Забегая вперёд

Ладно, забегу вперёд и расскажу немного про то, что должно было быть в серии "Трудно быть богом".
Дело в том, что Гурмит принципиально отказался смотреть старую версию Сагаровской Рамаяны. Мотивировал это тем, что хочет избежать влияния и повторов. Признался, что создал характер с "чистого листа". И это было действительно так! В этом - секрет его успеха,но! Но почему, я не пойму, если он утверждает, что влияния не было, именно в Уттара Канде (именно - в последней её части) он так аццки похож на Рао?! Случайность? Или стереотипы?

И ещё одно. Гурмит очень, ОЧЕНЬ просил две версии не сравнивать. Правильная просьба, кстати, но все всё равно сравнивают. Я же решил его просьбу уважить, поэтому, несмотря на намерения, я не помещаю здесь ничего, со "старым" сериалом связанное. Хотя очень хочется...

А что обсуждают?

А обсуждают Патала Канду. Мрачно как-то. Про Раму и про Кришну, и всё - не где-нибудь, а в Патала Канде...
(Канда сия - в Падма Пуране, интересно, что династические споры Сурья Вамши до сих пор волнуют так много народу. А вы когда-нибудь пытались общаться с людьми, для которых Махендра Парват такая же реальность, как для москвичей Химки?)

Part-11
Lav catches the horse

One day, in the morning, when The Sun was rising, the horse arrived in Vaalmeeki's Aashram on the banks of Gangaa River. Sita's son, Lav went to bring Samidhaa for morning Havan. There he saw the Yagya horse
Lav to other Muni's sons - "Whose horse is this who has come to our Aashram? Let us go and see him. Do not be afraid."

Lav went to that horse and read the letter tied to his forehead. He opened it and read it. He got angry reading it.

Lav - "See his bravery, who has described himself in this letter. What is Raam? What is Shatrughn? Is it only Raam and Shatrughn who are born in Kshatriya family? Are we not Kshatriya?"

Thus Lav caught the horse and got ready to fight taking his bow and arrow.

Munis' sons tried to explain him - "Listen, Ayodhyaa's king Raam is very powerful. Even Indra cannot touch His horse, so better you leave this horse alone."

Hearing this Lav said - "You are Braahman's sons, you don't know the might of Kshatriya. Kshatriyas are famous for their might and Braahman are famous to eat food. Go and eat food offered by your mothers."


Munis' sons got silent at this and stood away from him. In the meantime Shatrughn's soldiers came there and seeing their horse tied there asked Lav

Soldiers- "Who has tied this horse here? On whom Yam Raaj is angry today?"

Lav said - "I have tied him here. Whoever will come to take it, my elder brother Kush will be angry at him."

Hearing Lav the soldiers thought, "He is only a child. We should not pay any attention to him." so they proceeded to free the horse. Seeing this Lav cut their arms. They went from there crying and told everything to Shatrughn."

Part 9
Horse paralyzed
As the challenge-horse continued to wander over the Earth, King Viramani accompanied Shatrughna, along with his army. Then, one day, something wonderful occured. The challenge-horse suddenly became stiff, like a statue, and thus did not move. The guards beat the horse with whips, and yet it still remained immovable. When Shatrughna was informed of this, he had Pushkala lift up the horse. Still, the horse remained stiff. Hanuman then went and dragged the horse, and yet, it remained like a statue.Shatrughna approached his minister, Sumati, and inquired as to the cause of this wonderful occurance. Sumati suggested that this must be the work of a powerful sage. Soldiers were sent to search for this mendicant and finally, at a great distance, a hermitage was discovered. Shatrughna was informed that the ashram of the sage Shaunaka was nearby. Along with Hanuman, Pushkala and some others, he went there. The sage gave Shatrughna a nice reception and asked about the purpose of his visit. In response, Shatrughna explained how his challenge-horse had miraculously become paralyzed.After contemplating for a moment, Pushkala replied, "There was a great sage named Sattvika, who practiced penance on the banks of the River Kaveri. One day, death appeared before Sattvika and took him to the peak of Mount Meru. A great Jambu tree was there, and a river called Jambabati. There, Sattvika enjoyed the company of many celestial girls, according to his desire.Being very proud of himself, however, he arrogantly disrespected those girls, and as a result, he was cursed by sages to become a demon. When he begged for forgiveness, the sages told him, 'When you make Rama's challenge-horse stiff, you will be able to hear Rama's pastimes. After that, you will become freed from our curse.Shaunaka thus urged Shatrughna to go and narrate Rama's pastimes to the demon, thus freeing him from the sages' curse. Shatrughna went and narrated Rama's pastimes near the challenge-horse, and while doing so, he suddenly saw a divine being, ascending to heaven in an airplane. That being then said, "I have become released from the sages' curse by hearing Rama's astimes. i am returning to my celestial abode, by your mercy.At that time, the horse became free from stiffness, and thus proceed to wander over the Earth.

Part-10
Fight with King Suratha and defeat of Ram's Army

Finally, after seven months were completed, the horse came to the kingdom of Suratha, who was a great devotee of Lord Rama. When the king's servants spotted the challenge-horse, they reported the matter to their master.
They said, "This horse belongs to Rama, the king at Ayodhya.

King-Why don't you seize it? It is very charming.It is our great fortune that we shall be able to see Lord Rama. I will capture the horse and then release it when Rama comes here. In this way, my goal of life will be achieved.

The king's servants caught the challenge-horse. When he came to know of this, Shatrughna questioned Sumati about the king of that region. In response, Sumati described King Suratha as Rama's loyal devotee, and he advised Shatrughna to send Angada as an envoy.Angada thus went to Suratha's assembly, and advised him to return the challenge-horse.

King Suratha replied- "I have knowingly seized Lord Rama's horse. I will not release it from fear of Shatrughna, however. Only if Rama personally comes here will I not only return the horse, but also offer my entire kingdom in His service. If Rama does not come, then I will easily defeat Shatrughna and his followers.

Upon hearing this, Angada laughed and said- "You have become senile with old age! You greatly underestimate Shatrughna, and his brother's son, Pushkala. What then to speak of Hanuman? Compared to them, you are but a mosquito! You must return the horse if you at all desire your welfare, and that of your sons.

