Chapter – 172– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha declares himself as impure to survive without Rama in
the Kingdom of Ayodhya
Bharatha spoke solemnly “ Oh! Mahathma, are
you expecting goodness to the country and its people from crowning a wretched
person like me, that too son of Devi Kaikeyi who is wicked and deceitful, hostile
to Rama? I shall pronounce the truth, a virtuous only could be a wise and
courageous ruler. The moment you perform the coronation of me as the King of
Ayodhya, the Earth would merge in the Pathaloka. There is no grave sinner like
me who caused the exile of Lord Rama and Devi Sita to leave to woods. The noble
King Dhasharatha exiled Rama from the Kingdom of Ayodhya, immediately he left
his mortal coil at the pain of separation from Rama and ascended to the abode
of deities. I am unfortunate, I am the root cause for all the evils in the
family, and still, I am sitting quietly and listening to your talks without any
shame. Even though I found the palace is gloomy without Rama, I have survived
till now proves my inability to practice devotion at the lotus feet of Rama who
is the essence of love, alas! my heart is hungry for stately pleasures and
fame. I have no words to express the impurity of my heart.”
Kaikayi Sua Kutilamathi Rama Bimukha Gathalaja | Thumha Chahath Sukhu
Mohabasa Mohi Se Adhama Ke Raja ||
Kahau Sanchu Sab Suni Pathiahu | Chahia
Dharamaseela Naranahu || Mohi Raju Hadi Dhehahu Jabhi | Rasa Rasathala Jayihi
Thabahi || Mohi Samana Ko Papanivasu | Jehi
Lagi Siyarama Banabasu || Raya Rama Kaha Kananu Dheenha | Bicchurath
Gamanu Amarapura Keenha || Mei Sadu Sab Anarath Kara Hethu | Baita Bath Sab
Sunau Sachethu || Binu Raghubeera Biloki
Abasu | Rahe Prana Sahi Jaga Upahasu || Rama Puneetha Bishaya Rasa Rooke |
Lolupa Bhoomi Bhoga Ke Bhooke || Kaha Lagi Kahau Hridhaya Kadinayi |
Nidhari Kulisu Jehi Lahi Badayi ||
