Chapter – 89– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Guha prepares Kushagrass bed for Lord Rama in the midst of a cluster of auspicious trees in the forest
Ram spoke in a soft tone “Oh! Guha, I have promised
to follow the life of a hermit living in the woods for fourteen years to my
father. Therefore, I should strictly follow the life of a hermit, wearing a saffron robe, living in the dense woods, and depending on the fruits and
vegetables available in the forest. Therefore, living in a village will not be
advisable for a hermit.” Guha was heartbroken, became anxious about the life
of Rama in the dense woods. The people of the village assembled around Lord Rama,
Lakshmana and Devi Sita; spoke in utter amazement “Oh! Dear, what kind of
parents are they? How could they send their children to live in the forest?”
others said “The Almighty Lord has heard our prayers and showered blessings on
us. The King has done very well indeed.” The Nishadha Raja Guha remembered the
beautiful and serene land in the wood for their stay, shortly he took Rama to
the place where the cluster of Ashoka trees, Rama readily agreed to live in the
serene land amidst the cluster of auspicious trees. The people of the village
offered obeisance and returned to their homes, while the Lord of Raghu prepared
to retire for sun worship at the hours of dusk. Guha prepared a beautiful
mattress made out of Kushagrass and tender leaves for Rama and Devi Sita, he made
cups out of leaves and filled it with fresh fruits and water.”
