Sorry Vibishna, I am a little slow today. Which Sagar are you taking about? I hope you do not mean Ramanand Sagar. Did he have 2 wives?

🤣

OMG, Mandodari, Godisone is going to fry you😲

🤣

No, we were talking about Rama's ancestor Sagar, after whom the oceans are named. He's the one who had the wives that Vibs described accurately. His older queen begat Asmajas, who was a sadistic prince who enjoyed drowning babies, and who was banished and his son Anshuman was made ruler. The other 60,000 (I always forget whether it was 60000 or 60 - either way, must have been externally born) were the ones who got incinerated by Rishi Kapila for accusing him of stealing the Ashwamedha horse, which actually Indra stole😡😡😡

Ramanand's 2 wives???!!! What a hoot (don't take it personally, Mandodari, but this is the funniest thing I've read in a while🤣

Well thanks to u n Vibs actually to come up with a vital info👏👏

Us discussing it yest was a nice co-incidence or never know Sagars are reading the posts😉😃

If they are, they are really quick - only last night you posted this, and by tonight, we have a pregnant Karkari trudging along home😉😉😉

Since last shot was Sita & Rama's palace, maybe we'll get a bit of Raghukul moments tomorrow?

bhaiya:

I am not able to open the daily discussion thread😕 it happened to me yest too so will try n answer here...

Even though Valmiki had written it before , maybe it was in a skeleton form ,he might have known the main incidents of ram's life and might have been collecting what happenend throu word of mouth( as the bards used to collect info about a royal family and then go on places singing it) but with this curse that he uttered , he found that he had 'invented' the anushtup metre and was very influenced by this, making his resolve of writing Ramayana more firm and on Brahma's behest he converts the written matter into the newly invented metre; like Brahma says" Thou write what is/was visible, thou write what wasn't visible (to you) but thou shall not write false" this appeared in today's epi too in form of a song.

Plus every poet has to get a 'poetic empathy'-imaginitive projection on which the poem rests ,thus the hunter incident triggered Valmiki's empathy and he took a resolve to write Ramayana in form of that metre.

(this is my explaination)

Coming back to the discussion - I have a question/doubt /view.....

It is a belief in south India, well atleast in TN that siblings should not be married in the same muhurth. And I sometimes feel it is taken from the Ramayan as an example. The four brothers and sisters were married in the same muhurth and truly speaking did not lead a peaceful wedded life till the end. May seem a blind belief but still......... Can this be true?
