Dasratha invites and brings Rishya Shringhar
Hey Maharaja Please Listen , Sanathkumar told this also further.
In Ikshvaku dynasty there will be born King who is Dharmathama (Righteous man) and who will never waver from the path of Truth. That king Dasaratha will become friend of this King Romapada. Roma padah will have a daughter named Shantha. One time Dasratha will go and meet Romapada and address him thus “ Hey King who has noble Mind, For a very long time,I do not have children.I want to do a yagam whereby my Lineage can grow and I beget a son.You will have to tell Shantha’s husband Rishya shringhar and send him to Ayodhya “. Romapadha without consulting anyone will decide to send his daughter and Rishyashringhar to Ayodhya as His Son in law only can fulfill Dasaratha’s desire.
Dasaratha who is interested in fame will request with all happiness Rishyashringhar “ Swami I should beget son and reach Punya lokam for which you may conduct Puthra Kaameshti yagam” .That Rishi will accede and perform the yaga. Dasaratha will beget 4 sons. They will be great warriors and will enhance the Sun Dynasty’s name further and will become famous in all worlds. Sanathkumara who could see Past, Present and future. Had told this in Krutha yug almost 3 Lac to 17 Lac years earlier. Hence you should go to that Kingdom and pray Rhishyashringhar and bring him with all Paraphenelia.
Dasratha consulted Vasishta. He left with his ministers and his queens went to the Place Rishyashingar was living by crossing many a hill, rivers and forest. Dsaratha saw Rhishya shringar sining like a Sun. Romapadha was ecstatic to see his friend Dasaratha and received him with all warmth. Then he explained to the Muni the realtionship between Romapadha and Dasaratha. Then Maharishi also extended warm greetings.
Thus Dasratha stayed for 8 days and requested “ Hey I friend you have to send Shantha and Rhishyashringa as I have a great task to be performed”.
Roma padha accepting Dasratha’s request went to his son in law “ Swami, you and Shantha have to go to Ayodhya and do a great favour to Dasharatha”. Rishi also accepted. There after the two kings hugged each other and left .
Dasaratha called the messengers who travel very fast “ You please go to Ayodhya and inform of them of our arrival, clean up the city, sprinkle the water on the roads, adorn the streets wih flowers, incense sticks Arches, Decorations etc. Ayodhya people, responded and Dasaratha entered the city with All the musical instruments playing . Seeing Dasaratha bringing the Maha rishi the people were ecstatic. Dasaratha received the Maharishi with all the warmth and the tradition and made them comfortable. Dasratha was happy having fulfilled his desire. The queens of the harem were happy to see Shantha. Rishi and his wife were happy and stayed for long. (Slokas 30)
