Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ayodhya Kanda – Bharatha conducted practicing austerities and penance in Nandigram

 


Chapter – 317– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha conducted practicing austerities and penance in Nandigram

 

Bharatha after obtaining permission from preceptors, called out for astrologers and found an auspicious day, and installed the Ramapadhuka/ on the throne of Ayodhya. Further, he received permission from Devi Kausalya and preceptors, prostrated before the RamaPadhuka.  Bharatha who is the essence of love and devotion, took a leave to Nandhigrama where he wanted to conduct strict austerities and penances. Bharatha erected a Parnnashala/hermitage/hut made of leaves and bark of trees in Nandhigrama, abandoned the royal costume, attired in a saffron robe, adorned in prayer beads, and matted hair locks, the Kushagrass spread as a bed on the pit down from the ground level, abandoned all the ornaments, and wooden sandal, practiced extreme austerities and vows. Lord Indra envied the wealth and richness of the Kingdom of Ayodhya, King Dhasharatha has possessed immense wealth that excelled Lord Kubera. In that glorious city of Ayodhya  Bharatha has dwelt as an indifferent bee in the garden of Champaka flowers. Whoever devoted at the lotus feet of Rama would discard the worldly enjoyments, sensual pleasures, and interest in material matters of trivial and impermanent nature as a vomit.
