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.”
