Chapter – 209– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– The devotion and pure love of Bharatha at the lotus feet of Rama made his journey more comfortable

 

Bharatha felt he was arrested in a cage of affluence like a female bird of Chakravaha, provided by the affectionate sage Bharadhwaja, that night was spend at the command of Sage and waited for the early dawn. Bharatha and the people of Ayodhya, took a holy dip in the Triveni/confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswathi, and reverentially prostrated at the lotus feet of Sage Bharadhwaja, and received an abundance of blessings and instructions from the Sage. Bharatha was accompanied by experienced guides, thus the people of Ayodhya proceeded to Chitrakoot. Bharatha walked beside Guha, holding hand in hand, looked like the incarnation of love. The entire day’s journey was conducted barefooted without any umbrellas, walking on the rough pathways, watching Bharatha’s devotion and endurance, the Sages and Rishis abundantly praised his austerities, self-discipline, love for Rama as genuine. Bharatha kept enquiring about Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Sita to Guha, and he was pouring out the details of the journey of Rama to the woods in a sweet accent. Guha showed the places and trees where Rama took shelter and halted on his way to the forest, Bharatha could not suppress his grief, the deities showered flowers watching the pure love and devotion of Bharatha at the lotus feet of Rama, soon the pathways became approachable with soil and green.
