*I remember on deepavali days my mother &other ladies used to put dots on the thighs of children by telling a sloka "Aswathama ....Vyasa hanuman parasurama Vibheesana.."..I need someone to rearrange the sloka with correct words.

[Pratyaksham Bala]

From:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiranjivi

"A mantra, about the seven immortals, is said to give human beings good luck and long life if recited everyday:
"Ashwathaama Balir Vyaso Hanumanash cha Vibhishana Krupacharya cha Parashuramam Saptaita Chiranjeevanam"
which means Ashwathama, Maha Bali, Vyasa, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Kripacharya and Parashurama, are the 7 long lived personalities."
