Chapter
– 225– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Lord Rama praising the virtues
of Bharatha
Rama
spoke “Oh! Lakshman, listen to me carefully, Bharatha would never get
intoxicated with the newly attained status of King of Ayodhya, even if he
attains the status of Lord Bhrama, Vishnu, or Shiva. Oh! Brother, how could a
few drops of a sour and savory drink spoil the entire ocean? Oh! Dear Brother,
the darkness may swallow the sunlight, the heaven may get absorbed by the cloud,
Sage Agasthya/Kumbaja who dried up the ocean in one gulp may get drowned in the
water collected in the hooves of cows, the Mother Earth who is well known for
her endurance may give up her patience, the golden mountain Meru may get puffed
off in the windblown from the mouth of the mosquito, but Bharatha will not get
intoxicated by the Kingly duties. Oh! Lakshman, I promise you upon our father,
that no brother is virtuous and innocent as Bharatha in this world. Oh! Dear
brother, the Universe is created with the goodness of milk and evilness of
water, and Bharatha is the Swan who skillfully separates evilness from goodness. Bharatha is the swan born in the illustrious clan of Raghu's, he has chosen
goodness of milk from the evilness of water, thus he has illuminated the
Universe with his glory.” Further, Lord of Raghu transported to the state of
bliss while praising the virtues, amiability, kindness, devotion of Bharatha.
Bharathahi Hoyi Na Rajamadhu Bidhi Hari Harapadha Payi | Kabahu
Ki Kaji Seekarani Ccheerasindhu Binasayi ||
Thimiru Tharuna Tharanihi Maku Gilayi |
Gaganu Magana Maku Meghahi Milayi || Gopadha Jala Boodahi Ghatajoni | Sahaja
Chama Baru Chadai Cchoni || Masaka Phooka Maku Meru Udayi | Hoyi Na Nripamadhu Bharathahi Bhayi || Lakhana
Thumhara Sapatha Pithu Aana |
SuchiSubandhu Nahi Bharatha Samana || Sagunu Kheeru Avaguna Jalu Thatha |
Milayi Rachayi Parapanchu Bidhatha || Bharathu Hamsa Rabibamsa Thadaga | Janami
Keenha Gunadhosha Bibhaga || Gahi Guna Patha Thaji Avaguna Bari | Nija
Jasa Jagatha Keenhi Ujiari || Kahatha
Bharatha Gunaseelu Subhau | Pema Payodhi Magana Ragurau ||
