Hi friends, I have got the book Prithviraj Raso.. n since there r many people here who wld like to know whats there in PR Raso..I have decided to post it here chapter by chapter..
The hindi used in the book is Hi-fi - the old hindi that was used 1000 yrs ago..What i have written is all from my understanding off those verses....so pls forgive me if there are some quotes that i have given wrong
First few verses are all about saying thanks to gods n goddesses and praising them.
The story starts from here
Saint Vasishta wanted to do some yagna. He does the yagna on mt. Abu. The asuras or the demons come to know about this and creates problems thus stopping the yagna. 😡
Vasishta understands that he needs someone who would fight with the asuras when the yagna is going on. 😔So he prays to lord Shiva and from the fire creates four shatriyas(warriors). These four fight with the asuras and Vasishta is able to complete the yagna.👏
These four and their decendents were very brave and they came to be known as Rajputs.😊 Thats why Rajput men are called as Agni-purush and their dynasty is known as Agni-kul ie decendents of fire since they were born from fire.😎
Prithviraj was born in one of these dynasty.
Anangpal is the king of Delhi. His daughter Kamala was a devotee of goddess Gauri(Parvathi). She goes to the temple of Gauri near the banks of kalindi river and prays there. Goddess is pleased with her and gives her the boon that she will have a very brave son. 😃
Someshwwar is the king of Ajmer and Vijaypal is the king of Kannoj. Vijaypal wants to rule over delhi too so he sends a message to Anangpal to surrender. 😡Anangpal does not agree and a war breaks out between them. Someshwar helps Anangpal and defeats Vijaypal. Anangpal is impressed with Someshwar.👏 His elder daughter Sundari marries Vijaypal and the younger one- Kamala marries Someshwar.😊
Kamala gives birth to a son. There is great celebration in delhi and Ajmer. The jyotishis write down the horoscope of the child n says he will be very brave and become very famous. This child is named Prithviraj.🥳
Prithviraj grows up and goes to guru Ram's ashram and learn everything from there. 👏
Friends, the second chapter describes the ten avatars of Lord Vishu. Since it has nothing to do with prithvi or rajputs, i have decided to skip that chapter. So the next chapter that i'll post here will be the 3rd.
wow.... this is sooo cool....thanks for the post....can't wait for the next one...👏
