Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ayodhya Kanda – Bharatha shed tears thinking about Rama and Devi Sita

 


Chapter – 192– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha shed tears thinking about Rama and Devi Sita

 

Guha showed the sacred Shimshupa/Ashoka tree where Rama took shelter during his journey, soon Bharatha reverentially prostrated before the tree and looked at it with great admiration, further he beautifully placed the Kushagrass around the tree and prostrated once again. Bharatha took the dust particles from the footprints of Rama, applied them on forehead and eyes with great love, which was beyond description. Bharatha spotted a few golden beads under the tree, that was reverentially placed on his head as if he was offering salutation to Devi Sita. Bharatha shed tears in extreme grief and spoke solemnly “Oh! Guha, Oh! Brother, see these golden beads have lost their beauty and luster due to the separation from Devi Sita, like the men and women of Ayodhya who have lost their happiness at the separation of this couple. The entire people of Ayodhya have doomed to utter gloominess. Who can live an ascetic life like the illustrious King Janaka, father of Devi Sita? He is the supreme ascetic who considers pleasure and pain as the same, while taking pleasure in the Kingdom, he is neither happy nor sad.  Her father-in-law is the illustrious King Dasaratha who is the Lord of the solar race, even the deities envy his fame and glories. Her beloved Lord is Lord of Raghu's, Rama whose virtues, righteousness, kindness, and compassion are well known in the fourteen spheres.”
