Chapter – 260– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha realizes that his welfare and goodness lies in sincerely following the instructions of Rama

 

The preceptor of the deities Sage Bhrihaspathi spoke “Oh! Deities, Good luck to all of you. The devotion at the lotus feet of Bharatha is the source of all the auspiciousness. The service at the lotus feet of Lord Sitapathi is as propitious as service to hundreds of Kamadhenu/the wish-fulfilling divine cow. You have chosen to worship the devotee of Lord Rama; therefore, your tasks will get accomplished without any doubt. Oh! Lord Indra, the Lord of Raghu is highly pleased with the pure love and devotion of Bharatha, hence he is most favorable to Bharatha, always remember that Bharatha is the shadow of Rama, hence the worship of Bharath would remove all your anxiousness and fear.” The Lord of Raghu who is the Paramathma Parambhramam, knower of all perceived that the deities and Sage Bhrihaspathi are uneasy, eventually, Rama felt uncomfortable watching the suffering of the deities. Now Bharatha felt that all the responsibilities all on his shoulder, though he was planned to entrust all those to his elder brother, finally he made up his mind that his goodness and welfare is vested in following the orders of Rama who is strict to his vows, he once again remembered with tears Rama has shown so much of kindness and love to his brothers.
