Chandramaa
There are two Chandramaa - One is
Rishi and and another is Devtaa, Moon. Muni Chandramaa is mentioned in
Tulasee's Maanas twice.
In the Context of Sampaati
The first time his name is mentioned by Sampaati when he tells his story in
Kishkindhaa Kaand of Maanas. Sampaati and Jataayu, the two brothers, once flew upward
towards Sun. Jataayu came back because of his wings got started burning, but he
continued to fly. After a while Sampaati's wings burnt and he fell down. After
he fell down and was without wings, he wanted to die that he met a Muni named
Chandramaa. He gave him Gyaan and asked him not to be proud of his physical
body. He further told him that Bhagavaan would come on Earth in human form in
Tretaa Yug. Raakshas will kidnap His wife and Prabhu will send His people to
look for her. So you wait for them. When you will meet them then you will get
relief. So when Sampaati met and helped Vaanar group, he found his wings
re-growing.
In the Context of Kaagbhushundi
Second time he is mentioned in Uttar Kaand by Kaagbhushundi Jee when he tells
Garud Jee about his previous
births.
