Introduction
The present lesson Kumudvathi parinayam is taken from 16th canto of
Raghu Vamsha maha kavya written by Kalidasa.
Kusa’s glory
Kusa and Lava were sons of Sita and Sri Rama. Kusa ruled Ayodhya kingdom, even
greater than Indra, the ruler of swarga loka and Kubera , the ruler of Alakapuram.
When Kusa , the son of Sita was ruling the kingdom ,all the seasons were in order and
better way .In that way the seasons changed and Greeshma Ruthu entered.The severity of
heat during day time increased and the cool air decreased during the night times. The
difference between both the times seems to be the acceptance of repented couple , who
quarrelled and realised their faults.
The wandering of Kusa in the river Sarayu
Having much delighted to roam in the waves of the river. The Rajahamsa couples
are swimming in Sarayu.Kusa along with his country men , arrived at the river Sarayu , which
was so beautiful having covered with flower creepers and trees. The fragrant flowers
dropped on the banks and joined in the cool river water currents. To enjoys the coolness in
the fragrant river water , while eagerly entering into the river water , the shoulders of many
anxious persons , were rubbed to one another’s.
Kusa along with all his people , entered the water of Sarayu while shoulders of
the anxious persons are rubbed crispy to one another .The Royal female maids filled herbals
in golden jars and poured that different coloured water on Kusa and stepped into Sarayu
enjoy in the waters along with the king .
They played with the balls made with flowers , with their king. Kusa roamed in River waters
along with them , having not observed about the long time .
Kusa’s precious ornament fell down in Sarayu
Kusa identified that the Jiatrabharana , given by his father Rama which was given as blessing
from Agastya Maharshi to Rama ,fell in the river. He ordered to call the swimmers to
search the lost ornament.
 As per the orders of the king Kusa ,the swimmers searched seriously, but they
could not find the ornament.They told the king that they searched every inch of deep
bottom parts / areas of the river.But the ornament was not found .They said that perhaps ,
the snake king Kumuda might have taken the ornament.
Kumuda came as refugee:
Kumuda knew that Kusa was expert and efficient in utilising the Garadastra. So
he stood before Kusa , with fear and said , “Oh king Kusa , you are the son of Sri Rama , an
incarnation of Sri Maha Vishnu. How can I do evil deeds against you .I appear before you to
give the ornament ” and handed over the ornament to Kusa. As the ornament was found in
his hand , Kusa withdrew Garudastra . Great people are efficient and good enough to
withdraw their anger on obedient good persons.
Kusa married Kumudvati:
“ My little young sister Kumudvati was playing with ball. She had hit the ball on the
floor , with force . The ball went high .When my sister was looking upwards to catch the ball,
ornament fell in her hands. Having not known that the ornament is yours , she took it. But
she did not steal your ornament . I was to have cordial relationship with you.So if you
please and accept it .I want to give my younger sister to you, in marriage.” Kumuda , thus
explained it obediently /politely.
The king Kusa understand the good heart feeling of Kumuda , received his ornament
and married the most beautiful Kumudvati.
Conclusion :
Along with the divine ornament, Kusa had also a gem in Kumudvati , a precious
beautiful girl , who came as his bride .

Introduction of the poet:- The lesson "Vikramankasya Audaryam" is extracted
from the Kavya named "Vikramanka Deva Charitam". Written by Sri Bilhana

Important points of the lesson:

* Choosing Vikramaditya as the prince.

* Vikramaditya rejected the post of prince.

* The discussion between Ahavamalla and Vikramaditya.

* Vikramaditya requested his father to give the kingdom to his elder brother
Somadeva.

* Vikramaditya’s generosity.

Choosing Vikramaditya as the prince :

The king Ahavamalla ruled the karnataka rajya in south india. He had
three sons namely Somadatta, Vikramaditya and Jayasimha. Among them, the
second son Vikramaditya learnt many arts and royal education and got best
knowledge. he learnt many warfare skills also became expert. he was
disciplined and obedient to elders. Having known the efficiency of second son
Vikramaditya, the father Ahavamalla wanted to give the responsibility of the
kingdom to Vikramaditya and he informed his decision to Vikramaditya.

Vikramaditya rejected the post of prince.

