अंगद शिष्टाई
लंकेजवळ पोचल्यावर युद्ध सुरु करण्याआधी श्रीरामाने वाली व तारा यांचा तेजस्वी पुत्र अंगद याला वकील म्हणुन रावणाकडे पाठवले. लंकेत पोचल्यावर त्याने रावणाशी संवाद साधताना त्याने रामाचा निरोप सांगितला की सीतेला सन्मानाने परत पाठव अन्यथा युद्धास तोंड द्यावे लागेल. हे ऐकून रावण रागावला आणि त्याने अंगदाला पकडून तुरुंगात टाकायची आज्ञा केली. अंगदाने तेव्हा लंकेत हाहाकार उडवून दिला आणि शेपटीने जाळपोळ केली. तदनंतर तो रामाकडे परत आला.
वाल्मिकी रामायणाच्या युद्धकांडाच्या ४१ व्या सर्गात या प्रसंगाचे वर्णन येते. परंतु वाल्मिकी रामायणात अंगदाने शेपूट वापरून आसन तयार केले असे वर्णन मला सापडले नाही. परंतु लोक साहित्यात असे वर्णन वारंवार येते.

Surya
इन्द्र सोमं पिब ऋतुना त्वा विशन्त्विन्दवः ।
मत्सरासस्तदोकसः ॥
ऋग्वेद १. १५. १
The first ever mention of Surya comes from the Rigveda texts Rucha 1.15.1 which says: This solar year, Uttarayan, Dakshinayana, spring etc. Twelve months, Chaitra etc., Shukla and Krishna Paksha, day and night, Muhurta which is the combination of thirty phases, “Kashtha” which is the combination of eighteen “nimesh” and a nimesh. etc. distributes as the division of the time. As Manu has said, and draws with him the juices of all medicines and waters from all places, He is situated in space with the rays, and moves with the wind.
Iconography:
Surya is usually with two arms with lotus flowers. He is riding a chariot pulled by seven horses which indicate seven visible colours and the charioteer is Aruna. Another interesting feature is he often wears shoes.

तांडव स्तोत्र श्लोक १५
The folklores of love of Shri Mahadev for his wife Maa Sati
are famous since ancient times.
Shiva lived in a crematorium and used the ashes from pyres
to apply on his body. Sati was a princess with all abundances in life. She
barely knew any harsh realities of life. She fell in love with Lord Shiva and
did rigorous penance to please him and also to obtain permission from her
father for the wedding. Her father gave her hand to Mahadev against his wishes.
Textual Description:
The ancient texts describe the wedding as Paanigrahan of
Parvati by four armed Shiva. Shiva has Jata Mukut and holds a Parshu – the axe
and a Trishul – a trident. Bhagawan Vishnu along with his wives Bhudevi &
Lakshmi are also present and Brahma – creator of the world is the priest for
the wedding.
