dasha sapta cha varSHANI tava jAtasya rAghava | AsItAni prakAnkSHantyA mayA duhkhaparikSHayam ||2-20-45|| dasha sapta can also mean sapta dasha (70) or dasha saptams, 10 times 7 (70) [like trissapta of puruSHasUktam, which means 3 times 7=21] Thus, it would be 70, perhaps kausalya's age. rAma, I have waited for seventy years with the hope that my grief will be redeemed after your birth. This is like telling I have waited for 90 years to see my son get nobel prize. dAsan K.S. tAtAchAr Yahoo!
