Bharatha Kayikeyei Debate
Bharatha in general and in soft manner admonished his Mother, then the more and more he thought about her injustice he abused her in a cruel manner “CuelBehviour Lady ! Bad woman ! when your mother did injustice, your father drove her away from the country; likewise you also go away from this country. You have killed my Father,and after having driven away my brothers from the city do you expect my Praanan(-Life force, Last Breathe,that without which causes Physical and medical Death)to stay? You take it as I am also dead, and also for killing your husband, Rama Lashmana Sita and the people of this country for that Sin repent as long as you live in agony.Did my Father or Rama ever spoken ill of you? Is there a Dharmathma like my Elder brother? What injustice have they committed for you to kill one and punish the other by chasing him away to Forest? By the destruction of Ikshwaku Dynasty you have done a Prana Hathya( Killing of Brahmin who has mastered all the Chapters of Vedas) dosha (gulit of accusation). Your going to Hell is confirmed;you will not get the Destinations which your husbnad will go. Even I am terrified by the act of your killing your own husband and of sending Rama to forest.My Father lost his Life because of you;my Rama went to forest because of you;because of you I have earned infamy until such a period ,Time exists.It is confimed that you will get the destiny Sinners go in the Life after Death. You greedy woman who wanted to rule the Kingdom! You are my worst enemy who has taken the form of my mother;One who has got name for following HeniousPath! You are guilty of the Crime of killing your husband !do not talk to me, Kaushalya , Sumithra and other Queens how much excruciating agony they must be undergoing because of you?, See for yourself, what Good Fame you earned for your Lineage, where you were born? Ashwapathi King(Kayikeyei’s father) is an extremely Dharmic; Great Learned Scholarly wise person,there is no justice for you to be born to him. Some Demoness has taken your form to destroy his Lineage. Rama is the incarnation of Sathyam(Truth) and Dharma (Righteous conduct,Just, Duty, Pious, humble,Charitable, respectful, humble ,Ethical,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation)and you have driven him to Forest? And in that pangs of separation you killed the King. Youhave made me loiter without Father and Brothers. You have done a cruel act with a sole purpose of making me a King, now having lost my Father, I have to carry it on my head; will any creature ever have any Love for you, the great Sinner you are? Will they have any Sympathy for you? Kaushlaya Devi who has bent of mind to Dharma at his old age, you have weaned away her son Rama which Destination would you after death? It doesn’t appear to me that you have no recourse/ refuge, but get annihilated totally without any form. Even though Rama was Kaushalya’sson , he is the fulcrum for all the Living beings, and also is equal to Dasaratha in all respect, if the people lose him they will die , did this not occur to you? Doesany one has doubt on this score?
“The main parts of Mother, Father’s Body ie Face, Neck, Chest, Stomach , Arms and Hands, Legs are important Limbs and other sub parts such as Eyes, Nose, Fingers and heart from essence of these Child is born. ‘Man himself is reborn as his Child’enshrine the Doctines of Vedas(Veda Vakhya). For mother more than her brother and other realtions She has an immense Love for the Child born from her stomach.When that be the case, will the Mother Kaushalya Devi bear the pangs of separation of Rama?
“ in earlier times Kamdhenu(Celestial Mother Cow) knower of all Dharmas was looking at all that was happening in the earth; it saw a farmer tied 2 Ox to his plough and was tilling the soil(earlier there were no tractors further the Dung of the o x were organic manure or fertilizer and the cattle Energy was the most purest cheapest,pollution free). Since they ploughed the soil till mid day without any rest in one breath , they fell unconscious. Surabhi(Kamadhenu) seeing this that the Animals which were born in it’s Lineage suffering like this cried hoarsely.ThenDevendra(King of Celestials) came there for some other reason, those tear drops with fragrance fell on him. When he looked up, he saw Kamadhenu crying in agony unable to bear the pain. Immediately with folded hands said “ Mother! Why are you crying? Did myself or those who are connected to me do Abacharam (Disrespectful behavior, discourteous, uncivilized) to you ?You are the benefactor and giver of all Sukham (Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires)for this world, why are you in Dhukkam(Grief, Pain, Anguish,sorrow, suffering,worry, unhappiness,heart rending situations )?.there is no reason for you to fear any one?” asked Indra.
Kamadhenu replied ‘ I have no fear of any Living beings’. The 2 Oxs born in my Lineage have been strung to the plough by the farmer have worked hard in this heat and have fallen unconscious and lying there. See,despite being without any energy left in them to get up, the merciless Farmer is tormenting them. Seeing it my body is trembling;my heart is fluttering. They and me have blood relationship. Is there anything more dear than one’s own son in this world? Said the Kamdhenu.
‘Still they were not children born from Kamadhenu’s stomach, there are Billions of them like these two Oxes.Kamadhenu in in comparable in adhering and implementing Dharma; it is the origin of all Aishwaryam (Wealth) in this universe ; is the reservoir of all the UthamaGunangal (Nobest Virtues); Creating the Oxes and Cows in many fold so that the Living beings can grow. Despite it having Billions of Children Kamadhenu was unable to bear the Kasht(Agony,purgatory, discomfort, trouble,hardhip, suffering, harassment, annoyance, travail)these two Oxes were undergoing. When that be the case Rama was born to Kaushalya ; only Child;she did not have child for a long long time and had to undergo hardships and finally she got Rama as her son who is adorned with all Noblest Virtues; she is a woman;she is old she is also not dear to the King;for anything and everything she has to rely on Rama. That lady you have separated from her son, do you think you can easily escape ? As long as you are in this world, you will have unabated troubles and infamy , this is certain. Even after Death you will be destroyed and will be formless (ie Not even a insect birth which at least can get some food). There is no doubt on this.’said Bharatha to Kayikeyei.
I will do the final rites of my Father completely , go to Forest and pray to my elder brother Rama and bring him here, will give this Kingdom to him, I will change the infamy I got because of you , will attain boundless Fame. Then I will wear the garb of Thapasvi and live in this world. I will not tolerate the people suffering like this shedding tears, voice stuttering and unable bear this gory act of yours , their excruciating agony. Nor will I tolerate the Sin committed by you of sending Rama to Forest and trying to crown me as King.You better fall in Fire and Die;or go to Dandakaaranya Forest and spend your time without being seen by anybody;or hang yourself with a a rope;There is no other recourse to the Sin you have committed; there is no refuge than this. Rama after he returns to Ayodhya , after accepting the Kingdom, and his coronation is done ,then only anguish in my heart will subside, also the infamy of me being the cause of driving Rama away to Forest will go.” Thus speaking like Rogue Elephant which is being hurt by Hunters with Spade, Erivallayam and other weapons , sighing heavy breathe fall on the ground , Like wise Bharatah with his Eyes red, clothes partially disrobed with ornaments scattered; like the Celestial Elephant which falls after the Celestial festivity Bharatha fell unconcious.(Slokas 36).
