When you said that Ramayann Dalawa family consisted of his wife and brother and that he had asked to adopt his brother's child, does that mean he did not have a child by his Brahmin wife? What was the name of his brother who later stayed in Aruvikkarai? I would be much obliged if i could get this information.
