)leaving
nearer path only, in near only chariot, staring tied chariot only,s in deer’s
pairs seing eyes mutually one another ,looking resemblance went.
Near chariot
path only,male female deers were standing.eyes of female deers are like that of
eyes of Sudakshine thought Dilipa ,thinking like this, ,eyes of male deers are
like that of Dilipa,this sudakshine found.
41)Here and there saarasa named birds singing melodiously, like tied
festoons(thorana) were flying as garland
garland.That couple was seing them
curiously and moving.
42)For
preparation of desire, indicating seingness(noduvike),as air is helpful, due to
dust rised up by horses ,not touching curley hairs sudakshine ,or on turban of Dilipa.This was
because they were moving in same direction like that of air.
43) They
were going by smelling fragrance of
lotuses.It was resembling their breath
which was cool due to b eating of
waves in ponds.
44) they
were seing villages here and there in
which there were upasthambhas donated by
them.There in villages ,Brahmins who had done yajnas(sacrifices) were
doing blessings.
45)Not only
Brahmins but rural cattle watchers were
als haing devotion in king.king according to their eligibility, was looking
with honour.
46)In that
couples who were going to Vasista wearing pure clothes, a kind of brightness,
was shining. After passing of winter
Like chittha star and moon when join,appearing brightness.
47) Dilipa on path showing to sudakshine various kinds
of wonderful things, as they were going ,thet did not know how
their path covered to mind.
48) That
king by evening time with wife reached
ashrama.His horses which had run long were tired.
49)Many
rushies were bringing to ashrama from
different forests, like darbhe,Fruits, in batches batches.Fires were appearing to them, without appearing to
others.
50) In
neevara(navane?) grain accumulated
by ashrama rushies, there was
tradition(custom) of putting little to
deers also, rushie’s wives were had
kept.like children stnding at door,asking mother to give some edibles,,in doors
of ashrama flocks of deers were
standing.
51)To
produce faith to birds which come to
drink water in pit(pathi) that ashrama’s
munies lasses were going away fter pouring water to plants.
52)In yard
of leaf houses, spread neevara(navane) grain,they were gathering into masses in
evening. Deers sleeping by side of those
masses were putting meluku(gnawing,chewing the cud).
53)As air
was carrying away smoke of sacrifice(homa,yajna) material,to those who were
coming towards asrama were knowing that fires are burning well.
54)later he
asked charioteer to give rest to horses.
He made his wife to get down from cart. He also got don.
55)munies
who had won senses to king who has come
with wife to ashrama,who is maintainer
of people(citizens) did hospitality.This king
with new eyes holding path shown by scriptures was worshipable.
56)After
completing rituals of evening, vasista
was sitting peacefully.behind him his wife Arundhathi devi was
also there. King saw vasista maharshi
and did namaskarams. Vasista was like
havirbhuja(fire),
anvasitha(.....?) by svahadevi. King
found vasista like fire with svahadevi.
57)Queen who
is daughter of Magadha king,and king held their
both’s feet .sGuru’s wife,guru honoured both of them with love and
respect.
58)tiredness
happened by shaking of s chariot ,geting solved by b y hospitality muni asked In ashrama called state are all safe.
59)Winning
over town of enemies,high among speakers ,treasure of atharva veda ,in front of
him, added with meaning,words he took.The speciality of this stanza is
In veda told
karmas,in punishment ethicgs, purohitha should be skilled.This is told in
atharva veda.As told in this veda solving defect, and good doing shanthika
poustika(peace and power giving) karmas
he should be able to do(kamandaka ethics scripture) by visheshana (adjective) it is told Atharva nidhehe.Vasista was having
all these charecters and suitability.
60)Divine
disasters,disasters happening bt humans, solvable guru ,when you are there to me all lucks are safe only.
(note;Sapthangas of state are seven.They are
king,minister,friend king,treasury, nation,fort,army.
Five human
disasters are : Disasters happened by officers,thieves,enemis,,those who are
needed by king excetra.
61)How human
disasters are solved by vasista it topic here.Yourself who have found out new
manthras,,by mere recital of manthras only,,as my enemies are getting
destroyed, as though there is nothing to happen by my arrows manthras are there to reject those(arrows).
62) Hey
,homa(sacrifice performer) by me
classically homa material put by you in
fire,s,to drying crops without rains it
is raining.
63)My people
are living prurusha’s full longevity
without fear and obstructions. For tha cause is your ‘brahmavarchassu’( brahma
brightness).
64)You
who have brahma as cause(vasista is
brahma’s manasa(mind) son),,as you are in mt
thought of safety,,my treasure is is increasing continuously,without any
disasters .this is not a wonder.
65) but
without getting in this Sudakshine to me
added with all Islands,though having rathnasful land there is no happiness to mind.
66)As i have no children, there is nobody to do
pindadana to us. Therefore next,in this meals
should retain a little like
this in my fathers ceremony(shraaddha)
will take meals half stomach only.
67)To
fathers(pithrus) giving cool thil water(thilodaka) is also not possible me. Because after him,
to us there is no body to give tharpana .Like this as pithrus leave long
sigh it is getting heated.
68) having
pure mind, as there is no progeny
defect, such myself by doing lokaloka called yajna mind purity and having defect of no progeny ,I am
like chakravala mountain which is having both light and dark.
Inside chakravala named mountain only as there is sun light, that is bright
inside,outside dark is covered.like this
epics have described.
69)penance
and donastion both are cause of
happiness.By penance and donation only other world joy can be got. But children
born in pure family s give happiness in both this and other world.
70) The
plant which you have put water grown , if it becomes barren(sterile) will it not give sorrow to your m ind? In the same way to me
who is your disciple seing progenyless (childlessness) will it not give pain?
71)To
elephant which has not taken bath , how it will
produce sorrow upon pole to which it is tied,in the same way to me
without losing pithru debt(runa)
,by this worry there is unbearable sorrow.
(to be
called bhagavan one should have these
charecters. Animals birth and destruction,happenings, consciousness,forgetfulness
.Vasista was having all these six
charecters.
72)therefore
swamy (sir), you should make me so as to get relieved from this debt.beacause
to kings of Ikshvaky family the works which appear as impossible work siddhies (accomplishments)will be happening by your
power.
