VOLUME II

The second volume of Devayan covers the complete book on the Trita Mandala and partly the book on Rama Mandala. The Trita Mandala covers the activities of the Gods, Kings and Sages on one hand - and the evil deeds of Kali, Shani, Shukracharya, Ravan and Kumbhkaran on the other. It narrates the lives of the Kings from the Sun dynasty: King Harishchandra and his descendants, his son Rohitashwa, Rohitashwa's son Ikshwaku, Ikshwaku's son Dilip, Dilip's son Raghu and Raghu's son Aja. The well-known story of King Harishchandra who handed over his entire Kingdom and wealth to Sage Vishwamitra when under the influence of Kali has been narrated with great poetic style. How King Harishchandra adhered to truth in the most difficult circumstances has been brilliantly brought out by the poet. Under the spell of Kali, Vishwamitra struggled against Vashishtha and was instrumental in having his hundred sons killed. The saga of how Ravan by his yogic tapasya received the boon of immortality at the banks of the legendary lake Mansarovar, his establishment as a powerful King of Lanka and his repeated wars with the neighbouring Kings of the Silver Age, who were fighting on the side of the Gods in protecting heaven from Ravan's attacks, is fascinating. Rama Mandala describes the life of Aja's son Dashratha. It goes on further to cover the birth and the life of Dashratha's four sons, Rama the complete incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughan. The lives of these four princes are further depicted in the first two cantos of the Ramayana, the Bala Kanda and the Ayodhya Kanda. Many more vivid stories describe in detail the struggle of forces of Light against Darkness.
