While Rama was born in Ayodhya, Ravana in Lanka was feeling uneasy. This throne was vibrating. Suddenly the throne started jumping. His crown fell down from his head.
He was shocked. How could this happen? He asked for Indrajit to come to him. He wanted Indrajit to go and kill Vasuki, who was holding up the earth and thus causing his crown to fall off.
Vibhishana said, listen king, somewhere the one who will slay you is born,. That is the reason for this. Do not show undue anger on the earth or Vasuki. Somewhere, Narayana is born.
A voice in the skies said Dashratha was the king, in whose palace Vishnu had been born. He sent for Shuka and Sarana, his spies. He asked them to go around and find out where his enemy had been born. Once he had that information, he would kill the child.
Bowing to their king, the spies left. The two were devotees of Vishnu and wanted to see the avatar of Vishnu. Crossing the ocean, they went to Ayodhya.
Ayodhya was decorated. Everywhere lamps were lit. The city was glowing.
In her room , Kaushalya was sitting with her son in her lap. The lord was visible to all in whatever form they wanted to see him. Ravana's spies saw the four handed form of Vishnu.
Thet bowed down before the lord and asked for his blessings. They left for Lanka, deciding to tell Ravana that they had had not seen any such person.
They went to Ravana and told him that they had traveled all over but had not been able to see any sign of his enemy.
They asked him to go on a pilgrimage. That would help him take his mind off the crown falling.
Calling Vibhishana, he asked him to verify his information before speaking.
He asked for the Ocean to come to him him. When the might Ocean came, he asked him to get him waters from all the pilgrim places on this planet.
The waters arrived, Ravana had a bath in those and felt good.
