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..

ReplyDeleteshanthalai is Rama's sister. They says. She was adopted by Anga Raja and was married to Rishyasrunger. There is a temple in Srungeri for Rishyasrunger and Shanthalai!
ReplyDeleteGeetha Sambasivam Very nice!Jai Shree Ram!
ReplyDeleteAdopted by anga raaja..so how rama related ?? Is Anga raja brother of Dhasaratha ?
ReplyDeleteI think sringeri name also from Rishya shrunka. Rishya Shrunga performed the puthra kameshti yaga for Dasaratha.
ReplyDeleteYes Chandraasekar, that was the first peetam founded by aadi shankarachara named after rishya sringara.
ReplyDeleteNagu pilla Anga Raja and Dasaratha are close friends. So he asked for Dasaratha's daughter and Dasaratha gave his daughter to Anga Raja. Rishya Srunger was in Srungagiri Mountain Range, now where Shrungeri Peetam is existiing.
ReplyDeleteWhen was she born? She was married to rushyasringa before putrakameshti itself?
ReplyDeleteshe was born before Rama and adopted by Anga Raja and was married to RishyaSrungar before PuthraKameshti . Anga Raja suggested Dasaratha to perform Puthrakameshti and sent Rishyasrungar also.
ReplyDeleteMy gut feeling is that putrakameshti is for getting a child and not a male child. Wrt to this story, can you point to reference?
