Sage Vishamithra continued “ Diti
was extremely anguished at the fragment of her fetus into seven segments, she
mournfully spoke to unconquerable and thousand eyed Lord Indra “ Oh! Indra King
of deities, Balasoodhana, slayer of demon Bala, my fetus was divided into seven
fragments by my own fault and it was no unfairness from you. My favoritism to the fetus turned out reverse
of my expectation, let this seven segments become the seven Maruth Ganas/ Lord
Vayu rulers of ethereal world under your supervision. Oh! Lord Indra, let these
seven sons of mine will be worshipped as the deities Maruth Ganas and proceed
to heavenly abode with their celestial form.
One of the Maruth Ganas remains in the abode of Lord Brahma, one in the
abode of Lord Indra and the third one will be prominent among the deities as
Lord Vayu and circulate in the whole Universe. Oh! Son Lord Indra, the remaining
Maruth Ganas will reside in four directions at your command. They will be famously known as Maruth Ganas,
because you have pacified them pronouncing ‘ Ma Rutha’ while they emaciated in
pain.” after listening to the words of Diti, the thousand eyed Lord Indra, destroyer of
enemies folding his palm to together and
replied “ Oh! Devi, it is
definite that all that you have desired will come true and your sons, the
Maruth Ganas will be venerated as deities.” In this way, Lord Indra pacified
his step mother and arrived in a fair decision, in the sacred land Kushalaplavam
of City of Vishala, and Lord Indra returned to his abode. Oh! Rama, this is one of the most sacred lands
on Earth where Lord Indra offered abundance of service to his step mother Diti,
for the completion of asceticism. The
King of Ikshvaku dynasty ruled this city had a virtuous son from queen
Alambusha, he was well known as Vishala who constructed this city and named
after him. King Vishala had a valorous
son Hemachandra, and his son Suchandra was famous to the world. Suchandra had a son Dhoomrashva and whose son
was Srijjaya. Sahadeva was the fortunate
son of Srijjaya, Kushashvasya was a righteous son of Sahadeva. Kushashvasya had a splendid son Somadatta who
had a prominent son Kakustha. Presently
the grand city of Vishala is under the regime of Sumati, the mighty son of
Kakustha who is unconquerable to the whole Universe, with the grace of Ikshvaku all the successive rulers of Vishala
had long life, righteousness and fearless in them. Tonight we will halt in the marvelous City of
Vishala and it will be appropriate to meet King Janaka of Kingdom of Mithila in
the morning.” Thus, Sage Vishamithra
concluded his speech to Rama and Lakshmana.
The prominent King Sumathi heard about the visit of illustrious Sage
Vishamithra in the precinct of the City of Vishala, soon he arrived with his
preceptors and family to offer veneration to the Sage. King Sumathi with folded hands enquired the
well being of Sage Vishwamithra and declared himself as most fortunate to meet
him.
