Prof. Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri's Thai Ramayana 07; skips the sojurn of Rama and Lakshmana with sage Vishwamitra

Thai Ramayana quickly moves on to the swayamvara of Sita and her wedding to Rama. While Sita grows up in a jar (probably! The story does not really say so!) Rama has a normal human life. The four brothers bond well to the delight of Dasharatha. When Rama is sixteen, sage Vishwamitra arrives at the court of Dasharatha. He is received with due respect by the king.

 I quote from a translation of Valmiki Ramayana:
That highly righteous sage Vishvamitra asked the king after the well-being of city, exchequer, rural areas, friends and relatives.  "Are all of the provincial kings acquiescent to you, and all your enemies conquered? Are you properly performing the devotional and social works?"  

Dasharatha is very happy to receive the sage, tells him '"I deem your arrival is in the vein of mortals attaining ambrosia, rainfall in a droughty land, a barren father begetting a son through his deserving wife, a regain of long lost treasures, and the gladness at a great happening, oh, great saint, welcome to you."

"Oh, Brahman, as I am the one who is delighted for your arrival, and as you are the most eligible recipient from me, what is that choicest object of yours to be fulfilled by me, and in which way. ..."

Sage Vishvamitra asks King Dasharatha to send Rama to protect the Vedic ritual that is being conducted by him, from the demons that are constantly disrupting it. The sage asserts King Dasharatha that he and the other sages in Dasharatha's court know the capabilities of Rama and though Rama is in his adolescence, he can easily kill the demons. But Dasharatha is upset at this request.

On hearing the propitious words of sage Vishvamitra that best king Dasharatha shuddered and swooned as he is muffled up with profound adversity, and after that on regaining consciousness he sunk down in fear. On enquiring details about those dangerous demons that are ravaging sage's ritual, King Dasharatha refuses to send young Rama along with Sage Vishvamitra on many an account, and thus confronts the Sage's wrath.

Thus, by the incongruous talk of Dasharatha, the outstanding Brahman and son of Sage Kushi, namely sage Vishvamitra is overwhelmed with outrageous anger by his mentation, and that fire-like glorious sage looked like the ritual fire into which many inflammable oblations are offered, and which is drenched with a lot of clarified butter, whereby it is flaring up its tongues.

The ire of sage Vishvamitra is shown at king Dasharatha. To pacify sage Vishvamitra, sage Vashishta intervenes and convinces king Dasharatha to send Rama with sage Vishvamitra. While doing so, sage Vashishta enumerates the capabilities of sage Vishvamitra, his knowledge of weaponry. Vashishta also suggests that all those weapons will be given to Rama, if Rama is dispatched with Vishvamitra. At last, Dasharatha agrees to send Rama.

I needed to get as close as possible to the original. I found this site on the internet, http://www.valmikiramayan.net/. I am obliged to the authors for making it available on the net. I will keep looking for some special insights from their work.
