Bharatha’s Dream
Bharatha saw a bad Deram early morning before dawn and was having Varutham (Upset, regret, perturbed, feel sorry, sad,pained )as the dream seen early morning comes true. His friends came to know of it and to alleviate his sadness played Musical instruments like Veena. Some did dance and playact to divert his attention. Some narrated stories of Sanskrit, old Paishka and Magadha Languages Dramas. Some cracked scintillating jokes. Some told unique curious stories. But they did not placate him and his Manam{Chitha (Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect (Bhuddhi) +Ego} was else where and was feeling as though he was lost; seeing this a close dear friend “ today why is your face not charmingly bright? You appear as though you are undergoing a Dhukkam (Grief, Pain, Anguish,sorrow, suffering, worry, unhappiness, heart rending situations). Won’t you tell us that?he pleaded.
Soon Bharatha said ‘Friend Listen! The reason why I am sad is because of this. Last night in the Dream my Father is having his hair opened up and with dirty body is falling from a hillock is to a mound of cow dung and swimming in that. He is drinking oil with his palms and often laughing loud. His whole body was smeared with oil. He was eating the mixture of rice & Til and fell upside down into a mound filled with oil and sunk deep in it. The Sea got parched. Moon fell from the sky; entire world was overcome by darkness; the Royal Elephant’s tusk broke into pieces; raging inferno suddenly quenched;the earth exploded;the trees dried up; the smoke emanated from hills. King was wearing balck dress was seated on iron seat black in colour, Dark and yellow colour complexioned Ladies surrounded him and were Laughing at him clapping their hands. Then wearing with Red Sandalwood paste and Red Garland he went on a Chariot drawn by Donkeys very fast southwards. A demoness wearing Red dress with fierce looking face laughing menacingly dragged the King. Last night I saw these bad Omen Dreams.Eihter me, or Rama orLakshaman will die.” Confessed Bharatha
“ if some one in dream is seen riding a Donkey driven chariot , that person’s corpse’s buring smoke can be seen in creamtion ground soon. This is the reason for my worry and my not paying heed to your endevours ; my heart is getting dried; myManam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} is aching for some reason. I am not able to visuaise any reason for fear. but I am scared there is no doubt on that. My speech, words and my voice are not the normal Profound one. My aura and radiance has dimmed. There is hatred towards myself. But so far I have not seen any such dream. This will certainly come true. This and thinking of my Father my fear is rising in my Manam {Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego}“ saying this he was worried .(Slokas 22) .
