Mainda Dvivida

Jambhava was an old bear and he was the oldest of kings of their lineage and known as Riksharaja also. He used to look after orphan children in his hermit. He trained many monkeys and educated them as good kings for Kishkindha, in olden days. Mainda and Dwividha were born by the blessings of Ashwini twin stars. They had been brought up by Jambhava and educated well. Higher education received by them from Jambhava had made them scholars and they had learned war techniques also. When they had grown up, they started serving in the country of Sugriva, as duo commandos. Due to their skill and aptitude, God Brahma had blessed those precious Upanishads and essence of Vedas also.

Such knowledge was compared with nectar, by drinking which one could overcome death, or live for a very long time.

विद्या च्च अविद्या च्च यस्तद् वेदो उभयं सह ।
अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्यया ऽमृतमश्नुते ॥

The meaning: Vedas teach the knowledge and then one could overcome ignorance. Ignorance would lead to death but education, like nectar, saves life. Having education is compared with drinking of nectar.

Mainda had faced the demon Vajramushti and killed him. Dwividha had faced the demon Ashaniprabha and killed him.

Later, Mainda and Dwividha had served Rama lifelong. When Rama elevated to heaven, he offered them a revisit, by Rama, in the later Dwapara yuga. Hence, he extended their span of life time, till that second visit, and ordered to guard the Dharma in Kishkindha living with Jambhava.

Time had passed and Dwapara yuga had entered the world. God Krishna had started living in Dwaraka. One day, Pandavas proposed Ashwamedha yaga. Their horse was crossing the Kishkindha country.

Then, without knowing more about the incarnation of God Krishna, they had arrested the yaga horse. In the fight, Nakula, Sahadeva and Ajuna had failed since either one of the monkeys, Mainda or Dwividha could appear before them or the other one was sitting on the branch of a tree and helped the other one. Finally, Arjuna prayed to God Krishna for more help.

During the fight, Mainda and Dwividha could not approve and were not willing to believe God Krishna as God Rama, contesting that if the God Krishna was the original Rama, then he should be able to hold the celestial bow in his hand. Then, God Krishna obtained the bow from Arjuna and appeared before the duo commandos as God Rama. Immediately, both of them prostrated before God Rama and requested him to elevate them to his abode in the heaven, declaring their current commission of life is over. Their desire was thus fulfilled fully.

Jambhava continued his orphanage. He got one female child in the forest and looked after it as if his own child. Hence the child later got the name Jambhavati. When Jambhvati had grown up, he gave her to God Krishna, in marriage, along with the gift of diamond stone Syamanthaka mani.