King Suratha remained adamant, however, considering himself to be more powerful than even Hanuman. Angada returned to Shatrughna and informed him of all that had taken place.Thereafter, a great battle commenced. Suratha's son, Champaka, fought with Pushkala. After a heroic fight, Champaka released an arrow that struck Pushkala in the chest and bound him. Champaka then took Pushkala on his chariot. Upon seeing this, Shatrughna ordered Hanuman to free Pushkala. In the fight that followed, Champaka surprisingly foiled all of Hanuman's attacks.The enraged Hanuman then grabbed Champaka by the arm and took him into the sky. Even there, Champaka fought bravely, but finally, Hanuman grabbed him by the foot and threw him to the ground, causing the prince to faint. After accompishing this feat, Hanuman freed Pushkala from Champaka's nooses.Suratha angrily challenged Hanuman, and proceeded to pierce him with numerous arrows. Hanuman then went and grabbed Suratha's bow and broke it to pieces. Indeed, again and again, Suratha picked up a new bow, and again and again, Hanuman broke each one. In this way, eighty bows were destroyed.Suratha then struck Hanuman with a shakti weapons. In retaliation, Hanuman picked up the king's chariot and began carrying him toward the sea. Suratha struck Hanuman severely on the chest with his club and so the chariot fell from his hands and broke. Suratha mounted another chariot but again, Hanuman shattered it to pieces. Indeed, forty-nine chariots were smashed in this way.



King Suratha then angrily relased the Pashupata weapon, causing countless ghosts, witches, and fiends to suddenly appear. Indeed, Hanuman was bound by that weapon of Lord Shiva. However, while remembering Lord Rama, Hanuman easily broke his bonds.Finally, Suratha put the weapon of Lord Rama upon his bow. Being bound by that weapon, Hanuman did not even try to free himself, out of respect for his master. Pushkala then came and attacked Suratha. After a breathtaking battle, Suratha made Pushkala faint upon the battlefield. At this, Shatrughna finally came and challenged Suratha. After a fierce fight, Suratha released an arrow that fell upon Shatrughna's chest, making him fall unconscious. Seeing this, the other warriors supporting Shatrughna fled. Sugriva then challenged King Suratha. Soon, Suratha was able to bind Sugriva with the weapon presided over by Lord Rama.Thereafter, in his court, Suratha told Hanuman,

Suratha-"Kindly remember Lord Rama, the protector of His devotees, so that He will come nere and release you. Otherwise, I will not free you, even after many, many years.Hanuman offered prayers to Lord Rama, begging for his release. He concluded by saying

Hanuman-"O Lord, I have been bound by Suratha's nooses. If You do not come and release me, the people of this world will joke about us. For this reason, please do not delay.

Lord Rama immediatley came, accompanied by Lakshman and Bharata, riding upon the Pushpaka chariot. Suratha offered his obeisances, hundreds of times. Rama then came and embraced the king. After doing so, He freed his dear devotees from their bondage. Indeed, all of the unconscious warriors quickly regained consciousness. After this was accomplished, Suratha gladly presented the challenge-horse to Rama, and begged for His forgiveness. After staying in Suratha's palace for three days, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya in the Pushpaka chariot. Putting Champaka in charge of the city, Suratha accompanied Shatrughna on his journey, protecting Rama's challenge-horse. After wandering at will, the horse finally came to the ashram of Valmiki Muni.

Part-7
Shiv enters the battlefield and Hanuman fight with shiv

Hearing the news of Pushkal's killing, Shatrughn got very sad, and seeing Shatrughn sad Shiv said - "Don't be sorry for Pushkal. He fought for five days with the same Veerbhadra who killed Daksh in one moment only. Come and fight." So Shatrughn started fighting with him . Everybody was thinking, "Who will win. One is Shiv himself, another is the younger brother of Raam." Shatrughn and Shiv fought for 11 days. On the 12th day Shatrughn used Brahmaastra for Shiv but he drank it smilingly. Shatrughn was thinking "What to do now" that Shiv shot an arrow at Shatrughn's chest, it pierced his chest and he fell down. Seeing Shatrughn unconscious, Hanumaan kept Pushkal's body on a chariot and came to fight with Shiv.

Hanumaan to Shiv - "You are doing wrong by killing a devotee of Raam that is why I want to punish you. I heard before that Shiv himself used to worship Raghunaath's feet, but today it seems that it was wrong, because you have fought with Raam's devotee Shatrughn."

Shiv said - "You are a great warrior and are blessed. You have heard right. Raam is my Lord, but my devotee Veermani has brought His horse and Shatrughn has attacked him, that is why I have come here to fight for my devotee. One must protect his devotee."

Hearing this Hanumaan got very angry and he hit a rock on his chariot. It killed Shiv's Saarathee and broke his chariot. Seeing this Nandee rushed there and asked Shiv to ride on him. Seeing riding on Nandee, Hanumaan got angrier and threw a Shaal tree on Shiv. Shiv shot an arrow which had three sharp heads, at Hanumaan. Hanumaan caught it in his hand and broke it.Both started fighting fiercely, but Hanumaan made Shiv uncomfortable

Shiv to hanumaan-"You are blessed. I am very pleased with your bravery. I am available with small Daan, Yagya or Tapasyaa, so you ask any Var from me.

Hanumaan said - "Maheshwar, By the grace of Shree Raam I have got everything, but since you are pleased with me that is why I ask you something. My all people who have fallen unconscious and severed, so please you protect them till I come back. I am going to bring Drone Parvat. There are Sanjeevanee herb on that Parvat."

Hearing this Shankar said - "OK, You go."

Hanumaan went to bring Drone Parvat and here Shiv waited protecting Pushkal etc people. Hanumaan crossed over all Dweep (islands) and came to Ksheer Saagar. As he tried to pick the Drone Parvat up, it started trembling.

Devtaa said - "Why are you taking this, leave it alone?

Hanumaan said - "There is a battle going on in Veermani's city. Our many warriors have been killed in that battle. I am taking this Parvat to give them life. If you will stop me I will kill everyone of them. Either give me this Parvat or give me the herb so that I can bring them to life."
Hanumaan came to Pushkal and said to Sumati - "Now I will bring all dead warriors of the battlefield to life." And he put the herb on the chest of Pushkal and said - "If I consider Raam my Lord by mind, speech and action, then Pushkal should be alive." Pushkal immediately got up and asked about Veerbhadra. Hanumaan said - "Veerbhadra had killed you and you have got this life by the grace of Shree Ram. Shatrughn is still unconscious so let us go there." Hanumaan came to Shatrughn and kept the herb on his chest. He also got alive, and he also asked about Shiv. Thus Hanumaan brought all the dead alive.

