Dear Seeker, I took the term to be "e:ka patni vratha". A vratha, at least in the way I understand it, is a commitment, a vow, a dedication; if this is true the term would imply one who is committed to one wife. If Ra:ma had taken sight of only one woman, then how can we explain Sabari, Ahalya, etc.? Mohan agnidasa wrote: > Dear devotees, > > I have a doubt and seeking explanation from bhaktas here.
