Chapter
– 217– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– The villagers felt fortunate to
meet Bharatha and Shathrughna
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “ Oh! Mune, whoever
witnessed Bharatha, Shathrughna along with the people of Ayodhya journeying
through the dense wood felt the auspicious Prayaga made its way to the forest
for their easy reach, for the people Simhala. Bharatha kept walking through the
pathways contemplating upon Rama, listening to the praise of the people about
him and Rama. He took bath in all the holy rivers on their way, prostrated
before the shrines and hermitages on his way, with a single request of a boon to achieve
pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Rama. Whoever he met with, be it
Kola, Kiratha, hermit, disciple, people practicing austerities, Bharatha
offered salutations to them and enquired the whereabouts of Rama, Lakshman and
Devi Sita, in return they detailed the journey of Rama, Lakshman along with
Devi Sita, and felt that they have achieved the reward of life meeting Bharatha. The
people who met Bharatha in the woods were considered Rama and Lakshman as dear
as their lives, hence they spoke in a sweet accent to the pleasant inquiries of
Bharatha.”
Bharatha Dharasu Dhekhatha Khuleau
Maga Loganha Kar Bhagu | Janu Sindhalabasinha Bhayau Bidhi
Basa Sulabha Prayagu ||
Nijaguna Sahitha Rama Guna Gatha | Sunatha
Jahi Sumiratha Raghunatha || Theeratha Muni Ashrama Suradhama| Nirakhi Nimajjahi
Karahi Pranama || Manahi Man Magahi Baru Yehu | Siyarama Padha Padhuma Sanehu
|| Milahi Kiratha Kola Banabasi |
Baikhanasa Badu Jathi Udhasi || Kari Pranamu Poocchahi Jehi Thehi | Kehi Bana
Lakhanu Ramu Baidhehi || The Prabhu Samachara Sab Kahahi | Bharathahi Dhekhi
Janama Phalu Lahahi || Je Jana Kahahi Kusala Hama Dhekhe | The Priya Rama
Lakhana Sama Lekhe || Yehi Bidhi
Boojjatha Sabahi Subani | Sunatha Rama Banabasa Kahani ||
