3 - Avatar of Shri Ram
Ram Appears in Dashratha's House

Ayodhya was a beautiful city on the river Saryu's bank,
King Dashratha was the ruler with his ministers in rank.
King Dashratha had three wives, Koshalya, and Sumitra, 
The youngest one was Kekayee with knowledge of Mantra.
It was splendid region, full of healthy men, lovely women,
The King had no children; he was in search of good omen.
The kind did approach his spiritual teacher to have progeny,
The teacher Vashistha said, "You will be blessed with many".
A holy sacrifice was arranged for the king, to have blessings,
Lord Fire came in person to offer the king divine blessings.
A gold pot full of milky rice was offered to Dasharatha king,
The blessed food was distributed to the queens in palace wing.
Within a year's time king Dasharatha's queens had four sons,
Ram the eldest, Bharat, Laxman, and Shatrughan were the sons.
City of Ayodhya was very jubilant; the king was real pleased,
Four Divine princes in the palaces, all sorrows were cleansed.
Several parties, feasts, dances and the donations were there,
Colored powders, flowers, fruits, water pots and lamps there.
The women were dancing nicely with their colored costumes,
One can receive the desired gifts from the king, what assumes.
The sunrays became cooler in the mist of flowers and powders,
All streets in Ayodhya were colored with perfume filled showers.
The queens praised by the king with jewels, diamonds and pearls,
People, groups greeted the king along with dancing boys and girls.
The king had prayers and the ceremony of 'Naming the Princes',
Kings, preachers, yogis came to the Ayodhya from provinces.
Mothers of the princes were ecstatic with celebrations and joy,
The birth of Lord Ram was a special occasion on the earth boy!
The beauty of Ram was beyond words, thoughts and a simile,
The king, queens were astonished to see four sons for a while.
Slow walking or running of Ram was pleasant and wondrous,
Ram babbles with mothers, asking 'to have the moon with us'. 
When it is time for dinner, Brothers will like to play out door,
The king brings the sons inside the palace; asks to close door.
Four brothers are sitting in dinning room, sharing the foods,
Ram wants to be the last to receive a favor or playful goods.
A majestic company, four brothers are playing with friends,
All are growing, sharing and learning, social and royal trends.
The ministers, caretakers and mothers are helping and guiding, 
Every body pleased with the four brothers, the time was sliding.
In the early life, the brothers were sent to the Vashistha's school,
Four divine brothers learning from the teacher, it was really cool.
After learning economics, politics, religion and military science,
The brothers returned home, the king thought this learning suffice.
