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.
