श्रृयिबेरपुरात् आरधं रामस्य वनवासं वणियत ।
Introduction: This present lesson “रामो यवग्रहवान् धमिः ‛ is an extract from the 1st chapter of Balakanda
of “Srimadramayanam”. Written by the great sage Valmiki. Known as Adikavi as Ramayanam if
Adikavyam.Ramayana consists of Seven Kandas and 24.000 stanzas.
Story: The great sage Valmiki who was blessed by Brahma, the creator asked the celestial sage
Narada.
O ! Great sage Narada ! At present, who is a great man with full of virtues in this world. The who is
meritorious, valint, knower of all Dharmas, grateful and truthful.
Narada’s Reply :
On hearing this appeal of Valmiki, the sage Narada, who possessed knowledge of the three worlds,
said.”O ! Valmiki! I will tell you about such a hero with rare qualities you have described. There is one
person named Rama, born in Ikshwaku dynasty, has full control on his mind, very powerful, radiant,
conquered his senses, knows the secret of Dharma, pure in this dealings, a man of self-control, truthful
and the elder son of Dasaratha.
Emperor Dasaratha wanted to crown Rama as the king to gratify the people of the city.
Witnessing the preparations the queen Kaikeyi, the youngest wife of Dasaratha, asked him to fulfill the
two boons which were promised her previously (at the time of war with Shambarasura).
One is he exile of Sri Rama and the other is crowning Bharatha as the king. So the king
Dasaratha exiled him beloved son Rama.
In obedience to his father’s command and with a view to please his step mother Kaikeyi, Rama
went to the forest in order to keep the pledge made by his father. His beloved brother Lakshmana, son
of Sumitra followed him.
Sri Rama’s newly wedded spouse, Sita, the daughter of Janaka, endowed with all auspicious
qualities and was like the manifestation of god’s power, also accompanied Sri Rama. He was followed a
far by his citizens and father Dasaratha.
Later they went to Sringiberapura which was on the banks of Ganga and met Guha, the chief of
Nishadas. With the help of Guha, Sri Rama, Lakshmana and Sita, crossed the river Ganga. Lather they
reached Chitrakuta with the instructions of Bharadwaja and made a lovely cottage and lived there.
Meanwhile Dasaratha, who was unable to bear the separation of Rama, gave up his life. Then
Vasishta and other Brahmins urged Bharatha to accept the throne of Ayodhya. But Bharatha, who was
very powerful, did not covet the throne.
Bharata proceeded to the forests to request Rama to return to Ayodhya and accept his father’s
throne. He addressed the following words to Sri Rama “let you alone be the rule, since you know what
is right”.
But Sri Rama refused his request for the kingdom, gave his pair of wooden footware to Bharata
as his representative to rule the kingdom. Having taken leave of Rama, without realizing his ambition,
Bharata then returned to Ayodhya, ruled the kingdom from “Nandigrama” having placed “Padukas of
Sri Rama” on the throne.
Then Rama entered the Dandaka forst, anticipating the renewed visit of the people of Ayodhya
to that region. There he killed the demon Viradha and saw the sages Sarabhanga, Sutikshna, Agastya
and his brother. Sage Agastya gave him a bow, a sword and apair of quivers containing a inexhaustible
store of arrows.
All the sages dwelling in the forest went to Rama and requested him to kill the demons
troubling them in the forest. Rama promised to kill all those demons in Dandaka forst.
Then the demoness Surpanakha, who dwelt in Janasthana, was disfigured by Lakshmana with
the command of Rama. Sri Rama thus killed all the demons that came prepared at the instigation of
Surpanakha, including Khara, Trisira andDushana etc. followers. Fourteen thousand demons were
killed by Sri Rama in Dandaka forest.
Thus Sri Rama discharged his responsibilities as a good son, brother and the protector of
Dharma. That is why it is said “रामो यवग्रहवान् धमिः ‛ . Rama is the embodiment of Dharma.

Introduction: This lesson “िक्ष्यशुयिः ” is an extract from 126th chapter of Adiparava of Mahabharata
written by Vedavyasa.
Present Story: The master of archery Drona who was the guru of kauravas and Pandavas
wanted to know how far they had concentration towards their goal (which is the primary principle of
archery). Hence he made an artificial bird named Bhasa and Kept in between the leaves of a tree.