Part-8
Ram appears at battleground

This time Veermani himself came to fight with Shatrughn. Shatrughn used Aagneya Astra, then Veermani used Varun Astra, then Shatrughn used Vaayavya Astra, then Veermani used Parvat Astra, and then Shatrughn used Vajra Astra. Now Veermani lost control and used Brahmaastra. Seeing Brahm Astra coming Shatrughn used Mohan Astra which made Brahmaastra useless and made the king unconscious. This caused Shiv to intervene and fight with Shatrughn. This time Shiv made Shatrughn uncomfortable, so at Hanumaan's advice he remembered Raam. As he remembered Him, He came there in the same guise in which He took Deekshaa. Shatrughn got surprised to see Him in the battlefield.

Seeing Him Shatrughn got relieved and Hanumaan fell on His feet. Shiv also greeted Him and said

shiv - "I did all this to do good to my devotee. Please pardon me for this. I come to you to protect my devotee. In earlier times, this king did Tapasyaa after taking bath in Kshipraa River in Mahaakaal temple. At that time I gave him Var that "you will rule in Devpur. And till Raam's Yagya horse will come there, I will live there. I am bound to that Var. Now my work is finished. He will hand over you your horse and from now on he will serve you."

Raam said - "All Devtaa's duty is to protect their devotees. Thus what you did, was your duty. Shiv is in my heart, and I am in Shiv's heart. We both are the same. Who think that we are different they fall in Narak. My Bhakt worship you, and your Bhakt worship me."


Then Shiv also brought all of them alive and asked them to surrender to Raam. Shree Raam got disappeared from there. Hey Muni, Do not consider Raam a human being, He is omnipresent. Shankar also bade farewell to his Bhakt and said to him

Shiv- "Getting Raam is very difficult in this world, that is why now you surrender to Raam."

After saying this Shiv also got disappeared with his Paarshad from there. Blessed was Veermani who got Darshan of Raam. Veermani also accompanied Raam's procession of Yagya horse.

PART-5
Disappearance of horse in a river

Then, one day, after coming to the shore of the River Reva, the horse jumped into the water and did not again come to the surface.The guardians of the horse were confused about what to do. Finally,Shatrughna arrived there. After hearing about what had happened, he entered the water, along with Pushkala and Hanuman.There, within the river, Shatrughna saw a beautiful city, having many nice gardens. He also saw Rama's horse, tied to a golden stake.Nearby was seen many excellent ladies, waiting upon another lady, who was seated upon a couch. When they saw Shatrughna and his companions, the ladies said to the queen, "These three will make excellent food for you. They are well-nourished, and so their blood will certainly be very sweet.Upon hearing this, the queen laughed. The three then approached the ladies, who shone brilliantly, and offered their respects.

The queen said- "Who are you, that have come here? My place is inaccessible, even to the demigods. One who comes here never returns. To whom does this horse belong? Please tell me everything.

Hanuman replied - "We are servants of the king, Lord Rama, to whom this horse belongs. The king is reparing to perform a horse-sacrifice. Now, you must release the horse. We are all skilled in the use of weapons and we are prepared to kill anyone who obstructs the horse's journey.

The queen laughed and said-"No one will be able to free this horse, kept by me. But, don't worry, for I am also a servant of Lord Rama. Since I now understand that the horse belongs to Rama, I consider myself to be an offender. I pray that Lord Rama will pardon me. Now, you can ask for a benediction, so that your king will be pleased with me.

Hanuman replied- "By Lord Rama's mercy, we find everything very nice. Still, I will ask this benediction. May we have Rama as our Lord, birth after birth.

Again the lady laughed and then said- "Whatever you desire will surely take place. Later on, King Viramani, under the protection of
Lord Shiva, will seize your horse. Now, you may take a wonderful weapon from me that will enable you to conquer that king. Shatrughna, you should fight with Viramani in a single combat, riding upon chariots. When you release this weapon, the king will realize Rama's true position and so voluntarily return the horse to you.

Shatrughna received that wonderful weapon from the queen. Thereafter, he took the challenge-horse and rose out of the water, onto the shore. Upon seeing this, all of the soldiers, who had waited by the side of the river, were highly delighted.


PART-6
Fight with Viramani and death of Puskal

After wandering at will for some time,the horse arrived at the vicinity of Devapura.This city was so opulent that even the houses of the ordinary citizens were made of silver.The king was named Viramani,and his son was Rukmangada.One day, Rukmangada went to the forest, surrounded by many beautiful women. In that enchanting atmosphere, some women pleased the prince by their dancing, others by their singing, and others by their affectionate embraces. Just at this time, the challenge-horse arrived there. Upon seeing the horse, the women requested, "My dear prince, capture this lovely horse. Look, there is a golden note on it's forehead." Rukmangada easily caught the horse with one hand, and then read the note to the ladies. After doing so, he said, "Who is this Rama? My father is the most powerful king, and he is protected by Lord Shiva. Take this horse to our stables, so that my father can perform the ashvamedha-yajna.Thereafter, the prince returned to the city, along with his wives, and then presented the horse to his father. Upon hearing of what had happened, King Viramani, being very intelligent, did not approve of the act. Indeed, the king thought that his son had acted like a thief. Taking the horse, Viramani then went to consult Lord Shiva.

Lord shiv- "Your son has done well. Today, there will be a great war, enabling me to see my Lord Rama, upon whom I always Meditate. Even though Rama is my Lord, I am still confident that even tne thirty-three crore devas would not be able to take the horse from you, because I am your protector.

Meanwhile, Shatrughna could not find the challenge-horse. He thus inquired from his minister, Sumati, who then informed him that the king of the region was Viramani. He also warned Shatrughna that the king was being personally protected by Lord Shiva.

While Sumati was thus speaking, King Viramani arranged his army,getting ready to fight with Shatrughna.Soon thereafter,Shatrughna saw the vast army approaching for battle.Sumati advised Shatrughna that Pushkala should fight with the king, so that he could engage with Lord Shiva.First, Rukmangada fought with Pushkala. After a fierce fight, Pushkala discharged a weapon that burnt Rukmangada's chariot and made the prince fall unconscious onto the battlefield. After witnessing his son's defeat, Viramani angrily approached Pushkala, desiring revenge. Hanuman rushed at Viramani, but Pushkala stopped him, saying that this enemy was too insignificant to worry about. Thus, Hanuman desisted and Pushkala went to encounter Viramani.

The king said-"You are but a child. Do not try to fight with me, for I am very angry and I am invincible in battle!