73) Rushi
requested by king having fixed eye, for
a moment kept quiet like fishes sleeping in pit.
74))That
rushi only by strength of his meditation
finding out the cause ofg stoping (cessation)of progeny told like this.What has happened in past
,what is running at present everywhere, what will happen in future all these are known.
75)In past
when you had gone to Indra world and returning,on path in shadow of
kalpavriksha kamadhenu was standing.kalpavriksha gives what ever is
imagined,kamadhenu whoich gives what ever is asked like this it is there in epics(puranas).
76) as wigfe
was matured 9ruthu) this queen who had
taken bath fearing to religion, remembering
that defect may happen,s fit for ‘pradakshina ‘in that cow you did not behave properly.
If mangala
materials(dravyas), god,Brahmins are
come across in path,,bt doing pradakshina namaskaras these should be honoured. As Dilipa was in
thoughts he forgot this work.
77)By which
cause you are rejecting me,therefore without serving my calf, to you progeny(samthana)
will not happen,like this kamadhenu cursed.
78) By
noise(upset) of diggajas(direction
elephants) which had come for play in
akasha gange that curse was not heard by
your ears.giggajas means there are eight elephants
standing in eight directions carrying earth.This is given in
epics(puranas).
79) Seing of
kamadhenu with dishonour itself is
obstruction to fulfilment your desire. Because without honouring
worshipables it become obstructive to
shreyas(progress).
80)now in
pathala varuna is doing one
yajna9sacrifice) which will run for long
time. That kamadhenu gas gone to provide needed materials like curd ,ghee,excetras to yaga(sacrifice).
In doors of pathala full serpents have covered ,as they are
guarding, you can’t go inside that. To sacrifice called sacrifice, one year is very less time. There is time
period of upto one thousand years also
they say.
81) Instead
of kamadhenu,it’s daughter Surabhi, with
purity, along with wife serve. If it pleases ,will give what ever you ask.
82) providing sacrifice materials which are
means(tools,instruments) of sacrifice,
nandini named fixed 9definite)cow returned from forest. This is good sign.
83)That
nandini was shining like red bud. On
it’s forehead a little bent one white mark.Therefore it was like evening red added with child
moon(baalachandra).
84) Nandini
with joy of seing it’s calf thick like
kunda( pot..?),from udder downing hot hot foamy milk, allwing drop by drop on ground was
coming. By water of ‘avabhrutha bath’ done after completion of sacrifice(yaga,yajna), that
milk making earth more holy. Kunda named
vessel was broad at upper part gradually on coming down,it will reduce in
width(narrow). This similie is for telling
breast(kecchalu,udders) were big.
85)rised
from hoves of nandini as it fell on body of king Dilipa,who was near
made him holiness of taking thirtha(holy
water) bath.(it shows respect towards cows).
86)On seing
that good(shubha) cow, vasista who was skilled in sign(shakuna) scripture,knowing that desire
of Dilipa will be fulfilled quickly,told to him like this.
87)King
within telling name only,,if nandini’s arrival is seen,s your work will be
fulfilled quickly.This you cam believe.
88) you
eating roots and tubers of forest, present behind
this cow ,as studently continuously studying
as get grace of Knowledge(vidya,education) you also get grace.
89) If
nabdini goes to wander you also go behind. If stops on path you also stop, If
it sits you also sit. If it drinks wter you also drink remaining water. Like
this you follow (cobehave)it.
90)your wife
sudakshine daily morning in madi(purity)s wotrshiping cow, up to border of
ashrama you should be going behind it. In evening you should welcome it(face it) and bring.
91) Till
that Nandini blesses (graces) you, without leaving serve it. Let your work
fulfil without obstruction. Like your
father, along with children you also be a leader.
92)at the
time when Agnihothra was completed to
vasista who was sitting near fire only, as future knowledge produced it will happen.This Dilipa was knowing with
joy doing namaskarams with his wife to them(vasista) told as per your order,let it happen.
93) Later at
the bigining of n ight scholar who is having which is true and lovable, brahma’s son, sent lord to
sleep who was having great wealth.
94)Fit for
king edibles,sleeping room, bed excetra though he was able to create by strength of
penance, though vasista was having,,vasista who was knowing method of vow(vratha),thinking lhat let
king indulge in vow from then
only, gave things which are available in forest only gave to Dilipa.
95) Dilipa
was sleeping with wife as per rules . on darbhe bed in leaf hut
shown by vasista. Due to noise done by
desciples of vasista due ti indulgence in veda studies(veda recitals) he came
to know that is morning and awakened.

SARGA 2:
1)
Guru
vasista regarding sudakshine and Dilipa asked to do service of Nandini. Therefore in
morning after sudakshine worshiping b
y sandal and flowers,Nandini’s calh after feeding on mother’s breast, tieng
calf Dilipa went near vasista muni. And allowd homadhenu Nandini allowd to graze in forest.Dilipa’s wife
sudakshine is not ordinary woman. She is first among pathivrathas(chaste woman),prominent,
From holy dust rising from keeping hoves
coming path only Sudakshine followd.
Following in this way, poet tells as
smruthi follows shruthi, by this similie(upame) it is compared.
2)
King
followd Surabhi as representative of
Kamadhenu, Surabhi means fragrance. This word is used as equal to word fragrance Surabhi means shresta(high) also.
3)
Kindful,decorated
by fame, king Dilipa sending beloved
wife Sudakshine,by her milk all four
seas rejecting Surabhi’s daughter Nandini, , wearing four seas in form of four
udders (kecchalu) protected equal to
earth.
4)For sake
of vow sent remaining workers to follow
Nandini. For protection of king’s body, there was no need of others.Because
progeny of manu protects himself by himself.
5)Dilipa
pulling out tasty grass with fist, giving to cow, contineouslly stroking
it’s body,by chasing away flies sitting on it, nandini freely without without any obstructions, looking after was
doing it’s service.
6)As per
order of Vasista, Dilipa king was
following Nandini like shadow was serving. It’s method is told here. If nandini
was standing Dilipa was also standing .If nandini was walking Dilipa was
also walking. If it was drinking water Dilipa was also used
to drink water. Like this Dilipa was following Nandini like shadow,he was staying with Nandini
and was following it.
