Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 Vishvamitra Curses Rambha Summary Vishvamitra curses Rambha, the celestial wench, knowing that she arrived at the behest of Indra to cause hindrance to his asceticism. But later feels ashamed to loose his tongue and then he is determined to undertake another round of asceticism to conquer is own senses. Chapter [Sarga] 64 – in Detail sura kaaryam idam rambhe kartavyam sumahat tvayaa | lobhanam kaushikasya iha kaama moha samanvitam || 1-64-1 Oh, Rambha, now you have to undertake this very great task of Gods in enchanting Vishvamitra with a craving caused by lust, for lusting after you.' Thus Indra ordered Rambha... Thus Sage Shataananda continued the legend of Vishvamitra to Rama. [1-64-1] tathaa uktaa sa apsaraa raama sahasraaksena dhiimataa | vriiditaa praa.njalih vaakyam pratyuvaaca sura iishvaram || 1-64-2 Oh, Rama, when that celestial wench is spoken thus by the Thousand-eyed Indra, she diffidently [shyly] said to that chief of Gods while adjoining her palms suppliantly [humbly]. [1-64- 2] Page 1 of 5 Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 ayam sura pate ghoro vishvaamitro mahaamunih | krodham utsracyate ghoram mayi deva na samshayah || 1-64-3 tato hi me bhayam deva prasaadam kartum ar.hhasi | Oh, chief of Gods, Indra, that great saint Vishvamitra is a dangerous one and undoubtedly he releases his deadly anger on me. Oh, God, thereby I am fearful of him. Hence, oh, God, it will be apt of you to accord forbearance [patience]. So said Rambha to Indra. [1-64-3, 4a] evam uktah tayaa raama sa bhayam bhiitayaa tadaa || 1-64-4 taam uvaaca sahasraakso vepamaanaam kritaa.njalim | Oh, Rama, the Thousand-eyed Indra replied Rambha when she spoke to him in that way while shuddering in fear and making palm fold in supplication. [1-64-4b, 5a] maa bhaisii ra.mbhe bhadram te kurusva mama shaasanam || 1-64-5 kokilo hridaya graahii maadhave rucira drume | aham ka.ndarpa sahitah sthaasyaami tava paarshvatah || 1-64-6 'You need not be fearful, Rambha, carry out my command, safe betides you, I on becoming a heart-stealing black-songbird will be at your side along with Love-God in the pleasing trees of springtime. [1-64-5b, 6] tvam hi ruupam bahu gunam kritvaa parama bhaasvaram | tam risim kaushikam ra.mbhe bhedayasva tapasvinam || 1-64-7 'Indeed on your assuming a highly sparkling semblance [actual or apparent resemblance], and multi-multiplexing your savoir faire [literally, knowing how to do], with bon viveurs [food] and bon vivants [a person having cultivated, refined, and sociable tastes], you disengage that ascetical sage Kaushika from his asceticism.' So said Indra to Rambha. [1-64-7] Page 2 of 5 Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 saa shrutvaa vacanam tasya kritvaa ruupam anuttamam | lobhayaamaasa lalitaa vishvaamitram shuci smitaa || 1-64-8 On hearing the sentence of Indra she adopted an unexcelled physique, and on becoming a pulchritudinous [physical having a pleasing appearance] damsel she started to entice Vishvamitra with giggly [to laugh with repeated short catches of the breath] grins [smile]. [1-64-8] kokilasya tu shushraava valgu vyaaharatah svanam | samprahristena manasaa sa enaam anvaiksata || 1-64-9 Vishvamitra has heard melodious trilling tune of songbird, and while his heart is highly gladdening about the ambience, he incidentally saw and stared at Rambha. [1-64-9] atha tasya ca shabdena giitena apratimena ca | dar.hshanena ca rambhaayaa munih sa.ndeham aagatah || 1-64-10 By the exceptional trilling tune of that songbird and by the unexceptional tableau of Rambha the sage is on his qui vive [lookout]. [1-64-10] sahasraaksasya tat karma vijnaaya munipungavah | ra.mbhaam krodha samaavistah shashaapa kushika aatmajah || 1-64-11 On knowing that as an escapade of the Thousand-eyed Indra, Vishvamitra is enwrapped in wrath and he cursed Rambha. [1-64-11] yat maam lobhayase ra.mbhe kaama krodha jaya esinam | dasha varsa sahasraani shailii sthaasyasi dur.hbhage || 1-64-12 Whereof you tried to entice me who am wishing to win over the wanton [lust] and wroth [angry], you unlucky female Rambha, thereof you will become a rocklike statued wastrel [a piece of property]. [1-64-12] Page 3 of 5 Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 braahmanah sumahaatejaah tapo bala samanvitah | uddharisyati rambhe tvaam mat krodha kalusii kritaam || 1-64-13 A highly resplendent Brahman who is ascetically powerful redeems you, oh, Rambha, who are now blemished by my anger.' Vishvamitra cursed Rambha in this way. [1-64-13] evam uktvaa mahaatejaa vishvaamitro mahaamunih | ashaknuvan dhaarayitum kopam santaapam aagatah || 1-64-14 Thus the great-resplendent Vishvamitra became compunctious [distressed] when that great-saint could not contain his anger in uttering an angry curse. [1-64-14] tasya shaapena mahataa rambhaa shailii tadaa abhavat | vacah shrutvaa ca kandarpo maharseh sa ca nirgatah || 1-64-15 Then Rambha has become a rocklike statue by that great curse of Vishvamitra, and having heard the words of that great-saint Love-God and Indra also took flight. [1-64-15] kopena sa mahaatejaah tapo apaharane krite | indriyair ajitai raama na lebhe shaantim aatmanah || 1-64-16 Owing to his angering that great-resplendent Vishvamitra is now divested of his ascetical merit, and he has no peace of mind owing to ungovernable senses. [1-64-16] babhuuva asya manah ci.ntaa tapo apaharane krite | na eva krodham gamisyaami na ca vakshye katha.mcana || 1-64-17 His conscience became sentimental owing to the divesture of his ascetical merit, and he soliloquized [talk to oneself], 'I shall not succumb to wrath in anyway, nor I put my presentiment [sense or mind] into words.' [1-64-17] athavaa na ucchaasisyaami sa.mvatsra shataani api | aham hi shosayisyaami aatmaanam vijitendriyah || 1-64-18 'Otherwise, I do not even respire for a hundred years for the respiratory gestures will also exhibit moods, and I indeed emaciate myself until I become a real conqueror of my own senses. [1-64-18] taavat yaavat hi me praaptam braahmanyam tapasaa aarjitam | anucchvasan abhu.njaah tistheyam shaashvatii samaah || 1-64-19 na hi me tapyamaanasya kshayam yaasyanti muurtayah | Till such time as I acquire Brahman-hood with the merit of my own asceticism I will be breathless and foodless, even if it is going to take endless years, and while I am in asceticism my bodily organs indeed will not undergo any deterioration.' So said Vishvamitra to himself. [1-64-19] Page 4 of 5 Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 64 evam vearsa shasrasya diikshaam sa munipu.ngavah | cakaara pratimaam loke pratijnaam raghun.ndana || 1-64-20 Thus that eminent sage abided by the commitment to the vow for a thousand years, oh, Rama, the legatee of Ragu, which is a nonpareil [having no equal] vow in the world. Thus Shataananda continued. [1-64-20] iti vaalmiiki raamaayane aadi kaavye baala kaande catuh sastitamah sargah Thus, this is the 64th chapter in Bala Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, the First Epic poem of India.

