Что же показали сегодня, 18-го июня?

Сегодня показали встречу Ситы и Ханумана. Море слёз - не дадим Ганге пересохнуть!
Махарадж терзает себя вопросом, а справедливо ли он поступил по отношению к Сите, вдовствующая царица, как всегда, "вскрывает нарывы" на радость сыну, а Лакшман... А Лакшман во всеуслышание заявил, что по отношению к Сите было совершено преступление. Бедный Лакшман. Я, честно признаюсь, очень люблю этот персонаж Рамаяны. Но не в исполнении Анкита Ароры.( Хотя люблю его стать)



uv and Kush are going back to Valmiki ashram. Hanuman meets them on the way.
Hanuman - I thought of accompanying you till the ashram.
Kush - If you have come on behalf of Ayodhya naresh Sri Ram, then we do not need your help.
(There was no need of this dialog. It was unnecessarily rude.)
Hanuman - But I am your friend. I went with you till the swarn kamal. I think you do not need my friendship.(I had written wrongly earlier.)
Luv - No, no there is nothing like that. You can come with us.

Hanuman flies with Luv and Kush on his shoulders. Luv and Kush are happy that they will reach soon.
Luv - Bhaiya, we have to get down here. Otherwise, there will be big problem.
Luv and Kush insist that they will go further by walking. Hanuman comes down.
Hanuman - Will you not let me meet your mother?
LK - No, our mother must be sleeping now.
Luv and Kush run to the ashram.

Sita - You came back?
Kush - How could we live without you? Ma, you did not ask how Ayodhya is?
Sita - How is it?
LK - Very beautiful. It is very big. When we sang Ramayan, then there was a huge crowd and everybody had tears in his eyes. After that we were invited to the rajdarbar.
Sita - Did you meet your father?
LK - Yes and we were given royal honour. We met everybody there - uncles, aunts, rajmatas, guru Vashishth and Vishwamitra.
Sita - Nobody said anything after hearing the story?
LK - We did not recite the complete story. We said that we would recite the rest of the story tomorrow.
Sita - Nobody tried to stop you?
LK - They did but we said that we did not have permission to stay there and we had to go back to our mother.
Sita - Why did you not accept their hospitality?
LK - How could we stay in a place where our mother was insulted?
Sita hugs them.
LK - Ma, we are hungry.
Sita - I will prepare something for you.
LK go to meet Valmiki rishi.
Sita thinks - Swami, how are you? Are you happy on meeting your sons?

Ram is in pensive mood in Ayodhya.
Kaushalya - Ram, you still did not sleep?
Ram - Ma, I am very disturbed. I feel that whatever happened with Sita was not right.
Kaushalya - There was nothing in my hand because I was only a rajmata. But being a woman, I can understand Sita's plight.
Ram - Ma, I forgot everything else when it came to raj-dharm. But I could not do justice to Sita.
Kaushalya - Ram, you always gave maximum importance to raj-dharm in your life. But I was not bound by raj-dharm. I could have stopped Sita. But I do not know what happened to me that I did not do anything.
Ram - Ma, time is very strong and nobody has control over it.
Kaushalya - Ayodhyavasis were saying so many things against Sita. Now they are repenting. But I am repenting because we cannot return to Sita so many important years of her life.

(Thanks to Chandraketu for pointing out that I had missed some parts. I am including those below.)
In Ayodhya, some men are sad over what happened to Sita.
Women - Why are you sad now when you yourselves were saying so many things about Maharani Sita.
One person - But this was Maharaj Sri Ram's decision. What could we do about it?
Women - But if the people of Ayodhya had not said so many things against Maharani Sita, then Maharaj would not have taken such a decision.
They decide - We all should meet Maharaj and request that we should search for Maharani Sita and bring her back with full honour. All of the subjects should demand this from Maharaj. But the problem is that we all are not of the same opinion.

In the palace, Bharat, Laxman, Shatrughan, Urmila, Mandavi, Shrutkirti are discussing.
Shrutkirti - How could we not understand didi's pain?
Laxman - I myself left bhabhi in the forest. That bhabhi who was with bhaiya in the forst for 14 years.
Shatrughan - Bhabhi was like a mother to us.
Mandavi - When didi was going, then she was pregnant. What was the fault of her would be children?
Bharat - This is our fate that we have to see this day.
Laxman - No bhaiya, this is not the fault of our fate but this is our fault. The crime was done by us and in this palace. Today, when those boys rejected the food, then I realized what crime we did. There is only one repentance that bhabhi should be brought back with honour.

