In Valmiki Ramayana, Rama asked Vishwamitra, how is it that a female spirit has the strength of thousand elephants. What is the secret behind this.
This was a question about Tadaka, the she demon. Vishwamitra had just told the young Rama, that he had to kill this demon.
Once there was a monk called Suketu. He spent his days praying to the almighty. He was praying for a child and pleased with his devotion, soon a daughter called Tadaka, was born to him.
She wed a Gandharva. Sunda and soon had a son, Maricha. As fate would have it, Sunda passed away and Tadaka was widowed.
When Tadaka had been born, she had been blessed with great strength and beauty. She, realizing her qualities, had become vain in nature.
Once when the sage Agastya ignored her presence, she along with her son, tried attacking the same. The angered sage cursed the mother and son to become Rakshshas.
Saying this, Vishwamitra told Rama, where we stand now, is where Agastya had cursed Tadaka. Find where she is, and kill her.