Then called his deciples and asked them to get ready for shooting the head of the bird which
was in between the leaves of the branches.
At first, he called Dharma Raja and asked him to be in the position to shoot the head of the
bird. He asked him to wait till he ordered. He asked Dharma Raja whether he was able to see the bird.
Then he answered that he was able to see it. Then Drona asked what else he was able to see along
with it. Then Dharma Raja said that he was seeing bot only the bird, but also his brothers, and master
who were on the otherside. Then Drona asked him to come back because he did not have proper
concentration in that aspect.
Later Duryodhana was called and asked to be in the position for shooting the head of the bird.
Then Drona asked him what things he was able to see along with the head of the bird. He
(Duryodhana) answered him, that he was able to see all his brother, master and beauty of the forest
along with it. Then Drona felt bad and told him that he was not having proper concentration. Which
was the primary principle of Archery.
Drona was disappointed when all the other deciples like Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva along with
other Kauravas expressed the same. Ultimately he asked Arjuna to take part in the test
When Arjuna was ready with bow and arrow aiming at the bird. Then Drona asked the same
question saying what else Arjuna was able to see along with the bird.
Then Arjuna answered him that he was not looking at anything, not even the neck of the bird
other than the head.
Then Drona felt happy and appreciated him concentration. Because an Archar should not see
anything other than his target when is in shooting position. Hence Arjuna proved his concentration by
making his master happy.
Another test conducted by Drona : Once Drona went to the river Ganga for taking bath. Then a
crocodile caught the leg of Drona. He wanted to know the skill of his deciples and decided to take their
help. He called his deciples and asked them to released him from the clutches of the crocodile.
All the deciples except Arjuna were helpless in finding the crocodile which was in the water.
Arjuna who had strong zeal to know the location of the crocodile used five arrows and released his
master from the clutches of the crocodile.
Then Drona felt happy by seeing he skill and technique of Arjuna who killed the crocodile
tactfully. He showed his happiness by presenting a divine astra ‘Brahmasira’.
He asked Arjuna not misuse it to solve ordinary problems created by humans. It must be used
only to restore universal peace.
Conclusion : Thus Arjuna’s steady concentration ‘िक्ष्यशुयिः ’ was appreciated by his master, who
made him as an extraordinary Archer.

1. ऱशयबिक्रवयतिनः भूतदयां यववृणत

वासवानिौ ऱशयबिक्रवयतिनं कथं परळऱक्षतविौ ?
INTRODUCTION: This present lesson ‘शरणागतरक्षणम्’ is an extract from written by ‘सं स्कृ ततृतळयादशिः .’
Essay: Long ago there was a king named Shibi of the Ushinara race. He was compassionate truthful
and pious. Not just human beings but the used to care about all the creatures like animals and birds.
He considered their problems as his and helped them.
Oneday an eagle that was hungry chased a Pigeon. Flying fast with feat the Pigeon came to king
Shibi and sought his help. The king gave assurance of safety and consoled the Pigeon. At the same time
the eagle came into the royal palace chasing the Pigeon and said Oh ! King ! I am troubled by the
hunger.
I chased this Pigeon for a long time but could not catch it. Now my desired in fulfilled. Please
leave this Pigeon “Then the emperor Shibi replied”. Oh ! king of the birds ! the Pigeon asked for
protection. Indeed the foremost duty of a king is to protect those who seek his help. So I cannot leave
it.
The eagle said to the kind “Oh Sir ! just like the Pigeon asked for your help I am asking for food.
It’s not proper to honour one and dishonor the other’s words. Moreover I did not eat food for two or
three days. If you don’t leave this Pigeon, I may lose my life. Without me my wife and children will
become orphans and die. Thus you may be doing the injustice, So to protect many lives leave this
Pigeon”.
Then the king replied “Oh noble one ! I shall provide you with some other food. Then you can
survive. This Pigeon too can be protected.
Listening to that, the eagled said to the king “Oh King ! Pigeon is a food created by good for the
eagles. There is no use of other food instead of the Pigeon”?
Then the king replied “Oh bird ! Don’t force me. I shall save the life of this Pigeon even by
giving up mine. This is my firm decision. So leave the Pigeon and ask for any other boon. I can grant
you”.
