Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
 
We are continuing the discussion - "is seethaa not capable of 
eliminating raavaNa on her own?" Now let us consider some slokams in 
baala kaaNdam ? raama and lakshmaNa are going along with sage 
visvaamithra to fulfill the orders of the sage, for which reason the 
sage wanted these two from king dhasaratha.

raamaa ithi madhuraam vaaNeem visvaamithra: abhyabhaashatha |
 
10b, 11a. adhi artha yOjanam gathvaa = on going one and half yojana
sarayvaa dhaskhiNe thatE = Sarayu river's southern bank 
visvaamithra = sage visvaamithra
raama ithi madhuraam vaaNeem = 'oh, Raama' thus in harmonious voice 
abhya bhaashatha = spoke.
 
Meaning: On going one and half yOjana distance, visvaamithra 
addressed Raama in a harmonious voice calling, 'oh, Raama', on the 
southern riverbank of Sarayu.

thvam thathaa = you like that 
manthra graamam = hymns group of 
balaam athibalaam = bala, athibala hymns 
gruhaaNa = receive 
kaalasya paryaya: maa bhooth = time's lapse  not let there be.
 
Meaning: Take water, my boy, and like that you receive a group of 
hymns, bala and athi bala from me, and let no time lapse. 
 
Note: Since the Vedic hymns cannot be taught after sunset, the sage 
says, `now it shall be evening time before sunset, when oblations 
will be offered at sunset, and hence no time lapse can be envisaged'.

disfiguring of personality can effect you, nor the demons can charge

worlds.
