Chapter – 284– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Rama finds it difficult to watch the troubles of two families surviving in the forest

 

King Janaka spoke “ Oh! Devi, Bharatha cannot even dream of overthrow the command of Rama, Oh! Devi, we need not be anxious at all.” King paused for a while searching for words, his voice broken due to affection for Bharatha. Thus, King Janaka and Devi Sunayana spoke about the virtues, amiability, and love of Rama and Bharatha for long hours did not notice the passing of time. At the daybreak, the people of Ayodhya and Mithila proceeded to perform ablutions and worship of the deities. Rama performed the morning rite and met his preceptors Sage Vashishta and Vamadeva, prostrated before them, and began to speak after receiving permission “Oh! Prabho, Bharatha, my mothers, and the people of Ayodhya are grief-stricken, spending days in the woods in limited comfort. The King of Mithila, his family, preceptors, and his people are surviving in the woods for the past few days, are tired of a long journey. Therefore, kindly do whatever feasible to reduce their mental and physical afflictions, the welfare of all lies in your hands.” Rama stood before the preceptors amiably. Sage Vashishta and Vamadeva were highly impressed with the kind disposition of Rama, began to speak “Oh! Rama, without your presence the amenities in the royal palaces are hell for both the families.”
