So it was nearly 60,000 years that Raja Dashrath was childless. He had everything which anyone will desire for like a three good and beautiful wives, a good kingdom and all but still one thing was missing ant that was the happiness of being a father.
It's an truth that being a parent gives you another vibes. We all don't remember our childhood, do we? Hence seeing our child's childhood we also get a glimpse of ourself.
King Dashrath decides to consist Guru Vasisth for this problem. So he goes into his aashram where Maharishi Vasisth resides..
After the discussion both comes with the conclusion of doing Putrakameshti Yagna. But now another question rises in the mind of King Dashrath that who will do the Yagna. Maharishi Vasisth suggested him the name of Rishi Shringa as he was one of the expert of Yajurveda which consisted the guidelines of doing the Yagna.
After it, King Dashrath told his queens about the Yagna and there happiness knew no bound.
Everyone were excited for the huge day and the preparations and decorations were started in the kingdom of Ayodhya.
On the day of Putrakameshti Yagna, there was the arrival of Rishi Shringa which is considered to be auspicious for any region. It is even said that once due to his arrival, the rainfall had taken place in a kingdom which was facing drought since a long time.
After the welcoming session of Rishi Shringa by all the three queens and the King with Maharishi Vasisth, the yagna was started finally.
Rishi Shringa said, "Main aapake laabh keliye atharvaved kee prastaavana mein varnit anushthaan ko putra kameshti naamak vidhivat mantron ke saath sampann karoonga, arthaat vah anushthaan jo putra pradaan karata hai."
The king and his queens bowed him by joining the hands.
Ascetics chanting hymns created an atmosphere of anticipation for the king, Dasharatha, and queens.
On the fourth day of the yagna, a deity Agni emerged in a personified form, smiling upon the royal assembly and offering a bowl of holy payasam wrapped in banana leaves. He declared that consuming this herbal preparation would result in the queens' pregnancies, heralding the imminent arrival of children in the royal palace. After saying this he disappeared in the air of Ayodhya.
King Dashrath's happiness knew no bounds. Rishi Shringa instructed him and according to his instruction King Dashrath distributed the payasam among his queens. The dividation of Payasam was done according to the rules mentioned in the Atharva veda.
Queen Kaushalya received the half of the Payasam. Now half payasam was remained. So it was again divided among the Queen Kaikeyi and Queen Sumitra. It's said that Queen Sumitra drank the Payasam in two parts.
After few days, as per said by the deity, the three queens became pregnant.
The atmosphere of joy was spreaded in the whole kingdom of Ayodhya.

Sorry sorry for two things to all my readers. First is for making you wait for the chapter for such a long time and Second is for a huge mistake or kaand I have done 🥲
Actually iss chapter ke pehle ek aur chapter tha (Vaikunth wala jisme saare gods Narayan se request wagera karte hai). Toh woh maine likha he nahi. Sidha yeh likh diya. Aur ab aap sabse me jyada wait bhi nahi kara sakti. So can you all adjust with that? Next chapter wahi hoga I promise.
Btw maine confusion clear karne keliye pie chart banaya hai (Handwriting ignore maar dena).