Hanuman secretly enters Valmiki ashram. Luv sees his tail and understands that it is Hanuman. But Kush says that Luv must be mistaken. Hanuman hides on top of a tree and when he find chance, then he goes to Sita.
Hanuman - Pranam maiya
Sita is happy to see him.
Sita - Son Hanuman, you here?
Hanuman - I am blessed to have seen you. My eyes were eager to see you.
Sita - How did you know that I am here?
Hanuman - When I saw Luv and Kush fighting with yuvraj Bharat, then I understood that they could not be ordinary boys. Then I felt that they are your and prabhu Sri Ram's sons. Today I got the good fortune to meet you.
Sita - How is swami?
Hanuman - You are in forest. Prabhu is in palace but his heart is in forest. I am so helpless that I cannot say to anybody that I met you.
Sita - Pavanputra, this is because time is cruel now.
Hanuman - Yes, mother. The Hanuman, who could cross the sea to find your whereabouts, is so helpless now. I know that you are here. But I cannot say anything to anybody.
Sita - Hanuman, you do not have to do anything. My swami will do whatever is to be done.
Hanuman hears Luv and Kush's voice.
Hanuman - Mother, now I should leave.
Sita - Son Hanuman, do not tell anybody that I am here.
Hanuman - Do not worry, mother. This son of yours knows his duty well.
Hanuman leaves.

Эпизод от 17 июня

разбит аж на 5 частей. И что самое неприятное - аудио отстаёт от видео. Но где наша не пропадала! Смотрите Рама- катху в исполнении Лава и Куша. Дворцовый ремикс.



Часть предпоследняя - более менее синхронная. Гурмит, как всегда, в образе, народ рукоплещет.



И беседа Рамачандры с Хануманом:



Ram - I am proud that in this kingdom, there are brave and talented boys like Luv and Kush. I request gurudev to honour them.
Vashishth honours Luv and Kush as befitting rishi-kumars.
LK -
om sri ganeshaya riddhi siddhi sahitaya namah
om satyam shivam shivani sahitaya namah
pitri-matri namah pujya guruvar namah
raja gurujan prajaha sarve sadar namah
vinavadini sharde rakho hamara dhyan
samyak vani sur svar hamko karo pradan

Luv and Kush salute everybody present there.
Sabko vinay paranam, sabse anumati maang
Luv, Kush ne chheda saras Ram katha ka raag

LK sing -
Hum katha sunate Ram sakal gun gram ki
Hum katha sunate Ram sakal gun gram ki
Ye Ramayan hai punya katha Sri Ram ki
Ram bhadra ke sabhi vansh-dhar
Vachan parayan dharm-dhurandhar
Kahe unki katha bhumi Ayodhya dhaam ki
Yahi janm-bhumi hai purushottam gun-gram ki
Yahi janm-bhumi hai purushottam gun-gram ki
Ye Ramayan hai punya katha Sri Ram ki
Ye Ramayan hai punya katha Sri Ram ki

Chaitra shukl navami tithi aayi
Madhya divas mein Ram ko laayi
Bankar Kaushalya ke lala
Prakat hue Hari param-kripala
Ram ke sang jo bhrata aaye
Lakhan, Bharat, Shatrughn kahaye

Guru Vashishth se charon bhaayi
Alp kaal mein vidya sab paayi
Munivar Vishvamitra padhare
Maange Dashrath ke nij taare
Bole Ram-Lakhan vidhiyan hain hamare kaam ki
Hum katha sunate purushottam gun-gram ki
Ye Ramayan hai punya katha Sri Ram ki

In flashback it is shown that Ram and Lakshman go with Vishwamitra, kill monsters and reach Mithila to attend Sita's swayamvar.
Background song -
Sabke hriday adhir kar bharkar kash mein teer
Chal diye Vishwamitra sang Lakhan aur Raghuvir
Pratham hi Ram tadaka mari, ki muni ashram ki rakhvayi
Baan marich ko mara, sat yojan gira sagar para
Vyathit Ahilya ka kiya pad-raj se kalyan
Pahunche Raghuvar Janak-kul karke ganga-snan