7)As Dilipa
king is doing service of nandini kamadhenu now he(empror) has lrft chathra9umdrella) and chamara(fan) signs(marks) excetra . Though he is appearing
like a very ordinary man,if king is seen from outside, In his face there was charm of king’s face.
Though outside madarasa(pridejuice,intoxication juice) was not seen inside he was looking like an elephant having madarasa(pride water).
8) Spread by
head hairs tieing knot king Dilipa wore bow which was there only.To protect cow
of Vasista from from wild animals to kill them started to walk in forest.how
this is means incause of protecting sadhu(mild) animal to control wild (forest) wicked animals he was wandering in forest with bors and
arrows.while king was there in forest like this, there was shortage hunting to
wild animals.this appeared rather than protecting cow it was chiefly as though taming
cruel animals.
9) Dilipa
emperor sent all his servents who were guarding him,,was following cow(dhenu)
alone.s What if there are no body guards around him? King Dilipa was thinking
varuna as equal to god.
As varuna is
lord to water , he is lord of trees and birds also.As king is called
varuna here, trees and birds near by were
singing (announcing) arrival of king.
10) while Dilipa
was coming on path in forest
by side of path there were creepers. Due to walk of Dilipa creepers were touching and were throwing flowers on him. There wind
was cause.when Dilipa came out of city, then girls in town,tender creepers pushed by air, like fire near only, fit for
honour, Dilipa by flowers city
lasses by traditional corns(aralu), threw flowers on Dilipa. This
is atradition.To Dilipa in forest also royal treatment was available.
11)King was
holding bow and coming. Female deers walking there, on seing king without
running away, were staring at him only. As there was hope that there will be no danger from king
they did not run away. They were seing his beautiful b ody for long time as long as they wanted. Due
kindful face of king though he was holding bow ,those thought there will be no
difficulty from him.this is the feeling.
12)In
citeies now and then by poets or king’s servents (vandi magadhas) , there will
be singing of fame of kings. In forest forest gods(vanadevathas) are singing
about fame of king continuously. In this type of forest gods office performance(music kachei)
there was no deficiency of any kind of
side musical instruments.In music kacheri(stage performance) flute is played. Here melodious sound
produced by bamboos and air was like flute play. Five gods were playing side instruments to music as though.
13)Dilipa
king due to vratha (vbow) did not bring
umbrella excetra tools. Therefore
getting tired by severe sun light of
sun is doing sound ‘him’. Present there only rivers flowing in between hills trees fragranceful flowers due to wind falling ,river water while falling as drizlings(droplets by
droplets) ,filling fragrance of those flowers, were throwing on body of king coolly.
14) protecter
king after ebtering forest, forest fire,
without rain fall was cool. There was soecial
development in development of
fruits and flowers. Among cows strong cows were not attacking on weak cows. If there was less fodder strong cows were fighting with weak cows and they were eating.sBut as there was ple
nty of fodder (cattle food) cows were not fighting each other.
15) both
sun’s and cow’s both’s colours are red only. Sun and cow
where ever they go they will have power
to purify that place. Both of them purify the place where they go appear as red. When this red sun sets
like coming red colour.
16) King Dilipa
following that nandini, was going behind
it only. That Nandini was helpful to
hospitality process of gods,fathers(pithrus), and guests. By that
king who was santha and sadhu nandini was shining. Like sincerity added
with proper rule(vidhi).
17)It is
evening. Swimming since morning in that pond those male forest pigs, are going towards their
their residences.Deers and peacocks in
their living areas searching for place
where better grass is grown.wild pig,deers,peacocks, forest added with
these is appearing as though turning to black colour . including evening dark forest has turned to black colour.
18 ) 1)without
bearing of weight of Nandini which has
only one calf ,2) king without
bearing heaviness of chest , both nandini and king both of them walked towards ashrama with celebration.‘GUSTI” means a cow
with only one calf.
19)
Sudakshine was waiting in front of outer
part of penance garden(thapovana).She was to meet both king and and Nandini.She had to woeship Nandini there.
Cow is about to return from forest(evening time). Sudakshine has not left her
husband for long time on any day. After
seing him one day(12 hours) is completed. Sudakshine drank with her eyes on
seing king healthy. How she saw was ,as fasting people at the
end of fasting drink water forcefully.Her hungry eyes she filled by
seing her husband forcefully.‘vanitha’
means onewho loves her husband too much.
20)Both cow
and king who was following it ,in
outside of ashrama standing in on path in which they come, wife Sudakshine was welcmsing king to come near her. Cow
which was appearing in between kind and
sudakshine appeared light in between day
and night.
21)
Sudakshine pure and freely milk giving
that nandini cow ,doing
pradakshine namaskara ,with manthratha
filled vessel in her hand , worshiped
vast forehead in between two horns. This vast
forehead of cow is door of
fulfilling desires of Sudakshine.In this worship sudakshine was standing on right side of nandini.
22)Nandini
cow has not seen it’s calf since
morning. It with anxiety and hurry of seing ,with much control accepting worship done by queen joyfully. It has produced same joy and celebration to devotee who worshiped. To those who
worship with devotion, ia an indication of it’s fruit experience in future.s
23) king and
queen became very happy on seing
acceptance of nandini with joy ,became very happy.king Dilipa falling to
feet of Vasista maharshi completed
his daily rituals of Sandhyavandane
and other rituals of karma. Here as though worship of nandini itself as
evening sandhyavandane.
In once upon
a time facing enemies alone by hands which he punished
now he is doing service nandini
cow. It shows Dilipa’s simplicity and
religiousness.
24)
Worshiping Nandini at night also,,after it slept king was going to sleep. He was rising before
awakening of nandini cow. To know whether Nandini isakened or not, to see
it a lamp was kept enlighted in cattle
house(kottige).
25) To
uplift deeanas(poor,humble) and dalithas(downtrodden) , always anxious great fameful

40)Dilipa
was not knowing what to do.Stood like that only. Then lion told: King to you
mere waste labour. You return to Ashrama. Don’t doubt that I will destroy
treasure of your guru. What is to be protected
by your weapons if you can’t protect
success of weapon wearers will
not come down. Nobody will blame weapon wearers success also. You have already
expressed your devotion which you have
kept in guru. There even guru will also
not doubt you. Therefore you return to Ashrama lion told like this.
