Chapter – 21– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Manthara influences Queen Kaikeyi to follow her advice
Devi Kaikeyi spoke passively “I have not
committed sin towards anyone during my lifetime, I wonder I can’t even imagine
what was the reason for the troubles mounted upon us all of a sudden. I would
prefer to spend the rest of my life in my father’s Kingdom, instead of serving Devi
Kausalya and the royal family. No one
would prefer to live with an enemy, even if it has all the luxuries of heaven,
instead death would be appropriate.” Devi Kaikeyi continued to pour out her
grief and anguish to the wicked hunch-back, who enjoyed every bit of it, began
to speak as a well-wisher “Oh! Devi, do not give up, do not speak while you are
grieving or angry, you will get back all your happiness and good fortune, and
whoever plotted against you, and caused grief to you will reap the fruit of
their misdeeds. Oh! Lady, ever since I have heard of the coronation of Rama as
the King of Ayodhya, I have lost my appetite and sleep in the night, I have
consulted with an astrologer, he assured me with a positive prediction that
Bharatha shall be the King of Ayodhya. Oh!Bhamini/virtuous one, I shall advise
you, if you follow my suggestions
sincerely, you may succeed to regain your fortune and happiness, the King must
have certain obligations towards you too.”
Apane Chalatha Na Aaju Lagi
Anabhala Kahuka Keenha | Kehi Adha Yekahi Bara Mohi Dhau Dhusaha Dhukhu
Dheenha ||
Naihara Janamu Bharaba Baru Jayi | Jiatha
Na Karabi Savathi Sevakayi || Ari Basa
Dhau Jiavath Jahi | Maranu Neeka Thehi Jeevana Chahi || Dheena Bachana Kaha
Bahubidhi Rani | Suni Kubari Thiyamaya Dani || Asa Kasa Kahahu Mani Man Una |
Sukhu Sohagu Thumha Kahu Dhina Dhoona || Jehi Raura Athi Anabhala Thaka | Soyi
Payihi Yahu Phalu Paripaka || Jab The Kumatha Suna Mei Swamini | Bhookha Na Basara
Neendha Na Jamini || Poocheau Guninha Rekha Thinha Khanchi | Bharatha Bhuala
Hohi Yaha Sanchi || Bhamini Karahu Tha Kahau Upau | Hai Thumhari
Seva Basa Rau ||