Pushkala replied-"You say that 1 am a child, but I say that you are an old man. I have already defeated your son, and now I shall knock you down from your chariot with my weapons.

A terrible battle ensued, with innumerable casualties on both sides. Pushkala and Viramani greatly afflicted one another with their weapons but at last, the king was struck in the chest with a powerful arrow, causing him to fall unconscious from his chariot. In this way, Pushkala again attained victory.Upon seeing the defeat of his devotees, Lord Shiva sent Virabhadra to fight with Pushkala, and Nandi to fight with Hanuman.After an intense fight, when Virabhadra broke his chariot, Pushkala dismounted. The two great warriors then fought with their fists. Indeed, the fight went on for many days, continuing throughout the day and night.On the fifth day, Virabhadra grabbed Pushkala and ascended to the sky, where the battle continued. Finally, Virabhadra threw Pushkala to the ground and then cut off his head with his trident,Puskala died

Part 3
The first fight in the journey

Shatrughn asked his people, "Who can face Daman?" Pushkal came forward to fight with Daman and Shatrughn sent him to fight with him. Both introduced themselves and started fighting. Pushkal was getting heavier for Daman. Daman's army was decreasing in number. Both were using Divine weapons - Aagneya Astra, Varun Astra etc. But once Pushkal shot an arrow which hit Daman's chest and he fell down. His Saarathee took him off the battle ground, and his people ran away from there. Seeing this Pushkal didn't hit anybody. Seeing Pushkal as a winner, Shatrughn got very happy."
When Subaahu heard that his army was killed, he asked his people as what was the matter. His people told him that Daman had caught Raam's horse and His nephew has defeated him. Hearing this Subaahu came to Shatrughn. Seeing Subaahu coming to them Shatrughn's army got ready to fight. With him came his brother Suketu and his sons Chitraang and Vichitra also. Subaahu fanned unconscious Daman for a while and then he came to his senses. As he woke up he asked - "Where is my bow? And where Pushkal has gone?" Subaahu made him sit on the chariot and asked his army chief to organize his army in Kraunch system."
Seeing Subaahu's ocean like army, Shatrughn asked Sumati - "In which kingdom we nave arrived? Its army seems great in number." Sumati said - "We have come in Chakraankaa Nagaree. Here live such people who have become sinless by worshipping Vishnu. King Subaahu is the King of the same city. He loves his own wife only and never looks at any other woman. He listens only Vishnu related stories, never any other one. He never takes more than 1/6th part of his people's income. He always worships Braahman. There is nobody like him in might. At this time he has come here hearing his son's fall.

Shatrughn said to his army - "Subaahu has organized his army in Kraunch Vyooh (manner), who among you can break this Vyooh?"


Lakshmeenidhi vowed to break the Vyooh and went to fight. Suketu, Subaahu's brother, was standing in front, Lakshmeenidhi introduced himself as the son of king Janak and asked him to return the Yagya horse to them. But Suketu started showering arrows on Bharat's army. Lakshmeenidhi also shot several arrows at Suketu, killed his horses, cut his flag, killed his Saarathee and broke Suketu's bow. Now Suketu climbed down from his chariot and came to Lakshmeenidhi carrying his Gadaa. Both fought with Gadaa. Once Suketu caught Lakshmeenidhi's Gadaa and he hit Lakshmeenidhi's chest with the same Gadaa. Seeing his Gadaa in enemy's hands, Lakshmeenidhi thought to fight with hands and both started fighting with hands only. Fighting like thus they both got fainted."

Now Chitraang, Subaahu's son, came to fight. Pushkal came to face him. Chitraang flew his chariot in the sky. When Pushkal came down on the ground, he destroyed Chitraang's chariot and got ready to shoot an arrow to kill Chitraang. Chitraang said - "People come and go, I am not worried about that, but if I had not destroyed your this arrow I should be considered sinner." Pushkal also said - "If I do not take your life with this arrow then I should be counted as a sinner, and if I have worshipped Shree Raam faithfully then my speech should prove true." and immediately he shot an arrow to cut Chitraang's head, but Chitraang cut that arrow. Everybody got surprised to see this, but the then another surprising thing happened. The hinder part of the cut arrow fell on the ground, and the front part of the arrow, in which the arrowhead was still there, proceeded and cut Chitraang's head.

Subaahu started lamenting for his son. At that time Princes Vichitra and Daman came and consoled him saying - "Do not grieve so much for him, he is blessed who is killed in battleground. Please order us to fight and you yourself also rise to fight." They all again started fighting. Hanumaan saw Subaahu fighting filled with anger, so he came quickly towards him. Subaahu shot some arrows but Hanumaan caught them in between and broke them in several pieces. He tied Subaahu's chariot by his tail and flew away carrying it. Subaahu tried to cut his tail but Hanumaan then hit Subaahu's chest with his foot. Subaahu fell down and got unconscious.

In the same unconscious state he saw Raam in dream that Raam was doing a Yagya at the shore of Sarayoo River. Many Rishi are present there, and whatever things are in this world all have been given by Raam. He woke up and walked towards Hanumaan. He asked his sons also to stop fighting. He said - "Stop this fight. It was very injustice that you caught Raam's horse. He is Brahm in person and is beyond action and reason. He is not human being in spite of being a human being. Knowing Him in this form is Brahm Gyaan. I have understood this Tattwa now. My knowledge was destroyed because of Asitaang Muni's Shaap.And so he surrendered to Shatrughna.


PART-4
Fight with Vidyunmaalee, A friend of Raavan

Now the horse came to Tejpur. There lived the king Satyavaan. Gangaa River was flowing there.As the horse entered the city, the King's servant informed the King that Raam's horse had come in the city. He said to himself, "Oh, Raam's horse has come in my city? Then Hanumaan Jee should also be there with him, so let me also go there." He ordered his minister to bring his all wealth and follow him. He came to Shatrughn, fell on his feet and offered everything to him. Thus Satyavaan also followed the horse.
Thus millions of chariots were going with Shatrughn, Hanumaan, Subaahu, and Satyavaan etc following Raam's horse, that a darkness fell around. Vidyunmaalee Raakshas came there with his army. He was Raavan's well wisher (he was Taarak's son). He stole the horse and after a while the darkness was gone. They asked one another, "Where is the horse?". As they were asking one another, that they saw Vidyunmaalee sitting on his Vimaan and other Raakshas were around him on their chariots. One soldier said to Shatrughn - "A Raakshas has caught the horse. Do whatever you can do." So he asked his minister again - "To who we should appoint to fight with this Raakshas?" Sumati said - "We have only Pushkal who can face him." Then Pushkal, Hanumaan including Shatrughn took vow to kill him and headed to fight with him.
Seeing them coming he said - "Oh, Where is Raam? He killed my friend. Today I will kill him and his brother and take revenge of Raavan's killing." Both parties started fighting. Pushkal felled Vidyunmaalee, so his brother Ugradhanashtra came and hit his trident in Pushkal's chest and he fell down. Seeing this Hanumaan got angry and fought with him. Then Shatrughn came there and used Mohan Astra to cut Raakshasee Maayaa. Then he used Vaayavya Astra which felled many other Raakshas. Then Vidyunmaalee used Paashupat Astra and Shatrughn used Naaraayan Astra which pacified all other Astra of Raakshas. Seeing this Vidyunmaalee used his trident which Shatrughn cut in a moment and then cut his neck also. Seeing his brother killed Ugradanshtra ran towards Shatrughn, but Shatrughn killed him also. After both Raakshas were killed their soldiers returned the horse."

