Sampathi’s History
Thus I narrated the incndents to Sage and wept in agony. He thought for a while and said “ Sampathi! Don’t have Varutham (Upset, regret, perturbed, feel sorry, sad,pained ). Your Eyes, Wings, Prana, Potency, Valourous Prowess will become Like earlier times. When I have heard from Great Sages like Naradha about Rama’s incarnation I have heard a big event is likely to happen in near future.By my Power of Penance I realized it is Truth.In Ikshwaku Dynasty there will be born a King named Dasaratha.He will beget a Great Thejasvi Rama as his son. He and his younger brother Lakshamana as per their Father’s ordain will roam in forest. Then a Rakshasaa known as Ravana will forcibly abduct Sita from Jhanasthana. He is King of Rakshasaas and cannot be killed by Celestials or Demons. He will try to lure Sita with all wealth, Ornaments, Garments to make her desire him. But She is a great Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife of Rama not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power). Being saddened by separation from her husband she will be in constant grief, and will not pay heed to him least bit. Seeing her not having any Food ,Indra(Lord of Celestial) will send her Parama Anna (Special Rice Food) through his servant.
The ParamaAnna which is not even attainable by Devas(Celestials) which is equivalent to Elixir(Amruth that confers Immortaility)Sita will accept from the emissary as she had noticed that he did not wink at all and she knew he is not Ravana’s man but he is Indra’s servant.Further he will convey “ Rama will come here and will kill that Wicked, he will take you back.For the sake of Celestials Task be completed ,you have taken Human birth,you have to keep yourself alive with Food. Even Dieties if they take Human form they cannot Live without Food. This Paramaana for 1 year you will remove Hunger, Thirs, Tiredness. Hearing the words of Devadhoot (Emissary of Celestial) she took part of it “ Even if my husband and His brother are alive or have lost Life and have attained Godliness may this Food satisfy them”thus she kept it in the earth and balance she ate.
Then the Vanaras who have been sent searching for Sita will come here.You have to tell them the History of Sita in detail. You should not go away from here at no time.When you are weak were will you go? Please bear with it for sometime. I will make the wings grow again. Now itself I can do that help, but the birds have a vacillating nature and you will not stay put here. There is a great job to be done by you for Dieties, Brahmins, Great Sages and . Devendra (Lord of Celestials), Since you were born through a Celestial organ this will confer well being for you too. It will be helpful to those Kingly Princes as well. So you only have to tell the whereabouts of Sita to the Rama’s emissaries.I also have keen desire to see Rama Lakshmana, I do not have the intent to keep this body for long as I have become weak , hence will go to Noble Worlds. You stay put here carefully” thus he informed me the inner secrets of the shape of things to come said Sampathi. (Slokas15)