41) Lion has
told with direct words
with open mind. To incidences which are happening to king
Shiva is cause. Now As shiva himself is opposition party I shoud not give any obstruction(opposition).
There for getting defeated from shiva no any kind of sorrow.No ego also.
42)King as
answer to words of lion taking out one arrow withoutable to shoot, first he has to taste
of failure. Same kind of situation happened
to Indra also. While in situation
when Indra had to use vajrayudha
on Eshwara when eshwara opened
his third forehead eye Even indra
also became paralysed like Dilipa.
43)My arms
have become useless(fruitless). As they are paralysed he is not able to use. But still i want to
tell you few words. My words which i tell you may make you to laugh. You know
all.But still I have to tell you words.
44) Shiva
who does creation,maintainance,and
destruction of tree, mountain excetra non moving ,humans excetra jangamas (moving things) to me
worshipable. In front of eye of guru who
is agnihothri(fire worshiper) losing
cow form treasure is not suitable for negligence.
45) By Feared
peaceful eyes looking at you only by eating this cow, if you fulfil your hunger,tender
calf of that cow is waiting for it’s mother with anxiety in ashrama. To it mother’s milk only is support. Therefore
you leave this cow. You eat me only and fulfil your hunger. Like this Dilipa
told to lion. You fulfil your hunger by my body.leave nandini.
46) When Dilipa
told that he will give his prana and
protect cow ,on listening his words lion
laughed. When it laughs then fron it’s
canine(kore) teeth brightness of light
spreads. That brightness was felt as
though cutting dark of cave of hill
into pieces pieces. Then lion laughed slightly and told to king.
47) King you
appear dullard in doing enquiry. You are
unable to do enquiry. You are having lordship and emperorship of world. You have beautiful body. You have new
youth. For a small reason to protect a cow it is not proper to for a king to ready to leave all. Renunciation
should be done right. But loss due to
renunciation should be done with vision
of fruit of profit got by that.
48) hey king,
if you do to show bhutha daye(kindness in animals) if you try to protect cow then that trial is logicless(yukthihina). If you protect cow
by giving up yourself only
then after your death this one
cow lives with safety.
49)Lion
teels If this nandini dies by becoming
food to me,if you fear to anger of vasista
who is agnihothri (agni worshipper) who has only one cow ,instead of
that one cow , by giving crores of cows
to vasista his anger can be
cooled.s therefoe king need not think more about this matter.
50) Lion
tells: A king should protect himself. It is his duty. If he lives he can
do service of guru and can to protection
of people. If cow is not protected there
may be obstruction to go to heaven.s king who is powerful in earth can experienxe all heavenly joys here only.
He is praised as Indra of eart world. More than this nothing more can be got?
If life of nandini is not saved
punishment is only after death.
51)Animal
king Lion though stopped to talk ,All
it’s talks were echoing from inside
cave,it is felt as though lion is talking to king again again. Even hills are
working properly .In this meaning that
the king should not think that previour ware not hear by the king.For this
sake there was repeated echo.
52)King
heard talks of lion.s Then due to attak of lion cow was addred fear.It saw
Dilipa with humbleness. Then became more kindful. Now he talked to lion
once bagain.
53) Kshathra
means one who protects other from danger.Such a person is called
kshathriya. When a man is in danger, if he does not help him such character is opposite bto word kshathriya. By such person
what is use to state?
54) Nandini
cow is holu Surabhi’s daughter. To such
a special cow , what ever compensatition (solution)is given it is not equal to
Nadini. Therefore muni vasista will not excuse king in anyway. In ordinary situation told cow of vasista it is not possible by
anybody. Here lion is Rudra’s servent. His power is not individual. It is
Rudras power. Mahadeva himself is Rudra
who bis chief of Rudras. In rudra leven rudras are described separately.
Lion has hels cow by power of Rudra. This is not power of lion.
55)heylion!
I will dedicate my body to you. You accept me as food.s Leave this dhenu. By
doing like this you will get food.Nandini
which is means(tool) of homa(sacrifice) is also protected. Now accept me and leave cow. Like
this Dilipa told to lion.
56) you are
also under other’s control. You also know it very well. The burden of
protection of that Devadaru ntree is on
your shoulder. But you have to give answer to
your lord always. If by your negligence if devadaru tree is destroyed,
you are responsible for that. You are also a servent. If you go and tell lord and tell sthat free is destroyed s hoe it is
possible to tell.It had to protect devadaru tree. Lords order should be followd
even by pledging prana.
57)by any
reason if tou think i am not
eligible for dieing,ypu please
protect my fame body(success body,yashas sharira). My body is made up of panchabhuthas(five
elements) and will becomes panchabhuthas
again after death. It becomes soi in soil. On this physical body i have not
even a thil of desire.
58) king and
lion’s friendship has happened in
forest. Hey disciple of Bhuthanatha(shiva) it is not suitable to reject my request.King is vrequesting
lion. For a good friendship to happen
much time s not needed. From a momentary talk also strong friendship can occur.It is not
difficulty. Both shpuld make mind. Shiva is friend of all and protecter also. Shiva’s servent should be like this only. Therefore
lion should protect king’s success body(yashas sharira) To inform that love is
like request.s
59) On
listening to words of Dilipa lion
accepted to that. Immediately binded
tied bondage of Dilipa was
released. Dilipa keeping weapons down by himself dedicated his bent body to lion. At the time of dedication gave
his body as though flesh ball(mamsa panda).
60) king Dilipa who was expecting attack of lion, by bending head was dedicating to death. Then on his head by hand of
vidyadhara flower rain occurred.
61)’Hey son
rise up’ like this hearing amruthamaya words of
nandini which came from mouth of nandini,,rising up vsaw nandini which was pouring milk like his
won mother.s The lion which was there till now was not seen.Nandini knew king king as her son only.
