The Demoness Tarka Gets Salvation

While walking alongside Visvamitra, one could admire Shri Ram's reddish eyes, a broad chest and long thin arms.The dark colour of his body was as the blue lotus or even as the blue tamala tree, A yellow sash was tied around His waist, a quiver hung on His back, His hands held a set of bow and arrow.

Vishvamitra thought to himself, how lucky could he get, to get the two boys, one fair the other dark. Just for him, to help the devtas and the Brahmans, the lord had left His own father.

The demoness Tarka, hearing them on the way, scurried up in a rage. As soon as the sage pointed her out to the Lord, with a single shaft, He ended her life. Recognising, that the demoness deserved compassion, the Lord bestowed upon her His ultimate grace.

Even though, Ram is acknowledged as the fountain of knowledge, Vishvamitra imparted to Him a sacred formula that would arm Him against hunger pangs, thirst and endow Him with vigor and strength. After handing over the cachet of weapons he had, Vishvamitra took the boys to his hermitage, and lovingly offered them, bulbs, roots and fruits to eat. The sage, had found true friends!

Our Lord Ram, is a compassionate Lord. He knew that Tarka had been harrassing the devtas, and not letting them complete their sacriftces. Even then, after putting an end to her miserable existance, He sent her to His abode. Our task is veryt simple, have no doubt, just ask him for deliverance and then be in Ram Rajya! JAI HO!
