RAMARPANAM-47

File 47.

Dated June 4th, 2012.

Jai Sri Ram.

 Periyavachan Pillai advocates Dasaratha's stand :

 In His efforts to deny sending Rama with Visvamitra, Dasaratha spoke the following :

 Asya yudha yogiyatha rakashasaha na pasyami - Meaning thus :

 Una shodasa varsho :

 1. Rama is so young and tender that the milk He gulps would show through His neck;

2. Aged less than16 would mean that He had not attained majority to deal in affairs of a major, making Him ineligible to go for a war;

3. Not yet conversant with elephant mount, horse mount or even in archery needed for battle proficiency;

4. The bud He fashions over His head is too small to even tie a knot;

 Mey Rama:

5. He is not Bhargava Rama, Mey-Dasaratha Rama. May be that Visvamitra had come to a wrong address instead of  going to Parasu Rama ;

6. That Rama, whom Dasaratha, possessively claimed shall not be required by Visvamitra;

7. That Rama, whom Dasaratha feels bonded, shall not stand a separation;

 Rajeeva-lochana:

 8. That Rama so frail and beautiful as water Lille that deserve to beautify one's hair shall not be held as a load bearing ring on the head;

9. That Rama who deserved all the pampering, should He fight un-equals;

10.That Lotus eyed Rama, could He keep awake if at all He fight the active-by-night rakshasas.

 Na pasyami :

 Unable to see one good reason to send Rama, Dasaratha deject fully declined and Visvamitra none too was ready to listen.

 Possessiveness leads to deprivation and un-acquisitiveness to bestowment.
