Chapter – 177 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– The entire assembly praises Bharatha for his devotion at the lotus feet of Rama

 

Bharatha spoke “Oh! Mahatma, although I have been born to a wicked mother, and consider myself as evil and deceitful as my mother responsible for all the troubles, I am confident that the Lord of Raghu Rama will not abandon me.” All those ministers, preceptors, prominent members in the Kingdom assembled in the huge Hall were overwhelmed with various emotions at the pure love and devotion of Bharatha. The people who had been burning with the pain of separation from Rama assumed the innocent and wise words of Bharatha as Beejamanthra/sacred syllables.  The members of the assembly, mothers, and preceptors praised Bharatha for his pure love and sincere devotion to Rama “Oh! Beloved son, you are the embodiment of devotion and pure love at the lotus feet of Rama/Bhakti, you are dear as life to Rama, hence it is not surprising that you have spoken such a marvelous word revealing your devotion to Rama. Oh! Dear son, the ignorant may suspect you because of your mother’s crookedness. Oh! Son, whoever blame you for the adversities that taken place in the Kingdom of Ayodhya would reap the hellish torture for hundreds of Kalpa, with their several generations. The gem on the forehead of a snake is not impure as it was carried by the venomous serpent, in fact, the gem is capable to remove the poison and destroy the burns into ashes.”
