On learning the details of Lanka from Sri Hanuma, Sri Rama spoke as follows:
अस्मिन् मुहूर्ते सुग्रीव प्रयाणम् अभिरोचये |
युक्तो मुहूर्तो विजयः प्राप्तो मध्यम् दिवा करः || (Yuddha Kanda 4 Sarga 3 Sloka)
अस्मिन् मुहूर्ते सुग्रीव प्रयाणम् अभिरोचये |
युक्तो मुहूर्तो विजयः प्राप्तो मध्यम् दिवा करः || (Yuddha Kanda 4 Sarga 3 Sloka)
"I shall destroy Lanka. Be pleased to approve our march at this
moment, a suitable moment for success. The sun reached the mid-day.”
उत्तरा फल्गुनी हि अद्य श्वस् तु हस्तेन योक्ष्यते ||
अभिप्रयाम सुग्रीव सर्व अनीक समावृताः | (Yuddha Kanda 4 Sarga 5 Sloka)
उत्तरा फल्गुनी हि अद्य श्वस् तु हस्तेन योक्ष्यते ||
अभिप्रयाम सुग्रीव सर्व अनीक समावृताः | (Yuddha Kanda 4 Sarga 5 Sloka)
“Oh, Sugreeva! By seeing the omens
which are becoming visible, I deduce that I shall bring back Seetha, by killing
Ravana. My right eye, which is twitching on the upper lid, is proclaiming as it were, my desire of
victory coming nearer."
Then Sri Rama explains his marching
plan. He explained who to lead the
Vanara army, who to guard from rear side, who to make clear the way enroute to
ocean, who to make arrangements for food, etc. Then he said that Lakshmana and
himself will mount Angada and Sri Hanuma respectively during the march.
Hearing the words of Sri Rama, Sugreeva
gave orders to the Vanara-s accordingly.
Then, all those troops of Vanara-s rose
up and quickly bounced from caves and mountain-tops. Thereafter Sri Rama moved
towards southern direction, along with the army.
All those Vanara-s maintained by
Sugreeva were rejoicing with delight and shouting war cries.
Sri Rama born on the day when the
star PURNARVASU was reigning. According
to Astrology, Uttara Phalguni star is SADHANA TAARA (favourable for
accomplishment) to Punarvasu star.
I think, as per the above depiction,
people in Ramayana period used to depend on TAARA BALAM only but not on the
other parts of PANCHAANGA,i.e., Thidhi, Vaara, Nakshatra,Yoga and Karana.
No where in Ramayana VAARA (week, viz., Sunday, Monday,etc., was
mentioned. VAARA might have come into
existence after the arrival of Westerners, along with their Gregorian Calender,
into India.
Dependence
on PANCHAANGA might be a latter development.
