7 - Uttar Kaand | |
Sarg 75-76 | |
Sarg 75 - Raam Finds a Shoodra in South Raam said to Lakshman - "You console the Braahman and make arrangements to keep his son's dead body in sweet smelling pond, so that it does not get spoiled. Then Raam remembered Pushpak Vimaan, it came immediately. Raam handed over the kingdom to Bharat and Lakshman, greeted Maharshi and boarded the Vimaan and went to west direction. He didn't find anybody in that direction. Then He went to north side, He didn't find anybody there too. Then He went to east side, there also He found everybody sinless. Then he went to south. There He found a Shoodra doing Tapasyaa towards north of Shail Parvat. Raam stopped there and asked him - "Why do you do Tapasyaa here hanging upside down? Of which Varn you are, you tell me the truth?" Sarg 76 - Raam Gives Life to the Boy Tapaswee said - "Hey Raam, I am Shambook named Shoodra. I wish to go to Swarg Lok with this body, that is why I am doing this Tapasyaa." Raam immediately cut His head with His sword. Devtaa got very pleased and said to Raam - "Hey Raajan, You have done a great job for Devtaa so ask for any Var." Raam said - "Hey Indra, I have taken vow to bring back life to Braahman's dead son. So if you are pleased with me, make Braahman's son alive." Devtaa said - "Hey Raajan, That boy is already alive and now is with his parents. He got alive as soon as you killed that Shoodra. Now we go to Agastya Muni. He has just completed his Deekshaa doing intense Tapasyaa for 12 years. You may also come with us." All Devtaa and Raam went to see Agastya Muni. As they arrived there, Muni Jee sent Devtaa off after treating them appropriately, then he welcomed Raam and said - "Hey Raajan, I have come to know that you have brought back a Braahman's son to life by killing a Shoodra. Hey Bhagvaan, You are Naaraayan and are Devtaa of Devtaa as the Aadi Purush and you always live in my heart. Kindly stay back in my Aashram for overnight. Hey Raajan, I have got a divine jewelry, made by Vishwakarmaa, in donation. I want to give it to you, because it is made for you." Raam said - "Taking donation from a Braahman is against Shaastra, because I am a Kshatriya, therefore I am not supposed to take any donation from you." Maharshi said - "There was no king for public in Sat Yug. Braahman had all the rights. So once public went to Brahmaa Jee with the desire to have a king and said - "Hey Brahmaa, You have given a king to Devtaa - Indra, give a king to us also." Then Brahmaa Jee took a small part of each of all Lokpaal and laughed loudly which produced Raajaa Kshup. He gave that Raajaa to public and said, "He is your king". Then Kshup gave the ruler of Prithvi from the part of Indra; administration to public from the part of Varun; wealth to public from the part of Kuber and punishment to public from the part of Yam. Hey Raam, You are king so you have the part of all Lokpaal that is why accept this jewelry from the part of Indra." Hearing this Raam accepted that shining jewelry like Soory's light and asked - "Kindly tell me who gave this jewelry to you?"
