If we inculcate virtues of politeness, courteousness, and humility in our conduct we can win over all the obstacles in our life. A person possessing the virtues of truth and good character is always liked and respected. Like the flag mounted on the top of a chariot is visible even when the chariot is not from a distance in the battlefield, in the same way a person with the virtues of truth and good character gets glory in all parts of the world and his name spreads even to that part of the world where he has never been to.
As in the battlefield the fall of flag signifies defeat, same way if a man compromises with the virtues of truth and good character, he is considered as a defeated human being. Bal bibeka dama parahita ghore, chama kripa samata raju Jore. The four incredible horses of the Dharmarath are strength bal , wisdom and rationality bibek , self-restraint and control dam , and the desire to do good to others.
The reins of these horses are the three virtues namely, forgiveness kshama , compassion kripa , and equality samta. An individual with self-control and self-restraint can control the reins in a most dignified manner.
It is a common belief that success brings along with it pride and arrogance, but if a person has these three virtues by his side, he remains humble and is surrounded by noble thoughts throughout his life. Isa bhajanu sarathi sujana, birati carma santosh kripana. In this phrase Lord Rama describes who the charioteer is and what qualities does it take to be a victorious one. Devotion and faith in God act like a successful charioteer. The virtue of renunciation virti is a strong shield and contentment santosh is the symbolic sword of this Dharamrath.
Individuals who have absolute faith in God and leaves all in his hands, never get disappointed. The Almighty nurtures his devotees and no force of nature can disturb them. A person who has inculcated the art of detachment from the worldly desires is always fearless in the times of hardships. Dana parasu budhi sakti pracanda, bar bigyana kathina kodanda.
In this phrase Lord Rama explains how the attribute of being charitable daan and contributing for a noble cause acts like a powerful battle-axe. Hence, man should give donations and do charity work to the best of his capabilities. He further adds how intelligence, critical thinking, and a logical mindset act like a sharp spear.
A wise man can not only control his present but can plan his future as well. He further adds how in-depth understanding of any situation and ability to think logically are the tough bows. But intellect and insightful mind go hand in hand, as one needs deep knowledge of a subject to make use of his intellect. Amala acala mana trona samana, sama jama niyama silimukha nana.
Status Not open for further replies. Well-known member. Valmiki Ramayana, Yuddha Kanda, Chapter , Verses 5 to Ravana for his part, standing in his chariot struck Rama with thunderbolt-like arrows, as a cloud strikes gushes of rain on a huge mountain.
With an attentive mind, Rama showered golden decked arrows, looking like blazing flames of fire, on Ravana in the battle-field. The gods, celestial musicians and kinnaras the mythical beings thought that the battle was not equal between Rama standing on the ground and Ravana fighting from a chariot. Hearing their nectar-like words, the illustrious Indra, the chief f celestials then called Matali and spoke as follows: "Go quickly with my chariot to Rama, who is standing on the earth.
After reaching the earth, invite him to take his seat in the chariot and carry out a great service to the gods. Providing with green horses the excellent chariot, I will proceed then immediately and perform the duty of a charioteer to Rama. Ascending the chariot, as enjoined by Indra and descending from paradise, Matali approached Rama.
Then Matali, the charioteer of Indra, along with a whip in his hand, stayed in the chariot itself and joining his palms in salutation, spoke the following words to Rama. Here is the great bow belonging to Indra, an armour shining as fire, some arrows as bright as sun and a stainless auspicious spear.
O heroic king! Mounting this chariot with me as a charioteer, kill Ravana the king, as earlier Indra the lord of celestials killed the demons. Then ensued a tumultuous and thrilling battle, between the great armed Rama and Ravana, the demon. Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda This post is only for sharing, since many of us might not know who was the charioteer for Sri Rama when he fought against Ravana. Similar threads.

Seeing those arrows approaching Him on the battlefield, Rama employed the formidable and dangerous weapon of Garuda. Angered by the annulment of his weapon, Ravana then showered Rama with direful arrows. Afflicting Rama with one thousand arrows, Ravana then struck Matali with one hundred. When the gods, gandharvas, caranas, siddhas, danavas and great sages saw that Rama was afflicted, they became dejected.
The monkey leaders and Vibhishana became disturbed. When the planet Mars saw the moon of Rama being eclipsed by Ravana, it attacked the star Rohini, the dear consort of the moon, thus indicating misfortune for all living beings.
With its misty waves tossing, the ocean seemed to be burning. It rose up very high at that time, as if it wanted to touch the sun. The sun became dim, grayish and harsh-looking.
It could be seen with a headless body on its lap and a comet. The constellation Vishakha presided over by Indra and Agni which is auspicious for the Ikshvaku Dynasty was being attacked by the planet Mars.
With his ten heads and twenty arms, and holding a bow, Ravana looked like Mount Mainaka. Being overcome by the ten-headed rakshasa, Rama was unable to place His arrows on His bow during the battle. Knitting His brow, His eyes turned red. He became highly enraged as if He would burn the rakshasas to ashes with His eyes. Trikuta Mountain with its lions and tigers shook, its trees swaying. The ocean also became agitated. Emitting a harsh sound like the braying of asses, portentous clouds rumbled as they circled about everywhere in the sky.
Seeing Rama overwhelmed with wrath and observing ill omens, all living beings, including Ravana, became frightened. Seated in their aerial vehicles, the gods, gandharvas, nagas, sages, danavas, daityas, eagles and birds watched the battle between the two warriors as they fought with various kinds of weapons. That battle was like the dissolution of the world. All the gods and demons who had come to witness the great conflict were jubilant and shouted out encouragements with devotion as they watched.
In the meantime, the evil Ravana, angry as he was at Rama and desiring to kill Him, touched a large projectile. The projectile was like a thunderbolt.
