Chapter – 272– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda– Sage Parashurama overwhelmed by compassion and kindness

 

Sage Parashurama continued “Oh! Rama, my powerful ax has sieved off the head of several wicked Kshatriyas and caused to lose fetus of the Queens, now it is helplessly watching at my enemy, my hands are motionless, the anger pushed me to experience intense pain on my chest, the powerful ax that caused extreme grief to several Kings has become dull. Fate has turned against me, I am experiencing a huge change in me. The feeling of compassion and kindness were unknown to me, today I am experiencing that compassion causes strain and heartache in me.” Lakshman smiled at heart and bowed before the Sage, listening to the compassionate speech of Sage Parashurama. Lakshman spoke “Oh! Mune, the cool breeze of kindness and compassion befitting your charm, the words you have uttered resembles the showers of flowers. Oh! Bhagavan, the compassion and kindness in you will remove all your wrath and discomforts.” Sage Parashurama addressed Janaka “Oh! King, I don’t appreciate the misdemeanor of this prince, kindly keep him away from my sight, otherwise, he will be pushed to his own death.” Lakshmana muttered to himself with a smile “shutting eyes would keep away the sights before you”.

Lakshman laughed at the Sage Parashurama, after listening to his condemning remark, soon Rama throws an angry look at Lakshman to stop his further devious act. Rama put a complete full stop on Lakshmana’s misdemeanor thus restored the peace in the atmosphere and approached Sage Vishwamithra and Sage Parashurama. Rama spoke with folded hands before Sage Parashurama “Oh! Bhagavan, I shall prostrate before you, kindly do not pay attention to the ignorant child, you are wise by nature. The holy men like you do not take the remarks of a child seriously, moreover, he has not committed the mistake on the Bhavachapa, I was the one caused to bend it and broken into two halves, kindly excuse the child before you. Oh! Bhagavan, you can impose any punishment on me as per your wish, I am the culprit, and offender, and kindly understand that I am your sincere servant too. Hence, you can impose whatever punishments I deserved to go through, death or imprisonment as you wish, I shall obey your commands. Oh! Prabho, Oh! Chief of the ascetics, kindly advises me how can I appease your anger, I shall do accordingly.” Sage Parashurama replied sternly “Oh! Rama, how can I get pacified, while your younger brother is throwing a mischievous look upon me. I feel if I did not punish him for his misdemeanor, and sieve off his head, this ax, and my anger will not get appeased.”

Lakshman spoke with a smile “Oh! Mune,  I am your sincere servant, kindly leave your wrath on me, and shower your mercy upon me, passion is the root cause for the sin, the ignorant Jeeva get swayed with it and commits various sinful deeds. Oh! Prabho, your anger cannot bring back the broken Bhavachapa, kindly take a seat, your legs must be aching, if you are too fond of the Bhavachapa, we will find a way to mend it again, so that your peace will get restored.” King Janaka was unhappy with the way Lakshman conversed to the Sage, was frightened, and advised “Oh! Lakshman, kindly be quiet, it is not advisable to speak while the elders are on a discussion, and it is unfair to speak disrespectfully to elders.” The people assembled were alarmed to watch the misdemeanor of the younger prince, the fearless words of Lakshman added fury to Sage Parashurama, his body began to quiver in anger, and soon exhausted. He turned towards Rama and spoke stubbornly “Look, Rama, I know he is your younger brother, though he is fair complexioned, he is full of flaws resembles the golden vessel full of venomous poison.”

