VALMIKI |
|
|
The dacoit went and
asked his family. All the members said "No." He came back sad. He went and said
to the rishi, "Sir, they do not want to share the punishment."The dacoit then
said, "what should I do?" The rishi said, "Give up your evil ways. Worship
God.Only He can help you."
"How should I worship God?" he asked.
The rishi said, "Pray to Rama. Say RAMA, RAMA, RAMA, all the time." The dacoit
could not say the word right. He went on saying "MARA-MARA-MARA" day and night
for years.A great anthill grew up around him. Valmika in Sanskrit means anthill. |
