Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 In a conversation with Sathya Sai Baba, it is reported that he had said - "At the time of Kaikeyi's wedding with Dasaratha, her father, the king of Kekaya had made known his desire: "O King Dasaratha! You have contemplated marriage with my daughter, Kaikeyi, in order to have progeny. Then, it is her son, who should become king, your successor, shouldn't he? Is this acceptable to you? If your queens Kausalya or Sumitra give birth to sons, Kaikeyi's son would lose the right to kingship, wouldn't he?" King Dasaratha listened to this wish, consulted Kausalya and Sumitra in the matter, apprised them of the implications, and won their approval." Is there any reference to this in any of the Puranas/Ithihasas? PKRamakrishnan Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Messenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