PART-1
(Ram prepares for ashmedh Yagna and let loose the horse)

One day, the great sage, Agastya, came to see Lord Rama at His royal court.

Ram-"You are a great ascetic, what can I do for you? Today we all have become cleansed by your coming here."

Agastya replied-"Your Darshan is difficult even to Devtaa, that is why I have come here. Seeing you here my all sins are destroyed."

During their conversation, Lord Rama expressed His great unhappiness at having killed Ravana, due to his being the son of a brahmana.

Ram said-"Hey Vipravar, No Braahman has ever heard a harsh word from Ikshwaaku family's person, and I killed them? Braahman are the roots to bear Ved tree and I have killed such Braahman family, what should I do to repent?"

Agastya replied-"You are beyond Prakriti, you are Parameshwar, you are the Creator, you are the sustainer and you are the destroyer. Even the greatest sinner's sins are washed away by taking your name only. Whoever does Ashwamedh Yagya, his all sins are washed away. You are omnipotent, so you also do Ashwamedh Yagya."

Ram then asks the method for doing ashmedh yagna. What type of horse should be in this Yagya? What is the method of worship? And whom should be won for it?

Agastya Jee said - "Whose color is shining like Gangaa water and ear are black, mouth is red and tail is of yellow color, that horse is good for the Yagya. Write a letter on Vaishaakh Maas Poornimaa, such that it should describe your name and grace. Tie it on the forehead of the horse and leave him to wander around. He should be protected very well. If somebody takes him forcefully, it is guards' duty to bring him back from them. The Yagya doer should stay back in his city in a disciplined way until the horse comes back. He should always hold a horn of a deer. He should donate grains and wealth for one year. A beggar wants whatever thing, the Yagya doer should give him the same thing. Do this Yagya, it should destroy your all sins."

Rama agreed to this proposal and then asked Agastya to go to His stables and select a suitable horse. Thereafter, all of the necessary paraphernalia was collected. Rama then accompanied Agastya Rishi to the banks of the River Sarayu. There, Rama used a golden plough to prepare the sacrificial arena, and many palatial buildings were constructed. All of the great sages were then invited. Being extremely eager to see Lord Rama- Narada, Asita, Parvata, Kapila, Angira, Vyasa, Atri, Yajnavalkya, and Sukadeva, as well as numerous others, soon arrived at Ayodhya. Lord Rama gave them all gifts of cows and gold.Later, as they were all seated together, Lord Rama questioned the great sages, and they, in turn, gave Him instructions on various subjects.After some days, Vasishtha Muni informed Rama that the proper time for releasing the challenge-horse had arrived. Rama then ordered Lakshman to bring a suitable horse. In turn, Lakshmana spoke to the military commanders, instructing them to be ready to depart, for the Protection of the challenge-horse.The commander-in-chief, Kalajit, then brought the horse to be sacrificed. This horse was decorated very nicely, and the necessary rituals were performed

The horse was brought to Yagya Mandap. Agastya Jee was appointed as Brahmaa, Vaalmeeki Jee was appointed as Adhwaryu and Kanv Rishi was appointed as the gatekeeper. Yagya Mandap had eight gates and there were two Braahmans at each gate. On eastern gate were Deval and Asit Rishi, on southern gate were Kashyap and Atri Rishi, on western gate were Jaatookarnya and Jaajali Rishi, and on northern gate were Dwit and Ekat Muni.Then women came and worshipped the horse, Vashishth Jee tied the letter which was made of gold, on his forehead.
The letter read
"Our Raam is a great archer and is the Lord of Raghu Vansh. He is starting Ashwamedh Yagya, so he sends this horse around. Shatrughn who has killed Lavanaasur is the guard of this horse. Whoever king is proud of his bravery and might, let him come and dare to catch this horse and challenge Shatrughn."

Rama ordered Shatrughna to follow the horse, and defeat anyone who would attempt to capture it.
Finally, the horse was let loose.Bharata's son, Pushkala, accepted a sword from Lord Rama's hand and took up his position, guarding Shatrughna's rear. At this time, Rama requested Hanuman to also go and protect Shatrughna. Jaambvaan, Angad, Mayand, Sugreev, Nal, Neel etc Vaanar also got ready to go with that horse. Then Raam asked His Commander of army to suggest some other names who could go with the horse and sent all those people also along with the horse. Shatrughn went to his mother Sumitraa and asked her permission to go with the horse.

Sumitraa said - "Go, and be successful. Protect your nephew Pushkal. He is very religious."

Thus then there journey started and Ashwamedhna yagna began


PART-2
The Journey of Horse
The horse started his journey. He headed towards east. Bharat's son Pushkal went to his palace, asked permission from his wife Kaantimatee, and instructed her to behave properly with all elder and young women. She gave him his bow, two quivers, armor, crown and two earrings to wear and worshipped him. Then he took permission from his mother Maandavee and started on his journey. Shatrughn heard the praise of his brother Raam at several places. After the praising Raam, they used to give him costly clothes. jewelry etc. Raam had a minister whose name was Sumati, he was also following Shatrughn. The horse was going through Paanchaal, Kuru, Uttarkuru and Dashaarn etc countries.
Traveling thus they came to Ahichchhatraa Nagaree which was very beautiful and was decorated with various things. Its king was Sumad. There were many beautiful gardens, so the Yagya horse entered one of the forests and others followed him. There they saw a temple.

Shatrughn asked Sumati - "O Minister, Tell me whose temple is this? And why this Devtaa is here?"

