SUMMARY: Srirama ensured that all those who had come with him were given their deserving-best worlds.

Srirama told Lord Brahma that each and every being should be given the most deserving places. The deities, who had taken birth as monkeys and bears to serve the Lord in the war against Ravana were also given the best possible worlds in the heavens. However, some of these deities did not discard their human forms. The reasons are discussed in the following lines.

The twin deities of Nasatya and Dasra are commonly known as Ashwini Devatas. Of them, Nasatya was born as Mainda and Dasra as Vivida. These two had done penance and secured boons from Lord Brahma. They had demanded with Brahma that they should not get killed by anyone and their body should never look aged or elderly. After securing these boons, the two brothers had become headlong. At that time, the gods and demons had undertaken the churning of the ocean. Sri Hari took the incarnation of Dhanvantari during the churning. Lord Sri Hari took the incarnation of Mohini to distribute the Elixir among the deities and demons. The demons were not willing to allow Mohini to distribute the Elixir. Someone had to protect the urn containing elixir. The deities chose Mainda and Vivida to protect the urn. As the two brothers had secured a boon from Lord Brahma that they could not be killed by anyone, they tried to consume the elixir, unmindful of the deities who were engaged in the war. The deities somehow saw them consuming the elixir but did not object since they were deities too. However, since they had displayed arrogance, injustice, dishonesty and disloyalty, the elixir enhanced their demonic trait. Due to this demonic attitude, the two brothers were indulging in quarrels. When the demonic mood was a little less, they joined the army of Sugreeva during the Ramavatar and took part in the task that Lord Hari had undertaken to reduce the burden on Earth by destroying the demons. When Srirama was about to end his tenure on Earth, the demonic attitude in them exploded once again. They did not join the deities who accompanied Srirama and they did not die either since they had consumed elixir.

Vibheeshana, who was spiritually awakened, did not join Srirama at the behest of Srirama. He became the chief commander of the armed forces of Kubera. He will be living on Earth till the end of tenure of present Brahma. He is living in Lanka, meditating on Srirama and protecting the kingdom of demons.

Similarly, Angada, son of Vali, Kusha, son of Srirama, did not join Srirama under the instructions of the latter. However, they continued to live till they were able to install their heirs on the respective thrones and returned to the heavens, where Srirama or Sri Hari blessed with most deserving worlds.

Srirama completed the task of assigning best possible places to everyone and returned to the heavens. He started living in the heavens in one of his forms and is bei

ng worshipped by all the deities. He took another form to live in Satyaloka and in one more form Sri Hari started living in Shweta Dweepa. All deities, including Hanumantha, worship him here.

Rest in the next.
