Chapter – 170 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha addresses the assembly with the pleasant words

 

Bharatha grew restless listening to the nectar-like innocent words of Devi Kausalya, the lotus-like eyes of Bharatha overflown with tears that watered fresh shoots of anxiousness in his heart, whoever watched Bharatha’s pure love and devotion for Rama forgot their existence.  Tulsidas Maharaj described it as flawless love. Bharatha rose from the seat, and stood with folded hands, addressed the huge assembly with the innocent words, those words resembled nectar was steeped into the ears of the listeners. “My revered preceptor has given me excellent advice which has been recommended by the ministers and subjects of Ayodhya. My beloved mother Devi Kausalaya too has advised me what is appropriate for the situation, I certainly wish to carry out her affectionate orders with utmost reverence. It is advisable to sincerely follow the advice of preceptor, parents, master, and closest companion for welfare and happiness. Whoever fails to perform one’s own duties and responsibilities would incur a load of sins. All the advice I have received from my preceptor and Mother Kausalya will do good to me, even though my heart is not fully convinced. Hence, kindly listen to my requests and advise me. Kindly forgive me for my presumption and courage to speak before the elders, the wise and learned won’t consider it is an act of virtueless when the other person is in extreme distress.”
