Synopsis
‘ How could Sage Vasishtha attribute such an action to him? Heost control of his senses and, in turn, took water in his palm. Madayanti, who was watching in horror, approached him in one swift movement and held his hand. When Mitrasaha turned his face towards her, she shook her head. ‘ No, myord! What is it you are doing? Sage Vasishtha is our kulaguru.’ Mitrasaha felt ashamed and sprinkled the water on his own feet. At once, his feet became spotted with black marks, and having changed into a demon, heeft the palace.’ How did Gotama win the hand of Ahalya? What is the relation of Kasyapa and Kashmir? How did Vitahavya, born a kshatriya, become a brahmin? Why did Parashurama become a warrior and Visvamitra a sage? How were the two related? Saptarshis answers all these questions. This racy narrative recounts the extraordinaryives of the seven sages— Vasishtha, Kasyapa, Atri, Visvamitra, Gotama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja— known as Saptarshis. These sages may haveived eons ago but theirives were no different from ours.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Sage Visvamitra ordered Rama to kill Tataka. 'Please accept my apologies, I do not fight or kill women,' Rama said humbly. 'Rama, as a Kshatriya, it is your bounden duty to protect the innocent and slay the wicked. You are a prince and the future king of Ayodhya; you are responsible for the welfare of your subjects. As your elder and guru, I am ordering you to kill Tataka and rid this forest of her.' Without another word, Rama strung his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced Tataka's heart and she fell down. Many must have heard of Saptarshis in passing when talking about Ursa Major. They are not just the seven stars of the kite-shaped constellation, but also refer to the seven sages in Hindu astronomy. This book, Saptarshis, offers a glimpse into how the seven sagesVasistha, Kasyapa, Atri, Visvamitra, Gotama, Jamadagni and Bharadvajacame to be extolled in the Vedas. The contribution of each of the seven sages have now been ingrained in Vedic literature, having a ripple effect on Hindu mythology such that it was passed on from one generation to the next, making way from the knowledge seekers of yore to the readers of modern times.
