Meghanada was the son born to Ravana from Mandodari, who was
the daughter of Mayasura. At the time of his birth, he cried terribly that
sounded like thunder. That is why he was named Meghanada, who later acquired
the title “Indrajit” as he defeated Indra.
Having explained the prominent demons and the trouble they created for deities and
the universe. Severely tortured and tormented by these demons and their
followers, the deities decided to seek relief from Lord Brahma.
Meanwhile, king Dasharatha descended in the Suryavamsha, a
dynasty named after Sun. He was able to travel in his chariot without any
obstacle or obstruction in east, south, seven nether worlds, the heaven in
space and other worlds covering all the ten directions. That is why, he was
being called Dasharatha, where Dasha means ten and Ratha means the chariot. Being
the overlord of all the seven islands, he was living in Ayodhya. He was highly
spirituous and culture-bound. As he had
no children, he summoned Sumantra and other ministers and discussed the matter
with them so as to find a solution. He was confident that if he could impress
upon ever-beloved of devotees Srihari, nothing was impossible on this earth.
Therefore, he instructed his Ministers to make all the arrangements for the
performance of Ashwamedha Yajna. He
procured the essential items needed for the performance of Ashwamedha.
He waited for some time to speak to Dasharatha,
when he was alone. As soon as he got such an opportunity, Sumanta told
Dasharatha: “Oh King, some time ago, I had participated in a meeting of Munis. At
that meeting, Sanatkumar had indicated the way for you to beget children. I
will now apprise you of that method.
