Chapter -105 – Dhoha


Rama and Lakshmana meets King Dhasharatha 


The female deities showered flowers upon the people gathered and sing melodiously, deities produced the sounds of Dhundhubi.  The people of King Janaka kept all those precious gifts before King Dhasharatha, and reverentially greeted, and requested to accept all those gifts. King Dhashratha gracefully received all those gifts and distributed it to the people gathered. They respectfully invited King Dhasharatha and his people to the fortresses arranged for them to stay that were magnificent with all the modern amenities. There were grand carpets spread all over the pathways, Lord Kubera felt crushed his pride, watching the arrangements have made by King Janaka. Devi Sita felt extremely happy at the arrival of the groom’s procession, she remembered her Sidhdhis and instructed to provide all those richness, wealth, happiness, heavenly pleasures to her guests.


The people who accompanied the procession of the groom experienced the heavenly pleasures in their fortress, but none realized the divine play of Devi Sita. Everyone sung in praise of King Janaka, it was Rama who was aware of the divinity of Devi Sita. Rama felt extremely happy watching the love of Devi Sita. The two brothers could control their excitement and happiness at the arrival of their father, even though they had an intense desire to meet him, they did not mention to their preceptor due to embarrassment. Sage Vishwamithra understood the simplicity and the humility of Rama and Lakshmana, he embraced them affectionately, his eyes filled in tears, eventually, they went to meet King Dhasharatha, and it was like for a thirsty moving closer to the pond.



King Dhasharatha saw Rama and Lakshmana along with Maharishi Vishwamithra marching towards his chamber; he rushed to greet them in extreme bliss. King Dhasharatha prostrated before Maharishi, and took the dust from his feet and adorned it on his head. Kaushika embraced King Dhasharatha and enquired the welfare of the people of Ayodhya. Rama and Lakshmana prostrated before Dhasharatha, he could not control his happiness, he embraced them tightly and removed his grief of separation from them, and it was like the dead regained the life. Rama and Lakshmana prostrated before Sage Vashishta, was embraced by Rishis. They reverentially greeted all those twice-born assembled, Bharatha and Shathrughna prostrated before Rama was embraced tightly. Lakshmana embraced Bharatha and Shathrughna in extreme delight.



The Supreme Lord who is extremely compassionate, met all those people arrived from Ayodhya, met them separately and greeted them, he met Prajas, attendants, relatives, beggars, ministers and friends. The people who arrived after long hours of journey forgot their tiredness watching the pleasing Rama, and soaked in extreme love for each other, it was beyond description. It was like the four sons of Dhasharatha were the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha like Purushartha incarnated on the Earth.  The people who witnessed Dhasharatha with his four handsome sons were drenched in extreme bliss, deities showered flowers upon them, and the sounds of Dhundhubi echoed in the air, the female deities beautifully danced to the tunes.  King Janaka and his preceptor, Shathanandha, twice-born, ministers, and the Vandhigana, Magadha, Sutha who were singing in praised of both the clans, received King Dhasharatha and his people, eventually returned to their palaces. The procession of the groom was reached before the day of the celestial wedding; therefore the Kingdom of Mithila has arranged various grand festivities for their guests. All of them were taken great pleasure in Bhramananda and requested Lord Bhrama to keep the day and night prolonged.


The people who met each other spoke highly praising Rama and Sita “This divine pair is the essence of beauty and fortune.”