62)
Wonderfully nandini cow is talking!Sadhu! you were examined by me. By grace of
my guru,I created maya with exrardinary
power, have created this situation. It is not possible eben by death to hit
me.s What is great in this.What is great in these destroying powers union. Creating maya in advaitha principle brahma only is true ,all remaining is false.
63) Dilipa’s
guru devotion towards vasista was uncomparable. In the same way in matter of cow his kindness also ,like this nandini told both words. Don’t have what this nandini will
give boon. How I am milk giver ,in the same way I can give boon what you ask. I am kamadhenu.
Ask what is wanted.
64)As king
and emperor having many awards ,having many samamthas,,as empire establlisher
also, having unbound valience, Dilipa king s joining hands in front of nandini
with devotion,in his wife Sudakshine let
male child happen to me,like this is praying with politeness.s
65) Emperor Dilipa
for progeny prayed Nandini. Satisfied
nandini gave boon ‘let it happen so only’. Secreting it’s milk filling
up in leaf vessel(donne) drink.like this told to king.
66)Hey
mother , after your calf drinks your milk,what is remaining
,later what remains in that giving to homa(sacrifice) kriyas ,what is
remaining getting order of guru vasista, I will drink.That means the earth which I am protecting one by sixth part is it’s meaning.
67) In this
way by prayer of king Dilipa Vasista’s cow
nandini felt very pleasant. And
with kinf without any efforts fro cave
of himalaya went to ashrama.
68)
Emperors face was having happiness and bright like full moon day moon. What had
happened king has not told to
Sudakshine. But still she guessed what
has happened by blossomed lotus face. Dilipa
might have told all what has
happened in loneliness. Dilipa has not
talked anything with Sudakshine when met at the tip of forest. Because where they met there was cow also ,in front
of it they did not talk.
69) On
another day in vasista’s ashrama homa
havanas(sacrifices ) had finished. Calf also had drunk it’s mother’s milk.
After completion of sacrifices(homa
havanas), as per order of vasista Dilipa drank
remaining milk. That milk was clean white. That milk reached stomach of Dilipa.
The milk which reached stomach like that poet describes as “fame only reached body of king’’.
70) now a
situation has come in which feelings
have to be kept under control.Thaough vasista
attracted by charecters of Dilipa
and his wife, was sorrowing how tosend them to their capital
. But gave permission to go to capital. Vasista sebt them off after
doing essential rituals(formalities) with blessings.
71) king
first first doing pradakshinas to agnideva(fire
god) ,after doing pradakshina namaskaras to high muni vasista (vasista is one
among saptharshies(seven rushies)). Later doing pradakshina namaskarams to nandini(surabhi’s daughter), and to it’s calf
also- As fire burning in homa is agnimukha(Agni’s face) the offering agni(fire)
gives to corresponding gods in yajna inthe form of havis, makes fruit to
reach doer(Karthru). Thereforeni is important. Therefore he did namaskarams to
agni9fire) also.
72)King
along with his wife is moving In chyariot with joy. Though forest path
chariot is not shaking much. As desires of king and queen were fulfilled
their mind was also added with
joy. Because time of fulfilment of
desire(manoratha). King is not moving in his won chariot. He is moving mind
desire.
As kind
had left for more than three weeks and
come ,when he returned his asthanikas,citizens,as they had not seen king
,again again seing king as much desired as possible, were happy. For people
sake only to get a son I had to these.
If king has no sons family will not grow.
If there are no kings of Raghuvamsha citizens will become orphans without king.
King is compared to full moon of full
moon day(hunnime). Later in fifteen days moon
in Krishna fortnight(paksha) losing his brightness till amavasye(new
moon day) on day of amavasye(new moon day)moon is not at all seen. Again
becoming bright for fifteen days , will become full bright.
74) King is
shining brightly like moon. To king for
wecome banners are tied up. Now again king has
put earth weight on his shoulder. How it was means king of serpent Adishesha .This similie is
given. Administration of kingship king
has rised to his shoulder again.
75)afterwards ,ike moon though sky, through ganga like thejas of shiva queen Sudakshine ,for development of Raghuvamsha with brightness(thejas) of world
protecter became pregnant.

SARGA 3:
1)pleasant
to eyes of sakhies(friends) for progeny
of Ikshwaku family as cause queen had got all features of pregnancy.
2)
In
first stage of pregnancy of Sudakshine her body had shrunken(dried up).Because of
bthis reason having worn few ornaments
only,,like dried up flower, faced Sudakshine , like few stars appearing in sky here and there
were sparse. As there were few stars only sky was dark. Moon was also
brightless. Most part of the night was
abourt to complete and morning
was nearing.To pregnant two hearts.one of mother and another of embryo.
3)
Earth
lord king Dilipa by eating
of red soil by his wife Sudakshine coming fragrance while smelling in loneliness also was not satisfied. Usually on completion of
summer ,by first rain on coming to
earth a kinf of fragnce is brought.
Pregnant women will have various kinds of
desires.s among them to eat red soil is also one desire. Therefore because of this desire fragrance was coming from mouth of
Sudakshine.here fragrance seing king is compared with elephant which smells
fragrance of wet land due to
first rain. King is compared to elephant, and
face of sudakshine to to forest(vanaraji.....?).
4)That
Sudakshine’s son will enjoy in earth
like heaven through Indra. For that reason
as said above,in that way,leaving other tastes, Sudakshine found joy in
eating red soil. Here if Sudakshine’s son
if he rises chariot, after long time will stop chariot there. He likes this kind of chariot journey also. In the same way eating
of red soil by sudakshine is also
compared. If all these pre indications are noted,if noted child by occupying from one part to whole earth ,without standing behind, will
celebrate victory celebration.This we
can guess.
5)Queen with shyness ,told that she has no other desire and style of chariot running by son is told. To
run long distance in chariot is his desire. In this way till reaching goal,
bwithout stopping chariot, to go for long distance,as’ growing crop is in bud
only’, in future my son will win over
all kings and rules the world. Except
this desire in mind,she did not have any other desire in mind.
6)To pregnant women various kinds of desires will
be present. Sudakshine was fulfilling all her desires through king Dilipa. It was possible for King Dilipa to go
and bring even from heaven to fulfil desires of Sudakshine. This kind of
desires will start from 4th
after pregnancy.