LK continue
Siya ka bhavya swayamvar hai
Siya ka bhavya swayamvar hai
Sabki drishti mein naam Ram ka
Siya ka bhavya swayamvar hai
Janak-raj ka kathin pran
Charan rahe sunaye
Bhang kare jo Shiv dhanush
Le vahi siye ko paaye
Vishvamitra ka ingit paya
Sahaj Ram ne dhanush uthaya
Bhed kisi ko hua na gyat
Kab Shiv dhanush toda Raghunath
Nikat vriksh ke aa gayi beli
Siya Ram jaymaal ur veli

Sundar shashvat abhinav jodi
Jo upma di jaye so thodi
Kare dono dhumil kaanti koti kaam ki
Hum katha sunate purushottam gun-gram ki
Ye Ramayan hai punya katha Siya Ram ki

Background song says that the all present there become absorbed in Luv, Kush's song. Luv and Kush describe in detail how Ram, Sita and Lakshman had to go on exile and what all happened in the forest including how Ram came back to Ayodhya, was crowned as king; Sita had to go on exile
Background song
Sabko dubokar Ram ke ras mein
Luv, Kush ne kiye jan-man vash mein
Aage katha padhate jaayein
Jo kuchh ghata sunate jaayein

Kaise hui vidhina ki drishti vakra
Saphal hua Kaikeyi ka kuchakra
Ram Sita Lakhan ka van-gaman
Viyog mein Dashrath maran

Chitrakut aur Panchvati
Jahan jahan jo jo ghatna ghati
Savistar sab katha sunake
Luv, Kush ruke Ayodhya aake

Gaya vijay ka parv manaye
Ram ko Avadh naresh banaya
Niyati kaal aur praja ne milkar
Aisa jaal bichhaya
Do avibhajya aatmaon par
Samay bichhoh ka aaya

LK-
Avadh ke vasi kaise atyachari
Ram, Siya ke madhya rachi sandeh ki ek chingari
Kalanki kar di nishkalank divya naari
Chintit Siya aayi na koi aanch pati samman par
Neerav rahe Maharaj bhi Siya ke van-prasthan par
Mamtamayi mataon ke mathe par pala pad gaya
Gurudev, gurujan sab ke mukh pe jaise tala pad gaya
Siya ko Lakhan bitha ke rath mein
Chhod aaye kaanto ke path mein

I did not like change of voice in between. The songs which describe the incidents in Ram's story should have all been in one voice (that of Luv and Kush). Other songs e.g. those saying how LK's songs affected the audience could be in another voice. But in a few places, even the songs describing the past incidents were in another voice.

When Luv and Kush desribe how Sita was exiled, then all present there start crying.
LK - After that, devi Sita went to the forest. She met a divine personality there.
Vashisth - Sons Luv, Kush, will you tell who that divine personality was?
LK keep quiet.
Ram - Who was that divine personality?
LK - You will have to wait till tomorrow to hear that part.
Ram - Why?
LK - It is sunset. We will recite the rest of the story tomorrow.
Ram - I am eager to hear the story.
LK - Maharaj, we are bound by gurudev's rules. We cannot recite what happened after that. We have to go to gurukul.
Ram - You have to come tomorrow. Stay tonight in the palace. I will make arrangements for your stay.
LK - Sorry but we cannot stay in this palace. The palace where a chaste woman was insulted is not fit for our stay. But we will come tomorrow in time.

Luv and Kush are going out.
Kaushalya - You did not eat anything for the whole day. I cannot let you go without food.
LK - Forgive us Rajmata, but the palace in which a chaste woman was insulted, we cannot take food there. This is the question of sentiments.
(I did not like these dialogs because these dialogs indicate as if the palace and not the Ayodhya in general was where Sita was insulted.)
Kaushalya - Nobody's thinking is bad here. I think only good for everybody.
LK - If everybody's thinking had been pure, then today devi Sita would be in this palace. You were also here when she was insulted and was exiled to the forest. Rajmata, why did you keep quiet? Why did you watch everything as mute spectator?
(Kaushalya was not at all in favour of Sita's exile. It has been shown in the serial that Kaushalya was very hurt over Sita's exile and she always remembers Sita. Moreover, Kaushalya was not ruling over Ayodhya. Therefore, it is not right for Luv and Kush to make Kaushalya feel guilty.
Kaushalya - How do I explain you children how helpless I was? At least tell me, where my Sita is.
LK - We will tell you tomorrow.
Luv and Kush go out. Kaushalya is not able to stop her tears.

