Lady in Man's robes!
This is `special title' conferred on raamaa as
kim thvaa amanyatha vaidhEha: pithaa mE mithilaa adhipa:
raama jaamaatharam praapya sthriyam purusha vigraham 2-30-3
Meaning: What my father, the king of mithila, belonging to the country of vidhEha, think of himself having got you, as son-in-law, a woman having the form of a man?"
I mentioned srimadh poundareekapuram swamin has given many points on this slokam.
Now we will see these points.
1. Why seethaa offered this `title'. Since raamaa refused her in accompanying him to the forest. So seethaa thinking "hey he is my husband, so I can take some liberty to comment or criticize my husband" offers this. With that `special liberty' she did it, even though, she had high regard that raamaa is `brave'.
2. `vaidhEha: pithaa'- father janaka, is one who has come in the clan of `vidhEha' – they were all very sincere in their karma anushtaanam. Bhagavaan krishNa claims in bhagavath geethaa `karmaNai vahi samsidhdhim aasthithaa janakaadhaya:' –such a janaka is her father.
For those who are sincere in karmas, they want the wives to be with them always. No separation is allowed. So seethaa thought "father janaka will not permit such separation of wife from husband. But here raama says `I will go alone'. This means karma also will go. Separation also will be effected". So a comparison with her father on thekarma anushtaanam front results in the title that `you are a sthree'.
For a woman, helping in her husband's karma is her prime duty – her `karmaa'.
[the wives have to take part in the anushtaanams of husband - example – in the agni santhaanam she has to take, divide the rice held in hand and offer to husband, in turn, for his offer to the agni - daily twice. If she is not there, no agni santhaanam will take place – kindly recollect `gold seethaa idol' was kept by raama while he did the yagnam].
3. `kim thvaa amanyatha vaidhEha: pithaa – what he will think `I gave my daughter to a lady who came in man's garb, also broke the bow. I also gave my daughter foolishly'.
4. Philosophically thinking - as per slOkamsa Eva vaasudhEva: ayam saakshaath purusha uchyathEsthree praayam Ethath sarvam jagath brahma purassaram -sreeman naaraayanan alone is the purushan, male – all others are females only. So my father may have considered you as the female in the male garb and gave his daughter. So `sthriyam purusha vigraham'.
5. `raama ja amaathram' purusha: vigraham – if the words are split like this – then the meaning is – hey raama ja – one who is born to make other people in this world happy. So you made him happy by winning me.
Father janaka is happy of having obtained that purusha: as his son in law and now enjoying great happiness. If you proceed to forest leaving me behind his happiness also will suffer a dent. So how can you do that?
6. purusha: - male – vigraham means kalaham – if my dad has realized even a bit that kaikeyee, the step mother, is likely to do this kind of twisting etc he would not have given me in marriage to you.
raama purusha: vigraham - when he is forest all the rishees and munees are going to enjoy your manly physical beauty – of that purusha: - seethaa thinks `but here I am going to suffer in separation of you'.
[this is what happened. All rishis and munees wanted to enjoy raama by a physical union which was later materialized as krishNa and gOpees. So a foundation laid here]
7. `praapya sthriyam'- this is split as `praapi asthriyam' – means one who is not married to any other lady. Thinking that raama is having only my daughter as his wife, janaka is happy now. As per the adage "raajaana: bahu vallabhaa: - kings have many wives" – he has not checked whether you have another wife in the forest. That is why you are leaving me here to join that lady in the forest.
8. One who has leant asthraas is called asthree – visvaamithra is an asthree, for he taught raamaa several asthrams after thaataka vadham. Visvaamithra lives in forest. One who accompanies such an `asthree' [learned person of asthrams] is also called `asthree'. [that is a specialty of the Sanskrit language]. Since raama accompanied visvaamithraa to mithilaa, an asthree accompanying another asthree who likes to live in forest, now seethaa thinks `hey raamaa you also want to go forest, that too alone. No wonder'.
9. vEdham says brahmam is male as well female. Raamaa is brahmam. Maadhavan is the `loka pithaa cha maathaa' as per sreemadh bhaagavatham. So also raamaa the maadhava is `sthriyam purusha vigraham'.
10. Seethaa thinks, "The eldest son rightfully gets the kingdom of his father. This rule or procedure is prevalent here in kosala kingdom also. When kaikEyee said you leave to the forest by offering the kingdom to the young one bharatha, instead fighting for your right like a male, you are running to the forest like a lady of less guts. So sthriyam purusha vigraham".
Hope the title and the points are enjoyable. Since such a special title of `sthriyam purusha vigraham' is a consequence or a result of `breaking the bow' the same is included here in bow's story.
