Today was a special day in the court of Ayodhya, it was Rameshwari's first day attending it. She was given the respected seat next to Shatrughan, on the right side of the throne which were occupied by her uncles.

Some regular matters were being discussed and Rameshwari actively participated in the discussion, eloquently speaking the words of wisdom.

Everyone in the court seemed impressed by her especially Shri Ram. But even after the deliberation upon those matters, the day wasn't about to get over yet.

A dwarpal entered the throne room, and informed about the arrival of Rishi Chyavan, the son of Sapt-rishi Bhrighu, along with some other sages.

Hearing about their arrival, Shri Ram told the ministers that they were free to leave now. Only his brothers and Rameshwari stayed back.

After the ministers had left, Shri Ram sent Lakshman to escort the sages here with respect. And the son of Sumitra did exactly that.

He respectfully greeted the radiant sages and brought them inside the throne room, where they were given seats to sit.

Shri Ram humbly washed their sacred feet with Rameshwari pouring water over them from a utensil.

After they were welcome in the way ordained by the scriptures, Shri Ram joined his hands in front of them.

"Rishi-jano, aapke aane se Ayodhya pavitra ho gayi. Batayiye hum aapki kya sewa kar sakte hai ? Mai apni jeevatma, samast sampatti athwa apna sarvaswa aapki sewa mei arpan kar sakta hu. Aap keval aagya kare, mai aapke har aadesh ka palan karunga." Shri Ram said.

"Hey Nar-shresht, iss Yug mei aisi baate toh keval aapke mukh se sunne ko milti hai." Rishi Chyavan said.

"Sewa ka avsar pradaan kare Rishivar." Shri Ram said with a smile.

"Rajan, hum bahut se mahabaliyo ke paas sahayata ke liye gaye hai. Parantu humare kasht ka karan sun, sab piche hatt Gaye. Kintu Aapne humare manorath sune bina hi, sewa ka vachan dediya. Ab hume gyaath hai ki hum par aaye sankat ka niwaran ho jayega. Hey Ram aap dhanya hai." Chyavan said.

"Yeh toh humare Raghukul ke sanskaar hai Rishivar. Aap ashwast ho, hume apna manorath bataye. Hum aapki sahayata Awashya karenge. Aap par aaye sankat ka naash kardenge." Shri Ram said.

"Humare sankat ka karan, Madhu Rakshas ka putra Lavanasur. Jo Madhurapuri ka Raja hai. Woh Rakshas pratidin, Rishi-muniyo ko apna ahaar banata hai. Yamuna tat par bas rahe tapasviyo ki basti usne ujaad di hai. Uske bhaye se peedit huye Rishi, anek Rajao ke paas jaa kar sahayata maangte hai kintu Lavan ke bhaye se koi unki sahayata nahi karta." Chyavan said.

"Lavan mei aisa kya hai ki Bharatvarsh ke Raja usse bhayebhit hai ?" Shri Ram asked.

"Rajan, Mahadev ne uske Pita Madhu ko apne Trishul ka ek pratibimbh diya tha. Unhone vardaan diya tha ki jab tak woh Trishul uske haath mei rahega tab tak usse mara nahi jaa sakta. Madhu chaahta tha ki woh Trishul uske vansh mei hi rahe, kintu yeh sambhav na tha iss liye Mahadev ne kaha ki Madhu ke baad uske ek putra ko woh Trishul milega aur fir punah unke vastavik Trishul mei leen ho jayega." Chyavan said.

"Ek Rakshas ke paas Trishul ka pratibimbh ?" Lakshman asked.

"Asur vansh ka hote huye bhi Madhu atyant sharnagat-vatsal, Brahman-bhakt aur devtao ka mitra tha. Usne Madhurapuri mei apna Rajya sthapit kiya. Kintu uska putra Lavan atyant krur nikla. Apne maha-paapi putra se nirash hokar Madhu Rajya tyaag samudra mei chala Gaya. Aur Lavan Madhurapuri ka Raja ban gaya aur usko woh Trishul praapt ho gaya. Tabse chaaro oor usne atank faela rakha hai kintu uss divya Trishul ke bhaye se koi uske virudh yudh nahi karta." Chyavan said.

Shri Ram nodded as Rameshwari looked at him, knowing he will commit himself to kill Lavanasur. Although she knew he can single-handedly get rid of that daitya, but the life Kosal-naresh shouldn't be put in danger when alternatives are available.

"Maharaj, koi bhi nirnaye lene se poorv meri ek baat sune." She said.

"Kahiye Rajkumari ?" Shri Ram asked with a smile.

"Lavanasur ke paas woh Divya Trishul hai. Iss liye kripya aap usse yudh kar apne praan sankat mei na daale. Mujhe Maa Durga ka vardaan praapt hai. Aap mujhe jaane ki anumati dijiye." Rameshwari said.

"Kintu tumhe yudh ka anubhav nahi hai, Rameshwari." Shri Ram said.

"Bhaiya, toh mai Rameshwari ke saath jayunga. Bharat bhaiya aur Lakshman bhaiya ko toh aapne sewa ka avsar diya hai kintu chhota samajh ke mujhe nahi. Yadi ab aapne mana kiya toh mai Maan lunga ki aapko mere shaurya par vishwas nahi." Shatrughan said.

"Tumhara toh naam hi Ripudaman hai. Mujhe tumhare shaurya par poorn-vishwas hai. Tum Lavanasur ka daman Awashya kar doge aur Rameshwari ko bhi surakshit rakhoge. Mai kal hi tumhara Rajyabhishek kar, tumhe Madhurapuri ka Raja ghosit kar, tumhe aur Rameshwari ko sena ke saath Madhurapuri par aakraman karne bhejunga." Shri Ram said.

A smile appeared on the faces of Bharat, Lakshman and Rameshwari while Shatrughan frowned.

"Rajyabhishek ? Bharat bhaiya aur Lakshman bhaiya ke hote huye, Mai kaise Raja ban sakta hu ?" Shatrughan asked.

"Yahi shaashtra-niyukt hai Chachashree. Lavan ke baad uska koi vanshaj nahi jo Madhurapuri ka Raja ban sake. Kintu keval yudh kar hum waha arajakta toh nahi laa sakte, iss liye aapka Rajyabhishek anivarya hai." Rameshwari said.

"Ramey ne satya kaha. Yadi Lavan ka koi putra hota toh mai uska Rajyabhishek kar deta. Kintu uska koi vanshaj nahi. Lekin chuki tum yudh jeetoge toh Madhurapuri par tumhara adhikar hoga iss liye Raja bhi tum hi banoge." Shri Ram said.

"Yadi yahi aagya hai, toh mujhe swikaar hai."  Shatrughan said with a bow.