Lord of Raghu perceived that the sarcastic comments of Lakshman resembled the ghee added to the blazing fire like the rage of Sage Parashurama, immediately took good control over the situation and spoke amiable words that resembled ice cold to put off the anger in the Sage. Lord Raghu spoke “Oh! Bhagavan, you are compassionate and kind, therefore kindly leave your wrath on this little child who is my younger brother. If he was aware of your prowess, how did he utter ignorant words on you? How could he affront you with the thoughtless words? How could he be so foolish to converse with you?  The parents and preceptors enjoy the amusements of the children, they do not get angry on their thoughtless behavior, kindly shower your mercy on my brother Lakshman, and forgive him considering as a child and a sincere servant of you. Oh! Bhagavan, you are an illustrious ascetic, achieved the highest state of spirituality with your austerities Tapasya and celibacy, you are good-tempered, and forbearing.” Sage Parashurama cooled down a little bit with the soothing words of Lord Rama, but Lakshman did not stop muttering and smiled at the sage, it irked the Sage spoke in fury “Oh! Rama, your brother is deceitful, although he has a fair complexion, he is full of toxic venom in his heart, I did not see the trace of mother’s milk on his lips, other than the deadly poison. He is not subservient, neither consider you as important nor considers me as his death.”

Sage Vishwamithra smiled at heart while speaking to Sage Parashurama who is the son of Sage Gadhi, “Sage Parashurama feels everything looks green to him, the harsh arguments that took place between he and Lakshman resembled powerful sword, not that sugarcane stick, it is pitiful that he did not perceive the supreme Bhramam even after lifelong Thapasya and austerities.” Lakshman spoke “Oh! Mune, does anyone not known your gentle disposition? Your glories are well known to the world, you have sincerely paid off the debt to your parents, the only debt that remains unpaid is the debt to your preceptor Lord Mahadeva, and that is pushing you in extreme anguish. I feel you are burdened with unpaid debts of accumulated interests; I shall repay all your debts on behalf of you.” The ridicule speeches of Lakshman roused anger in the Sage, firmed the grip on the ax, and shrieked at him. Lakshman continued “Oh! Chief of Bhrighu, you are threatening me with your powerful ax, I respect twice-born, I have no ill feelings towards you. Oh! Enemy of Kshatriya, you have not met a valorous Kshathriya in your life, Oh! Bhramin, your self-importance made you grow arrogant.” The crowd of Kings and people assembled opposed the disobedient remarks on illustrious Sage Parashurama, the Lord of Raghu Rama took control over the situation and further stopped Lakshman from arguments with the illustrious Sage Parashurama.

Lakshman continued “Oh! Bhagavan, valiant people perform admirable tasks, engages in the fierce battle and conquer their enemies, but they do not self-praise their fearlessness, it is the cowardness to praise one’s own braveness.” Sage Parashurama firm his hold on the ax and screamed “Oh! Sage Vishwamithra, I command this ignorant Prince to refrain from further arguments, he is recklessly driving himself to the mouth of death. If anything happens, do not blame me for that, this sharp-tongued prince deserves death. I was leaving him thinking of his tender age, but he has crossed all the limits, hence death is the only punishment for his misdemeanor.” Sage Vishwamithra replied amiably “Oh! Mune, kind pardon his mistakes, saintly people do not take seriously about the good or bad in the children.” Sage Parashurama continued in anger “Oh! Sage Vishwamithra, I am pitiless and furious-natured as my powerful ax, he is an offender who committed grave sin to my preceptor Lord Mahadeva, hence he deserved to be punished. He has been stern and misbehaving all the while, I have considered him as a child and taken it lightly because of my regards to you. Otherwise, I would have taken away his life with my powerful ax, and settled his misdemeanor to my preceptor Lord Mahadeva.”

Lakshman continued “Oh! Mune, if I did put your bow and arrows, and ax into shame, kindly pardon me, it was not intentional.” Sage Parashurama after listening to the sharp words Lakshman, began to speak furiously “Oh! Vihwamithra, have you noticed how arrogant his speeches are, he is driving himself to the mouth of death, and bringing destruction to his entire clan? He is completely unruly and reckless as the dark spot in the moon like the Surya dynasty. If he did not stop his harsh speech, surely, he will be pushed to the mouth of death, and I shall pronounce no one should blame me for that, hence protect him and introduce my glory, fury, and prowess to him.” Lakshman spoke “Oh! Bhagavan, how long you will be speaking highly about your splendors? You have glorified yourself more than once with your own tongue, if you want to say it more loudly, I shall listen to it, so that your anger will not devour you. Oh! Mune, you have portrayed yourself as the unconquerable and incomparable hero of the age, it will not add glory to you.”
