Chapter - 11– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The city of Ayodhya prepares to host the grand coronation ceremony of Rama

 

Sage Vashishta summoned the chief of ministers Sumanthra, and ordered him to be ready with the chariots, elephants, and horses, decorated to participate in the grand coronation ceremony of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Sumanthra ordered his men to deliver the auspicious messages to the neighboring countries, and send them with the pleasant gifts, and he returned to Sage Vashishta and prostrated before him.


Avadhapuri was decorated like a newlywed, the whole city was adorned in gems, pearls, ornaments, flags, banners, etc. the deities continuously showered flowers in delight. Lord Rama called out for his attendants and arranged for the bathing of all his comrades who had returned from the vicious battle. Soon, all the Vanaras assumed the form of charming humans rushed to have bath along with Sugrivah, then the merciful Lord Rama called for Bharatha, and removed his matted hair locks with his own hands. The compassionate Lord who is fond of his devotees gave a bath to his three brothers with his own hands. The fortune of Bharatha and the graciousness of Lord Sri Ramachandra was beyond perception, even the thousand tongued Adhishesha could not describe them. Then, Lord Raghu after receiving permission from Sage Vashishta and Vamadeva removed his matted hair locks and went to have a bath. After the ceremonial bath, Lord of Raghu attired in majestic yellow silk adorned in various auspicious ornaments all over the body,  the beauty of the Lord put shame to several Manmathas.
