Bharatha, delight of Kaikeyi, began
to speak to the valorous Rama, his elder brother by holding hands together
above his head, “Oh! Rama, you have followed my mother’s words respectfully and
provided me the Kingdom of Ayodhya, in the same way I am returning it to
you. I cannot carry the burden anymore,
like a young ox could not sustain the load, which was carried by a bull. The weak points in an administration of a
kingdom are difficult to be controlled, like a broken dam with water seeping
through its cracks. Oh!
Arindhama,/destroyer of enemies, Rama, I am not capable to follow you and it
would be like a donkey follow the rush of a horse, or like a crow take up the
chase for a wild goose. Oh! Mahabhaho,
Rama, it is like a tree planted in the backyard, grown big with its leaves and
branches, flowers and fruits, would yield its results to whom planted the same,
therefore the same logic is applicable to you too. You can understand its meaning; you are the
Master capable to rule over the servants.
Oh! Raghava, let the whole world witness your coronation ceremony, when
the sun glowing with its splendor in the hours of noon. You may relax now and wake up to the divine
sounds of the musical instruments, and the tinkling sounds of ornaments worn on
the waists and anklets along with the melodious music. Look after the Lordship of the world as long
as the world exists and the planets revolve around it.” Rama, who conquered the cities of enemies,
