Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ayodhya Kanda – Devi Kaikeyi offers the robes of the hermit, wooden vessels, and prayer beads to Rama

 


Chapter – 79– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kaikeyi offers the robes of the hermit, wooden vessels and prayer beads to Rama

 

The women assembled were advised Devi Sita to follow the words of elderly members in the family, though their advice sounded pleasing and most agreeable, nothing seemed attractive to Devi Sita, instead felt like the touch of the rays of the autumn moon on female Chakravaha that made restless. Devi Sita who is too modest did not reply, but Devi Kaikeyi was blazing listening to the talks of women assembled. Soon, Devi Kaikeyi brought the robes of the hermit, prayer beads, and wooden vessels and placed them before Rama and Sita, and spoke gentle words “Oh! Raghuveera, you are dear as life to King and the people of Ayodhya. Your father is too weak to forget the promises due to the attachment to his son. He is all prepared to give away his fame, righteousness, and promises, and the goodness of life after the Earth for the sake of his beloved son, he may make all attempts to stop you from proceeding to woods. Therefore, keep all those in mind, and do whatever appropriate for the moment.” Lord Sri Ramachandra rejoiced at heart listening to the speech of Devi Kaikeyi, it was like sharp arrows that pierced the heart of the King who was already wounded badly. King Dhasharatha lamented at his fate “will my life come to an end sooner?”. The people assembled were saddened to watch the animosity of Devi Kaikeyi, soon the King lost his consciousness, the people retired from the chamber in utter dismay. Prabhu Sri Ramachandra delightfully dressed in a saffron robe, prostrated before the mothers, and left the palace.
