Chapter – 277– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kausalya expresses her concern about Bharatha

 

Devi Kausalya spoke with a deep sigh “If Lakshman, Rama, and Devi Sita continue to stay in the forest, everything would be good at the end, but all I am worried about Bharatha in the absence of Rama. Oh! Devi, with your grace my four sons and daughters-in-law, are pure as sacred Ganga, I have never sworn over Rama, today I have to open up my heart before you all, I shall tell you the truth, Bharatha’s virtue, amiability, uprightness, modestly, affection and love, devotion and faith, and nobility are beyond words and comparison, even Devi Sarada who is the Goddess of speech would find it difficult to describe. The ocean does not get over-burdened with oyster shells, I have always noticed Bharatha’s virtue and modesty, and I was very certain that one day he will add glory to the clan, even the King has repeatedly expressed his admiration on Bharatha’s agreeable disposition, gold is tested on rubbing the stones, likewise the virtue of a person tested in the difficult circumstances. It was unfair from me to speak all these on this occasion, but sorrow and affection deter a person from what to speak and whatnot.” All the queens were overwhelmed in great affection listening to the wise words of Devi Kausalya resembled pure like the celestial river/Surasari/Devanadhi Ganga.
