Chapter - 9– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara
Kanda – The pure love and devotion of the people of Ayodhya
The host of Vanaras assumed in charming
human forms prostrated before Devi Kausalya and received her blessings “All of
you are dear as Lord Raghu to me”. The deities showered flowers, the entire Kingdom
was brimming with joy, several people thronged to have a glimpse of Lord Sri
Ramachandra and Devi Vaidhehi. All the houses in the village were decorated
with the Poornakumbha/golden pitcher containing auspicious ingredients, coconut,
haldhi, rice, etc. to receive the Lord, the houses were decorated with various
ornaments, banners, flags, and earthen lamps. All the streets of Ayodhya were
sprinkled with the scented water, and decorated with various ornaments and
pearls, the city has reverberated with the sounds of kettledrums and several
auspicious instruments. The beautiful ladies holding the tray full of sacred ingredients
greeted the Lord reverentially, and scattered the valuable gems in praise of the Lord, with their hearts full of joy. Ladies sang auspicious songs, holding the
tray full of Mangaladhravya, and earthen lamp waved at the Lord who is the
dispeller of grief, and agony of worldly existence, and source of perpetual
bliss to the Jeeva, like the sun rays to the blossom like the clan of Raghu. The splendor and the richness, wealth of the Kingdom
of Ayodhya were eulogized by Veda and scriptures, Devi Sarada, and thousand
tongued Adhishesha. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, Devi Sarada,
Adhishesha, and Veda were astounded to watch the magnificence of the Kingdom of
Ayodhya, and the splendor of Rama, so how can the mortal recount the virtues of
that Lord?”
