Chapter – 200– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Sage Bharadhwaja praises the pure love and devotion of Bharatha
Sage Bharadhwaja spoke affectionately “Oh!
Bharatha, do not grieve over the things that happened and the miseries caused by
your mother Devi Kaikeyi, it was not the fault of your mother, Oh! Dear child,
it was Goddess of speech illusioned your mother, no one would accept the fact
If I say so, the wise recognize the worldly opinion and prescribed in the scriptures.
The Veda and the world singing in praise of your glories of pure love and
devotion to Rama. The Veda and the world affirm the fact that the King
Dasaratha bestowed the Kingdom of Ayodhya to you, and whoever King appointed
to the throne should be taken care of the Kingdom and its subjects. The King Dhasharatha
has approved you as the King of Ayodhya, in this way he has achieved the
religious merits, and fulfilled his promise to his wife Devi Kaikeyi, and it
would definitely bring him joy and glories. Even though the root of all evil
was Rama’s exile to the forest, the whole Universe is pained at the news, it
was that fate played its role, and it was the foolishness of Devi Kaikeyi,
therefore she is reaping the fruit of her misdeeds now. Oh! Dear son, whoever blames you for the whole scenario
is ignorant, wicked, and dull-minded. Oh! Dear child, even if you accept the throne
of Ayodhya, none would blame you, in fact, Rama would be happier to know about
it.”
