Seetha called the witneses cow,Agni, Thazampoo and Palghu river .Fearing Srerama’s curse they said they knownothing. Sreerama as such again started to performSraadha. Dasaratha came up and told Sreerama already he is fed in time and do not compel a 2nd time . For not keeping up the words Seetha cursedthe witnesses as follows:- Lekshmi will go the back from the front ofcow2) Agni will have to eat every thing clean and unclean. Thazampoo will notbe used for Sivapooja which hether to she used to worship Siva. Phalgu riverhas gone Antharvahini. Mynote- A question may arise whether Sreerama did not know that he shouldcome with in thithi period to perform srardha. I have noanswer Q29 What is the importance of thithi in performing the Sraadha? What isthe importance of arranging things in time? What is the importance of allmembers joining together and performing Sraadah? A29 The entire question and answer above givethe importance of thithi. Pithruwill be hungry and should be fed with in thithi. Early or late isnot good. All things for thithi should be arranged well in advance.
