Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Rama's meeting with Bharatha

 

Chapter - 6– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Rama's meeting with  Bharatha

 

The lotus-like eyes of Prabhu Sri Ramachandra drenched in tears, bodily hairs stood upright in extreme joy, he embraced Bharatha repeatedly, thus the Lord of the three worlds remained in the embrace of his brothers. I have no words to eulogize the expression of the feelings of all four brothers, resembled the essence of emotions personified as Rama enquired the welfare of Bharatha, but the words stuck on his throat, choked to speak out, the words did not come to help him. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, the bliss personified as Bharatha was beyond speech and thought, and it can be understood only for those who feel at that moment.” Bharatha spoke in tears “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Lord of Kosala, all is well at the grace of you, and you have taken me in hand realizing that I was sinking in the ocean of grief of separation from you, Oh! Prabho, you are the savior of the distressed souls.”

Lord Rama embraced Shathrughna, then Lakshman moved to Bharatha and Shathrughna, thus the four brothers drenched in tears remained in the embrace of each other for a while and got relieved from the pain of separation. The people of Ayodhya regained a great enthusiasm at the mere sight of Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita and Lakshman, all their distress, and grief of separation from the Lord disappeared instantly, eventually all the people soaked in merriment. The Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra watching the pure love and devotion of the people, assumed infinite forms and met each one of them individually, and comforted them in an appropriate manner. He removed the distress and pain of separation of the people with his compassionate look, Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, it is mysterious and none could comprehend, the benevolent Lord who is the repository of virtues, kindness, removed the grief of the people instantly with his loving grace on them.” Devi Kausalya and all the mothers hurried to meet the Lord Sri Ramachandra, Devi Sita and Lakshman, like the mother cow rushes towards her calf immediately after she gets home after grazing a long day on the field.