Sumati knew everything, he said - "This is Kaamaakshaa Devee temple. She came here on the request of king Sumad. She fulfills all wishes for everybody so you also do Pranaam to her."

Shatrughn did Pranaam to her and asked what Punya Sumad did so that Devee came here.

Sumati continued- After his parents had been killed by rival kings, Sumada went to the forest and performed severe austerities, while meditating upon Goddess Bhavani (the wife of LordShiva).Being afraid of the strength of his tapasya, Indra sent Cupid, along with many Apsaras, to obstruct him. But, it came to be that, even in the presence of the celestial damsels, the king did not waver in his determination. At last, goddess Kamakshi appeared to the king and advised him that, in the future, when Lord Rama's brother would come to his kingdom, while following a challenge-horse, he should accompany him after giving his all his kingdom wealth e.t.c. this is how in the end he would attain moksha.

Shatrughna was delighted to hear this. Meanwhile, seated in his court, King Sumada heard from a messenger that a challenge-horse had come to his city. The king had always been thinking,When will the challenge-horse of Lord Rama come here, as predicted by goddess Kamakshi?The king arranged for a very royal reception for Shatrughna and his entourage. When they met, King Sumada placed Shatrughna and Pushkala on an elephant, so that they could enter the city in style.
After remaining for three nights, Shatrughna again set out, following the challenge-horse. The horse proceeded through areas inhabited by numerous sages, and so Shatrughna could hear everywhere the glories of his elder brother being sung.One day, the horse entered the ashram of Cyavana Muni. When Shatrughna entered the hermitage, he saw Cyavana, seated next to Sukanya. Shatrughna introduced himself as the brother of Lord Rama. In the course of their conversation, Shatrughna invited Cyavana to Rama's ashvamedha-yajna, and he ordered Hanuman to carry the sage to Ayodhya.
Horse continued his journey and others followed him. Horse arrived in Ratnaatat named city of King Vimal. King Vimal immediately came to see Shatrughn and said - "What can I do for you?" Shatrughn embraced him and Vimal handed over his kingdom to his son and accompanied the horse procession.
The horse proceeded again. Several million (Crore) people were guarding him. Now he came to Chakraankaa Nagaree. Its King's son Daman was wandering for hunting. He saw the horse adorned with golden letter and sandalwood paste. Daman opened the letter, read it and thought, "Who is this proud man who is greater than my father? Today I will teach him a good lesson." So he sent the horse to his city and he himself came to fight. In the meantime Raam's army arrived there looking for the horse, and when they didn't see the horse, King Prataapaagraya saw Daman's army facing for fight. His people said to him, "Maybe this man has taken our horse.", so Prataapaagraya sent his servant who asked Daman - "Where is Shree Raam's horse? Who has taken him? Doesn't he know Shree Raam?"

Prince Daman said - "I have taken him, and whoever wants to fight with me, he can fight with me and take his horse."

Both armies started fighting. Daman shot an arrow which felled Prataapaagaya, and then he waited for Shatrughn. Prataapaagraya's Saarathee took him off the battleground. People reported this to Shatrughn. When Shatrughn came to know about this he became very angry and asked - "Who has taken our horse and who has defeated Prataapaagraya?" His servants said - "King Subaahu's son Daman has taken out horse."

А что показывают?
Слёзы и эмоции


Ролик снимался во время войны. Сита - больно худая. А вот Гурмит.. А Гурмит в Уттара Канде - точная копия незабвенного НТР. Сказывается южно-индийский опыт...

Рабочее - проматываем

In Valmiki, Lakshman accompanies the horse. No battle takes place.
In Padma Puran, Shatrughan accompanies the horse, not as ruler of Mathura, but as prince of Ayodhya, and is accompanied here by Subahu and Yutaketu (the name of his other son here, don't remember it exactly, Valmiki had that son as Shatrughatee). During this trip, the war with Lavanasura takes place which is fought by both Shatrughan and his sons vs Lavana and his. Ultimately, Lavana and his sons are all killed, Shatrughan installs his sons Subahu and the other as the ruler of Mathura and Vidisha, and continues travelling with the horse, until he is accosted by Luv and Kush.
In Bhavabhuti, Chandraketu accompanies the horse, the manner that Vibs described.
Frankly, I believe Valmiki - Kush & Luv weren't involved in any battles.


And I think Bharat establishes the kingdoms for his sons after the AY. And so does Lakshman for his sons. I think throughout except Shatrughan, the other three brothers are together. And Ram sent for Shatrughan from Mathura when he decided to merge in the Sarayu, meaning B&L were with him. Correct me if I am wrong.

As per Valmiki, you are partly correct. Lakshman is done in by the combination of Ka'al and Durvasha, and after Rama, in lieu of executing him, disowns him, he goes to the Sarayu and in a meditative trance passes away, and Indra carries his body back to Vaikuntha. Rama, despite disowning Lakshman, is distraught at his demise and announces that he's stepping down, and invites Bharat to take over. Bharat declines, and instead suggests that Kush be given Uttar Kosala and Luv Dakshin Kosala. That is hastily done, and the 2 are quickly sent away to Kushavati and Shravasti.
After this, a message is sent to Shatrughan with the details, and the info that Rama is stepping down. Shatrughan hastily installs Subahu at Mathura and Shatrughatee in Vidisha, and returns to Ayodhya to join Rama and Bharat. The rest is history.


And Vibs - does the KR have Uttar kand as well or is it only till the Pattabhishekam?

By KR, if you mean Kamban, I read that he openly said that the UttarRamayan breaks his heart, and therefore, he was not including it in the narration. At least, that's what the intro of the Sagar Uttarkand 20 years ago had it.


And truly the cartoon Sita does not merge with the character of real Sita. But then, even if the praja had sought an apology from Sita without her going thro any ordeal, I doubt if she would have accepted to be their queen. The main reason for the praja was that they did not accept the result when the test was not conducted in front of their eyes. If she had gone thro another agnipariksha in front of avadh praja, maybe they would accept her. But again, if Ayodhya accepts, there maybe rumours elsewhere. How many times would she have to prove herself? People did not realise that a proof is a proof, be it once or many times. But Sita had realised this, and the moment she was asked to prove the second time, she PROVED it...period!



Your guess is as good as mine, but it would boil down to the question of whether Sita wanted Rama more than she didn't want to be queen of Ayodhya. I tend to think that if the prajas, for whatever reason, had raised no more questions (say they believed the sung version of Valmiki from her kids, or say the Bhavabhuti version is right and they saw her relieve Rama) and Rama had invited her back, she'd have accepted it, as it would have given her back her Rama. I don't believe she liked leaving for Rasootal, but her choices were pretty much forced on her.

