Ramayana-10 (Trisanku-contd....) Viswamitra was frustrated by the failure in his attempt to send Trisanku to heaven with his body.. Wild with rage ,Viswamitra held the ladle of ghee over the flames and said: O Trisanku,here behold my power.I now transfer for your benefit all the merit I have earned. If my austerities have any value,they should lift you to heaven in your physical frame.I care out if the Devas reject my offerings..O kng Trisanku ! Ascend! A miracle followed.To the astonishment of those assembled,Trisanku in his chandaala body rose heaven ward and Trisanku reached swarga. But Indra forthwith pushed him down saying,who are you,entering heaven with a chandaala body. You fool that earned the curse of your preceptor,go down again.. Trisanku fell from heaven,head down wards ,screaming,O viswamitra ! save me!. Viswamitra ,seeing this ,was beside himself with rage. determind to teach the gods a lesson,he shouted to Trisanku.., stop there,! Stop there and to the amazement of all , Trisankus earthward descent came to an abrupt stop and he stopped in mid air,shining like a star.like a second Brahma,Viswamitra proceeded to create a new starry horizon in the south as well as a new Indra and new devas.
