Chapter – 20– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Manthara succeeds in her devious plans to manipulate the mind of
Devi Kaikeyi
Manathara spoke vehemently “You would be
like the unfortunate Vinatha who was persecuted by Kadhru, the mother of
serpent race, in the same manner, Devi Kausalya would dictate you, treat you as
her servant after the coronation ceremony of Rama as the King of Ayodhya.
Finally, Bharatha would be thrown into prison and tortured for no reason, and
Lakshman would serve the newly crowned King Rama.” Devi Kaikeyi, daughter of
Kaikeya shriveled listening to the most horrific predictions of Manthara after
coronation of Rama, she could not utter a word out of anxiousness, her body quivered
like the plantain tree, drenched in perspiration and agony. The wicked
hunch-back, bit her tongue looking at the pathetic state of the queen,
understood her traitorous act worked very well on Devi Kaikeyi, the way she has
portrayed Bharatha and the queen had shaken the world before the queen.
Manthara continued to fill the ears of Devi Kaikeyi with the miserable stories
of the queens in the royal families and comforted the queen to be courageous
and fight for her right. At last, Manthara succeeded in her plan to change the
mind of Devi Kaikeyi completely, the queen has mistaken the heron as a swan,
considered Manthara as a loyal servant, and praised her intelligence “Oh! Manthara,
whatever told are absolutely right, I have been witnessing the bad omens for
the last few days, my right part of the limb is trembling, I have been troubled by
nightmares for the past few days, but I didn’t mention it to you. Oh! Manthara, I
did not dream of anyone devious against me, I am innocent by nature, I cannot distinguish
a friend and foe.”
Kadhru Binathahi Dheenha Dhukhu Thumhahi
Kausila Deba | Bharathu Bandhigriha Seyihahi Lakhanu Rama Ke Neba ||
Kakayasutha Sunatha Katu Bani | Kahi Na
Sakayi Kacchu Sahami Sukhani || Thana
Paseau Kadhali Jimi Kapi | Kubari Dhasana Jeeba
Thab Chapi || Kahi Kahi Kotika
Kapata Kahani | Dheeraju Dharahu Prabodhisi Rani || Phira Karamu Priya
Lagi Kuchali | Bakihi Sarahayi Mani
Marali || Sunu Manthara Bath Phuri Thori | Dhahini Aakhini Nitha Pharakayi Mori || Dhin Prathi Dhekhau Rathi
Kusapane | Kahau Na Thohi Moha Basa Apane || Kaha Karau Sakhi Soodha Subhau |
Dhahina Bama Na Janau Kau ||
