Chapter – 119– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– The villagers blaming Lord Bhrama for his ordinance on the charming princes and the beautiful princess

 

The villagers grieved at the fate of the two charming princes Rama and Lakshman and the beautiful princess Devi Sita “Oh! Friends, these two handsome princes, and the gorgeous princess are destined to live like a hermit, attired in a saffron robe, adorned in matted hair locks, and prayer beads, then why the Almighty Lord has created the stunning clothes, gems and precious ornaments, aren’t they pointless? If these two princes have to depend on the fruits and vegetables from the forest, that too available in the particular seasons, then all those nectar-like lavish meals and ingredients created by Almighty Lord isn’t that worthless?” some others cried “These princes are too compassionate and charming, must be born on Earth at their will, cannot be the creation of Lord Bhrama. Honestly, it is impossible to find such a most graceful youths and lovely woman in the fourteen worlds, or in the creation of Lord Bhrama or among the deities described in the Vedas and scriptures. Lord Bhrama must have felt jealous watching the loveliness of these princes and princess, none of his creation would match with the virtues, grace, and beauty of these princes and princess, that is why he has ordained them to live in the woods.” The other villagers exclaimed “We do not know anything, one thing for sure, we are fortunate, achieved the fruitfulness of our eyes. Whoever witnesses these two princes and princess would achieve an abundance of piousness in their lives.”
