Chapter – 19– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Manthara infuses extreme fear and anguish in Devi Kaikeyi
The wicked hunch-back Manthara who is
skilled in creating trouble discreetly influenced the queen Devi Kaikeyi with
several mischievous stories related to the wives of Kings who were victimized
in the families, and the stories of jealousy and crookedness among the women in the royal
families. It was unfortunate, Devi Kaikeyi kept great trust in sinful
Manthra who continued aggressively “Oh! Devi, it is strange that you are not
aware of the upcoming coronation ceremony of Rama as the King of Ayodhya. What
do you know about the happenings in the Kingdom? Even the dull people know what’s
happening around them, and know what’s good or bad, the preparation for the
ceremony has been begun from the last fortnight, alas! you came to know about
the ceremony from me today. Oh! Devi, I get my food and clothing from serving
you, so I have spoken the truth to you, and you can’t blame me for that. If I
speak lie to you, that would be awful, Almighty God will punish me. Anyways, it
was God’s willing, the ceremony of coronation of Rama as the King of Ayodhya
was disposed of, and He has sown the seeds of your misfortune. Oh! Devi, I swear
to God and affirm you that you have been discarded from the royal family, like
the fly from the milk. Oh! Lady, the coronation ceremony of Rama would change
the status of you and your son Bharatha, both would remain as a servant in the
family, sometimes you may be allowed to live in the fortress, otherwise not.”
