Chapter – 169 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– The ministers of the assembly and Devi Kausalya pleads Bharatha to listen to the orders of the preceptor

 

The ministers in the assembly raised from their seats with folded hands cheered “You have to follow the command of your preceptor, when Rama returns from the exile, you can do whatever is appropriate at that moment.” Devi Kausalya gathered the courage to speak and pronounced “Oh! Dear son, the command of the Preceptor should not be overruled, you should follow it sincerely for the good of you. Oh! Dear child, stop grieving, accept fate and changes are inevitable. The Lord of Raghu is in the woods, and the King is in the abode of deities, Oh! Dear child, do not be weak-hearted, you are the only support for the Kingdom, its subjects, ministers, your family, your mothers, etc. Oh! Dear child, I order you after perceiving the situation thoroughly, it is the willingness of Almighty Lord, and the destiny, have courage and reverentially obey the command of your preceptor, rule the Kingdom wisely for the welfare of the people and relieve your family from the afflictions.” Bharatha silently listened to the wise words of preceptor, mother, ministers, and honorable members in the assembly, those were soothing as sandalwood paste to his heart. He further listened to his mother Kausalya’s nectar-like innocent and affectionate words.
