Chapter -13

Queen Mynakani of Thraya Kingdom lured the heart of Mathsyendhranath and kept him in her palace for twelve years at the order of Hanuman, these couples had a child.  Gorakhnath wanted to release his preceptor from the palace of Mynakani, where men are not allowed to enter inside the fortress, it was protected by Hanuman.  Gorakhnath and Hanuman had an argument about it and they both entered into a fight, soon both of them were pacified by Lord Rama.  Hanuman warned Queen Mynakani who was a fervent devotee of Lord Hanuman that Gorakhnath arrived in the city to release his preceptor from her custodian.  She felt distressed at the thought of leaving Mathsyendhranath, Hanuman advised her to keep him in her custodian with her magical powers and beauty.  In the meantime, Gorakhnath met the lady dancers who were planned to perform before the assembly of Queen Mynakani.  Goraknathji assumed the form of a beautiful woman and joined with the lady dancers and musicians.  Gorakhnathji performed music in front of the assembly of Queen Mynakani who was present with her son and Mathsyendhranathji, at the end Mathsyendhranathji realized his disciple, Gorakhnath said “I am here with all your blessings and knowledge gained from you, your life in this Thraya Kingdom would bring disgrace to the Nath traditions, therefore you have to leave this Kingdom immediately.” Mathsyendhranathji said, “Son, it was not my wish to live in this Kingdom, Lord Hanuman compelled to do so.” Mathsyendhranathji said, “ Son, I am willing to go with you, before that you have to get permission from Queen Mynakani.”  Gorakhnathji understood Mathsyendhranathji want to get out of this place but he does not want to put Queen Mynakani in distress.  Ond day Mathsyendhranathji said, “ Gorakhnath, take my son Moninath who was not taken bath in a pond for quite some time, take him to the pond and give him a bath.”  Gorakhnath decided to get his preceptor from this worldly bondage, he took the life out of the child and kept him on the terrace of the palace.  Queen Myanakani was inconsolable, she blamed Gorakhnathji for his evil deed, Mathsyendhranathji poured harsh words on Gorakhnath “ You have killed my son like an enemy, you have to restore his life, otherwise, you have to go through severe punishments,” Gorakhnath with his Manthrasiddhi poured water on the dead body of the child, soon several children appeared in place of him, Queen Mynakani was shocked, Gorakhnath said: “ If you want you can keep all the children, otherwise find out yours.”  She was confused and pleads to give back her son; Gorakhnath said “If you could not recognize your son, how can you claim possession on him,” Finally Queen Mynakani got her son back.  Gorakhnath asked the permission of the Queen to take back his preceptor, but she asked him to wait for a year.  Gorakhnathji informed her about the current situation of Nath traditions, people pouring verbal abuse on his preceptor, Queen Mynakani pleaded him to stay for a few days and take his preceptor.  Later, Gorakhnath had a discussion with his preceptor about the death of the Moninath.  Mathsyendhranathji said it was his own drama to get the Queen out of worldly bondage.  One day Gorakhnathji said to Queen Mynakani “ Matha, kindly give us permission to leave this fortress,” Mynakani said “ Though I do not want to leave Moninath, I have another six months to live after that Moninath will be all alone in the palace, while Mathsyendhranathji  was here there was no harm for the child from the growling sounds of Hanuman, it is impossible for him to live alone in the palace, therefore please take Moninath with you.” Finally, the three Nath left the palace of Thraya Kingdom.  While leaving Queen Mynakani gave a gold bar for their spiritual journey which Mathsyendhranathji kept it safely on his shoulder bag.
