who had crossed over the ocean and burned Lankaa to ashes get deluded by this illusion. At this high age, why this nuisance?‖ And again his thought took a turn. He said in his mind: ―Why consider it a nuisance? Would Mother give such a command without thinking? And when Mahaaraajaa Dashrath got married, he was much older than me. Then there is no question of age.‖ ―But why am I involved in this confusion? Women bind one into the matters of the world. They laugh without reason. And also cry without reason. At times serve like a maid. And other times would have no hesitance to disobey command. And when she disrespects, what should be the punishment? The monkey scriptures recommend getting thisgs right with use of the fist. But should I now not have to abide by the scriptures of the humans?‖ Mahaavirji was engrossed in such thoughts, when a young man entered the hut. In one hand he had ripe fruit and in th other he had a honeycomb. Seeing Hanumaanji, he said: ―Welcome great one! As a forest dweller I offer my hospitality to you. Would you kindly introduce yourself?‖ ―O warrior!‖ Hanumaanji said, ―People call me Raam‘s servant Hanumaan.‖ ―Welcome Mahaavirji! Leaving Ayodhyaa you have priviledged me by sanctifying my hut, wearing my clothes. And looking at the destruction of my Vinaa, I was slightly angered, but it was well that as a householder I did not express any words. To be reactive too quickly is a sign of stupidity. Pray tell me how can I offer my hospitality to you?‖ ―Mahaabali!‖, said the youth after stopping a moment, ―Consider this as my forest dwelling. Here apart from honeycombs and fruits, there is not much else. Feel free to eat what pleases you. You like my clothes and crown. If you feel so, you may take them. If you come to my kingdom, I can gift you a lot of thisngs. Here you have to make believe with auspiciousnes in jungle.‖ Hanumaanji said: ―Brother, I am very pleased with your politeness. Your clothes and the crown I attired only for curiosity. I get uncomfortable, unpeaceful feeling with them. For me this impenetrable loin cloth is enough. But pray tell me who you are. And why you are living auspicious life in this jungle.‖ ―Wind-son‖, the youth said, ―Due to mental commotion, I live here to gain peace. I am in fact King Chancharik of Toomb country. I have a beautiful wife. But I cannot consider her faithful wife. Because as when I start to talk sweetly to any other woman, she takes vow to stop talking to me. For such trivial issue, why does she this? I am not able to understand it. For that reason as punishment I live here.‖ ―Mahaavir, woman is root of suffering, it is my personal experience.. Here in this jungle resides an old mendicant Lomash-muni. I have heard he has perfected the art of subduing woman kind. I wish to gain that knowledge from him.‖ 42 | P a g e

Just as the chat was proceeding thus, there was a knock on the door. Chancharik stood up and opened the door to observe a mendicant of emaciated body, who said to Chancharik: ―Brother, I live short distance from here in my aasharam. I am very hungary, if you could give me any food. I will then relate all to you.‖ Chancharik gave that unknown old mendicant some fruit. Mahaavir and Chacahrik also had some fruit. Finishing eating, Chancharik appealed: ―Muniraaj, Pray tell, why you look so feeble?‖ ―Brother‖, old mendicant said, ―Listening to my tale, you will get to learn something. I am known by the name of ―Lomash-muni‖. Previously some hundred kings came to me to perform a sacrificial yagna. For performing the yagna, the pleased kings each gave me a daughter, each with own abode and amenities of clothes.‖ Chancharik interrupted: ―O Mahaamuni, I was just talking about you. You have the art of subduing a hundred women, that art I….‖ ―….You listen brother‖, Muniraaj said, ―The art of controlling women does not exist in the three worlds. If wind can be controlled, then women‘s heart can be controlled. Still leave that, let me get to the original subject.‖ ―I neamed the women Gangaa, Godaavari, Saraswati – such great names. But as soon these women entered my aboce, they called each other monkey, shankhani, cat, bitch. The environment in my home turned to that of an angry abode. It became difficult to live in the house. My knowledge, meditation, and respect – none took care of it. In resolving their fights, my life is passing away like flow of water. I belong neither to the jungle nor the road. I feel tjo get some peace I should go and stay in some distant solitary mountain and contemplate on the Lord. Else to stay in Ayodhyaa serving the feet of Lord Sri Raam. Without serving and contemplation there is no real peace. For that reason I am so feeble.‖ Hearing the words of Lomash-muni, Mahaavirji was dumb struck and said: ―Mahaamuni, my salutations to you. Brother Chancharik, may your wishes be fulfilled, I must immediately depart to see my old friend Sugriv. I have come so far, so I must go and meet him.‖ Saying thus hanumaanji departed wind haste. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In a beautiful garden of Kishkindhaa, the monkey king Sugriv was enjoying the environment of the dawn, when Hanumaanji arrived and offered his salutations. Sugriv saluted and said: ―Mahaavirji, welcome, pray are you well?‖ Mahaavirji related all facts. Also his meeting with Chancharik and Lomash-muni. How can the confusion be cleared? He requested his help. 43 | P a g e
