Chapter – 153– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha meets Devi Kaikeyi and enquire about the welfare of the
family
The people of Ayodhya met Bharatha, they
prostrated before him and moved away silently without greeting a word, it was the same with Bharatha too, his mind was preoccupied and restless due to fear and
grief, hence he could not ask about their welfare. The marketplaces and
streets were empty as if the wildfire broke out engulfed the entire city from
ten directions. Kaikeyi came to know about the arrival of Bharatha who is the
delight of Raghu’s, soon she prepared a large decorated golden tray with the
Mangaladhravya and earthen lamps to remove evil eyes on her son, she rejoiced
at heart and waited impatiently at the entrance of her fortress. Bharatha was
surprised to see his mother at the entrance of her fortress, while the entire
palace wore a gloomy and wretched look, like the frost fallen on the fully
blossomed lotus flowers, but she was extremely delighted to meet her son, resembled
the Bhila woman set fire to the woods. As soon as Bharatha entered, she
enquired in high spirits “How is everyone in my home?” Bharatha detailed
everything about the welfare of his maternal uncle and family, further he
enquired about the welfare of his father, mothers, brothers, and their wives, Kingdom
and the subjects, etc. Bharatha enthusiastically shot several queries about the
whereabouts and welfare of Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Sita.
Purajana Milahi Na Kahahi Kacchu Gavahi Joharahi Jahi | Bharatha Kusala Poochi
Na Sakahi Bhaya Bishadha Manamahi ||
Hat Bat Nahi Jayi Nihari | Janu Pura Dhaha
Dhisi Lagi Dhavari || Aavatha Sutha Suni Kaikayanandhini | Harashi Rabikula
Jalaruha Chandhini || Saji Aarathi Mudhitha Udi Dhayi | Dhvarehi Bheti Bhavana
Leyi Aayi || Bharatha Dhukhitha Parivaru Nihara | Manahu Thuhina Banaja Banu
Mara || Kaikeyi Harashitha Yehi Bhanthi | Manahu Mudhitha Dhava Layi Kirathi ||
Suthahi Samocha Dhekhi Manu Mare | Poochathi Naihara Kusala Hamare || Sakala
Kusala Kahi Bharatha Sunayi | Poochi Nija Kula Kusala Bhalayi || Kahu Kaha
Thatha Kaha Sab Matha| Kaha Siya Rama Lakhana Priya Bhratha ||