7) As
Sudakshine’s pregnancy went on growing,
her beauty became doubled. Here poet describes that her was like a creeper
withering old leaves and in it’s place
new buded leaves have come.
8) As days
passed, her both breasts, expanding in size, have grown as though pushing
forward. Around breat nipples added is
black colour. Poet describes such beauty
of two breasts to completely
grown, lotus buds and nipples on them,,on that lotus bud bees are taking rest as though. This is third stage of pregnabt
woman.
9)king Dilipa
pregnant Sudfakshine”equal to earth utrus(earth womb,bhugarbha) whichs rathna, equal to shami tree which keeps
fire, to saraswathi river which keeps
inner water(antharjala),”thought like this. These three similies indicate groth of powerful,bright, and pure
child.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,10)
That king according to love and mental
courtesy on wife,,to nook and corner
which he had earned by his own arm
strength,,accrding to wealth excetra
pumsavana excetra works did classically
wich much joy and celebration. King Dilipa was loving his wife very
much.He had vast heart. As he was freeminded
and emperor he was able to give costly much valuble gift.More he was enthusiastic.As
all these were there celebration took place in a grand manner.
11) When
king visited harem(anthahpura) , pregnant who was wearing part of
pushpalokapala(flower world maintainer), moving with difficulty from her place,
she herself came to place where there was king ,joined hands and welcomed.
12)Later
faithful,skilled, child treatment doctors ,informing future
health of child ,and told that child is growing well. King Dilipa became
very happy.As days of delivary was approaching , all were waiting for that
moment only. Poet has described that
after completion of summer,clouds gathering in sky,poured rain.
13)
Sudakshine at proper time gave birth to
a male child like shachidevi(Indra’s
wife).Horoscope of child was of high level.As though his luck ,plantes
sun,soma(moon),mangala(mars),brihaspathi(guru), shukra(venus),shani(Saturn) were very high..To child there was
shreyas(development),treasure, state post
these were high. The child having this planet union will get high post in future. To this child 1) joy
2) success in all works will happen 3) king post 4)throne,5)holiness,divine
form all will go on rising. All these five planets will appear in horoscope of incarnated
persons(avathara purushas)
14) At that
time all directions became clean. Joyful air started to blow. Agni(fire)
burning brightly on right side , accepted havis(offerings). If any
yaga(sacrifice) is done ,the havis given to that god should be given through fire only. The fruit given by that
god has to reach master(yajamana)
through fire only. Here as the fire is bright it indicates good. As the child is born for world
upliftment and world welfare all
have become mangalakara(good).
15)Lamp
enlighted and kept in labour room, enlighting brightful world only, by birth of child lost it’s
brightness.Light of new born child like
picture picturised by artist(chithrakara),was appearing as though to enlighten
full room.This is indication there is birth of great man(purusha) has happened.
16)News of
birth of child maid servents informed
to all people who were ther in amrutha
words. All charms were there in child. King did not gice chathra(umbrellas) and
chamaras(fans) to hands of maid servents.The word ‘purna pathra’ means on knowing news of child birth king gave good
gifts to maidservents.
17)King by
seing face of his beautiful child ,without
blinking eye lid, seing continuously, was drinking beauty of child. How it
means is lotus in empty spce without
tasting it’s beauty by itself gave it to
king. Similie of Kalidasa for it is, like an ocean boiling
on seing full moon day moon.That
means by bbrightness of moon, rise and down of ocean occurs.
18)vasista
who is guru of Dilipa,, by knowing by his divine knowledge only,,in order to
perform jathakarma excetras of child
came. After jathakarmas exctras child’s
description is done like this.’ Like a diamond removed fron diamond mine ,after
making it to shine, appearing diamond crystal.Jathakarma is a ritual
(karma) done
before cutting of umbilicus card of the
child.
19) good
instrumental sounds in joyful
environment , combines with dance. This celebration of joy went on rising. This was not only on earth
and and Dilipa’s queen Sudakshine’s ,who
is queen of Magadha state but in divine
world also, there such celedration had
appeared. There also with mangalakara instruments divine damsels(apsaras) were dancing. Gods
were sounding drums(dundhubhies).
20)In state
of Dilipa there were few prisoners(khaidies) in jail. Due to joy of
birth of child Dilipa released all
prisoners in jail. Dilips who had no children so far was in father’s(pithru runa) debt only. As
now the son is born he is released from father’s debt(pithru runa).
21) This
child will become scholar in all scriptures and he will hit enemies in war,on
knowing this, he has kept name of Raghu to child. ‘Raghu’ means one who is always in movement.
22) due to
trial of lucky father, child was growing day by day with beautiful organs,due to entry of Sun
rays, like moon . the colour of horses tied to
Sun’s chariot is green. To moon entry of sun rays has happened. Moon is
enlighting vrom sunrays of moon.he has no light of his own.
23)1)uma and shiva bwith karthikeya (skanda)2)Shachi
and Indra with jayantha,3)king,queen,prince-Dilipa,sudakshine,Raghu In these
three pairs with their children,as they
are equal to their fathers ,like this kalidasa describes.
24) Love
of king and queen like chakravaka pair,,keeping their hearts
in only one son Raghu by his birth their love increased still
further.
25) Child
first of all spoke wirds told by maid servent. It started to walk by holding
fingures of servent. When told to do
namaskarams it did namaskaras. All these
produced happiness to Dilipa.
26) when
father put (laid down)his child on thigh from body of that child, amrutha was
sprinking. Father is getting excited by his touch. This kind of touch joy he has awaited
since many days and now he is getting.
27)
sathva-charecter in god(good) ,raja-charecter in humans, thama-charecter in
demons .According to sankhyas in all
creations these three charecters are present.Brahma,Vishnu. Shiva- all these
three create,maintain, and destroy the world. These charecters represent sathva,raja,thama respectively.
28)Dilipa
performed chudakarma(chandike,choula) of
child. For that program children of minister
had come(Raghu’s friend). With them only had arranged program of ‘Aksharabhyasa’ (letter practice).
Here he has explained importance of
letter practice. For any education
letter practice is a must. When done so like river joining sea,this similie(upamana) is
given.
