Ramayana - Another Great Epic

[viggop]

Rama's beauty made people around him go mad.It even made sage viswamithra jealous.

valmiki narrates an interesting incident about this.Viswamithra takes Rama and lakshmana to the forest to kill demons.There Rama and lakshmana are sleeping.Viswamithra gets up and sees the sleeping beauty of Rama.Viswamithra knows that the one who is sleeping is parambhraamn himself.He loses himself at the beauty of Ram.Then he wakes up Rama with the famous verse

"Kousalya supraja Rama poorva santhya prabarthe
utishta narasarthula karthavyam deiva nmanniham"

Meaning "Fortunate is kousalya to beget you as her son.Oh Rama,wake up.Its dawn.Hey Lord Narasimma,work is to be done"

Sage viswamithra must have been jealous of kousalya,says mukkur Lakshmi Narsimacharya.He says that in hindu tradition a person is always called as 'son of his father'.But here viswamithra seeing the beauty of lord Ram thinks that how fortunate kousalya should be to see this parabhramman daily.Even though Viswamithra has seen god many times,how fortunate mother kousalya is to see lord as a child,playing with her daily and touching her and doing childish pranks.This is a fortune which even bhrammrishis and jnanis dont get

Many saints do tapas for thousands of years.Yet they get to see lord once or twice.While this being the case kousalaya without undergoing any such tapas or hardships has got the fortune which is the dream of all saints and rishis.

What is the use of being a bhrammarishi and seeing god once or twice in a lifetime?Who is more fortunate?Me or kousalya?Defenitely she is more fortunate than me and all other bhrammrishis.She attained this fortune only by her pathivradha dharma.