  • Menaka's Choice As a Feminist Revisionist Mythological
    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 9, 2020 MENAKA’S CHOICE AS A FEMINIST REVISIONIST MYTHOLOGICAL LITERATURE Ayuta Mohanty1, Dr. S. D. Chaudhuri2 1PhD Scholar, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, KIIT UNIVERSITY 2Assistant Professor, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, KIIT UNIVERSITY Received: 24.03.2020 Revised: 22.04.2020 Accepted: 25.05.2020 Abstract In patriarchal societies, mythological literature are generally composed by male authors. As a result, it almost always concentrates on the male protagonist and his adventures. The role that women play in these epics can be grouped into the following three categories: a) passive onlookers, b) receivers of the male action, and c) causes of the troubles faced by the male protagonists/ characters. Such biased depiction affects the mentality of our society as these values get embedded within our psyche and shapes our thoughts and perspectives and ultimately becomes a social tradition. Partially in an attempt to change this outlook, some Indian women writers have started a fresh and subversive trend by recreating mythological texts from the point of view of the female characters. These recreations or retellings help us to understand these epics from quite a dissimilar perspective, because when the perception of the narrator changes, the way a reader perceives a narrative is bound to change as well. This paper focuses on one such novel, Menaka’s Choice by Kavita Kane, that focuses on the perspective of Menaka and highlights her strengths and weakness that led her to make certain decisions that changed her course of life as well as that of others related to her.

