Jai Sri Ram.
Invitation to Rishyasingar.
Rishyasingar is unique in one respect that He lived deep inside the forest far away from the weird world of sensual pleasures of women and wealth. He never had seen women, not even His mother or any human, except His father, sage Vibandakar. But the purity of His action and mind made Him a wonder personality.
Angadesa, neighboring Ayodhya and ruled by RomapAda was once frought with drought and famine and the King had no clues to remedy the situation. He was then advised to bring Rishyasingar to his royal residence for the return of rain and prosperity to his state.
So the King sent a beauty pageant of young girls to Rishyasingar Ashram to try and bring home the Sage. He was amused at the girls like any other creatures in the forest would do. They came back for a while and went again with food, fruits and beverages which He had never tasted and that made Him follow into Angadesa. His father’s absence in the Ashram precincts made the job of the girls easy.
As He entered Angadesa, there was flood of rain and richness to the country and the King got his daughter married to Him, duly convincing Vibhandakar on the alliance.
This story narrated by Sanatkumara was retold to Dasaratha by Sumantra with intentions to let know the King that by bringing Rishyasingar to Ayodhya and by performing AshwamEda and PutrakAmeshti yagnya by His hands He would soon be blessed with a Baby-heir to the Throne.
Taking the suggestion on its due merits, King Dasaratha requested His Royal priest, VasishtA along with Sumantra to set things in motion for the performance of the Yagnya in the ensuing spring itself. Such that by the return of the next Vasanta Ritu things would fall in place and stage set for the completion of the two kAmya karmAs, fulfilling the aspirations of Himself and the people of Ayodhya.
Preparations for RamAvatAr are under way here and let us wait and enjoy as it unfolds.