Ram - Hanuman, those boys have opened the pages of my life. It looks as if they are challenging my judgement.
Hanuman - Lord, you are all-powerful and you know everything. You are the very personification of justice. How can anybody challenge your judgement?
Ram - Hanuman, time and destiny also delivers justice and no justice can be greater than that.
Hanuman - Lord, I cannot certain things. But the questions asked by those boys have worried me.
Ram - Hanuman, make arrangements for the joruney of those boys from Ayodhya to gurukul and also arrange for their security.
Hanuman - As you wish.
Ram thinks - I am wondering whether whatever I did with Sita was justice or injustice.

А что показывают?

А показывают Рамаяну всю и снова! И в одном эпизоде! Стоило ли полтора года огород городить?
Ну а если серьёзно, то спели Лава и Куша поэму в честном собрании до самого до момента изгнания Ситы. Потом обругали всех и ушли в гурукулу. Значит, Чандра прав и завтра Рама наконец-то узнает и призовёт, а в пятницу всё будет по расписанию. А вот диалог Рамачандры с Хануманом..хмм. Вот ведь Хануман какой противный, всё знает, но не скажет..

Эпизод от 16 июня

Надо же как дайри глюкнули ( ну я надеюсь)
Короче, что же сегодня произошло (помимо незнамо как удалённой записи).
Очередной проходной эпизод. Но какой-то странный. Нет, с логикой-то всё в порядке. Просто Сита заявила, что не хочет быть царицей Айодхьи.
(Чандра выступил очень резко по этому поводу- пьяный был, что-ли?). Лаву и Кушу поселили в бхаване, как там риши по протоколу положено, а бабушки-раджматы пришли к ним якобы покормить, но, на самом деле, информацию выудить. Братья от еды отказались, а про мать сказали, что зовут её Вандеви. Раджа же долго беседовал с золотой статуей (хороший момент, кстати), а по утру все собрались в дарбаре. Режиссёрская находка - Рамачандра в дыму и босиком.





It is announced that two rishi-kumars will sing Ram's story and the whole Ayodhya is invited.

In Valmiki ashram, Sita is shown thinking over her life and particularly about Luv and Kush.
Vidhna teri niti kisi ki samajh na aaye ri
Bhavana aur kartavya mein kyun tu dvandva karaye ri
Jab jise chahe apne teri teer ka lakshya banaye ri
Vidhna teri niti kisi ki samajh na aaye ri
Tu aage main pichhe pichhe is jivan ki har sidhi par
Maine sah li waar tere, ab kripa-drishti rakh is pidhi par
Prashn chinh lagwa mat dena, tu Raghukul ke kul-dipon par
Sab prashnon ka sabko uttar diya na jaye ri
Jab jise chahe apne teri teer ka lakshya banaye ri
Vidhna teri rit kisi ki samajh na aaye ri

Valmiki - What happened? You look worried.
Sita - Yes, gurudev. There is no news about Luv and Kush. Please do something.
Valmiki - Ok, I will tell you where they are.
The clairvoyant Valmiki closes his eyes for some time.
Valmiki - Daughter, you need not worry. They are fine. They are getting lots of respect there. On hearing Ram's story from them, the entire Ayodhya has become emotional and cannot stop tears. People find the voice of Luv and Kush as divine.
Sita - Did they go to the palace?
Valmiki - They not only went to the palace but also met their father.
Sita - Does it mean?
(It seems Sita wanted to ask if Ram came to know that Luv and Kush were his sons.)
Valmiki - No, the time for that has not yet arrived. Tomorrow, Luv and Kush will sing Sri Ram's story in the palace. All including Ayodhya's king Sri Ram will be there.
Sita prays - God, they are small. Give them strength.
Valmiki - That is how it will happen. They will make sure that you get your honour back. Once again, you will reign in the hearts of the people of Ayodhya and you will become Ayodhya's queen.
(Ayodhya's queen? But that does not happen. Which version are Sagars planning to show?Confused Or should I not take this statement of Valmiki as literally?)
Sita - No, gurudev. I do not want the palace. For me there is heaven at my swami's feet.
Valmiki thinks - Lord, give me strength that I can change the destiny and make Ram and Sita meet.

In Ayodhya
Kush - What are you thinking, Luv?
Luv - The pain which was seen in Ma's eyes, I saw the same in Pitaji's eyes.
Kush - Yes Luv, Pitaji is sad the way Ma is sad.

