Does Rama had a sister ?? I recently came across a discourse where it was told that Rama had a sister Shaanta and her husband was risha sringara . I never read it that in valmiki Ramayana. Does any other scriptures talk about it ? Of course you may ask how it matters now.. But just curious..

Can anyone explain the inner meaning of "aadi anantha sesha " ?? If I break it w.r.t words it would mean aadi ->starting/beginning, Anantha-> infinite Sesha-> reminder / remaining / denominator Can anyone help me understand why the serpent on which vishnu sleeps is called aadi anantha sesha ??
