On
the next day morning, Sage Vishwamithra bade farewell to King Dhasharatha, King
Janaka, Rama and Lakshmana and proceeded to the northern parts of
Himalayas. Shortly, King Dhasharatha
bade farewell to King Janaka and proceeded to the city of Ayodhya. King Janaka/Mithileshwara offered various
riches as Kanya Dhanam, huge number of cows, thousands of magnificent
shawls, crores of silk garments,
elephants, horses, chariots, warriors and hundreds of maid servants, he also offered various precious jewels such as
gold, silver, pearls, and coral as Kanya Dhanam with extreme delight. King Janaka after offering various riches as
Kanya Dhanam, accompanied his daughter for a distance and bade farewell to King
Dhasharatha and returned to his palace.
King Dhasharatha along with his virtuous sons followed by warriors,
keeping the sages at the forefront proceeded to Ayodhya. Suddenly, King Dhasharatha along with
Raghavas could hear the alarming screeches of birds, animals and various
creatures from woods were hurried to leftward.
King Dhasharatha was mystified and enquired Sage Vashishta “ My heart is
throbbing with an unknown fear, why these birds are creating frightful noises
and the animals are dashing to leftward ?” after listening to King Dhasharatha’s
distressed voice, Sage Vashishta informed him in a soothing words that he will
let him know about what was happening and asked to ignore the screeching of
birds and dashing of animals. Suddenly a whirlwind set off, it quivered the
earth and uprooted the colossal trees around, abruptly the daylight has
vanished and sandstorm wrapped the warriors from all sides. Sage Vashishta, King Dhasharatha and his sons
were visible, rest of them were turned into dull. In that extreme darkness they could witness
Bhargava Rama, son of Sage Jamadagni, vanquisher
of Kshathriya, who had the resemblance
of the destroyer of Tripura, Lord Rudra.
He had dreadful look, with unruly matted hair locks, irrefutable like
Mount Kailash, he had the brilliance of Kalagni, un approachable for the common
people, he had an axe/Parasu on his shoulder, wielded a bow on his hand. Seeing his dreadful face blazing like ritual
fire, Sage Vashishta and various Brahmins who practice ascetics and fire
rituals whispered to each other “ Is he going to abolish the race of
Kshathriyas once again as he was done at the time of murder of his father? Is
he still in agitation against the race of Kshathriyas?” All the Sages and Rishis along with Sage
Vashishta approached Lord Parasurama and mellifluously spoke “ Oh! Rama,
Bhargava Rama”. Lord Parasurama, son of
Sage Jamadhagni began to speak to Rama after receiving welcoming words from the
assembled Sages and Sage Vashishta.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
