Coronation of Sri Rama Finalisation
Shatrugna who is sinless, one who had won over daily Enemies like Lust and anger, was very dearly taken along by Bharatha who was going to his Maternal Uncle’s home at Kayikeya. Inspite of Yudajihth’s showering with Horses and Dresses and Ornaments Bharatha was living in Kayikeya only because his brother Shatrugna was with him.
Thus these 2 warriors who were living with specially conferred materials and in Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled her Desires) they were wondering in following lines “ Our Father is aged,it may be difficult for him to run the Country. He may decide to coronate our elder brother Sri Rama. At this juncture we should be near him and aiding , serving him, we are thus missing such an opportunity” thus they remembered their Father often. Since Dasaratha who had unmeasurable Tejhas ( shining with dazzling radiance of Aura) had begot Noblest sons, he too was thinking “I am living away from Bharatha & Shatrugna who are inseparable friends like Indra and Varuna. Even though I have all the Wants , I am still feeling the absence of my dear Sons”often.
King Dasaratha had equal love to all his 4 sons as though they were 4 hands of his Body. Still as Brahma Deva(Creator of Universe) who is special to all Living beings, like wise amongst the 4 ,Rama who was invested with Noblest Virtues was more dear to the King Dasaratha.
Eternal Maha Vishnu, was beseeched by Devas(Celestials) to kill the Arrogant Rakshasaa Ravana**(who has been living for 5 Million years(50Lacs) as per Periya puranam) took the Avathar as Rama in this Earth. Like Athithi who borne Indra as her son, likewise Koushalya gave birth to Rama whose effervescence was Dazzling in all directions with Limitless Aura . None other than Kaushalya had borne such a Son in this earth. Rama was Handsomest, Valorous, does not have malice towards anyone, he was akin to Dasaratha in Dressing,Habit, Inghidam (Behaviour and deft handling with tact and diplomacy according to the situations and surroundings). No one will utter harsh words towards him. Even if one does Rama will not reply him. When ever he speaks he speaks softly. He is always Peaceful in his approach, hence anyone at any time had done a slightest favour he thinks big of them and is Happy. Since he is the Soul for all the Universe and had controlled his Mind,even if some one had done innumerable Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour,delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony )Rama does not bother to rememeber them.
Every day after rigorous traning in Missiles , he converses with mature Elders who are well informed by Discipline and Knowledge with Wisdom. He constantly thinks of finding out ways and means by which all people can live in Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled their Desires)., he Speaks pleasantly.

He knew Dharma (Righteous conduct, Duty, Pious, humble,Charity ,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation) to it’s entirety. He had Vowed to protect all Living Beings. He does not desire for other’s materials /credit/wealth /Fame. In accordance to his Dynasty’s qualities Mercy, Compassion, protecting those who seek refuge,punish the wicked observing and adherence of these are the prime responsibility of Kshatriya(Warrior clan) and the firm belief that this will only give Fame ,place in Heaven. Since he is well versed in all aspects of Life, he does not waste time in Cunningness or Gambling etc. he is against Gossipping which are not of Dharma (Righteous conduct, Duty, Pious, humble,Charity ,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation).

He had learned from his teacher properly and strictly adhered to rigid traning schedule and thus achieved proficiency in that knowledge. He has understood the intricacies of Vedas in the rightful manner and assimilated and practices same. He is more skilfull in Archery & Missiles even than his father. His Lineage is pristine pure.
He is the abode of all Good Fortunes and is sinless,He is ardent devout of Vedas.,he is balanced in his thinking. Even in toughest of times speaks the Truth. His thoughts, speech and action are congruent. He has been trained by Brahmins in the path of Dharma (Righteous conduct, Duty, Pious, humble,Charity ,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation). He is exponent on the Dharmic actions to be observed during the day time. He never forgets what he has learnt. Further he has progressive positive attitude. He is adept in Societal requirements. No one can prise into his thnking. He keeps to himself his planning of action till the task is completed which none can infer. He is besotted by the wise Ministers. His Happiness or Anger will not go waste and will have purpose. He is wise in knowing the Timing in doing Charity and the righteous way to earn wealth. He has stern faith and respects for elders and Dieties/Celestials. He is eandearing to those who approeach him.