Kaushalya, Kaikeyi and Sumitra come just outside the room where Luv and Kush are staying.
Kaushalya calls - Rishikumar
Luv and Kush open the door.
LK - Pranam to all of you from Maharshi Valmiki disciples Luv and Kush.
Kaushalya - May you live long. We had heard a lot about you. We were curious to meet you.
LK - Even we were curious to meet Ayodhya's rajmata. Let us know what is the order for us.
Kaushalya - See how tasty food we have brought for you.
Kush - Forgive us, but we cannot take this royal food.
Kaushalya - What are you saying?
Luv, Kush - We are rishi-kumars. We cannot take royal food.
Kaushalya - But why?
Luv, Kush - Gurudev and our mother have not given the permission for this.
(But Valmiki and Sita did not explicitly tell Luv and Kush not to accept any food. So Luv and Kush could have taken at least some amout of food. For example, they could have taken fruits because rishi-kumars do eat fruits.)
Kaushalya - Who is your mother and what is her name?
Luv and Kush are wondering what to answer.
Kaushalya - You didn't tell your mother's name.
Kush - Vandevi
Kaushalya - Vandevi?
Luv - Didn't you like this name?
Kaushalya - Nothing like that. The name is very good.
Kush - Were you thinking some other name for our mother?
Kaushalya - No. We heard such a name for the first time. People are saying that you have sung even those things in Ram's story, which others do not know.
Kaikeyi - How do you know so much about Ram and Sita?
Kush - We know not only about Ram and Sita but even about you three.
Sumitra - Then tell us.
Luv - Forgive us but you will have to wait till tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, we will recite the story in front of Ayodhyapati Sri Ram.

Ram talks to Sita's statue.
Ram - Sita, tomorrow those two boys will recite our story to me. On seeing them I feel as if they are my own whom I am meeting after so many years. Do not know how I will feel on hearing my own story. I feel happy that I will meet them and it gives me even more happiness that I will be able to hear about you. May they know everything about you - where you are, how you are, if they know anything about you.
Ram gets emotional.
Kaushalya comes there.
Kaushalya - Ram, nothing is hidden from them. They know everything - about you, about Sita, about Ayodhya.
Ram - Ma, how do you know this?
Kaushalya - I myself met them.
Ram - Did they tell you anything?
Kaushalya - No, Ram. But on seeing them I felt as if I saw two Rams of childhood days. I felt as if they were parts of my heart.
Ram - Ma, didn't they say anything about their parents?
Kaushalya - They said that they are the children of a sadhvi named Vandevi and they have been brought up in Maharshi Valmiki's ashram. You will hear the rest from them tomorrow.
Ram - It is difficult to wait till tomorrow.
Kaushalya - You will have to wait, Ram because nothing happens before time. It is too late now. You should take rest.

In the morning, Sumant brings Luv and Kush to the darbar.
Kush - Pranam to Ayodhyapati Sri Ram, guru Vashishth and all Ayodhyavasis from Maharshi Valmiki's disciples Luv and Kush.
(I was thinking they they did not take Vishwamitra's name explicitly.Wink)
Luv and Kush bow their heads. Vashishth and Vishwamitra bless them.
Vashishth - You two talented rishi-kumars are welcome in Ayodhya. We have heard a lot about you singing Ram's story. People say that mother Saraswati resides on your tongues. And there is magic in your voice. When you two brothers sing Ram's story, then all become emotional. We all wish to hear the story.
Luv - It is our good fortune that Ayodhyavasis liked the song. It is their greatness.
Kush - If you all permit, then we will take permission from Ayodhyapati Sri Ram and start singing the song. Maharaj, what is the order for us?

Эпизод от 15 июня

Немного про эпизод. Такая вот вещь произошла. Зоркий глаз индийских женщин заметил, что Гурмит Чоудхари детей любит. И не только любит, но и умеет их держать, с ними общаться и вообще воспитывать. В отличие от Дебины Баннерджи, у которой таких навыков ещё нет. Вышеприведённая сцена народу шибко полюбилась (нет, сцена опять была не по Вальмики), но! Но участвует в этой сцене Гурмит Чоудхари. В том одеянии, которое ему и положено, встречает детишек Гурмит, не раджа Рам. Честно, я даже не знаю, хорошо это или плохо.

