RAM CHARIT MANAS - 03

Here i would like to refer the story of exile of Ram and dialouge between Kaikeyee and Ram that shows the great and unique character of Ram in the circumstances that one day earlier he was told that he will be enthroned as king of Ayodhya that was his right but the next morning he was asked to go to forest for fourteen long years in accordance to obey his father .
'' having communicated the whole incident to Ram Kaikeyee sat like the very incarnation of heartlessness . the son of Solar dynasty Shri Ram foundation of joy by nature smiled within himself and spoke words which were very free from all blemish and were so sweet and agreeable that they seemed to be the very ornament of speech - ; listen ! mother , that son alone is blessed who is devoted to the words of his parents is rare in this world .
In the forest I shall get more frequent opportunity of meeting great hermits that would be beneficial to me by all means but more over on the top of it , I would be fulfilling the command of my father and sweet desire of yours'
To add again the most loving to me , my brother Bharat will rule the country (as more deserving and competent because the crown was given to me as I was elder as the right ) ** Ram has earlier said that this system was a bad precedent in dynasty and the ruler should be as according to merit not being elder.
If I do not go to forest and avail this opportunity history will call me worst-fool among fools and a person who selected caster-oil tree than to divine -tree(kalptaru ) and preferred poison than to nectar (amrit ).
This (Exile ) is , I think ,not the reason as very common and I fear I have committed some serious mistake , that my father does not want to disclose
** English version of Hindi original text given below from RAM charit Manas .
सब प्रसंगु रघुपतिहि सुनाई। बैठि मनहुँ तनु धरि निठुराई।।
मन मुसकाइ भानुकुल भानु। रामु सहज आनंद निधानू।।
बोले बचन बिगत सब दूषन। मृदु मंजुल जनु बाग बिभूषन।।
सुनु जननी सोइ सुतु बड़भागी। जो पितु मातु बचन अनुरागी।।
तनय मातु पितु तोषनिहारा। दुर्लभ जननि सकल संसारा।।
दो0-मुनिगन मिलनु बिसेषि बन सबहि भाँति हित मोर।
तेहि महँ पितु आयसु बहुरि संमत जननी तोर।।41।।
–*–*–
भरत प्रानप्रिय पावहिं राजू। बिधि सब बिधि मोहि सनमुख आजु।
जों न जाउँ बन ऐसेहु काजा। प्रथम गनिअ मोहि मूढ़ समाजा।।
सेवहिं अरँडु कलपतरु त्यागी। परिहरि अमृत लेहिं बिषु मागी।।
तेउ न पाइ अस समउ चुकाहीं। देखु बिचारि मातु मन माहीं।।
अंब एक दुखु मोहि बिसेषी। निपट बिकल नरनायकु देखी।।
थोरिहिं बात पितहि दुख भारी। होति प्रतीति न मोहि महतारी।।
राउ धीर गुन उदधि अगाधू। भा मोहि ते कछु बड़ अपराधू।।
Again when Sage Valmiki expressed sadness at what happened with him in Ayodhya see what Ram said to him . -- '' I could obey the words of father did welfare of my mother Kaikeyee and my brother deserving to throne got crown and moreover the meeting with you good great people , this all I THINK ; is the effect of my good - doings (Earned Good ) -ibid .
दो0-तात बचन पुनि मातु हित भाइ भरत अस राउ।
मो कहुँ दरस तुम्हार प्रभु सबु मम पुन्य प्रभाउ।।125।।
so great and grand character is of Shri Ram and this is only one instance read many , read RAM CHARIT MANAS .