Then the eagled said “Oh King ! If that is your decision then give me flesh equal to the weight of
the Pigeon from the right part of your body. I shall satisfy myself with that.
Having heard the world of the eagle, the king felt happy and thought that the bird was saved
and he purpose of his life was served. Then he looked at his wife who was seated beside him.
His wife who knew his mind and who wanted to protect his fame brought a sword, cut his body
parts one after the other and put the flesh on the balance. As she started placing the flesh the Pigeon
grew heavier on the other side. The flesh on right side of the kings body was over. Then a tear drop
fell from the left eye of the king.
Seeing that the eagle said “Oh ! King your tear drop indicates that you regret giving your flesh.
So I don’t want to accept it”!
The king said, As the flesh on the right side was over the left part of the body felt happy that it
got a chance and shed a drop of tear in happiness but not in grief. Instead of the Pigeon you take my
entire body” saying so he sat in the balance.
Then there was a shower of flowers form the sky. All the worlds were surprised on seeing the
sacrifice of the emperor Shibi.
Then the eagle and the pigeon assumed their divine forms and said “Oh King ! We both are the
Goda Indra and Agni. We came to test your compassion towards all beings. Truly you are kind hearted.
Instantly all the wounds of the king healed by the grace of the Gods. The emperor Shibi ruled
his people in a pleasing way for a long time.

दशरथ श्रवणकु मारयोः वृिािं ऱिखत ।
INTRODUCTION: This lesson ‘यपतृसव
े ापरः श्रवणकु मारः ’ is an extract from ‘सायहत्यसुधा’ written by Sri
Charudeva Shastry”..
Essay: King Dasharatha belonged to the Solar race. He ruled people like they were his own
children. In order to know the life of sages living in the forest one night the king, all alone went into the
forest which was on the banks of the river Sarayu. In the darkness be heard the sound of a pot being
filled with water. Thinking that a wild elephant is drinking water, he shot an arrow in the direction
from where the sound came.
Hit by the arrow shot by him an ascetic fell on the ground shouting “Oh father ! Oh mother”.
Having heard a human voice the king went in that direction and saw a boy there and asked him who
he was feeling sorry for him. The boy said “Oh king my name is Shravana Kumara.
I came here to quench the thirst of my parent. I live in this forest and in what way did I trouble
you? Your arrows will kill me. But I am not worried. My parents are blind, old and depend on me. They
area thirsty and are waiting for me under a tree nearby. How can they survive without water? Oh King
! Please go to them and offer water to them. Saying so Shravana Kumara died.
Then king Dasharatha went to the parents of Shravana Kumara with the pot filled with water.
Shravana Kumara’s father heard his foot steps and asked “my son why did you delay ? Give the
water quickly. Our live depend on you Why don’t you speak”? Dasharatha who was shy and agraid said
Oh sages ! I am not Shravana. I am Dasharatha the king of Ayodhya and the one who killed your son”.
Saying so he narrated the incident. Later he requested them saying :first you quench you thirst and
later excuse me for the mistake committed out of ignorance. I will take care of you like your own son.
Though Dasharatha said those words, they were not pacified and it was like sprinkling of Salt on
their wound.
Later Dasharatha took them to the place where Sharavana died. There, the old parents who
were helpless and blind wept aloud for their son and became unconscious.
Having gained consciousness they wept saying “Oh son ! where did you go leaving us? Why
don’t you salute us? Why are you lying on the ground? Why are you angry on us? Why don’t you
embrave us? Who shall get us the fruits and roots? We will never send you to get water at odd times.
Why are you not answering us?”
Then Shravana Kumara’s father controlled himself and said “Oh king you killed my only son.
Hence you will also die with the grief of separation from your son. As you killed him unknowingly you
shall not get the sin of killed a Brahmin”. Cursing so the couple died.
Having performed their last rites Dasharatha sent them to heaven but he could never forget
the world of the father of Sharavana Kumara. Later while Rama was going on exile Dasharatha could
recollect those words. Unable to bear the separation from Rama then Dashratha too died.
Therefore, everyone should realized that one has to experience the result of his own actions
whether being aware or unaware of doing them.
