to o near the sun, because the heat will burn his feathers. Jatayu did not

care. Then Sampathi flew higher than Jatayu and spread his wings wide to

protect him. Because of this Sampathi’s wings got burned and he fell down on the

earth. He started living near the sea. Jatayu started living near Panchavati on

a tree. He became a close friend of Lord Rama and Sita. One day Jadayu saw that

dying. When Rama came back Jatayu told Rama how Ravana has taken Sita and then

monkeys about it and died.

35. What

was the capacity of Jaambhavantha to fly as told to Vaanara Sainya?________

76 Yojana100 Yojana96 yojana90 Yojana

Jambavantha (also known as Jambavan or Jamvanta) is a bear

in Indian epics and believe to lived from Krita Yuga to Dvapara Yuga. He is

also considered King of bears and first son of Brahma, before humans were

created. Jambavan was present when the churning of the ocean took place and is

supposed to have circled Vamana seven times when he was acquiring the three

worlds from Mahabali. While circling he touched the Meru Parvatha, and got some

pain/damage to his legs, so he had lost some of his capacity of flying. He was

the King of the Himalayas who had incarnated as a bear in order to serve Lord

Rama. He had received a boon from Lord Rama that he would have a long life,

handsome and would have the strength of ten million lions. Jambavantha had

killed a lion, who had acquired a gem called Syamantaka from Prasena after

killing him. Many experts believe this gem was later renamed as the Koh-i-Noor

diamond of the present day[1]. Krishna was suspected of killing Prasena for the

jewel, so he tracked Prasena's steps until he learned that he had been killed

by a lion who had been killed by a bear. Krishna tracked Jambavantha to his

cave and a fight ensued. After twenty-one days, realizing who Krishna was,

Jambavantha submitted. He gave Krishna the gem and also presented him his

daughter Jambavati, who became one of Krishna's wives. In the epic Ramayana,

Jambavantha helped Rama find his wife Sita and fight her abductor, Ravana.

Later, having known of the capacity of Hanumantha, it is he who forced Hanuman

with his immense capabilities and encourages him to fly across the ocean to

search for Sita in Lanka.

36. Who

came forward to ask Hanumantha to take rest for a while, on his way to

Lanka?__________

GomanthaRushyamookaMainaakaGirimooka

On seeing Hanumaan higher up in the sky on his journey by

air, the Ocean king wanted to honor him. So, he asked Mainaaka Parvatam with

golden peak that was submerged under the ocean to rise and request Hanumaan to

take some rest. Accordingly, he arose from the ocean and prayed to Hanumaan to

rest for a while before proceeding further. Hanumaan thought that this might be

a ruse to delay, if not stop, his mission. Mainaaka convinced him saying that

once upon a time all the Mountains had wings and were flying hither and thither

causing hurt to others and Indra cut their wings with his vajraayudam. Thanks

to Vaayu (Wind God), he escaped the wrath of Indra and took refuge under the

ocean and that it was by way of showing gratitude, he made that request.

Hanumaan however told him that since he was on an urgent and important mission,

he could not oblige and took leave of Mainaaka and proceeded further.

37.

What is the name of Seetha's father?_______________

SeeradhwajaKushadwajaTondamaanaSamudraraja

Seetha's father is always called by the name

"Janakaraja". But please note "Janaka" is the family

name(Surname). His name is Seeradhwaja. His brother is Kushadwaja. Once there

was a king called Nimi. He visited Rishi Vasisht to ask him to perform yagna.

Vasistaru refuses the particular date as he has to perform yagna to Indra.

Hence Nimi goes to Gautam Rishi, who accepts and does perform. After the yagna

at Indra’s is over and done with, Vasistaru visits King’s palace to start the

yagna. Upon hearing that another Rishi had already performed, Vasista is

humiliated, because he is the actual guru of the King. Therefore, Vasista

curses the king that his soul will depart his body the very same day. Therefore

King Nimi dies. Since there was no heir to the kingdom, Gautam Rishi performs

rituals and pours milk on dead body of Nimi and curdles it with appropriate set

of tools (‘manthan’). The milk turns into a golden yellow froth from which

comes a new body and a new person, who is named as Mithila (one from manthan)

or janaka (who takes care of kingdom). He was handed the reins of the Kingdom.

All subsequent Kings were named as mithi** or jana** and hence janaka’s

daughter is named as Janaki.

38. How

did Ravana got 10 heads and became dashanana?____________

1. By cutting his head 10 times

and each time gaining it back2. By the varaa of Brahmadevaru3. By the varaa of Shiva4. By the grace of his parents

The 3 bros (Ravana, Kumbakarna and Vibheeshana) do yagna to

Brahma. But Ravana is not comfortable with yagna and feels out of place. So, to

impress Brahma and speeden the process, he cuts his own head and puts it into

fire. Brahma, much too impressed, puts it back. Ravana repeats. Brahma repeats.

And so they play on for about 10 times in toto. Finally Brahma, thinks ‘Enough

is enough!’ and appears before them. Hence, Ravana is said to possess 10 heads!
