Thataka
Rama heard the words of the great Sage(Whose Penace cannot be even imagined)and said “Hey Swami, I have heard that Yakshas have very little Valour,how come a Lady in that clan got the strength of 1000 Elephants.” Sage Kaushika told him “Rama she got this exceptional strength due to a Boon”. Sage replied “Sukethu Yaksha did not have a Child for long and was feeling miserable, with severe peance and Purity of Conduct, with devotion and Veeryam( Inner Core Strengh of Sperm’s retension), pleased Brahma got Thataka and with strength of 1000 Elephants. But did not get a son. She grew up and was of matchless beauty in her teens, She was married to Sundha son of Jhambhan. The child she bore Mareech could not be faced by any one else. Later years because of curse he became a Raakshasaa. When Sundan was killed because of Sage Aagasthya’s curse, Thataka and Mareecha wanted to take a revenge came running very fast to swallow him. Seeing his Agasthya cursed “ You and your son become Canibals killing and eating Humans and thus become Rakshasaas.” Hence they got his Form now. Unable to do anything to Agasthya, they destroyed his place and and showing their anger to the animlas living here.
This Yaksha Lady is very cruel, wicked, she is focused on spoiling all with her Strange Strength. Please kill this Thataka , there is non else in all the 3 worlds so please kill her and earn the blessings of all living beings and Brahmins. “ Do not think why should I use the Archery and Missiles 1st time on this person? that too she is a Lady, do not hesitate thus”. For the benefit of all strata of society Kings have to carry out suchacts. For the sake of protecting the Learned and Weak & Pious, Kings have to carry out such acts which may cause bad name, such cruel killings, have to commit such Sins compulsorily. Those who have taken the responsibility have to go by this tradition only. Further to kill her is not an unjust or unrighteous (Adharma) act. Earlier when Manthara the daughter of Dhanava King started destroying the earth did not Indra kill her? When Brighu Rishi’s wife and Sukracharya’s mother tried to kill Indra did not Vishnu kill her with his Chakra Ayudha (Wheel Weapon) {discreetly reminding Rama the reason for his Avathar as Human andhad to Live away from His Wife as per Brighu Muni Curse}, futher many Just and Great Men have killed those Ladies who have been doing unrighteous acts. (Slokas 41)
