for what offense has he asked you

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Rama with joined palms cheerfully bowed his head at his mother's feet, she blessed him and clasped him to her bosom, a mother with tears of affection in her eyes thrilled with joy, seated him in her lap, pressed him once more to her breast, asked,

Tell me, dear child, I beseech you, when will be that delightful auspicious hour, Said the Rama, Father has bestowed on me the kingdom of the forest, where there will be great opportunities for me in every way, grant me leave with a cheerful heart, so that my journey to the forest may be attended with joy and blessing,

Be not obsessed with erroneous tears due to affection, dear mother, by your goodwill I shall be ever happy, spending four years and ten in the forest, and having obeyed my father's command I will come back and behold your feet again, be not said at heart, 

The words of Rama pierced the heart of Mother, the agony of her heart was beyond description, Mother spoke in faltering accents, my boy, you are dear to me as life as your father, the king has got an auspicious day fixed for installing you as prince regent, for what offense has he asked you to proceed to the woods, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, pleasew 

moon rain sparks of fire

 Jai Sri Ram,

When everything was ready, God upset the whole plan, and people abused Kaikeyi in varying forms, a wicked woman set fire to the house with her own hand, 

What is there that fire cannot consume, what is there that cannot be engulfed by the ocean, what is there that a powerful woman, cannot accomplish, what creature is there in this perishable world, that death cannot devour,

Having first ordained one thing the creator has now ordained the reverse of it, sooner shall the moon rain sparks of fire or nectar have the same effect as a poison than Bharat ever dream of doing anything prejudiced to the interest of Rama,

Some blamed the creator, who had offered nectar but given poison, Will Sita forgo the company of Rama or Laxman chose to stay at home, will Bharat enjoy the sovereignty,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

enemy of pathos

 Jai Sri Ram,

Blessed is the birth on the surface of this earth, whose father rejoiced to hear of his doings, he has all the four rewards of life, to whom his parents are dear as life, 

After carrying out your order and having obtained the reward of my life I shall come back soon, therefore be pleased to command me, in the meantime I shall ask leave of Mother Kaushalya and return forthwith, 

Then I shall proceed to the woods after throwing myself once more at your lotus feet, so spoke Sri Rama and then departed, the king was overpowered by the grief beyond words and the most unwelcomed news spread like wildfire, 

People were distressed, whosoever heard it beat his head wherever he happened to be, grief was too great to be borne, mouths were parched, eyes streamed and their hearing could not contain their sorrow, as if the enemy of pathos pitched camp at Ayodhya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please  

deliberate words

 Jai Sri Ram,

Let worldwide disrepute be my lot and let my good name parish, I would be damned to perdition and forgo heaven, subject me to all severe hardship, but let not Rama be screened from my view,

The king then prayed within his heart but did not open his lips, his mind quivered like an aspen leaf, perceiving that his father was overpowered with affection, and apprehending that Mother Kaikeyi might utter something again, 

Rama spoke with due deliberate words, which were not only humble but also suited the place, time, and circumstances, dear father, I make bold to submit something, pray to forgive me, that I am not yet tender age, 

You have suffered for most trilling matter and the pity of it is that nobody apprized me of it before, when I saw I asked Mother Kaikayi, and was consoled to hear what she has told me,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

sense of propriety and filial affection

 Jai Sri Ram,

The King's spell of unconsciousness now left him, he remembered Rama and then changed sides, Sumantra informed him about the arrival of Rama, made a humble submission to him, 

Hearing the arrival of Rama, the king recovered himself, overwhelmed King clasped him to his bosom, overpowered with grief he could not utter a word, and pressed Rama once more to his heart,

Invoking lord Shiva he solicited himself, saying, hear my prayer, O blissful Lord, quickly pleased and indiscreetly as you are, pray to relieve my affliction knowing me to be in distress, 

Dwelling as you do in the heart of all as the promoter of actions, so inspire Rama that he may flout my word and stay at the home casting to the wind all sense of propriety and filial affection, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

confluence with the holy Ganga

 Jai Sri Ram,

Kaikayi unhesitatingly spoke these pungent words, which callousness itself was sorely distressed to hear, having communicated the whole incident to Rama, she sat like the very incarnation of heartlessness, 

Sri Rama smiled within himself and said, listen, mother, that son is blessed, who is devoted to the words of his parents, a son who gratifies his father and mother is rare in this world, in the forest, I shall get more frequent opportunities of meeting hermits,

Bharat is dear to me as my life will get sovereignty, and god is propitious to me, if I refuse to proceed to the woods, should be counted foremost in an assembly of fools, I must have committed some great offense which prevents the king from speaking to me, I adjure you, to tell me the truth,

The queen rejoiced to find Sri Rama inclined toward her proposal, and said with a false show of affection, I swear by yourself and Bharat that no other cause of king's affliction known to me, all the words from his stepmother sounded pleasant to Rama as all kinds of water are hallowed through their confluence with the holy Ganga,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

rid him of severe mental torture

 Jai Sri Ram,

His lips got parched and his whole frame burned, looked helpless bereft of his pristine wealth, and Lord beheld by the side of his father angry Kaikeyi, who stood like a death personified, Rama saw the sorrow for the first time, never heard of it before, 

Yet, recovering himself as the occasion demanded, addressed his mother Kaikeyi, tell me dear mother, the cause of my father's distress, so that an attempt may be made to remove it, 

Said Kaikayi, Listen, Rama, the sole cause is this, the king is very fond of you, he had promised me two boons of my choice and I asked for whatever I Liked, the king, however, was stricken with grief to hear my request, for he cannot shake off the hesitation on your score,

With a love for his son on one side, and his plighted words on the other, the king is placed on the horns of a dilemma, obey his command if you can, and rid him of severe mental torture,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
