About the Ramayana :- The Ramayana (रामायण) is one of the two great Sanskrit epics of ancient India, alongside the Mahabharata. Composed by the sage Valmiki, it is often called the Adi Kavya — the first poem ever written in human history. With approximately 24,000 verses divided into 6 Kandas (books), it tells the story of Prince Rama of Ayodhya, his exile, the abduction of his wife Sita, and the great war to rescue her. But the Ramayana is far more than a story of war and rescue. It is the ultimate guide to dharma — righteous living. Rama embodies the ideal son, husband, king, and warrior. Sita represents unwavering devotion and inner strength. Hanuman demonstrates the power of selfless service and bhakti. Lakshmana shows the beauty of brotherly loyalty. Each character in this epic is a living lesson in how to navigate the complexities of life with grace, courage, and moral clarity. The teachings of the Ramayana directly connect to the wisdom found in the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas. The concept of dharma that Krishna explains in the Gita is the same dharma that Rama lives and breathes throughout this epic.

"This admirable discourse given by you about Ganga is exhaustive in righteousness, oh, Brahman, and it will be apt of you to tell emphatically about the divine and earthly legend of the elder daughter of Himavanta, namely Ganga, for you are aware to expatiate upon it. [1-36-2]

हे ब्रह्मन्, आपने धर्मयुक्त यह परम तत्त्व बताया है। विस्तार को जानने वाले आप, पर्वतराज की ज्येष्ठ पुत्री को दिव्य और मानवी उत्पत्ति का विस्तार से वर्णन करने के योग्य हैं।

त्रीन्पथो हेतुना केन पावयेल्लोकपावनी |

कथं गङ्गा त्रिपथगा विश्रुता सरिदुत्तमा || १-३६-३

त्रिषु लोकेषु धर्मज्ञ कर्मभिः कैः समन्विता |

"By which reason that world purifier Ganga influxes into three paths? Oh, virtue-knower, and connected with which deeds of merit this triple-courser Ganga is renowned as the best one among all the rivers in three worlds?" Thus Rama and Lakshmana have asked the sage Vishvamitra. [1-36-3, 4a]

दृष्ट्वा च भगवान् देवीं मैथुनायोपचक्रमे |

"On his getting married to Uma, oh, Rama, the sublime-ascetic and bluish throated god Shiva, as his throat became blue when he consumed poison during the churning of Milky Ocean, at one time with a predilection towards her he has started lovemaking with her. [1-36-5b, 6a]

यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: पूर्वकाल में, भगवान शिव, जिन्होंने राम का विवाह कराया था, और जो महान तपस्वी हैं, देवी पार्वती को देखकर मैथुन के लिए उद्यत हुए।

"All of the gods on approaching and paying their deference to Shiva spoke this to him, 'oh, God of Gods, oh, one who is interested in the welfare of these worlds, oh, Great-God, considering the supplication of all gods it will be apt of you to bestow grace.' [1-36-8b, 9]

सभी देवता, महादेव को प्रणाम करके बोले, हे देवों के देव, महादेव! आप तीनों लोकों के कल्याण में लगे रहते हैं। देवताओं के प्रणाम करने पर आप प्रसन्न होकर उन पर कृपा करें।

त्रैलोक्यहितकामार्थं तेजस्तेजसि धारय |

रक्ष सर्वानिमान् लोकान्नालोकं कर्तुमर्हसि || १-३६-११

" 'Worlds cannot capably bear your offspring born out of your effulgence, oh, Supreme-God, hence you may practice yogic asceticism along with your consort Goddess Uma in unison with Vedic postulates of Yoga, rather than progeniture, and desiring the welfare of the three worlds you may please retain your refulgent seed within your own radiance, thus protect this universe, since it will not be apt of you to render it devoid of worlds with the efflux of the unmanageable potence of yours .' So said gods to Shiva. [1-36-10, 11]

हे देवों में श्रेष्ठ, लोक तुम्हारे तेज को धारण नहीं कर पाएंगे। देवी के साथ ब्राह्मण के तप से युक्त होकर तपस्या करो। तीनों लोकों के हित की कामना के लिए अपने तेज को अपने तेज में धारण करो। इन सभी लोकों की रक्षा करो, तुम्हें इन्हें नष्ट करने का अधिकार नहीं है।

मैं तेज को तेज में ही धारण करूँगा, उमा के साथ। देवता और पृथ्वी भी शांति प्राप्त करें।

Bala Kanda – Sarga 36 · v12

यदिदं क्षुभितं स्थानान्मम तेजो ह्यनुत्तमम् |

धारयिष्यति कस्तन्मे ब्रुवन्तु सुरसत्तमाः || १-३६-१४

" 'But that part which has already stirred up from its place is irrestrainable, as such, oh gods of eminence, you tell me who can contain that part of the unexcelled potence.' So said Shiva to gods. [1-36-14]

यह मेरा अतुलनीय तेज है जो अपने स्थान से विचलित हो गया है। हे देवगणों में श्रेष्ठ, मुझे बताएं कि इसे कौन धारण कर पाएगा।

Bala Kanda – Sarga 36 · v13

एवमुक्तास्ततो देवाः प्रत्यूचुर्वृषभध्वजम् |

यत्तेजः क्षुभितं ह्यद्य तद्धरा धारयिष्यति || १-३६-१५

एवमुक्तः सुरपतिः प्रमुमोच महाबलः |

तेजसा पृथिवी येन व्याप्ता सगिरिकानना || १-३६-१६

"Thus said by the gods that Yogi of par excellence and the God of Gods, Shiva, discharged his refulgent semen with which the earth together with its mountains and forests is overspread. [1-36-16]

हे देवों के राजा इंद्र ने, जो अत्यंत बलवान थे, ऐसा सुनकर अपने तेज से पृथ्वी को, पर्वतों और वनों सहित, व्याप्त कर दिया।

ततो देवाः पुनरिदमूचुश्चापि हुताशनम् |

आविश त्वं महातेजो रौद्रं वायुसमन्वितः || १-३६-१७

"Thereby the gods in their turn said even to Fire-god, 'you enter the great-potence of Rudra along with Wind-god, lest that potence may annihilate the earth and earthlings, because you can consume anything that comes in touch with you. [1-36-17]

तदग्निना पुनर्व्याप्तं संजातं श्वेतपर्वतम् |

दिव्यं शरवणं चैव पावकादित्यसंनिभम् || १-३६-१८

यत्र जातो महातेजाः कार्तिकेयोऽग्निसंभवः |

"And when Fire-god invaded that great-potence of Shiva it has emerged as White-mountain, also thus it has become as a divine forest of reeds equalling the Sun and Fire in its resplendence, wherefrom the highly brilliant Kumara has emerged. [1-36-18, 19a]

वह श्वेत पर्वत अग्नि से पुनः व्याप्त हो गया, और दिव्य शरवण भी अग्नि और सूर्य के समान प्रकाशित हो उठा। यहीं पर महातेजस्वी कार्तिकेय का जन्म हुआ, जो अग्नि से उत्पन्न हुए थे।
