Lord explained that in His incarnation as Lord Rama
He must establish the principle of eka patni vratah
or the vow of fidelity to only one wife. However, in
the future in another incarnation, He would accept
Vedavati as his wife. This transpired during the Treta
yuga. Vedavati patiently waited until the end of Treta
yuga and the entire Dvapara yuga until Kali yuga for
the Lord to incarnate so that he could accept her as
His wife.

In the dynasty of the moon, there was a great king of
the Chola family named Sudarma. He had two sons.
Aksharaj and Thondaman. The two brothers grew
up and bonded together with brotherly love. When
they were of age to take the responsibility of the
kingdom, Sudarma accepted the renounced order
of life. He divided his kingdom in half before he left
and gave each of his sons one half to administrate.
The two brothers had such love for each other that
they decided to rule the kingdom together without
dividing it. Sudarma went to the forest, never
to return.

Aksaraj was the elder brother. He ruled the citizens
like a loving father, yet he still had one desire
he wanted to fulfill. He wanted the blessing of
having a child.
