Raghuveera Gadhyam: Yuddha Khaandham --Part 14

[Guest guest]

GS 74 : pratijnArNava taraNa krutha kshaNa Bharatha

manOratha samhita simhAsanAdhiroota ! Jaya ! Jaya !

 

(Meaning ) : O Lord who ascended the throne of AyodhyA

and celebrated your coronation ceremonies and thus fulfilled the

deep wish of Bharatha , who had made a vow earlier to enter the fire

to immolate himself , had you not returned from your exile to

sit on the throne of the Raghus ! Hail to Thee ! Hail to Thee !

 

(Comments ) : Bharatha returned to Nandigramam with

Rama PaadhukhAs , when he failed to persuade Rama to abandon

his exile and return to Ayodhya to succeed King Dasaratha as the

rightful heir to the throne of Raghus . At that time , BharathA made a vow that

he will immolate himself in fire , if Rama did not return to Ayodhya at the end

 

of his exile of 14 years in the forest . On the last day of the fourteenth year

,

he was all set to enter the fire , when Rama 's messenger (Hanumaan )

rushed to his side to tell Bharatha that his brother was speeding in

Pushpaka vimAnam to reunite with him . Bharatha was thus saved from

his vow of self-immolation .

 

The brothers were united and the coronnation ( PattAbhshekam )

was celebrated to the utter delight of Bharatha and others . BharathA's

heart overflowed with joy at the sight of Janaki RAman on the ancient throne

of the Raghus .
