Chapter – 160 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha gracefully accepts the sins of his mother’s conspiracy against the family

 

The whole people assembled in the palace became inconsolable watching the miserable state of Devi Kausalya, the palace of the King resembled an abode of sorrow. Bharatha and Shathrughna could not control their grief, Devi Kausalya embraced them tightly and comforted them, then she calmed Bharatha in many ways and advised him the words of wisdom. Bharatha too described various legends from scriptures and Veda, and consoled his mothers, he folded hands and spoke words of kindness, innocence, wise and compassion “The scriptures emphasize that the grave sins are killing Bhramana, cow, setting fire to cow shed or village of Bhramins, killing parents or son, wife, or child,  or fetus, plotting to poison the King or friend and the sins committed by words, mind and deed. Let all those sins be mine if my mother conceived a conspiracy against the family and the King.”
