Chapter – 25– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– King Dhasharatha visits the Kopagriha to meet Devi Kaikeyi
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, it was
the late evening, King Dhasharatha arrived in the chamber of Devi Kaikeyi,
resembled the love personified rushing towards the callousness personified as
Kaikeyi. Soon, the King came to know
that Devi Kaikeyi is in the Kopagriha, not in her chamber, he was aghast, his
feet were not willing to move further out of anxiousness. King Dhasharatha
whose powerful arms were sought after by the deities for protection, and whose
fame is widespread among the Kings of the neighboring country was troubled to move
forward noticing the anger of his consort, all that was the result of unconquerable
pleasure of physical attraction to Devi Kaikeyi. Oh! Mune, it is impossible to
win over the cupid arrows of Manmatha, even for the King who had won several
battles, courageously stood before the spears, swords, powerful weapons
resembled thunderbolts. King Dhasharatha reluctantly approached the Kopagriha,
and found Devi Kaikeyi in a miserable state on the floor, she was laying on the
rough and cold stone floor, her hair was disheveled, all her ornaments were battered
on the floor. Her untidy and faded garment was well suited for the state of her
mind, resembled the upcoming calamity in the family, revealing her impending
widowhood. King Dhasharatha moved closer to her and spoke in a sweet tone “Oh!
Pranapriye, why are you so angry?”
Sanjj Samaya Sanandha Nripu Gayau Kaikayi
Geha | Gavanu Niduratha Nikata Kiya Janu
Dhari Dheha Saneha ||
Kopabhavana Suni Sakucheau Rau | Bhaya Basa
Agahuda Parayi Na Pau || Surapathi Basayi Bahabala Jake | Narapathi Sakala
Rahahi Rukha Thake || So Suni Thiya
Gayau Sukhayi | Dhekhahu Kama Prathapa Badayi || Soola Kulisa Asi Agavanihare |
The Rathinatha Sumana Sara Mare ||
Sabhya Naresu Priya Pahi Gayau | Dhekhi Dhasa Dhukhu Dharuna Bhayau || Bhoomi Sayana Patu Mot Purana |
Dhiye Dari Thana Bhooshana Nana || Kumathihi Kasi Kubeshatha Phabi | Ana Ahivathu Soocha Janu Bhabi || Jayi Nikata Nripa Kaha Mridhu Bani |
Pranapriya Kehi Hethu Risani ||
