1. Introduction 

Vaisali was the daughter of a maid MALINI BY KING LOMAPADAof Angarajyam. 

 

She was instrumental in luring and bringing SageRISHYASRINGA son of sage 
VIBHANDAKA to Angarajyam, to bring rain after adraught of 12 years by the yagya 
by him. 

In gratitude, king Lomapada married his adopted daughter SANTHA to 
sageRishyasringa. Santha was born to king DASARATHA AND KOUSALAYA. 

2.  Dasaratha begets a daughter. 

At that time king DASARATHA had only one queen KOUSALYA.Kousalya gave birth to 
a female child. She was limping. Dasaratha was unhappy. 

MY note- Thisincident should be about 20  years backto the Puthra Kama Ishti 
yaga by king Dasaratha, performed by sageRishyasringa. 

3. Dasaratha giveshis daughter to king Lomapada in adoption 

Kulaguru sage VASISTHA advised if the child is given inadoption to a king, her 
limping would disappear. At that time king Lomapada ofAngaragyam was desiring 
to adopt a child. His capital was Chambapuri (Angarajyam). 

In obedience to kulaguru Vasistha, Dasaratha gave hisdaughter in adoption to 
his friend KING LOMAPADA. 

What a wonder! Her limping disappeared. She was namedSANTHA. 

3a. Dasaratha marrytwo more princes 

Kousalya did not deliver any more children for years. SoDasaratha married two 
more princes in due course- KAIKEYI AND SUMITHRA. Theybecame the 2nd and 3rd 
queens. 

My note- Now we canunderstand that Kaikeyi was very young. 

4. Draught inAngarajyam 

About this time draught appeared in Angarajyam due to thecurse of a Brahmin on 
the king, as the king did not listened to him on someissue. No rain at all. It 
continued for 12 years.  How to bring the rain was the problem of kingLomapada. 
 

His Rajaguru was away with his son, since his son startedloving VAISALI, 
daughter of Malini, which he desired to bar. Somehow Lomapadapleaded and got 
him to Chambapuri to conduct a yagya and please INDRA AND GETRAIN. Indra was 
the lord ofrain. 

4a. Malini andVaisali with groups proceed to deep forest 

Rajaguru get a mystic vision on the night he arrived inChambapuri. He should 
get sage RISHYA SRINGA (having two hornsin the head) from forests and yagya has 
to be performed by him only. Rishyasringa was son ofsage VIBHANDAKA. He brought 
up his son with least knowledge of women in deepforest. 

Rajaguru, specifically desired and pointed Vaisali for themission. Vaisali 
proceeded with her mother Malini and group of people to forestthrough river. 
Vaisali and Malini alone proceeded in deep forest. 

5. Rishyasringa getlured by Vaisali 

For the teenager, not having the smell of women, Vaisali was a wonder.He got 
lured by her. Vibhandaka smelled the danger after a day. But he couldnot change 
his son much. 

At one moment, Rishayasringa felt he was getting attractedby a MAYAVI, and 
wanted to restart his penance, he was about to curse Vaisali,and Malini 
appeared in the scene.  

Malini appraised themission and begged not to curse her daughter. She knew sage 
Rishyasringa has the power to bringrain, Rishyasringa proceeded with them to 
Champapuri happily. 

At Champapuri, as the people proceeded receivingRishyasringa, Malini and her 
daughter Vaisali were leftbehind. No body to care. No sentences are sufficient 
to describe thescene. All people pushing her back. Really the scenes of the 
film come beforeme. It was actress Geetha played the role of Malini in the film 
Vaisali. 

6. Rain, rain, rain 

As Rishyasringa started performing yagya at Champapuri,clouds appeared, and 
when he completed it was RAIN, RAIN RAIN. Everybody enjoying thehuge rainfall 
and water after 12 years. 

7. Reward toRishyasringa. 

Kulaguru appraised king Lomapada to give a suitable rewardto the sage, marrying 
his daughter SANTHA TO RISHYASRINGA. 

Even king Lomapada would have happily married Vaisali tothe sage, but for the 
compulsion of Kulaguru, Santha is onlyadopted daughter, and the offspring will 
rule the kingdom as his successor.Kulaguru was specific Vaisali should not get 
married to the sage…  It was Netumuti Venu acted as Kula guru 

8. Vaisali rushes toMalini 

Vaisali too got neglected now. She realized thesituation.  She rushed to her 
motherstruggling in rainwater. In the happiness, nobody cared the leftout 
Malini and Vaisali. For the people now they were nothing tocare…. 

9. King Yudhishthiralistens to sage Vedavyasa. 

The above legend about Santha, Dasaratha, Lomapada, andRishyasringa, and of 
course MALINI AND VAISALI was told by sage Vedavyasa to KINGYUDHISTHIRA.