He has the ability to know the likely result in all undertakings in all matters. By mere glance he has the sagacity to assess other person’s ability and the motive of that person. As per Needhi Sashtra (Rules of empathetic Governance and adheres same staunchly). He believes in accumulating Sadhus(Saintly) and Friends and he has innate ability in himself or sagacious in taking care of them. He also knows when to punish the Guilty after giving them Long rope to reform. Just like the Bees suck the Honey from the Flowers so also Rama was capable of collecting Taxes from his subjects without giving them troube. He knew one can spend 1/4th or ½ or 3/4th of one’s earning; but Expediture should not Exceed the Revenue Income( which we see in most countries as Budget Deficit including USA); these eithics of Rules of Governance he had known well. He was keen in Linguistic research and had interest and was an expert in the fields of Dance Drama, Literature. He believed in enjoying the Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Seetha’s Desires) which were not against the grains of Dharma (Righteous conduct, Duty, Pious, humble,Charity ,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation) or acquisition of Wealth in the Righteous manner. He never let up the enthusiasm in task which need to be completed. He was adept in the art of Drawing,Music and was good at playing various types of Musical instruments. He knew his wealth should be split into 5 parts. He developed good skill in mounting Horses and Elephants. He was amongst the Foremost in the exponents of Archery. He was respected and worshipped by the best in Archery in the world for his Prowess. He had the sagacity to lead his Army in the front onto the Enemy without fear,taking care of his Army’s strength,blast open the enemy formations,and make deep penetration into them,and scuttle the Enemies intent. He was adroit in splitting his own Army into many Divisions and Formations during the war. Even Celestials and Demons can never win over him in battle.
He had forsaken Asooya (Envy, malignity, intolerance. orvalemi.), won over Anger.Does not have Arrogance. He is not jealous of another man getting credit or benefit. Nor does he repugnance other Animals. Despite being adorned by such Noble Virtues, Rama who has the Patience akin to Mother Earth is dear to all the people of the 3 Worlds. His intellect is comparable to Jupiter the Guru of Celestials Was equal to Mahendra (King of Celstials) in PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance,Exploits,Valor, Heroism, Gallantry,Prowess,Ability,Valour).Thus Rama was an embodiment of Virtues who brought happiness not only to his subjects but also his Father and shone like the Sun with 1000 rays. Hence Rama had the capability to protect those who took refuge in him and was like the Generals of the Universe naturally the People wanted him to become the King.
Then Emperor Dasaratha, knowing his Elder son Rama was a Treasure hove of Virtues thought to himself “ My age is catching up, what else do I need to achieve? Making my son King when I am alive will make me the Happiest. Hence I should Coronate Rama and when will I see him as a King? My Son Rama wants to improve the wealth of all those who are already wealthy. He also has compassion towards those have nots and help them. Like the way People love Rain bearing Clouds which quenches their Thirst; similarly they have more special affection for Rama than to me. Further he is comparable in PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance,Exploits,Valor, Heroism, Gallantry,Prowess,Ability,Valour)Yama (the God of Death), Indra the celestial god and sharp like Jupiter in Intellect,and Courageous Like the Himalayas which none can deter or shake him and is full of these Virtues.I am ripe old now , hence I should coronate him and Enjoy that Bliss and thereafter reach Heaven.” Thus King Dasratha decided in his mind.
The above qualities which are rare and not present in most Kings Dasratha decided to consult with his Minsiters and decided to hand over the reigns of Ayodhya to Sri Rama.
He further advocated the reason to his Ministers that the 3 bad Oomens which indicates the King has to relinquish his throne caused by the Old Age including reduction in Physical Strength; hence the urgency in Coronating Rama as the King. Sri Rama whose Face looked like the Full moon alievates the sorrows of all the People and himself and ushers in Happiness. Hence the time has come for the People to be Kshema(well being ,Prosperity,innate happiness reflected in their Living); hence Dasaratha expedited the Coronation of Rama. He sent emissaries to various Kingdoms to invite them for the Coronation. However he did not send emissaries to Kaiykaye and Mythilla as they were far off places and can always be informed later. Some of the Kings from nearby Kingdoms had started arriving.and appropriate accomadations were arranged as per Protocol and accorded Upachaaram –Extend Courtsies-Civilities- vidhipadi –Portocol offered and did civilites of existing in those days with price less Ornments and Dresses.King Dasaratha came and sat on the Throne of the Senate which was occupied by Kings of nearby Kingdoms who looked like as though Celestials have landed there.seated in the Cusine Sofas except the King of Kayikeya and Mythilla. The citizens who were already showered with free bees were eagerly awaiting for his Speech.They came closer to the Throne to hear him more clearly in keeness.Dasratha shone like the Deva indra having PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance, Exploits,Valor, Heroism, Gallantry ,Prowess ,Ability,Valour).(Slokas 51)
