Once upon a time....
Ayodhya was capital of Kosala Kingdom. It is at the bank of river Sarayu. It was built by ruler of Surya dynasty, MANU .
King Dasaratha was a great
warrior, ruling Kosala from Ayodhya. He even helped gods win many wars. Dasarath was a great king helped by eight able ministers. Great sages like vasista,vamadeva and other Brahmanas taught the dharma and performed
rituals and sacirfices. Dasaratha had on regret that he had no son. Hence he consulted his Raja Guru Vasista and other eminent
brahmanas to advise him about this. On their suggestion Dasaratha
performed aswamedha Yaagya , also known as (horse sacrifice). Yaagya was conducted
sucessfully under the guidance of sages
While Dasaratha was performing Aswamedha yaagya, in heaven many of the Gods met Brahma and prayed to save them from misery and hardship caused by Ravana, a devotee of Siva. He had a boon from Brahma to the effect that he would not die in the hands of Devas,Asuras, Gandharvas, Yakshas.
Due to his arrogance, he neglected to
include human beings in his list. Ravana was cruel and ill-treated Gods including women. His deeds were untolerable. So All Devas approached Sri Hari and prayed to him to save them from the clutches of Ravana Hari pitied the Devas and promised that he would be born as son of Dasaratha along with three brothers as an outcome of a yagaa From the flames of the fire in yaagakundam a pious figure with a pot of sacred payasa appeared and gave it to Dasaratha.King Dasaratha received the pot with great pleasure and distributed payasa to his three wives Kousalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. He gave half of the quantity of payasa to Kousalya and half of the remaining to Sumitra. Then he divided the remaining payasa into two parts. One part was given to Kaikeyi and other to Sumitra again. Thus Putrakameshti yaga was successful. In course of time son's were born Rama of Kausalya, Bharata of kaikeyi, Lakshmna and Shatrugna of Sumitra