Vikramaditya came to know the decision of his father and said "Oh
respected father, you wanted to give the kingdom to me, because of your love
and affection towards me. But as per the royal constitution the eldest son of
the king is eligible to rule the kingdom. I am your second. So give kingdom to
the eldest brother Somadeva, in my place."
Vikramaditya rejected the post of prince.

"I have to respect your decision . But the riches and money are available to
the persons, who possess the quality of Sacrifice. I will possess all the riches by
your blessings. We have to follow the rules of the constitution. Unless, the
people of the kingdom may have bad opinion on us. So please retain the
thought of making me price, in your heart only.

Vikramaditya asked his father Ahavamalla to give the kingdom to Somadeva:

"If you are the king and the elder brother Somadeva is prince. I will follow
both of you in all the matters and take care of the responsibility of the rule of
the Kingdom. For this the Lord Chandra Shekhara, Shiva is role model to me. As
per the constitution, the elder son Somadeva has to inherit the kingdom. But, if
I become the prince, without having experience and eligibility, how can I look
the ashamed face of my elder brother. If I accept the kingdom, I myself, would
be destroying and disrespecting the greatness of our great dynasty.

Vikramaditya’s generosity.

The father observed the pious/ generous nature of Vikramaditya and said, "Oh
my son, though you are eligible for the kingdom. Because of your generosity,
you became equivalent to God. Though I have many sons, my fame enhanced
because of you only.

Oh my son please accept my words. Our Chalukya Rajya Lakshmi will be

glowing for a longer time. Our Samantha kings will praise my Greatness
without having any bad impression." Vikramaditya heard the words of his
father and said with a smile, "Oh father, I will protect the great fame inherited
from our ancestors. The eager wish to possess the kingdom should not spoil
the everlasting good fame." Thus Vikramaditya expressed his generosity.

Introduction:- This lesson “Bhishajo Bhashijyam” is taken from the Book Kathatrayee.
Written by Sri Pullela Shreeramachandrudu.

Synopsis: A small boy was hit by an unidentified vehicle, was fainted lying on road. Villagers
immediately brought him to the nearby doctor in the village Mr.Venkat Rao. Adamant,
irresponsible and money minded attitude Venkat Rao has ignored and sent back the
villagers out of anger and frustration.

But under unforeseen circumstances Mr.Venkat Rao had to see the boy. Upon seen
and the boy was shocked and fainted. The reason was, he has ignored and refused to treat
the boy initially who could not get treatment on time and due to which the boy was dead is
none other than his son.

Story:- In a village there was a doctor Mr.Venkat Rao S/o.Subbaiah Sastry. Hailing from a
poor family with great hardships and difficulties, Subbaiah Sastry has made his son a Doctor.
Though passing of his wife, Subbaiah Sastry taking role of both mother and father has
brought up his son.

Mr.Venkat Rao being handsome, smart and MBBS doctor, a rich man has come
forward to make him as his Son-in-Law. Initially before marriage Mr.Venkat Rao had normal
income. But after marrying a rich man’s daughter, his reputation and also his medical
practice increased. Due to which there was a rapid change in his attitude and behavior.

Venkat rao’s false life:

Though Mr.Venkat Rao’s wife coming from a rich family, she was very generous and
kind enough with everyone. Due to change in the attitude, behavior of his son, Subbaiah
Sastry was not happy. But only one count he was happy and satisfied, staying back with his
son was due to his daughter-in- law who was taking care of him, and enjoying rest of his life
with his grandson Suresh.

One day Mr.Venkat Rao’s friends come to his house and to the surprise of all he has
introduced his own father as “Beggar”. Having hurt with this behavior, Subbaiah Sastry has
gone back to his village. After few days he came to know that a new lady doctor was
appointed, where Venkat Rao working in a Government Hospital. Also he heard that she
looks good and has a very sweet voice and was very courteous and concerned towards
patients. Being rich person in the village expected the new lady colleague should come and
meet him and get introduced herself. But even after passing of 7 days, she has not turned
up to meet him which made him to feel anger. However, for a while he thought of meeting
his new colleague, but due to ego he did not do so.

At that point of time, a small boy was brought by villagers for treatment who was hit
by an unidentified vehicle was fainted lying on road. As he is adamant, irresponsible and
money minded attitude Venkat rao has ignored and sent back the villagers out of anger and
frustration. Villagers have requested him to treat the small boy immediately but refused by
saying that doctors are also human beings and need rest. This is not the appropriate time to
see the patients. One of the villagers has come forward and once again humbly requested to
ignore the time factor seeing the condition of the patient and treat him. At once he has
shouted at villagers saying that they are very selfish and does not bother about the other
man’s condition and situation.


