DUSHGREEV reached his 'KUTIA'.He saw his father meditating outside the 'KUTIA'.He went inside the KUTIA without disturbing his father. On reaching inside, he came to know that there was no one in the 'KUTIA'.Then a voice came from behind him

"DUSHGREEV",He looked back.It was Rishi VISHRAVA.

" Baba, Where did everyone go?"

"Your mother has gone to the forest with your brothers and sisters to collect woods".Rishi VISHRAVA said

" ohhh".

"So,Which lesson did Rishi Shukracharya teach you today?"

"Lesson of forbearance baba".

"Good".

"Baba, the story you were telling me was not completed."

"I knew you'd ask me this, let's sit outside and end the story".They both sit outside the KUTIA. Then Rishi VISHRAVA said"So where was I".

"You were in the court baba".

" Oh yes so, I heard some people whispering that"Today the princess is also going to come in the court, I waited for the king to come then Suddenly there was an announcement that the king. and the princess were coming to the court.A cruel looking man wearing a gold crown came to the court, followed by a beautiful princess and the maidens He was the king, Because on seeing him all the ministers stood up. He sat on his golden throne and the princess sat on the throne next to him.Then he allowed others to sit, Then he said "start today's proceedings".

A small stature minister sitting at the front got up from his chair and said "with respect your grace, We don't need more men in our army because we are all safe" .

"That's a good thing".

"I laughed out loud when I heard this".everyone looked at me in surprise.

Then the king said "You sage come forward".

"Why you laugh? ".

"Cause you're a foolish king".

"How dare you call me a fool, maybe you don't know who I am".king said angrily

"I did not say anything wrong, the king who thinks that his kingdom is safe from all sides, if he is not a fool, then what is?"

"What do you want to say?"A minister asked me.

"The future of lanka".I said with a smile

"What, how? "

"Bring me a big bowl full of water".I said

The king signalled his soldiers. Then after some time a big bowl filled with water was kept in the middle of the court.All the people present in the court were watching me carefully.

"All look at this bowl carefully"I said

"What did you do then baba? " DUSHGREEV asked

"Listen,I used my power to see and show the future, I cast a vision of Lanka's future into that big bowl,In which it was seen that Lanka is burning badly.Seeing this, all the people present in the court were frightened.The king also got up from his throne and came to the bowl and asked me

"It's a BHAVISHYAVANI right"he said "who is going to do this?" he continued.

"The answer to your question lies in that bowl just see it carefully. "A very powerful VANAR whose tail was on fire was burning the whole of Lanka with the same fire.

" How it's possible?"king said

"You can stop your ruin now if you want.That mighty VANAR is still a child, if you bring him here, the crisis may be over."

'Where do we get him? "

"There is a beautiful forest at some distance from there you will get that VANAR".

"Acharya who are you? "

"Direct does not require proof Maharaj, I am Rishi VISHRAVA son of Rishi Pulastya".

"He is the greatest Rishi, father, he has many magical powers." princess said

" Thanks princess".I said to your mother

"I also want to ask you that will that VANAR have any name?" The king asked

"Yes, Afcourse his name is HANUMAN".
