Arjun followed Krishna through the streets of Avadh, the beautiful city of Shri Ram, widely known as Ayodhya. Shri Ram Janmbhomi lived up to its name, the people looked happy, there seemed to be abundance of happiness everywhere. Dressed as Princes, Arjun and Krishna attracted some attention but no one seemed to bother the two with anything.
"Parth, there is a temple of Goddess Sita here," Krishna pointed at a huge ethereal structure. The outer walls were cream with specks of gold. The entrance had huge wooden doors, with the most exquisite carvings on it.
The devotees worshipping Maa Sita was a sight to view, their sweet words expressing their love, their eyes filled with devotion. Truly, a bhakt is what makes a building, a mandir. Arjun walked ahead and bowed his head, "Maa Sita, Vaidehi, Bhumijaa, AvaniTanaya, Kshiti Putri, Janki, Sunaina Suta, Maithili, RamaHridaya, Raghav Bharya, Lakshmi Swarupa, LavaKush Janani," Arjun chanted twelve names of JagatMata praying to her.
Krishna smiled at Arjun's devotion for Narayani, being a part Narayan, and ansh of Shiva, Nar were the brother of Lakshmi.
After the killing of Demon, Dambhodbhava, Narayan ascended back to Vaikunth, to attend his duties as the supreme Lord of Universe. But Rishi Nar stayed on Earth, to help people.
On one day, Narayan invited Rishi Nar to visit Vaikunth and meet VaikunthSwamini. And how in the three worlds would Rishi Nar deny his Narayan? He agreed immediately.
Rishi Nar was impressed with Vaikunth, the beauty was exceptional, "You must not have seen such beauty ever in your life Rishivar," Said one of the maids of Devi Lakshmi, she was proud of this place.
"I have seen a place even beautiful then Vaikunth," Rishi Nar calmly spoke, though he understood the way she wanted to taunt him, but he didn't have an ounce of anger.
The maiden laughed, "There is nothing more beautiful than Vaikunth," her face was laughing, as if on a joke, but inside, she was angry, how can there be a place more beautiful than Vaikunth?
Maintaining his calm, he said, "here," he took a small blade of grass, chanting the name of Shri Hari, he passed the leaf to her. Her eyes looked at him tauntingly, was this simple grass beautiful than Vaikunth?
She took the grass in her hand, to observe it closely. As nearer the grass got, the more clearly she could see. From farthest, she was devotees of Narayan singing his bhajan; Next second she saw devotees doing penance, just to get a glimpse of Shri Hari; When curiosity got her best, she pulled it even closer and then she saw Narayan's avatar- Matsya, Kurma, Varah, Narasimha, Vaman, Parshuram, Ram. Her eyes widened, she pulled it almost next her eye, when she saw a blurred vision of a Narayan, the roop looked like the whole universe was is in it, but she could not see it properly. She tried to take it more near to eyes, but that was the nearest possible resort.
