| Oct 14, 2015 at 15:46 | comment | added | Srimannarayana K V | @Surya: I do not want argue further on this issue, because we both are sticking to our stands. I offered my opinion on this issue. It is upto you to decide whether to accept or reject it. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 15:42 | comment | added | Surya | The Brahmana boy too died because of the negative way in which he was performing tapas, and as soon as Shambuka was liberated, the boy was restored to life. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | Surya | Rama killed Shambuka because he was violating Dharma. Shambuka was performing penance to reach heaven and Indrapadavi in his own body, which is forbidden for all, except maybe certain people like Yudhishthira (who, if I am right, gave up his body after visiting the Illusionary Naraka). And even though he was not qualified to do so, he persisted in his adharmic act, which led to Rama ending his life, (which, because Rama was an avatara, was just as beneficial for Shambuka.) | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 4:04 | comment | added | Srimannarayana K V | @Surya: If you are accepting the inserted story as original, then you are accepting that Sri Rama was not Dharmaatma;; (2) If you are accepting Uttar Kanda as original, then you have to accept that Sri Rama's rule was a Caste based because he killed Sambuka for no reason. Then why did he praised Sabari for her austerities. A BIG NO. As far as I am concerned, The Uttara Kanda is A prakshipta | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | Surya | If not for anything else, not considering the originality of Uttara Kanda, we can at least learn some lessons from the story. | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 16:44 | comment | added | Surya | I agree that Uttara Kanda is considered to be Prakshipta, but somehow that seems like an escapist answer... No offence. But surely there must be a logical answer for the questions posed above. | |