29) To Raghu
upanayana(thread ceremony) was done chassically. He was disciple liked by his
teacher very much. Vasista had taught all educations to him. Here their labour was
not without fruit. Proper indications
given to proper students will give give fruit surely.
In
upanayans there will be teaching of
Gayathri manthra by father to vatu(son)
along with wearing of sacred thread.from
that day onwards vatu will become fit for study of veda scriptures.
This is usually done at the age of 8 years in Brahmins and at the age of
11 in kshathriyas.Lsater he will be sent
for vedic studies as
brahmachai(celibant) near guru.
30)Here Raghu
is compared to Sun. To all four directions
all four traditional rays ,his charecters in compared with sun’s very speedily moving horses. His learning
ability is compared to ocean. It is said Sun is lord of four directions.
31) Raghu wearing krishnajina of deer from father learnt manthras and asthras(arrows,weapons). Father Dilipa
was not only a good king but also good
bow wearer. Shasthra means
weapon.asthra means weapons added
with manthra.
32) How a calf grows big ox,how a
child elehant grows into big elephant king ,in the same way,in the same
way Raghu’s childhood completed .Added With
valience growing completely was shining with seriousness and beauty. Mahoksha means grown up and stood
bull(basava).Raghu is noe keeping step
into youth.
33) After
cutting head hairs, father gives right of getting married to son. Tjhis only is
called ‘godana’. Prncess finds in him a good husband. Like daksha’s daughter in
moon.’godana /means usually to give cow donation. But here above special
meaning is told.
In
kshathriya’sat the age of 22 before
marriage godana is done. Thjis odana o keshavapana this is different from choula. At the time of
godana mustache is removed. In such circumstances godana is given to Brahmins.
34) Raghu
was having long negilu (plough) like arms was haing powerful shoulders,broad
and complete opening and closing door
like chest .long nech.He was exceeding his father in all these in body.
But still as humble statue, without any
pride,having thoughts of mind, was appearing as
younger.
35) King Dilipa
thought to his son by doing throne ceremone(pattabhisheka), he will also
get rest which was not there since long days. By doing like this, Raghu by his
intellect and also by training got by Dilipa
, will be helpful to his father in all divisions of
administrations. N pattabhisheka making
prince to sit on holy throne,,on him by water of many holy
rivers,,giving mangala bath,,by classical methods(rituals), costly valueble
gifts are given to to Raghu.
36)Attention
of citizens more and more upon young Raghu, moving aside old father Dilipa he himself was giving much attention to state administration. Even rajalakshmi was
giving more encouragement to young Raghu.’kamal’
means fragrance. Tender is related between Raghu and Dilipa. Vharecter is sign of development.
37)making
air as charioteer fire convcealing cloud Sun, king could not tolerate explosion of head of intoxicated elephant.
Heat of October month is added with fire and air
is very dangerous. To explain this, how an an intoxicated elephant is
dangerous, in the same way, growing Raghu
not able to keep quiet, is helping his father.
38-39)After
doing paatabhisheka (throne ceremony) of prince, Dilipa decided to do
Ashwamedha yaga. If hundred ashwamedhas are done one will get Devendra post. Devendra alone
makes hundred sacrifices and becomes
called shathakrathu.s He had also obstructed to
not to do Ashwamedha
sacrifice by others. Now Dilipa without any obstruction had completed 99 ashwamedhas. Now he sent horse
for hundredth’s Ashwamedhayaga. For
guarding of horse Raghu went. Even
experienced bow men were also there for
it’s protection. Devendra as maya bodied (with maya body), came and stole horse of Ashwamedha. Valients and those who does not accept emperorship
of Dilipa had to tie the horse. And had to win those who perform yaga by doing war.s Raghu’s army
wondered without seing horse. He was not
knowing what to do next.s
40)
when Horse had disappeared at that time Raghu and his followers got upset appeared there. without knowing what to do,at
that time sacrifice cow of Vasista appeared there. By it’s grace in east
direction Indra appeared.
41)Pouring
from body of nandini holy urine(ganjala)
taking in hand ,pressing to eye, drinks few drops. As a result of drinking holy ganjala(urine)
Of lucky substances will start appearing. Tjis is
greatness of ganjula (holy urine of cow). By this greatness only,even now
also in hindus house gangula given for drinking to diseased
people. For atonement(prayaschittha) of sin, in preparation of panchagavya cow dung and ganjula are very effective.
42)To east
direction Indradhipathi(indra lord). There Indra was carrying away horse towards his east direction. Horse
was going by itself and was opposing pulling of Indra.To chariot of Indra it was tied by rope.Due this there was difficulty in control of sacrifice horse. In once upon a time there were wings to
hills(mountains). Gradually hills mis
using them used to move from place to place disturbing peace of people.
In past demon Hiranyaksha had
given wings to them. Indra cut their wings by his vajrayudha. Son of Himalaya
mountain ‘minaka’hill drpwning in sea missed away from Indra. Indra cut all wings
of other hills(mountaims).Tjhis topc is dealt in rugveda also.
43) Gods
have no eye brows. To them only lidless
eyes are there. Raghu on seing Indra recognised Indra as god. Raghu on shouting
loudly in high voice to be heard even by
sky Indra suddenly turned and saw towards Raghu by stoping chariot.According to
epics as indra united with ahalya by
cheating Rushi gouthama had given cirse
to indra to get thousand eyes all over
body.
44)Indra,it
is told b y munies you are the first
among those who protect havis(offerings
to god) are given.s But what what are you doing? Leaving
protection of havis given by homa (sacrifice) performers you are sacking(disturbing) my father’s right of yaga why?my father has got right of doing
yagas(homas,sacrifices) by doing yagas
always.
45) Yiu who
are having three world leader(lord) and divine vision should punish enemies who are disturbing
yagas. But you are behaving opposite to right of havis givers.
46)O
Devendra chief renunciation horse of this yaga if you release it will be
good. Big people do big works only. Follow words as told in Vedas. Vedas will
never teach sinful paths. In this Ashwamedha
yaga main sacrifice is this horse. On shoulder of big people there will
be big responsibility. It is their responsibility to
manage that duty. They should show good path to others.s They themselves
should not tread path of sin.Because common people follow them with their eyes closed.
