Vishwamithra and Vasishta Battle
Vasishta boomed “ Hey Sabalai! With your Porwess of Penance please create many more armies”. Sabalai roared ‘Hoomba’ from there emanated Kahmbhojas, and from it’s udder Paplavas, from it’s organ Yavans and from it’s Shit Sagars and from it’s Hair pores came Milaychas and Haaridhas & Kiraadhas.KingsAshwini(100,000 Strong Army) was wiped out in no time.Then King Vishwamithra’s 100 sons came charging at Sage Vasishtaa wielding swords with anger rage in their faces. And Vasishtaa being epitome of Manthras scolded them saying ‘Hoom’ and they turned into ashes. King Vishwamithra saw his 100 sons and his entire army were destroyed in one minute. That King was ashamed as well as worried. He was like the sea where the waves have just subsided and still, and like the Snakes whose Venomous Poisonous teeth have been extracted, and also like the Sun which has been coveres by Rahu(Solar Eclipse) lost his Aura & Charisma. Having lost his sons, Defence forces,lost all his fervor of Arrogance ,dejected having lost his motivation, heart broken, he becam meek like the Bird whose wings have been cut.He submitted the Kingdom to his only son “ Hey Child! Please rule the kingdom carefully as per Rules of Governance” and left for foot hills of Himalayas where Deva (Celestials), Gandharva, Kinnara do live and Prayed for a Long Long time to God Siva. Umapathy God of the Gods was happy with Kaushika’s penance and appeared before him to fulfill his desires and said “ Hey king! What do you have in Mind for undertaking such a penance? Please ask whatever you want, I shall grant the Boons. What do you want?” asked God Siva. Kaushika Bowed with folded hands and spoke “Hey God! You are satisfied with my penance, please grant me the knowledge of Dhanurveda( Archery & Missiles) including it’s intricacies of Angam(Launching) , Upangam( Dismantling & Storing/safety),I should know all that ;what Devas(Celestials), Dahanava (Demons), Yaksha, Rakshasaas, Maha Rishis(Great Sages)” asked Kaushika. God Siva replied “ May it be so” blessed and returned to Kailash(Currentl 2013 AD in China– Vaiwasvatha manvanthara 28 chathuryug -Kali Yug 5015 years) his abode .
Sage Vishwamithra is a Kshatriya (Warrior clan), he is a King and also further he has got Boon from God Siva all the Divine Missiles as well , he lost his mental balance and became arrogant, like the sea rises during monsoon, so did his pride swell. His Vrility and Valour grew manifold in this motivation. He mentally had killed Sage Vasishtaa. He rushed to Sage vasishtaa’s hermitage,with his Missile power he reduced it to Ashes in seconds.Seeing him coming all the rest of the Saints, Disciples, Animals,Birds ran helter skelter in all directions. That Holy place in few second became an uninhabited Desert. Despite Sage Vasishtaa assured his disciples “You need not worry the least bit.i will kill this Kadi’s son now like the Sun vanquishes the Fog” but they did not pay heed. Sage Vasishtaa became angry “ Hey fool This holy place which has been hermitage to many a holy saint you have destroyed, your untenable action will destroy you”thus he took Vasishtaa took his Holy Brahma Dhandha (Staff) which was Dazzling like the Volcanic Fire ball..
