I read a story of paduka why it was installed in throne instead Shri Rama, the story says that once upon a time in vaikuntha, sudarsana chakra and panchajanja conch teased Lord Narayan paduka by saying that padukas were not great or not revered by the devotees as conch or chakra. The padukas became sad and Lord Narayan heard their teasing and said in front of gods everybody is equal and next time he incarnte the padukas will sit in higher position than conch and chakra. 😃Therefor they will be worshiped not only by conch and chakra but also by everyone. That's why padukas worshiped by conch and chakra but also by sages, rishis, devas and humans when Lord Narayan incarnated as shri ram conch and chakra born as bharat and shatrughna, Wich shows don't tease people you think that they are lower position than you...because they might be greater than you ever might be.😊
Thanks for this story. I have heard this story long long ago, when I was a kid. And here is one more - a folk tale told to me by a friend. I don't know the origin, but it was an interesting one.
The throne of Ayodha was too vain and proud as it had always bore kings of high valour and those who were ever victorious. In this attitude, it showed disrespect to a sage (no idea how - the sage probably was Durvaas or Vishwamitra). The sage cursed it saying that it was too vain to be the throne of kings of such greatness and for this fault it will not be adorned by a ruler for fourteen years but instead by footwear. He also cursed that if a person sat on the throne in those fourteen years, he will meet his death very soon. And hence, Bharat's extreme devotion saved him from his death.
There was another story in which I read that Manthra was requested by Lord Indra to poison Kaikeyi's mind and send Ram to the forest so that he can kill Ravan. Manthra agreed for the good of the world but for ruining her reputation and her queen (Kaikeyi's reputation, she cursed Indra Dev that no one will ever worship him as a family deity or as a deity of the town or village. And hence, Indra Dev was never worshiped as a family deity. (But, if this was so, how come the people of Gokul and Brindhavan worshiped Lord Indra every year ? - the incident that happened in Sri Krishna's childhood).
Interesting stories but some are too incredible . . . No offence meant to anyone, I have just posted what I knew.
