Chapter - 5– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara
Kanda – Rama’s meeting with the Preceptors Sage Vashishta and Vamadeva
The compassionate Lord Sri Ramachandra
witnessed the crowd of people of Ayodhya anxiously waiting to have a glimpse of
Rama, soon the Lord ordered the Pushpakavimana to land closer to the Avadhapuri,
after getting down from the Pushpakavimana, Lord ordered “Now you may return to
Lord Kubera.” Thus the Pushpakavimana took leave with a mixed feeling of joy
and grief.
Baratha who was thin to skeleton due to
constant austerities, and vow, and the people who were accompanied by him were
also emaciated in the grief of separation from Lord Rama, proceed to greet
Rama, as soon as Rama witnessed the preceptors Vashishta and Vamadeva, he dropped
the bow and arrow on the ground, and holding the hand of his younger brother
Lakshman, hurried to the preceptors, and prostrated before them, he clasped the
feet of preceptors, his bodily hairs stood upright in thrill. Sage Vashishta
lifted Rama and Lakshman from the ground, and embraced them affectionately, and
enquired the welfare of all. Rama spoke “Oh! Prabho, it was your grace that ensured
the welfare and safety of us.” Lord of Raghu who is the essence of
righteousness bowed head before all the Bhramins, at that very moment Bharatha
rushed to Lord Rama and fell at the lotus feet of the Lord Sri Ramachandra
which is worshiped by deities, Lord Bhrama, Lord Shambhu, and illustrious Sages
and Rishis, he clasped the feet of the Lord and shed tears of joy, finally, Rama
lifted Bharatha from the ground and
embraced him tightly, both the brothers shed tears and remained in the embrace
for a while overcome, with a mixed feeling.
