BIRTH OF RAGHU |
|
| SRI Rama is
often called Raghupati or Raghava. It is because he was a descendant of King Raghu who ruled this country. The lkshvaku kings ruled the country before Raghu. Dilipa was a famous Ikshvaku king; Sudhakshina was his queen and rishi Vasishtha was their Guru. For a long time Dilipa had no children and so he and his queen felt very sad at heart. One day the king asked Vasishtha: "Sire! With your blessings, my country and my people prosper, but I am unhappy. My queen is always in tears." The rishi asked: "What ails you so much, my son?" Dilipa replied: "Our life is barren without a child. Holy Sage, shall we get one at all?" |
