Maharishi Vishwamitra’s Quest and Shri Ram Rise
One day, Maharishi Vishwamitra arrived at King Dasharatha’s palace. The king was very happy with their arrival and welcomed him with respect. King Dasharatha said to Maharishi Vishwamitra, Whatever you command, I will follow it fully; because you are a god for me as a householder due to being a respectable guest. Brahman! Today, with your arrival, I have received the great results of all my Dharm.This is the opportunity for my great rise.
Hearing these wonderful words of King Dasharatha, the mighty Vishwamitra was moved and speak in this way.
‘Man of excellence! I perform a rule (Yagya) for accomplishment. In it, two demons who can take any form are causing obstacles. Most of the work of this rule (Yagya) of mine has been completed. Now, at the time of its completion, those two demons have come. Their names are Marich and Subahu. They are both strong and educated.’
‘They have showered blood and flesh on my sacrificial altar. In this way, my hard work went in vain due to disruption in that almost finished rule (Yagya).’
I want you to send your truthful and brave eldest son Shri Ram with me. By remaining safe from me, he is capable of destroying those destructive demons with his divine brilliance.
‘Having received that credit, he will become famous in all three worlds. Coming in front of Shri Ram, both those demons could not stand’.
Worry of King Dasharatha for Shri Ram
Hearing these words of the brilliant Vishwamitra ji, King Dasharatha became worried because he loved Ram ji very much and fainted. King Dashrath said that Ram is only sixteen years old, how will he face those demons. If You want, I will take all my soldiers and come with you.

Hearing these words of King Dasharatha, Maharishi Vishwamitra became angry. He said that you of the Rakhuvanshi clan never go back on your word, the whole world praises your fidelity to your word. If you do not want to fulfil your promise, then I will leave the same way I came. The entire earth trembled with his anger.
Then Maharishi Vashishtha explained to King Dasharatha that nothing about the past or future is hidden from Maharishi Vishwamitra and hence he should let Shri Ram go with him. Maharishi himself is capable of killing those demons but he wants to do the welfare of your son. Thus King Dashrath ordered Shri Ram to go with Maharishi Vishwamitra.
