Mandodari
As we all know Mandodari’s husband was Cruel
Ravana. Even thought she was not abducted by anyone, she was respecting her
husband. Whenever she found him making mistakes she would try to correct him.
Whatever may be the circumstance, she didn’t lose her respect towards her
husband. In any instance she did not lose her character or pathi vrata.
Tara
Being wife of Brahaspathi achar, she was
a chaste (pathi vrata) and very beautiful woman. Chandra ( Son of Atri rishi)
forcibly kidnapped Tara, and gave birth to budha ( mercury).
By
performing rajasuya yaga, through Brahma he got yauvana (youth),
sampathu(wealth), adhikara (authority).Once a person has everything he gets an
ego.
While he was once roaming near riverbed
of ganga, he saw Tara. Chandra expressed his wish to be with Tara. He prostrated
to Tara for fulfilling his wish. But Tara advised him not to have wish for
others wife, if you do so, all your boons(punya) will vanish. Then you will
become asUcchi(impure), you will get dosha. In spite all these advise he didn’t
heed to her advise, instead he forced her to nandavana in his chariot.
Everybody started to know about the abduction of Tara, including Brahaspathi
achar. He got very upset.
So the all devathas, everybody came to
console their guru Brahaspati achar. And they wanted to revenge on Chandra. Chandra
on the other hand went to gain the help of daityas (asura’s ). Shukracharya who
was guru of asura’s advised him, “do not to prolong the fight. You are grandson
of Brahma(as Atri was son of Brahma). Brahaspati achar’s wife is similar to
your mother. Brahaspati achar is a great brahmana. Abducting such a pati vrata
is not good for you. Already you have done a papa of hundred brahma hatya
dosha, by abducting her, don’t prolong more than this. To get rid of your sin
better go and have a bathe in ganges. ”
So Sukracharya made him bathe in ganges
and gave prasadha of Vishnu. And makes him pure inside (prasadha) and outside
(ganga snana).
For
purusha’s (male) - He says whoever doesn’t do saligrama or Hari pooja let your
papa (of abducting Tara) go to them. Whoever have lust on others wife. Whoever
has sexual intercourse whenever, wherever possible (there is time and place for having
intercourse).
For
Sthri’s (female) – Let your papa go to the ladies who scold their husband, who
hurt their husband. Who do not follow
menstruation/ periods rules(rajasvala) of sitting separately, without entering
everywhere especially to kitchen and pooja room, and touching everything.
The
who eats food on the day of ekadashi, and has intercourse on the day of
ekadashi will definitely get chandra’s papa.
Thus, just in sitting on one place by not
following the dharma we get the papa of Chandra. Now Tara got conceived and
everybody had question whose baby was it? Brahaspati achar calls Tara alone and
asks whose offspring is it. Tara says the truth its Chandra’s son.
Since Tara did not agree to be with
Chandra, (she didn’t have any lust for Chandra) she only though of her husband
alone, she was a pure pathi vrta, and she was not guilty. So most beautiful
Buddha [mercury] (Tara and Chandra both are beautiful) was given to Chandra.
*Tara
of Vali’s wife cannot be thought here since before and after Vali’s death Tara
was with Sugriva.
On the crisp:
Mandodari
Inspite
of having a cruel Ravana as husband she also respected him.
Tara
She
was abducted by Chandra, still she was only thinking of her pathi every second.
She didn’t have any wish for anyone apart from her husband.
