Chapter – 34– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– King Dhasharatha pleads to Devi Kaikeyi to change her mind
Devi Kaikeyi voiced “Oh! Rajan, remember my
words if Rama does not retire to woods before the daybreak, leaving all the
royal comforts, attired in a saffron robe of a hermit, and matted hair locks, I promise
you that you will not see me alive, and you will bear the ill reputation of it.”
Thus, Devi Kaikeyi rose on her feet resembled the brimming water of anger
splashed down from the mountain of sin, and the overflowing water broken all
the boundaries gave out a terrible appearance. The two boons she has asked were
the coronation of Bharatha as the King of Ayodhya and the exile of Rama from
the Kingdom resembled the two banks of the river, her anger resembled the
whirlwind in the water caused by the wicked influence of Manthara, uprooted the
King who appeared as a giant tree on the bank, and the wickedness of Kaikeyi like
muddy water rushed towards the ocean of adversity. Finally, King Dhasharatha
understood that all that was spoken were real, the demand of Devi Kaikeyi was
true, in a moment the King felt that his death is dancing above his head in the
form of his beloved consort. Suddenly, King fell down at the feet of Devi
Kaikeyi, and tightly clasped her feet, and begged with teary eyes “Oh! Devi, do
not be an ax on the clan of Raghu, kindly show some respect to the solar
race. Oh! Devi, you can ask for my head, I am readily offering it to you, but do
not separate me from Rama while I am alive. Kindly leave Rama with me,
otherwise, you will burn with anguish and grief all your life.”