Luv and Kush reach Ayodhya. They sing about Sita. The people make crowd around them. Ayodhyavasis are saying that these rishi-kumars look so handsome.
Darshaniya do divya kumare
Rajhans do pyare pyare
Karte hain Sita pe hue anyay pe ishare

Dekh inhe achraj mein prajajan
Dekh inhe achraj mein prajajan
pher mein pad gaye gyani
Balajogi bolat yun Shivani

LK sing:-
Hum van ke vasi vandevi ke jaaye
Hum van ke vasi vandevi ke jaaye
Tyagmayi mata ke tumko
Tyagmayi mata ke tumko
Katha sunane aaye
Hum van ke vasi vandevi ke jaaye
Mithila ki us rajkumari ka shibh naam hai Sita
Use Ramji ne Shivji ka dhanus todkar jita
Manavta ki jivit pratima Sita param-punita
Ram ki ardhangini ka jivan van hi van mein bita
Mahalaxmi bhagvati pe tumne mithya dish lagaye
Hum van ke vasi vandevi ke jaaye
Hum van ke vasi vandevi ke jaaye
Rajdharm se vivash Ramji ki aagya sir dharke
Rajmahal ko chhod chali vo koi prashn na karke
Kye gurujan aur parijan ke bhi hriday hue patthar ke
Siya ki dasha pe na koi roya aankh mein aansu bharke
Dayahin apni karni par tanik nahi pachhtaye
Tanik nahi pachhtaye, tanik nahi pachhtaye
Ram sone ki pratima gadhakar
Janki ko palkon mein dhundhen
Ram ki ye vivashta hai kaisi
Jo kushal tak nahi mit ki poonchhen

Whereever LK go, the entire Ayodhyavasis move with them.
Sumant - Maharaj, two rishi-kumars have made Ayodhya-vasis cry. They are singing Maharani Sita's story. There is magic in their voice. They ask such questions that Ayodhyavasis are not able to answer. Some people are saying that Sita should be searched and brought back.
Ram - Is this the opinion of only some people or whole of Ayodhya?
Sumant - Maharaj, as of now, it is only of some.
Ram also hears the voice of Luv and Kush.
Ram - Is this the same song?
Sumant - Yes, Maharaj
Ram - Sumant ji, bring rishi-kumars here with full honour.

In Valmiki ashram, Sita is doing Shiv puja.
Sita - Lord, my sons met their father but did not recognize him. By your blessings, they have again gone to meet their father. Let father and sons meet this time.

By now all ashram vasis have known that Vandevi is Sita. They come to meet Sita. They are crying.
Sita - What happened? Why are you crying? Is everything all right?
Nani ma - Forgive us, daughter. We lived with you for so many years but we could not recognize you. You are Ayodhya's Maharani. Still you lived here and faced so many difficulties. You could have at least given a hint that you are our Lord Sri Ram's wife. Even though unknowingly, we gave us so much of trouble.
Sita - Ma, can a mother give troubles to her daughter? Like you, I am also an ordinary woman. Only a mother can give so much of love, which you gave me. I should apologize to you that I may have done something wrong.
Nani ma - Do not make me a sinner by saying that.
Another woman - We have become free from sins by your association.
Nani ma - I have only one request that do not forget this mother when you go to the palace.
Sita - I can never forget you, these ashram vasis, these trees and plants and the animals and the birds of this ashram. How can I forget? I will live in the hearts of all of you.

Luv and Kush are talking.
Luv - Bhaiya, after hearing the story, the Ayodhyavasis were not able to stop their tears.
Kush - This means that they have not forgot their queen. Even now they love our mother.
Luv - Bhaiya, even now there must be some people who doubt our mother because of which father had to exile mother.
Kush - Yes, we have to remove doubts from all people.

Sumant comes to Luv and Kush.
Sumant - Our people are searching for you for so long. Ayodhya-naresh Maharaj Ramchandra wants to meet you. He has ordered that you be brought to the palace with full honour.
Luv and Kush are very happy because they were waiting for this moment.

In the palace
Urmila - Ma, two rishi-kumars are singing Sri Ram's story in the streets of Ayodhya.
Shrutkirit - All shed tears on hearing the story.
Kaushalya - Who are they?
Urmila - Do not know but they are wearing the clothes of rishis.
Shrutkirit - When we heard this, then we also felt like hearing Sri Ram's story from them.
Kaushalya - Let us call them here. We all will hear.
Urmila - Ma ji, Maharaj Ram has sent Arya Sumant to bring them here.
Kaushalya - You both go and see if Arya Sumant has come back with them. I would like to hear them singing.
Kaushalya (to God) - From morning, I various thought are coming to my mind. First rishi-kumars stop the horse. Then rishi-kumars sing Ram's story. Why do I think that something is going to happen? What is the role of these rishi kumars in our life? God, what do you want? What indication are you giving?

