Journey to Mythila
Preface
Sage Vishwamithra had the capacity to kill Thataka and other Rakshasaas , but he wanted to propagate the Fame of Rama to this universe. Further by Rama slaying them those Rakshasaas curse will be over and they will get benign world as destination.Having brought Rama for protection of Yaga was only a tool to give those getting a realease from their earlier curse.
Further he gave all the Missiles and their codings so that Rama in future can destroy the Great Ravana and his and thus lessen the Earth’s burden of these Sinners.
Without the cooperation of Parashakthi Devi (Janakapur iAmma). The purpose of incarnation will not be fulfilled.In order to make the Pair with Rama he took him to Lakshmi born as Janaka’s Daughter to Mythila alias Sita **(Kodhaiyaval Seethaiaval Kodhanta Paaniaval). Also fortify that only those taught by the Guru will be beneficial even. The Omni potent and Omini present Rama took Sage Vishwamithra as his Guru served him fully and then obtained the Missiles from him.
Rama and Lakshamana were Happy that there visit was successful.They rested there that night and woke up early morning and completed their Daily duties came to where Kaushika and other Rishis were seated. Rama bowed to Sage Vishwamithra who was dazing like the Fire “ Hey Master , we the servants have come.You can order us to complete whatever is needed. , what is your next order?” thus they spoke in a pleasant and maganaimous way. (We have become your slaves for your Devotion. We do not have the heart to be separated from you even for few seconds. “Can we order the Pirnces often?” Do not hesitate thus. When you buy a Prince during famine for basket full of rice, will they give the same price after the Famine once it is known they are Prince. Whatever work is assigned same should be done without interruptions”.
The Rishis present there took Kaushika’s permission and said “The Great Dharmathama Janaka is peforming an Yaga. Since it is done without anticipation of fruitful result and in a worshipful manner , it is significant and much more valuable than Daily rituals,hence we are going there to witness the same. Hey Rama Greatest amongst Mortals, if you also come , you can also see that Great Bow. This bow as given by the Devas(Celestials) to Janaka’s forefathers.it illuminates with Radiance, and of immense Power, Looking Huge, None amongst Devas, asuras, ghanadarvas, rakshasaas have been able to string it up. Do we have to tell about Humans? Having thus come to know of the greatness of this Bow, many a Prince who came have not been able to bend the same.If we go there we can see that Great Bow as well as Janaka’s yaga . The great Bow which was given a Gift by the Devas for performing anyaga is prayed daily with Fragrant Flowers, Incense sticks, Lamps, food offerings with special invocations.”
Thus Sage Kaushika took Rama and Laskshamana along with other Saints and starteed for Mythila. He addressed the Trees “ Maywell being be unto you, I am going to the foot hills of Himalayas. My purpose of coming here is over.” Thus he took leave of them, and circumbulated the Sidhdhashrama and went in a Northerly direction. Other Rishis loaded the Agnihothra materials inavechicle and left.Because of the devotion and affection they had for Sage Vishwamithra even the animals and birds walked along with him for a long distance(as a token of gratitude to Sage when he saved them from famine earlier).He stopped them and asked them to return, walked till Dusk and stopped on the banks of Sone River.After completing their rituals of Bath, Agnihothram, prayers, they sat on the banks of the River. The 2 Princes bowed to Sage Kaushika and sat in front of him. The Rama asked “ Hey Master this place which is full of forest belongs to whom? The great sage narrated the entire History of the place to Sri Rama. (Slokas 24)