At this point of time, one of the villager has once again came forward and appealed
to the doctor to treat the boy whose condition was very critical. Though the small boy was
not known to them who lying on the road. Once again Venkat Rao has blamed them by
saying that to avoid the fee for treatment. Again all the villagers collectively came forward
and informed him that they will pool up the money amongst themselves, requested to treat
the boy but he has refused.

Having seen the situation and condition of the boy which was deteriorating
minute by minute, elder man has suggested taking for some other doctor for treatment and
went away.

Venkat Rao laughed at them, when villagers were leaving his place. Thought that
they are like dogs and in our country wherein population is increasing every day and no
value to the human life.

Venkat rao to faint :

After some time he got a call from his new colleague for whose call he was awaiting
was very surprise to her voice. She has requested him to help her for an emergency case for
treatment. Venkat Rao asked his driver to come immediately and to rush for an emergency
treatment though driver was saying that he has to bring Suresh from school, and rushed to
the hospital and was surprised to see the same old villagers who have come to him earlier.

Conclusion :

Upon seen the boy lying on the ground and seeing the expression of his colleague
with regard to the condition of the boy that he is no more, was shocked and fainted who
was none other than his own son Suresh.

Introduction: The present lesson is an extract from first part of “samskrutha sathaka”
written by the great scholar padma sastry.

Kesara simha’s family:- Once upon a time there was a farmer in a kingdom named Kashmira. He
had a son named Kesara Simha. The livelihood of the family was raising cattle and selling fruits.
Kesara Simha’s grandmother was interested in nourishing and protecting the trees. She used to
protect the trees from the cattle and snow by covering with gross. Whenever Kesara Simha cut the
branches of the trees, his grandmother was saddened. She told him that she had paid equal
attention and affection towards for grandson and trees.

Reply of Kesara Simha:- Kesara simha expressed his dissatisfaction with his grandmother
that she was selling good fruits and giving him only the left over part of the birds eaten
fruits. Grandmother replied him that the fruits were inadequate to fill their stomach. So she
decided to sell the fruits to purchase food grain. She also assured him that she would stop
selling the fruits as soon as he become young and energetic to produce grain.

If he desired to eat fruits, she asked him to plant some more trees which would yield
flowers, fruits, shade, wood and it would also please mother earth. Kesara Simha admired
his grandmother’s intention and began to help her in planting and nourishing the trees .
Kesara Simha was deeply saddened by grandmother’s death when he was sixteen years old.
Her memories made him cry.

Dream of Kesara Simha:- Kesara Simha cried loudly in his dream by holding his
grandmother. She consoled and told him that she didn’t die but changed her body as it was
old. She looks so young . He requested his grandmother to come back home as he was
feeling lonely. She refused to come back and suggested him to plant more trees which
would help him to forget her.

Second Dream :- The following night , grandmother appeared with two young angels in his
dream. She gave him fruits in a silver plate. He ate fruits and exclaimed that he had never
tasted such delicious fruits previously and woke up. As the days passed by he earned money
by selling fruits.

Third Dream :- After many days , grandmother gave her appearance in his dream on a white
throne in white dress. She appreciated him for planting more trees . She also told him that
diseases would not be prevailed in the village. Kesara Simha told his grandmother that he
hadn’t planted herbal (medicinal) plants and asked her how could diseases be prevented ?
Grandmother replied him that the trees which were planted would give fresh air for good
health.

Entourage of Kesara Simha:- Grandmother clapped her hands two angles appeared there.
She instructed them to take her grandson on a tour to green city and white mountain. Two
angels clapped and white chariot with white horses appeared immediately. On the way, he
saw rivers with fresh water, snow covered mountains and trees with full of flowers and
fruits, Kesara Simha enjoyed his tour.

Message of Grandmother:- Grandmother focused the importance of the trees in the nature.
The trees would give fertile soil, fresh air and water. Deforestation would increase the
temperature. Snow would be melt, seas cross shore and drown the earth. The careful study
and keen observation is required to know the consequences in the environment.

Conclusion:- Kesara Simha saluted his grandmother and made gardening as his routine
work.
