Chapter – 27– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kaikeyi prepares for a pleasant conversation with the King
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Devi
Kaikeyi after listening to the sweet words of the King rose from the floor,
smiled vindictively, and began to decorate her body with various ornaments as
if the lioness prepares to pounce at the deer. King mistook her actions,
approached her passionately, and addressed her in great enthusiasm “Oh! Beloved
one, we have achieved the fruitfulness of our lives, the subjects of the
Kingdom are rejoicing at the upcoming coronation ceremony of Rama as the King
of Ayodhya, the kingdom is all prepared for the grand festivals and ceremonies are
yet to perform. Oh! Sulochani, I have decided to perform the crowning ceremony
of Rama tomorrow, so do not wait too long, get yourself ready with exquisite
ornaments and garments.” The sweet words of King ripped apart the heart of Devi
Kaikeyi as if the ripened fruit get split open at the soft touch. Soon, she
covered the hurt with a dramatic smile on her face, as if the wife of a thief
does not show her grief watching her husband undergo punishments. Alas! the
king was not able to trace the reaction of Queen Kaikeyi who was already persuaded
by her tutor, the wicked hunch-back famous for her crookedness. Even though the
King was extremely wise and intelligent in statesmanship, was ignorant in
recognizing the heart of a woman, which resembles an unfathomable ocean. Devi
Kaikeyi put a false smile on her face and approached the King with a graceful
movement."
