@ Purvi,

The root of kausheya is kosha or kausha. It means ? among other ones ? the sheath covering the silk worm. This is nothing but the 'pupa'. The pupa is called kausha or kOsha.

The derived meaning of the term kausheya is 'cloth made from the cocoon shell'

however in Ramayana; Ma Sita wears two kinds of silk , one Kausheya and another made from 'Shalmali' tree which usually is known as Cotton-silk ; It used to be of the color 'Ochry '

I think Jute is much later originated.

The reference of Kausheya as silk is from Indo-eurasian research on yahoo groups....

Most welcome, Vibhishna.

Cotton-silk is widely used in south-India, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, Sagars didnt show Sitama wearing any ornaments when She came out of Agni. It was upsetting to see this as there was no jewellery shown at all.

What happened to all those Vanars who lost their life during the battle?

And from Lanka, Shri Ramji with others came by Pushpak-Viman but how about all those vanars. How did they go back to their home?

Also, i'v heard from somewhere that after the battle Shri Ramji asks a devta (cant remember who it was, mayb Indra or Yama) to give back the life of those who died in the battle. Is ths true?

Lord Indra offers a boon to Sri Ram after the war and Lord Ram asks that all the vanars who died in the battle to be brought back to life.

In the Valmiki Ramayan, all the vanars went with Lord Ram to Ayodhya.

In today's epis, its not shown anyfin like that.
it seems like that they jus left all the vanars there in Lanka!😕

You mean, all the vanar-sena went back to Aydohya wid Lord Rama!??
