But he could not resist himself from meeting them. When his father came to about this he was furious and warned him not to meet them. When Rishyasringa saw them he was thrilled to meet them. King Romapada send his best courtesans to bring sage Rishyasringa to his kingdom. If he agrees to perform a yagna it would definitely rain. He has never seen any other human except his father. His father sage Vibhandaka brought him in a forest near Anga.
Rompada wondered how? They said that he keeps on meditating all the time because he never had any distraction. Few people came up with the idea that sage Rishyasringa, son of sage Vibhandaka, is the only person who can resolve the problem. Lord Indra was very sad to see such insult of his devotee so he gave very little rainfall, due to which there was drought in the kingdom.Įverybody in the kingdom was worried about how to solve the problem. One day Romapada was busy talking to his daughter Shanta, a brahmin came to ask for help in cultivation. King Romapada loved her so much that when she grew she forgot about Kausalya and Dasharatha, now she only knew that Romapada was his father and kingdom of Anga was her home. Little girl Shanta was very close to Rompada was not able to understand adoption, but was very happy to go and stay with king Romapada. Lord Rama, Shanta and Sita Her childhood is spent at Rompada’s kingdom Though Kaushalya was not very happy with the idea of adoption but she felt pity and decided to give her only child in adoption to the king Romapada. But, the very next moment she realised that Rompada knew that Dasharatha has 3 wives and he can have many more children. Kaushalya was surprised to see how could he ask them to give their only daughter in adoption. Once he came to meet Dasharatha and expressed his desire to adopt his only daughter Shanta. Rompada, who was a close friend of Dasharatha was childless. But in Mahabharata, there is a reference that Rompada, King of Anga, who was a close friend of Dasharatha has adopted his daughter.
Though Valmiki Ramayan does not mention about Rama’s elder sister. Shanta who was daughter of King Dasharatha and Kausalya. Few people know that Lord Rama also had a sister, whose name was Shanta.
