What is it with Jabali's representation guys ? Many people consider it interpolation in valmiki ramayan right ?
Thoughts?
Translation from Wiki
I denounce the action mentioned below, of my father, who picked up you as his councilor-priest, a staunch unbeliever, who has not only stayed away from the path of dharma but whose mind is set on a wrong path opposed to the Vedic path, nay who is moving about in this world with such an ideology conforming to the doctrine of Chaarvaaka, who believes only in the world of senses as has been set forth in your foregoing speech.
It is a well-known fact that a follower of Buddha deserves to be punished precisely as a thief [because such a heretic robs people of their faith in a Vedically moral universe]; and know a nastika to be on a par with a Buddhist.
My doubt is how can Ram be talking of Budha when he is from Kaliyug and not treta yug .
Does jabali occur in tulsidas ji ramayan or any other version ?
I am hearing this for the first time actually
I have still not reached that part of story in my book neither I have heard about Buddhism in treta yug.
When I had visited Sarath temple in Varanasi a monk had told me buddha had taken many janams before enlighten World with knowledge, I assumed he meant all the previous incarnations but maybe there's more to it
