Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ayodhya Kanda – Devi Kausalya speaks pleasantly to Rama

 

Chapter – 43– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kausalya speaks pleasantly to Rama

 

The words spoken out by Raghuvara were true and appropriate, yet the evil-minded Devi Kaikeyi was not able to absorb them all, like a leech that sloping on the watery surface. The queen rejoiced at heart to understand the willingness of Rama to leave the Kingdom, immediately she assumed a false affection on her face, and began to speak “ Oh! Rama, I feel the affection to you and Bharatha is the cause for the grief of the King. Oh! Dear son, you are the source of delight to your parents and brothers, should not do anything that makes others unhappy. You are true to your words; you have truly adhered to the words of your parents. I wish you should speak to your father, later it should not bring soreness in your relationship with him. Oh! Rama, your father is righteous and truthful, that was the reason he has achieved you as his son.” The affectionate words rushed out of the mouth of Devi Kaikeyi resembled the sacred river Gaya, on the cursed land of Magdha.  The sweet words adopted by Devi Kaikeyi were sounded pleasant to Rama, like all the watercourses confluence in the sacred river Ganga.