Из серии "Прикладная индоэпосология"
Предлагаю вашему вниманию трактат о нечисти индийского эпоса. Который заканчивается прелестной иллюстрацией к "Рамаяне".

Indian Vampires
Удивительно, но в фолклере Индии тоже есть место для кровососущех существ...


Среди огромного количество божества и сверхъестественных существ, обнаруженных в религиозном мире Индии, был ряд таких, которые обладали характеристиками вампира и были отмечены в литературе о вампирах Но все же это огромное количество разнообразных демонических существ больше напоминало духов, вурдалаков, а также живых ведьм и колдунов Индийские вампиры и вампирические существа появлялись уже в древних индийских текстах, что дало предлог некоторым исследователям полагать, что Индия была тем самым местом, где возникла вера в вампиров и откуда она распространилась на соседние территории Вполне оправдано предположение, что веский вклад в формирование на Западе веры в вампиров внесли переселившиеся из Индии цыгане.



В древнем индуизме (господствующей религии Индии) сотворение изображается как первичное творение золотого яйца (космического разума) Видимое сотворение произошло из разделения этого яйца на небеса землю и на 21 регион космоса. Эти регионы космоса были грубо поделены на три зоны, одной из которых была Тала — подземное царство хтонических божеств, жилье великанов-людоедов, призраков и демонов.



Наиболее известными из вампирических существ Тала были ракшасас (женский аналог ракшасис) Они описывались как хтонические существа и демоны, которые живут на кладбищах и вмешиваются в дела людей, нарушая ритуалы и сбивая с пути набожных людей Убийстве младенцев было одним из их самых отвратительных деяний. Ракшасасы приходили в различных формах, иногда как женщины, а иногда как мужчины, некоторые как гуманоиды, а некоторые как полуживотные. Сообразно легенде Хануман — божество, которое появлялось в образе обезьяны, придя в город Ланка в качестве посланника Рамама, наблюдало ракшасасов в любой вообразимой форме Характеристика ракшасасов была дана во многих индийских эпосах, таких как Махабхарата и Рамаяна (в которой содержался эпизод с Хануманом), а многие божества и мифические герои заслужили себе славу, убивая ракшасаса..



Ракшасасы считались вампирами в силу некоторых своих черт. Положим, они рыскали в ночи, имели устрашающую внешность и продолговатые клыки В текстах их называли асра - па или асрк ра Дословно: пьющие кровь). Как и греческие ламии, они разыскивали беременных женщин и нападали на младенцев. Естественным врагом ракшасасов был Агни — изгонитель тьмы и исполнитель священного обряда Люди призывали Агни, чтобы он убивал или отпугивал демонов. Тесно ассоциировались с ракшасасами йату-дхана (или хату-дхана) - колдуны, которые пожирали остатки, брошенные ракшасасами. Иногда гермин йату дхана использовался попеременно с ракшасасом. Также нередко совместно с ракшасасом, упоминался гшсачас Дословно пожиратель живой плоти), но он занимал более низкую ступень в иерархии существ. Он обладал отвратительной, отталкивающей и кровожадной внешностью. Тексты описывали писачас как вурдалаков, поедающих плоть и разносящих опасную хворь. В Пуране — сборнике индуистских документов - писачас писывались как продукт гнева бога Брахмы:



После создания богов, демонов (асуров, предков и человечества. Брахма был истощен, а они стали поедать его тело, так как они были ракшасасами и йаксасами. Когда Брахма увидел их, он был недоволен, и выпали волосы его и стали змеями. А когда увидел он змей, охватил его гнев, и существа, рожденные от его гнева, были злобными поедателями плоти — писачасами. Так Брахма создал жестоких тварей и добрых тварей дхарма и адхарма, правду и ложь.



Вампирическими чертами обладали также и бхута — души умерших, особенно тех, кто скончался безвременно, был безумен или родился с уродствами. Они скитались в ночи и появлялись как темные тени, мерцающие огни или неясные видения. Иногда они входили в мертвое тело и делали его вурдалаком, который пожирал живущих. Брахмапаруша - подобное создание, известное в северной Индии.



Бхутасы жили вокруг тех мест, где происходило сожжение (кремация), в развалинах и других заброшенных местах, и в пустыне. Они могли трансформироваться либо в сов, либо в летучих мышей. Сова занимает особое место в индийской мифологии. Считалось несчастьем услышать вопль совы, а вопль совы, услышанный на кладбище, предвещал смерть. Мясо совы могло использоваться в ритуалах черной магии.

Бхутасы считались опасными по множеству причин. Они поедали отвратительную пищу и беспрестанно испытывали жажду. Они любили молоко и могли напасть на младенцев, которых только что покормили. Они могли войти в тело сквозь различные отверстия и овладеть человеком. И хотя бхутасы могли иногда действовать как вампиры, в основном их рассматривали как злобных существ.



Наиболее близки к западным вампирам индийские демонические фигуры веталасы, или бетайласы, — духи, которые поселялись в телах умерших и оживляли их. Бстайл был центральным персонажем «Вегала-Пачиси» — классического образца индийской литературы, сравнимого с «Притчами» Чосера или «Арабскими ночами». Впервые они переведены и опубликованы в Англии в середине века. Новый, самый успешный перевод одиннадцати из них был сделан сэром Ричардом ф. Бартоном и опубликован в 1870 году под заголовком «Викрам и вампир». «Ветала-Пачиси» описывали встречу короля Викрама с бетайлом, который рассказал ему серию сказок. Викрам, как и король Артур, был реальным человеком, который жил в первом веке нашей эры и стал притягательной фигурой для множества сказаний и притч.



В книге йог уговаривает Викрама провести с ним вечер на кладбище. Затем он просит Викрама принести ему тело, которое он найдет на расстоянии четырех миль к югу, на другом месте захоронения. Это тело должно было висеть на дереве мимозы. Тело оборачивается бетайлом. И Викрам испытывает большие трудности, чтобы заставить вампира сопровождать его обратно к йогу, но в конце концов ему удается это сделать. Чтобы скоротать обратный маршрут, бетайл рассказывает ему целую серию рассказов, которые и формируют книгу. (кстати говоря, у меня она есть в электронном виде, на английском. кто желает - обращайтесь)



Bemana или байтал — индийский упырь, каким его изображал сэр Ричард Бартон

Когда они добираются до кладбища, где находится йог, король обнаруживает, что тот вызывает Кали. Они были окружены полчищем демонов индийской мифологии, включая ракшасасов и бхутасов, которые приняли вид различных тварей, а также бетайлами. Йог привел их к храму богини Кали. Там Викрам, защищаясь, убивает йога. В качестве награды боги даруют ему славу.

