Chapter – 179 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Bharatha assigned the duty to safeguard the treasures of the palace to the loyal attendants
The people assembled were voiced “Perish
that family, children, parents, elderly, father, mother, brother, companion who
does not cultivate devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra.” Soon all
the homes were lit up with joy and preparation for the journey, several colorful
vehicles were kept ready to travel, and the people anxiously waited for the
sunrise. Bharatha after returning to his fortress immersed in serious thoughts “The
city, treasures, army, horses, palace, elephants, valuables, etc. everything
belongs to Rama, if I leave it unprotected it will not do good for him, I may
incur the grave sin of dishonesty to my Master, Lord of Raghus. A sincere
servant should serve the master with utmost honesty for the welfare of the
Master, hence no matter if anyone speaks ill about me.” Soon Bharatha summoned
the sincere servants of the palace who never dreamt of flinch from duty, and
discussed the most important details of the treasures and possessions of the
Kingdom, and taught them how to protect them without causing any harm to it.
Bharatha entrusted all the duties to the loyal servants of the Kingdom and went
to meet mother Kausalya.
