laxmana your father is dead

[Guest guest]

Another interesting scene from kamba Ramayana.

 

Bharatha comes to rama and says that dasaratha is dead.Laxmana

doesnt know this.He is angry at Rama recieving Bharatha.So he stands

away.Rama is crying after he hears the news.Laxmana comes to see why

Rama is crying.Then Kambar says "Oh,Laxmana your father is dead."

 

Kambar did not explain why Rama said "your father" to

laxmana.Isnt dasartatha father of Rama too?

 

Mukkur Laxmi Narashimachariyar gives a beautiful

explanation to this.Ramas father wasnt dead.When rama came to forest

Laxmana took the fathers responsibility of guarding rama.He never

seperated from rama.So Rama did not miss his father.

 

Bharatha had accepted Rama as his father long back.So he

too had a father.Sathrukana has accepted Bharatha s his father long

back.So among all four brothers only Laxmana had dasaratha as

father.So Ram said "Laxmana your father is dead".

 

It seems kambar's every line is filled with 1000 meanings.