  • Giving Voice to the Voiceless: a Clash of Dominant and Divergent Idea in Sita’S Sister and Menaka’S Choice by Kavitha Kane
    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 6 ~ Issue 12 (2018)pp.:06-09 ISSN(Online):2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Giving Voice To The Voiceless: A Clash Of Dominant And Divergent Idea In Sita’s Sister And Menaka’s Choice By Kavitha Kane Lavanya R.Mohan Research Scholar Mar Thoma College, Thiruvalla M.G University, Kottayam Corresponding Author: Lavanya R.Mohan ABSTRACT: Literature always have the provision for taking different themes and subjects which tend to establish certain ideologies. Such ideologies sometimes establish a deep connection with the everyday rendering of society with an ability to influence them. In modern times such ideologies make a connection with both similar and contradictory concepts which are prevalent in the society and draw divergent ideas out of both similarities and differences. Indian literature also has that provision which derive themes and idea from both the modern and ancient periods. Sometimes they render a re-reading of ancient myths and tales and present them in modern context. Through this, they put forth a particular ideology which contradict the dominant ideology and create divergent ideology from them. My paper aims to study such a rereading in Indian English literature through the examination of the novels Sita’Sister and Menaka’s Choice by Kavitha Kane, which are published in the years 2014 and 2015 respectively. The novels portray the women characters who were left with no choice except to obey the norms established by the male dominated society. Both the novels explore the voice of the female characters Urmila and Menaka, who are placed within the margins of patriarchal society where ideas were determined by men, which emerged as dominant, as seen in ancient scriptures like Ramayana and Mahabharatha.

  • Kali, Untamed Goddess Power and Unleashed Sexuality: A
    Journal of Asian Research Vol. 1, No. 1, 2017 www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/jar Kali, Untamed Goddess Power and Unleashed Sexuality: A Study of the ‘Kalika Purana’ of Bengal Saumitra Chakravarty1* 1 Post-Graduate Studies in English, National College, Bangalore, India * Saumitra Chakravarty, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper attempts to analyse the paradox inherent in the myth of Kali, both in her iconic delineation and the rituals associated with her worship as depicted in the twelfth century Kalika Purana. The black goddess Kali breaks conventional stereotypes of feminine beauty and sexuality in Hindu goddess mythology. She is the dominant sexual partner straddling the prone Siva and the wild warrior goddess drinking demon blood. She is originally depicted as a symbol of uncontrolled fury emerging from the fair, beautiful goddess Ambika in the battle with the demons in older goddess texts. Thereafter she gains independent existence both as the dark, mysterious and sexually demanding version of the more benign and auspicious Parvati and the Primordial Goddess Power pre-dating the Hindu trinity of male gods, the Universal Mother Force which embraces both good and evil, gods and demons in the Kalika Purana. Unlike other goddess texts which emphasize Kali’s role in the battle against the demons, the Kalika Purana’s focus is on her sexuality and her darkly sensual beauty. Equally it is on the heterodoxical rituals associated with her worship involving blood and flesh offerings, wine and the use of sexual intercourse as opposed to Vedic rituals. Keywords kali, female, sexuality, primordial, goddess, paradox 1.

Over a period of time tested it and every time gained 100 % results.

  • Apsaras - the Dancing Damsels of Indra's Court
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Apsaras - The Dancing Damsels of Indra's Court Copyright © 2019, DollsofIndia The interesting and entertaining tales of Indian mythology talk about not only Gods and Goddesses, but also about celestial beings of all kinds; especially those working in tandem with the Devas and Devis; loyally serving them; many times, actually being the catalysts of change, bringing about transformation for the good of all beings in all the three worlds. Such is the tale of the enchanting Apsaras of the court of Indra, the God of the Devas. Apsaras Apsaras are celestial nymphs, who dance in the court of Indra, the King of the Devas. Quite a few in number; they are considered to be extremely beautiful, charming, seductive and greatly talented in both music and dance. Apsara - Temple Sculpture from Belur, Karnataka, India (Photo Print) Etymology The word "Apsara" originates from the Sanskrit "Apsaras". It could loosely be defined as "the one going in the waters or between the waters of the clouds". There are two types of Apsaras, namely, laukika (wordly) and daivika (divine). Thirty-four nymphs are specified of the first type and ten of the second type. These celestial beings are also known as vidyadhari or tep apsar in Khmer, acchara in Pali, bo sa la tu in Vietnam, bidadari in Indonesia and Malaysia, widadari in Java and aapson in Thailand. The most famous Apsaras in Indian mythology are Rambha, Menaka, Urvashi, Tilottama and Ghritachi. The Puranas also mention other minor nymphs such as Mishrakesi, Vapu, Viprachitti, Purvachitti, Sahajanya, Karnika, Punjikasthala, Viswachi, Rithisthala, Umlocha, Pramlocha, Swayamprabha,Janapadi, and Adrika.
