Chapter – 221– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Lakshman suspects the arrival of Bharatha and Shathrughna with the four-fold army

 

Lakshman spoke “Oh! Prabho, you are truthful, wise, the storehouse of virtues, and the ocean of mercy, hence you easily love and trust everyone, get pleased with everyone, and consider them as an inseparable part of you. The dull-minded Jeeva, gets drenched in Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathshcharya, chase after material pleasures richness, wealth, possession, fame, money, children, wife, companion and relatives, etc. forgetting the nature of ‘self’/Athma is Paramathma. Bharatha is righteous, truthful, virtuous, and the whole world knows the pure love and devotion of Bharatha at your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, you are the legal hire to the throne, but Bharatha has attained the status of the King of Ayodhya now, that might have changed the righteousness in him, and you are alone in the forest, he might have thought of taking advantage of the situation while you are all alone in the forest, he must have structured some evil plans to harm you to confirm his status as the King of Ayodya, that was the reason the two brothers have brought a four-fold army to the forest. If not, why should they bring chariots, horses, elephants, and the army of men? Why should I blame Bharatha? it is quite natural that the people who achieve immense fame and might would turn aggressive and arrogant.”
