Nala Nul : king of Nishādhas & husband of Damayanti. Naladamayanti, the legend of their romance forms “Nalopakhyanam” in the Mahabharata.
... Nala and Damayanti Nala and Damayanti O nce upon a time there was a king named Nala, who ruled over a people known as the Nishadas. Now this Nala was the. first of kings. In person he was strong and handsome, full of kingly honour, and gracious in his bearing. He loved archery and hunting, and all the sports of monarchs. And one special gift was his... exquisite maiden. It happened that constantly before Damayanti, the minstrels and heralds chanted the praises of Nala, and before Nala Page 27 those of Damayanti, till the two began to dream of each other, with an attachment that was not born of sight. And Nala, conscious of the love that was awakening within him, began to pass much of his time in the gardens of his palace, alone... years ere* Kali, watching Nala, could find in his conduct any slightest flaw by which he might be able to enter in and possess him. At last, however, there came an evening when he performed his worship without having completed all his ablutions. Then, through this error, Kali took possession of Nala. Also he appeared before his brother, Pushkara, tempting him to challenge Nala to a game of dice. And Dwapara ...
... Varuna had asked for Damayanti's hand. They had even used Nala as their emissary, and Nala, although a suitor himself, had faithfully helped them. Yet Damayanti chose Nala, a man, over the gods. Why? What does Nala have that the gods do not have? Here, a clue to the question is hidden in the beautiful image of the four gods seated along with Nala at the swayamvar ceremony. The gods have managed in such... more important than that of Nala. But this would be unfair to the man Damayanti chose of her own will amongst gods. In fact, Nala and Damayanti were attacked by the same enemy, waged the same battle, although through different means, and they both won. Nala Nala's purity and truthfulness are equal to those of Damayanti. Lest we be inclined to think of Nala as a husband who betrays his... forest, even in the grasp of a huge python, she thinks only of Page 18 Nala's suffering, she grieves only for Nala, she has compassion only for Nala. And again it is this psychic love that finally would indicate to Damayanti more surely than any external sign that she was going to be reunited with Nala. Back in her father's home, one day she felt a sudden and tremendous joy; this is ...
... servant yonder? Might either of ye by chance have heard aught of Nala? It may even be that thou knowest whither King Nala is gone!" "Nay, nay!" answered Vahuka. "That King in his calamity wanders about the world, disguised, and despoiled even of his beauty. Nala's self only knoweth Nala, and she also that is his second self. Nala never discovereth his secret to any!" "And yet," replied the... ornaments, and even she waited sorrowfully for the coming again of her husband, Nala. For in all this time he had never been heard of. Now it had happened to Nala that on finally leaving Damayanti he saw a mighty forest fire, and from its midst he heard the voice of some creature crying, "Come to my aid, O mighty Nala!" Saying, "Fear not!" the King stepped at once within the circle of fire... great snake made himself as small as the human thumb, and taking him in his hands, Nala carried him to a place outside the fire. But as he was about to place him on the ground, the snake bit him, and Nala perceived that as he was bitten, his form had been changed. Page 53 And the snake spoke, saying, "Nala, be comforted! I have deprived thee of thy beauty, that none may recognise thee. And ...
... their ways, Who here in mortal form his greatness hides? Or is it — can it be — Nala the Prince, Nala the steed tamer?" Thus pondered he: "Whatever Nala knew this one doth know. Alike the mastery seems of both; alike I judge their years. If this man be not he, Two Nalas are there in the world for skill. They say there wander mighty powers on earth In... rules of numbers, taking Nala's too. But wonderful! So soon as Nala knew That hidden gift, the accursed Kali leapt Page 89 Forth from his breast, the evil spirit's mouth Spewing the poison of Karkotaka Even as he issued. From the afflicted Prince That bitter plague of Kali passed away; And for a space Prince Nala lost himself, Rent... people, praising thee, This shall protect them from the dread of me; NALA shall guard from KALI, if so now Thou spare to curse me, seeking grace of thee." Thus supplicated, Nala stayed his wrath, Acceding; and the direful Kali fled Into the Wounded tree, possessing it. But of no eyes, save Nala's, was he seen, Nor heard of any other; and the Prince, His sorrows ...
... great philosophical systems, the codes of ethics, the codes of statecraft as well as the sciences and arts began to develop. Nalopakhyanam The story of Nala is supposed to be very ancient. It is said that the name of Nala, king of Nishada, goes back to Vedic antiquity. As Edwin Arnold (a poet who gave a rendition of Nalopakhyanam in verse) said: "I believe certain portions of the mighty... paradoxically, nowhere is this restrained art more visible than when he handles the miraculous, particularly in the story of Nala and Damayanti. As Sri Aurobindo says: In such surroundings wonders might seem natural and deities as in Arcadia might peep from under every tree. Nala's messengers to Damayanti are a troop of golden winged swans that speak with a human voice; he is intercepted on his way... Nala and Damayanti Notes Vyasa "Of the Munis I am Vyasa" (Bhagavad Gita 10.37) First among the Munis: such was the place given to the Rishi Vyasa by ancient India. The name of Vyasa is common to many old authors and compiers, but it is especially applied to Veda-Vyasa or Krishna Dvaipayana.He was the son of Rishi Parashara and Satyavati ...
... The Savitri story inevitably challenges comparison with the much longer Nala story, which also finds a place in the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata. Nala is more of a tragic hero, and Damayanti more of a long-suffering heroine, than Satyavan or Savitri. Damayanti is a heroine wholly without blemish, and Nala himself is more sinned against than sinning; it is the dark God who engineers most... as one reads the poem one feels that what needs to be said has been said; one accepts the story as something primordial and permanently significant like the Sun itself. There are other 'episodes'—the Nala and the Sakuntala, for example—in the Mahabharata that have also won the affections of many generations of men, but the Savitri stands apart even among them, verily a star. "The 'story of Savitri'... quite other foundations. Man here is master of his fate; Woman is shakti, the redeemer, the transvaluer of values, the subduer of destiny. Comparing the two stories Sri Aurobindo writes: The Nala.. .has the delicate and unusual romantic grace of a young and severe classic who has permitted himself to go a-maying in the fields of romance. There is a remote charm of restraint in ...

Basked on his sentinel stone, a single kite Circled above; white-headed over rust Of brown and gold he stained the purple noon. Solitary in the spaces of his mind Among these sights and sounds King Nala paced Oblivious of the joy of outward things.

... Tale of Nala and two different versions of the Chitrangada story (one of which had appeared in the Karmayogin and later in the Annual of the Sri Aurobindo.
