[edit] References
- 2bhUpAlula garvambulaNacu – The episode pertains to the test of strength in the court of the King Janaka for the marriage of Sita. When sage Visvamitra asks King Janaka to show the bow of Siva, the King tells him that “not even the hosts of gods, demons, ogres, Gandharvas, Yakshas, Kinnaras and Nagas were able to string the bow. How can there be any capacity in human beings”. As the bow was brought in, the sage asks Sri Rama to take a look at the bow “vatsa rAma dhanu: pazya”. Before any could see the total sequence of events, the bow broke when Sri Rama tried to string it.
- 4virOcana sutu mati galigina bhayamu – At the time making friendship with Sugreeva, Sri Rama assures him that he would kill his brother Vali. However, since Sugreeva did not know about Sri Rama and his prowess, he keeps on harping on the might of his brother. Whereupon Sri Rama asks Sugreeva to tell what feat He should accomplish in order to prove his prowess. Sugreeva points to seven gigantic Sal trees which he says Vali would be able denude them by shaking their boughs and he could pierce each one of them with his arrows. He also points to the huge carcass of the Dundubhi lying there who was killed by Vali. Then Sri Rama kicks the carcass with his toe and hurls it to a distance of ten Yojanas – eighty miles. As the doubt of Sugreeva was still not clear, Sri Rama takes an arrow and aims at the Sal trees; the arrow pierces all the seven trees in one go and returns to His quiver. Thus Sugreeva was satisfied that Sri Rama would be able to kill Vali.
