Chapter - 7– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Vaidhehi meets all three mothers

 

The three mothers, Devi Kausalya, Devi Sumithra and Devi Kaikeyi hurried to their children like the mother cow return home after a long hour of grazing on the woods in the daylight, and rush back to its calf with the udder full of milk dripping on the ground. The compassionate Lord Sri Ramachandra met all the mothers and spoke to them in a pleasant tone, that removed the grief of separation from their beloved sons, soon the entire faces lit up with joy, and the atmosphere filled with smiling faces.

 

Devi Sumithra embraced Lakshman, remembered his love and devotion at the feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and Devi Kaikeyi felt embarrassed while in the embrace of Rama. Lakshman embraced all the mothers and received their blessings, he met Devi Kaikeyi again and again even though his bitterness towards her did not disappear.

 

Devi Vaidhehi greeted all the mothers with due respect and love, she prostrated before them, was transported to a state of bliss. All the mothers enquired about the welfare of Devi Sita and blessed her “May you live long and blissful married life!’ The crowd gazed at the charming appearance of Lord of Raghu, their eyes filled with the tears of love, they received the Lord with the golden tray full of auspicious ingredients and earthen lamp, waving before him to remove the evil eyes on him. Everyone stood gazing at the beauty of Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the symbol of virtue and valor with utmost love and devotion, Devi Kausalya could not take away her eyes from the charming appearance of Rama and absorbed in various thoughts “ The demons must have dreadful and arrogant, my sons are too delicate and tender, how did he kill the King of Lanka of extraordinary might?”
