Chapter – 29– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kaikeyi asks for two boons to King Dhasharatha and the
grief of the King
The King’s desire to crown Rama as the King
of Ayodhya, represents the beautiful grove that provides shelter to lovely
birds appear as joy, Devi Kaikeyi resembled the Bhila woman who is all
prepared to hunt down the birds with the shot of sharp arrows, with her
merciless words. Devi Kaikeyi gracefully moved towards the King and spoke “Oh!
Beloved Lord, I have to ask for a boon that pleases my heart, hence I would ask
for the crowning ceremony of Bharatha as the King of Ayodhya, kindly promise me
that you would provide me that boon. Oh! Lord, I may ask for the second boon
with folded hands, kindly accomplish my wish, let Rama live in the woods for fourteen
years, as a hermit completely disconnected from the world.” The King was shocked
at the gentle words of Devi Kaikeyi, he could not utter a word out of grief,
like the Chakravaha in agony felt the touch of moonlight. He turned pale, as
if struck by the lightning, closed his eyes tightly, shriveled in extreme pain,
murmured “My long-cherished wish was about to fulfill, the celestial tree of
desire with fully blossomed flowers was about to bear fruits were thrashed by
an untamed elephant resembled Kaikeyi, she has set fire to the happiness of the
subjects of Ayodhya, and brought everlasting misery to the Kingdom.”
