Rama born

The moment the queens had the pudding, their bodies started glowing. The queens had passed their prime , and suddenly their grey hair turned black, skin tight and they were looking young girls, in their first youth.
The queens were pregnant and and as days went by, their pregnancy was visible to all.
When the time was due, Dashratha organized a grand ceremony to celebrate the baby shower.
Kaushalya saw Vishnu in her dream. In her dream, she took Vishnu and placed him in her lap like her child. Vishnu addressing her said - Mother, You have worshiped me earlier. Due to that, I am taking birth as your son. Please take care of me.

Kaushalya narrated to Dashratha about her dream. Dashratha thought about the blind sage and realized that his words would be coming true. He called his priests and brahmans and narrated about the dream to them, and gave them valuable gifts.

When nine months of pregnancy were over, all people gathered around the palace. Any time soon, Dashratha would a father. All were waiting anxiously. The Gods gathered in the skies to witness the birth of the Lord.

In the month of Chaitra, On the ninth days of the Shukla phase of the moon, Vishnu took birth.

Kaushalya had no pain while delivering the baby. The baby was glowing like a million suns. The whole room where he was born, was glowing. He was dark in hue. The women started ululating and the midwife carefully cut off the umbilical cord.

Kaushalya's maid told the king about the news. The king elated, gifted the maid with many valuable gifts.

The King started distributing gifts to one and all. Then he went towards Kaushalya's quarters to see his son. Carefully lifting his son, he started kissing the child.