Обзор индийских вампрических существ был бы не полон без упоминания богини Кали, которую нередко называют супругой Шивы. Она была богиней тьмы; на рисунках обычно изображалась темнокожей. У нее была ужасная, устрашающая внешность, а в качестве украшений она носила части человеческих тел. Ее любимым местом были ноля сражений, где она пьянела от крови жертв, а также места захоронений / сожжений. В книге «Викрам и вампир» Викрам видит Кали в храме, расположенном па кладбище:




Там стояла Смашани-Кали - богиня в самой своей чудовищной форме. Это была обнаженная и очень черная женщина с наполовину рассеченной головой, частично отрезанной и частично раскрашенной, покоившейся ни ее плечах. Ее глаза были красные как у пьяницы, а брови были того же цвета. Ее грубые жесткие волосы свисали, как накидка, до колен.

Бартон комментирует этот отрывок:

«Будучи не в состоянии найти жертву, эта приятная богиня дли того, чтобы удовлетворить свою жажду, перерезала собственное горло, чтобы кровь могли просочиться в ее рот».



Другие вампирические существа. По всей Индии среди различных этнических и лингвистических групп существовало огромное количество привидений, злых духов, демонов, которые жили неподалеку от кладбища и мест кремации и имели некоторое сходство с вампирами Европы. Многие из них дурачили других, принимая облик живого человека, и обретали опять ужасную демоническую внешность непосредственно перед нападением на свои жертвы. Положим, в Гуджарате существовали чурелы — женщины, которые умерли неестественной смертью (в западной Индии чурела была также известна как джахин, джахаи, яукаи, пагулаи и алвантин). Если с такой женщиной плохо обращалась семья, то она возвращалась, чтобы потревожить их и иссушала кровь мужчин этой семьи. Такая женщина могла стать дакини — помощницей богини Кали, а также участницей ее вампирических деяний. Если молодой человек был соблазнен чурелий и притрагивался к пище, которую она ему предлагала, то она держала его при себе до самого рассвета и возвращала в деревню седым старцем. У чурелы была одна необыкновенность, которая выдавала ее, — се стопы были вывернуты таким образом, что пятки были спереди, а пальцы сзади.



Рожавшим женщинам и младенцам вся семья и друзья уделяли массу внимания. Женщина, умершая во время родив, вероятнее всего превращалась в привидение. И чтобы предотвратить это, семья должна была похоронить ее тело, а не предать его кремации. Они должны были закрепить четыре гвоздя по углам места захоронения и посадить красные цветы на самой могиле. Женщину, которая умерла во время родов, хоронили в специальном месте (в различных частях Индии это место отличалось). Положим, тело могли выносить из дома через боковую дверь и похоронить в тени дома, которую он отбрасывал при полуденном солнце. Верили, что если не пользоваться центральным входом для выноса тела, то чурела не сможет найти дорогу домой. Некоторые вбивали железные гвозди в порог дома и рассыпали семена проса но дороге к кладбищу. Как и в Восточной Европе, считалось, что чурела будет считать семена проса, a это занятие задерживает ее до самого наступления рассвета. В Пенджабе женщине, которая умирала во время родов, вбивали гвозди в кисти рук и стопы, прикладывали алый перец к глазам и обматывали стопы цепями. Другие же ломали ей ноги повыше лодыжек, разворачивали стопы обратно и связывали большие пальцы совместно или же просто скрепляли стопы железными кольцами.



Среди самых интересных вампиров были чепиди (литературно: проститутки) — разновидность колдуньи в области Годовари. Чепиди изображались разъезжающими верхом на тигре в ночи. Без одежды они входили в дома спящих мужчин и высасывали их кровь из большого пальца ноги. Используя гипноз, они погружали всех остальных членов семьи в сон, сходственный трансу, для того, чтобы те не смогли обнаружить их присутствия. По утру мужчина просыпался, но чувствовал себя опустошенным и в какой-то мере отравленным. Если он не обращался за лечением, то чепиди опять возвращалась. Иногда чениди нападала на мужчин в джунглях, принимая образ тигра с человеческими ногами.



Девендра П. Варна предположил, что вампирические существа древней Индии являются источниками верований в вампиров в Европе. Он утверждал, что такие верования были перенесены арабскими караванами, следовавшими по Великому Шелковому пути из долины Инда к Средиземноморскому бассейну. Возможно, они достигли Греции в I веке нашей ары. Подобное изъяснение вполне допустимо, если бы не надобно было развивать его более глубоко, чтобы как-то увязать с другими теориями, которые предлагают обилие версий происхождения мифа о вампире в различных странах, удовлетворяющих целому ряду универсальных потребностей.




Baital
Индийский вампир, более естественная форма - получеловек - полулетучая мышь, высотой примерно в полтора метра.



Bhuta

И все сказали : "Ах!!!"

Предлагаю вашему вниманию ещё один эпизод, заслуживший шквальные аплодисменты и получивший титул "mind blowing".
Классическая индийская драма.
Рамачандра, вернувшись из похода по деревням Айодхьи, сильно расстроен (ну это мягко сказано. Психанул он ещё так!(со швырянием тюрбана, громами и молниями))

Так расстроен, что весь дворец лихорадит. И объяснению надо произойти.





Sita is crying in her room. Ram comes there.
Ram - Sitey, you are crying?
Sita - Even you are crying, swami.
Ram wipes his tears.
Sita - Swami, I am worried why you are so sad. Before this, I never saw you so disturbed. You took everybody's pain upon yourself but never share your problems with others. Let me know why you are so worried.
Ram - I am not worried, Sita. I pray to God that in every birth, I should get you as my wife, who is my companion in both happiness in sorrow. Site, promise me that you will always be with me.
Sita - I am with you every moment. Please tell me why you are so sad. Tell me who has wronged you. Is it me?
Ram does not say anything and walks away feeling sad. Sita looks on shocked.

Precap - Ram tells his brothers that one of them should become the king so that Ram and Sita can spend their lives in jungle with rishis. He tells Bharat that he (Bharat) is an expert in looking after the kingdom and, therefore, he should do that job. Ram's brothers are shocked to hear this.

Both Gurmit and Debina acted excellently today.
