zgl#char. #vizvAmitra -m.- He is a celebrated *RSi or Sage [in the *gAdheya line] who was at first a fellow Family Priest, alongside #vasiSTha, serving under *sudAs, king of the *tRtsu-s. • Seeing *vasiSTha preferred by the king, he went over to the *bhAratas, but could not prevent their being defeated by *sudAs, although he caused the waters of the rivers *vipAz and *zutudri to retire [He's better than Moses!] and so give the Bharatas free passage. _RV. iii, 33. • He was born as a *kSatriya, deriving his *kauzika lineage from an ancestor of *kuzika the Squinty, named *purUravas the Noisy, of the Lunar race of kings, and himself Sovereign of *kanyA-kubja (Virgin's Hump) or Kanoj. • His fame rests chiefly on his contests with the great *brAhmaNa vasiSTha, and his success in elevating himself. though a kSatriya, to the rank of a brAhmaNa see Manu vii, 42: the *rAmAyaNa, which makes him a companion and counsellor of the young *rAma-candra, records [i, 51-65] how *vizvAmitra, on his accession to the throne, visited *vasiSTha's hermitage, and seeing there the cow of plenty (probably typical of *go, "the earth"), offered him untold treasures in exchange for it, but being refused, prepared to take it by force. • A long contest ensued between the king and the saint (symbolical of the struggles between the *kSatriya and *brAhmaNa classes), which ended in the defeat of *vizvAmitra, whose vexation was such that, in order to become a *brAhmaNa and thus conquer his rival, he devoted himself to intense austerities (during which he was seduced by the nymph *menakA and had by her a daughter, *zakuntalA), gradually increasing the rigour of his mortification through thousands of years, till he successively earned the titles of *rAjarSi, *RSi, *maharSi, and finally *brahmarSi.
vizvAmitra makes a Request
vAlMiki of the ANTHILL tells this tale:
Hearing the Lion-King proclaim that wonderful and hair-raising oration,
then
*vizvAmitra, the friend of all, gave this reply:
-1-
**va. ... raised from joy, ... *vlm....unusually lengthy speech ... erect with joy....
*vizvAmitra:
A worthy speech for a leopard among monarchs,
born in a line of great monarchs,
and instructed by *vasiSTha, that supreme sage!
-2-
**va.
... descendant of Vamsha, ....
What you promised in that heart-felt speech, now is your duty to do,
Leopard King,
for that is how you uphold the rule of the *dharma.
-3-
**vlm. ... support the cause of virtue."
Bull among men,
my dharma is to offer sacrifices to attain Empowerment.
But hordes of bloody *rAkSasa Demons violate my sacrifices.
When I offer my offerings to the host of divinities,
then they, those NightRovers,
come and contaminate my offerings.
-5-
Again and again,
while I do my work,
the Demon *rAkSasa warriors come forth,
scattering filth
and meat
and blood upon the altar.
-6-
So I've been driven.off from my altar and my sacrifices,
and come before you, despondent, even angry in my sorrow.
But I am not permitted to give vent
to anger in my mind, such is the rule;
and I cannot express it by
casting a curse:
such are the rules of sacrifice.
But with your help, your grace, I can freely complete my sacrifice
and earn by it a great reward.
-9-
It is your duty to protect a supplicant.
To fail to give protection is a shameful deed in a person of high estate.
-10-
+
You have a son,
a handsome youth,
proud as a lion, and as strong;
as brave as *indra the GodKing.
He can rip those Demons apart!
-11-
Leopard-King,
you must let me have
*rAma,
your son with raven hair, that brave boy, that superior man,
*rAma,
the best of the brave.
-12-
With the divine protection of my *tejas Heat,
he'll have the power to mangle those foul *rAkSasa Demons, decapitating them.
-13-
And I will celebrate his fame throughout the three worlds, endlessly:
in every way he'll be renowned.
-14-
Those Demons will take to their heels
when they see *rAma like a thick-maned lion tracking-down a deer.
No other man can take them on in battle but the scion of the Bullrider.
Who else would dare do battle with mad elephants?
-16-
Puffed-up with valor in battle, those warriors
are like the *kAlakUta poison that turned *ziva's throat blue.
Led by *khara the Mule and *duSana the Spoiler,
they are as fierce as Death, the end of things.
-17-
Leopard-King,
even they cannot endure the constant shower of *rAma's arrows, smothering them
like dust drowned in a thunderstorm.
-18-
Do not, your majesty,
let your love for your son persuade you to deny me.
In this world,
there can be no limit to the generosity of a Great Soul like you!
-19-
I know
most certainly
that those demonic *rAkSasa-s will be destroyed.
And you know
that wise men like us know no uncertainty.
-20-
I know
the lotus-eyed *rAma to be a Great Soul,
and so does *vasiSTha the Supreme, of great *tejas.
So do all these wise men.
-21-
If you have any thought for the dharma,
for greatness,
for fame,
then this you must do:
give me your son.
-22-
Only ten nights remain for me to make my sacrifice.
*rAma will kill those Demons when they try to violate my sacred work.
-23-
Led by *vasiSTha the Supreme,
let your ministers all give their unanimous consent.
And then,
your majesty,
give me *rAma.
-24-
Son of the Swift,
Timekeeper,
may I not have wasted all this time in uncompleted sacrifices.
So let me give my blessing,
and let your mind be free from grief.
-25-
However slight, a duty done in good time is faithful service;
however great, a duty done too late is no service at all.
-26-
*vAlMiki of the ANTHILL:
And with these words, *vizvAmitra,
the friend of all, soul of Dharma and Policy alike,
the lord of the Munis,
ended his speech.
-27-
That best and most accomplished of munis having spoken,
the silent king considered carefully what to reply.
Wise men do not give answer without consideration;
common folk will make a quick and empty-headed reply.
