Breaking a curse
There was an incident in the palace. The king married a queen but after a few days the king found out she was a bharma rakshasi. Sree Yadava prakasha along with his disciples arrived at the palace. Sree Yadava prakasha started to recite the vedas when the bharma rakshasi interrupted. She said, oh poor brahmin you think I don’t know all these vedas you are reciting. I thought that you dint know all these vedas that you are reciting. Well for that you need to know my earlier birth but you don’t even know your earlier birth then how will you know mine? Ok then tell me my earlier birth said the acharya.
The bharma rakshasi said, you were a lizard and were living near an anthill. Few Vaishnavas happened to stay there for a day. They took a bath, had their meal and left. They had spilled some holy water and threw the leftovers next to you. You ate the leftovers and drank the holy water thus you attained this noble form. After listening to all this Sree Yadava prakasha said ok leave my earlier birth and tell me your earlier birth.
The bharma rakshasi said I was a noble bharmin . I was performing yagnya there were lipids around me thus I was cursed to become a bharma rakshasi. Is there no way for this curse to brake? There is said the bharma rakshasi. Do you see that bharmin behind you as bright as the sun, Ramanuja charya? If he places his lotus feet on me and commands me to leave I shall be free from the curse. What shall signal you departure asked Sree Yadava prakasha?
Do you see that branch on the tree? That’s my dwelling. When I am released from the curse that branch shall break. Then Ramanuja charya came and placed his foot on the bharma rakshasi. The curse was broken, the branch fell down and the bharma rakshasi got up as a queen and shone like Rohini liberated from an eclipse. The royal couple bowed to Ramanuja charya.
This proves that Ramanujacharya was great enough that they can even break a curse and he was also a Thrikal Dharshi.
