At that time, there was a great king,
Dashrath, who was sad that none of his three wives had had any children.
He prayed for sons. Answering his prayer, the Fire
god gave a small jar of nectar to the queens to drink, for the nectar
would give them sons. The oldest Queen bore Ram, the second Queen bore
Lakshman and a twin brother, and the third Queen, Kaykai, bore Bharat.
