Chapter – 24– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– The Kingdom of Ayodhya prepares for the grand coronation
ceremony of Rama as the King of Ayodhya
The men and women of the Kingdom were too
busy to take notice of the impending calamities, all of them were engrossed in
the preparation for the grand ceremony as in the palace. The people were
entering and leaving the palace in large numbers, the joy-filled atmosphere of Ayodhya was beyond description. Rama’s childhood companions
arrived in huge number to the fortress to congratulate Rama on the auspicious
occasion, was received with great respect, enquired about the happiness,
health, welfare of them and their families. Thus, Rama spends pleasurable time
with his childhood companions, finally, they have received permission to retire while leaving the palace they converse with each other “Is there anyone amiable,
affectionate, kind, and compassionate as Rama in this world? Whatever birth we
may achieve due to our Karma, all that we should pray to remain a sincere
servant of Sitapathi Lord Rama, let us pray to that Almighty Lord to grant us
the boon to achieve Sitapathi Rama as our Lord in all our births, and the
devotion and the pure love to Rama may flourish in us.” The people of Ayodhya
considered themselves as fortunate to be in the Ramarajya, and wished to
continue to be the servant of Rama in all their births, and prayed to Almighty.
Alas! Devi Kaikeyi’s heart was completely drenched in resentment and agony. Sri
Maharaj speaks ‘who is not get ruined by the association of the wicked people?
Even the intellectuals lose their good sense in the association of vile.”
