Chapter – 213– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Sage Bhrihaspathi pacifies Lord Indra – Bharatha shedding tears of grief watching the dark water currents of Yamuna

 

Sage Bhrihaspathi spoke “Oh! Lord Indra, Lord Rama’s devotees are kind and compassionate, always wish for the welfare and happiness of others, Bharatha is the Chinthamani/precious gem among the devotees of Lord Rama, therefore do not get afraid of Bharatha. Lord Rama is truthful and keeps up his promise to his devotees and deities. Bharatha sincerely follows the command of Rama, you are dominated by your self-interest, that’s why you are feeling uneasy. Bharatha should not be blamed for your self-interest, it is your ignorance causing grief and anxiousness to you.” The King of deities, Lord Indra overjoyed listening to the nectar-like words of Sage Bhrihaspathi, soon got rid of anxiousness and grief. The celestials and deities praised the devotion of Bharatha and rained flowers. Bharatha proceeded to wood spreading extreme delight and devotion, the Sidhdhas, Rishis, and Sages envied watching the love and devotion of Bharatha at the lotus feet of Rama. Whenever Bharatha whispered the word ‘Rama’ and relieved the sigh of grief, it was felt like the rush of love from the ten directions. Even the firm-minded and rocks melted watching the love of Bharatha for his beloved brother, the love of the people who followed Bharatha was beyond description. Finally, they halted on the riverbank of Yamuna, Bharatha stood watching the dark-colored water currents of Yamuna, his eyes filled with tears remembering the attractive dark cloud-complexioned limbs of Rama.
