Suteekshna His Disciple / Glory

http://www.valmikiramayan.net/aranya/sarga7/aranya_7_prose.htm

Dushpanya was a prince of Pataliputra. He was cruel and used to kills children for no reason (sadistic?). The king tried his level best to stop but was unsuccessful. He expelled the prince from the kingdom. Even after he went to forest, the prince did not mend his ways and killed the child of sage Ugrasravas by drowning the child in a river. Ugrasravas came to know of that and cursed Dushpanya to meet his own end by drowning. Dushpanya lost his life and became a Pretha (ghost?). Suffering terribly from his own misdeeds and finding no relief, Dushpanya finally went to Agastya and prayed to him for help. The sage took pity on the Pretha of Dushpanya and got the sacred waters from Agni Teertha from the Gandha Madana hills. He asked one of his disciples Suteekshna to sprinkle the holy water on the pretha. Relieved of the pretha body, Dushpanya went to heaven.

Sri Rama Kavacham

Sri Rama Kavacham

By
Sage Sutheeshna

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

1.Aajanu bahum aravindalayathaksham,
Aajanma  shuddha  rasa  hasa mukha prasadam,
Shyamam  graheeths sara chapa  mudhara roopam,
Ramam  sa ramamabhiramamanusmarami.

I think about Rama  who is  every second pretty,
Who has hands reaching  up to his thighs , who has lotus like eyes,
Who is pure all his life, who has a smiling face ,
Who is black , who holds bow and arrow  and has a generous form.

Asya Sri Rama Kavachasya  Agasthya rishi , anushtup Chanda , Sita lakshmnaopetha  Sri Ramachandra devathaa, Sri Ramachandra prasada sidhyarthe  jape viniyoga.

For the armour of Sri Rama, the sage is Agasthya, the meter is Anushtup , The god addressed  is Rama with his brother Lakshmana and Sita  and the chanting is done to get the grace of Sri Ramachandra.