Sumant comes to Ram with Luv and Kush.
Apne mahal mein aa gaye mahal ke rajkumar
Pita putra dono khade ek duje ko nihare

Ram - You two?
Luv and Kush touch Ram's feet. Ram blesses them. There are tears in LK's eyes on getting blessings from Ram.

Sri charno par jhuke hain balak
Ashish de Ram jag palak
Hridayon mein hai halchal apar
Nainon se bahti jaldhar

Ram - Tears in your eyes?
LK - It is because of happiness, Maharaj. You put your hands on our heads. This is what happens to whoever gets Maharaj Ram's blessings. The way a son gets emotional on getting his father's blessings, the same way it is natural for us subjects to get emotional.
Ram - Do not know why but even I am getting emotional. That day I saw your courage and today this magic of your voice. You are experts in both warfare and music. This is a unique combination.
LK - This is because of our gurudev.
Ram - He gave you the knowledge of music?
LK - Yes, Maharaj. Gurudev has written a great poetry called Ramayan. In that he has described your life-story.
Ram - He has written very beautifully. Will you recite to me also?
LK - If you wish, we will. But if you want to hear the whole story, then it will take lots of time.
Ram - Do not worry. Every day, after the yagna you may sing. We all will hear.
LK - As you wish, Maharaj.

In Valmiki, there was nothing about Angad challenging Ravan's warriors to remove his foot either. I don't know whether it's there in RCM - will have to check later. Valmiki also has nothing about Ravan offering to give Angad the throne of Kishkindha.

Vibs, you once mentioned that in Tamil, while Kamban didn't include the Uttarkand, someone else did. How does his story go - briefly? Does he follow Valmiki, or does he include other things, like K-L battles?

One thing I forgot to ever ask about Kamban - is it like Valmiki, where only a few people know that Rama is Vishnu, or is it like RCM and Adhyatma, where just about everybody knows it?


Uttarkand in Ramayan was written by Ottakoothar. Both Kamban and Ottakoothar were court poets of Rajendra Chola. At a very young age, Kamban was excellent in writing poetry. Even the king was lost in the beauty of his poems that he made Kamban one of his court poets. It was the king who wished that the Ramayan to be written in Tamil after listening to the Valmiki Ramayan. The task was entrusted to Kamban and Ottakoothar. But Ottakoothar considered Kamban his rival and was not pleased when the king gave equal status to both. The two poets started composing separately. Kamban was able to progress well but Ottakoothar was not able to write much. When the king asked about the status of the composition, Ottakoothar said that he was not able to complete much. Kamban recited a verse from the chapter he was writing at that time (Crossing the river Ganga). Each and every poem was praised by everyone there (except Ottakoothar, of course). And Ottakoothar, jealous and angry told Kamban that since, he had written so far, let him finish the whole epic. Kamban agreed saying he will complete the epic with the blessings of Goddess Saraswati. And he did finish the epic by himself. It was then Ottakoothar wrote Uttar Kand. I am not sure what the storyline is - I have been searching for that book for ages but could not find it at all. Unhappy

The thing with Kambaramayanam is that there are so many comparisons, similies and metaphors that it is difficult to understand if they mean the real thing or if it is an exaggerated comparison. Countless times Kamban mentions that Ram is Lord Vishnu. I'd guess that only few of them really knew about Ram's divinity though everyone considered him a God.

When Kamban was young, a generous and wealthy merchant (some say farmer) by name Sadaiyappa supported him financially. In gratitude Kamban at first mentioned his name once in every 100 poems. But when he was reciting his work to a saint in a temple, the saint suggested that mentioning Sadayappa's name once in every 1000 poems will be sufficient. Kamban agreed saying "I had mentioned his name once every 100 poems thinking that he was one (special and unique) among a hundred people. But as the saint suggests he is a great man among a thousand people. I shall rewrite accordingly." Hence, in the Kambaramayanam, Sadayappa's name is mentioned every 1000 poems.

Kamban named his work as 'Ramavataaram' (Rama - avtaar) but later on the book came to be called Kambaramayanam.
