Dhasharatha
Rama was quiet while the departure of Bhargava Rama, later the divine bow of
Lord Vishnu was given to Lord Varuna.
Ragunandan reverentially greeted all the Sage Vashishta, assembled Sages
and began to speak to his father Dhasharatha “
Rama of Jamadhagni has gone, you are the Lord of the land, you may order
the Chathurangasena/warriors to proceed to Kingdom of Ayodhya.” King Dhasharatha was extremely happy at the
words of Rama; he affectionately embraced Raghava and kissed on his forehead. Listening to the soothing words of Rama about
the departure of Bhargava Rama forever, King Dhasharatha considered as it was
rebirth of his sons. Finally, King Dhasharatha followed by numerous
warriors arrived on the pathways to the glorious city of Ayodhya, which was
embellished with flowers and various decoratives, reverberating with the divine
music. The people of the city was in a
state of ecstacy, prepared to welcome the newly wedded couple and their
families with various alluring fresh flowers, fragrances, camphor, vermillion
etc…Finally, King Dhasharatha delightfully entered in the glorious well
decorated path ways, followed by huge crowd.
As the enormous crowd was delightfully witnessing, illustrious King
Dhasharatha like the King Himavantha entered to the palace followed by his
sons. In the palace King Dhasharatha was
overjoyed, surrounded by the Kings of other provinces, while Kousalya, Sumithra
and Kaikeyi were gleefully receiving their brides. The womenfolk were received the propitious
bride Sita, highly fortunate Urmila and Mandavi and Shruthakirthi, daughters of
Kushadhvaja in a grand manner. All the
bride and bridegrooms were attired in majestic clothes engaged in the worship
of deities in the sanctum followed by the Vedic chants; they had the
resemblance of the ritual fire. The
princesses were reverentially paid obeisance to the elders and respectable
people in the family; eventually they followed their husbands to the grand
palace chambers.
Rama,
Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shathrugna who are well versed in the usage of armaments
occupied themselves in the welfare of their Kingdom, assisted their father in
the ruling of the Kingdom and looked after the welfare of its people. King Dhasharatha spoke to Bharatha, son of
Kaikeyi, “Your maternal uncle Yudhajith, son of King of Kaikeya came here to
take you to his province, you may follow your uncle at the earliest.” and King
Dhasharatha bade farewell to Bharatha and Shathrugna. Bharatha who is virtuous and valorous,
reverentially greeted his father, Rama, mother Kaikeyi, Sumithra and Kousalya
and proceeded his journey along with Shathrugna to Keykeya province. The valiant King Yudhajith, delight of King
of Keykeya, was extremely happy, journeyed with Bharatha and Shathrugna to his
Kingdom. Rama and Lakshmana immersed in
the assistance of his father in ruling the ideal Kingdom, Rama undertook various
welfare activities of the people of Ayodhya at the guidance and direction of
his father, engaged in pleasing activities with his mothers, immersed in
educational activities with his preceptors, and review them time to time. Rama undertook various welfare activities
with utmost honesty and virtue like Lord Brahma, which pleased King
Dhasharatha, Brahmins and the subjects of Ayodhya. Likewise, Rama whose heart was vested with
Sita vice versa, he blissfully sported with her many years. Sita became most beloved to Rama by her virtues
and loveliness, and Rama was an ideal husband to her took place twice fold in her
heart; they were the idyllic couple who converse their thoughts by their
hearts. Sita/Maithili, who is the
personification of goddess and daughter of King Janaka, is the delight of Rama
who is the son of Rajarishi/King Dhasharatha, shone like the supreme Lord Vishnu
with Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