47) To Raghu
who told loudly with boldness king of gods ,heaven dweller Indra
wonderfully turning chariot backside
gives consolating repley like this.“nobody who is living has not given answer like near me with
boldness.Like this console to his opposite
person’s question -gave suitable repley.
That is one to push away another’s argument.
48)
Indra inj the way so as to be liked by
kshathriyas is giving answer.Kshathriyas desire success in a higher way. By defeating shathakrathu Indra Dilipa
is trying to become shathakrathu.Some how winning over Dilipa he is trying Dilipa to defeat.This is justified to him(as
per justice he is right).
49)How
Vishnu only as purushotthama ,apart from
mukkanna(three eyed) no other is called as Eshwara . liked thar rushies
consider themselves as ‘shathakrathu’ only.this my shathakrathu greatness should not be got by others. It is
applicable to me only.
50) As I had
held kapila’s horse ,your father’s horse I have held. In this matter your trial
is enough. How sagara’s sons got destroyed by me in the same way if you interfere in middle
you will get destroyed.
51)
protecter of horse Raghu who is
fearless with laugh told to indra”if
your decision is that only take your
weapon.without making me to defeat your
desire will not be fulfilled.
52) Raghu
lifting his face up looking towards
Indra investing (keeping ) his arrow
to bow stood
in special position . He appeared like Eshwara in posture and body structure beautifully.
53)To avoid
Raghu’s arrows to Indra who tried there
was wound to heart of Indra.s
Getting angry by this, Indra invested an
arrow which will never fail to his bow.
It made a mark in new cloud like lightning.
54) on
shooting an arrow which was intended to
absorb blood of demons Indra used on
raghu.It pierced entered his broad chest started to suck (absorb) his blood
with curiosity.s But Indra had never used this arrow on humans.So it had no chance of drinking
blood of humans. As it was first time for that arrow there was curiosity about human blood .
55) Valience
of prince Raghu was like karthikeya of Kumara sambhava. Raghu
wrote his name on one rarow and shooted to arm of Indra.Indra sitting on
airavatha while doing war on enemies, to
encourage elephant wat hiting to
elephant with both hands. Due to these processes his hand fingures had become rough. Due to this arrow as there was wound on chest of indra ,when he embraced shachidevi
due to blood of that wound on the
body of shachidevi a beautiful was
formed.
56)Raghu on
shooting peacock tied arrow to wheel of
Indra’s chariot flag flag became cut. Then sound of thunder and
thunderbolt was produced. In colu;d not tolerate this. Cutting of flag was like cutting hairs of head hairs of gods with compulsion.poet
describes like this.
57) I should
win.myself should win. Due to this stubbornness are waring Raghu and Indra. In warfield soldiers in
army of Raghu on and siddhas on Indra’s side without doing war was observing fight of indra and Raghu with
much attention. Indra and raghu’s
arrows like garuda(eagle)
and snake have strated
to hit above and below.
58)Indra was
not able to tolerate arrows from
Raghu which were coming speedily without
gap.here indra is compared with cloud and Raghu for lightning ,arrows for rain fall .indra was not able to tolerate arrows from Raghu. Indra was not
able to win over Raghu who was his
fraction(part,amsha) only. Here water was not able to put off fire.this
should be observed.
59) Raghu
shooted an arrow with half moon
mark at the tip. It cut rope of Indra’s bow. Rope of arrow added with sound of churning of sea produced echo
hit vstronly to Indra’s hand wrist.Harichandana is one of
trees of heaven.
60) s Indra
was in despair as his bow rope was cut. He became more jealoust about Raghu.
Throwing away bow, he lifted a weapon which
is used to kill great valients.s This weapon was vajrayudha which was used to cut wings of hill . It was having brightness of light
which was behing head of great people.
61)On chest of Raghu hits of Vajrayudha happened. Raghu fell on ground. Then his
soldiers shed tears. Within closing
opening eyes, he recovered and sat up
soldiers felt very happy.
62) on seing
much Indra (who killed vrutthra)and for long time standing opposite, giving
suitable value to weapons, shined his valience. All of them praised Raghu.
Great valient Indra also praised Raghu.
63) Apart
from you nobody nobody tolerated my vajrayudha. Even hills also cou;ld not
tolerate power in weapon. I like your
power very much. Apart from horse what other you desire from me like this indra sasked directly. That means though
Indra praised Raghu how ever much by giving horse he was not willing Raghu becoming shathakrathu.
64)
emperor’s son Raghu removing out golden
arrow from arrow box(batthalike)
half whe he was about to use upon indra ,indra’s words ,without
tremoving arrow fully from
batthalike(arrow box)s,stroking golen feathers of arrow to indra who nis king of gods, told favourable sweet words.
65)sHey,lord,
if you think horse is not fit for release
my woeshipable father doing so much of
sacrifices(yagas,yajnas),dedicating offer(sacrifice) as he has become holy, to him let fruit of
this yaga(sacrifice ) be got according to scriptures. When sacrifice is
completed the fruit which is got then
let it be got now only.
Raghu is not
asking to return the horse. But he ias asking fru.sit of yaga(sacrifice
66)indra who
is world lord, kindly send your people
near king. It is impossible to meet king
who has taken initiation(Deeksha,consecration). Let my father Know all
through your reporters only.
67) Indra who had given promise
to Raghu,s with his charioteer
‘mathali’
Returned as
he came. Sudakshine’s son Raghu returned to yaga hall.
68)Indra’s
reporters informed all what happened to diilipa. Stroking body of
Raghu on wound, seing wound formed by vajrayudha of Indra,,seing son who has
wared with Indra became very much
happy(celebrated).
69) to
ndilipa who had completed 99 ashwamedha
yagas 9sacrifices) those became steps
of rising to heaven. The fruit of these
ashwamedha yagas be got by him .At the
end of his life , let him get heaven. That itself is fruit got by him.
70)after
completion of all these, Dilipa having dispassion), to his som\n Raghu, signs
of empire ,state signs(symbols) by
giving white umbrellas excetras , with wife undertook vanaprastha (forest living). This
is custom of Ikashwaku Family.
