Rama Chides Sage Jhabaali
“You had mentioned this because you wanted me to attain what I desire. Even though it may appear as though it will do me immense good and it is justified and in my interest; Turthfully it Is totally unjustified. This will cause me immense Keduthi (Calamity, Misery, Catastrophe). You are propgating the Religion which is Virodham (Enmical, opposite, contrast,mutiny) to Vedas; you have sinful conduct;; one who has no diciplne; Pious will not worship you; all will ridicule you. From one’s conduct one can infer if he is born in an Noble Lineage or not; is he Valorous or timid; is he clean or uncouth. Even though one may not possess the best of Character, one may pose as though he is Virtuous; even if he is Asudhan (Uncouth, Dirty, immoral), he may pose like he is the cleanest;even though he may not posses the features of Pious, he may pose as though he possess them I should behave like that in this world; and dump the Vedic Dharma which is the path for all auspiciousness , and merge all the castes in this world, which does not Vedic doctrines or Vedic rites and as spelt by you if I observe the Adharama as Dharma; Will any Viveki (Learned- Matured- Intelligent- balanced) person ever respect me? Will they not abhor me as a Wicked and the Spolier of this world and ridicule and abuse me?
Even let this passby, how will I get place in Paralokam(God’s domain)? My pledge that I will stay in Forest will become a Lie, if I follow your counseling how will I teach some one else that this is the best path to follow? Though which means will I attain Heaven? With your propagation/ counseling none will attain salvation/heaven. Citizens follow the conduct of the Kings. If I take Lust as the means and run my Life then all the countrymen will flounder and do as they feel. With no discipline all of them very quickly be destroyed.
From earlier times the tradition of Kingdom has been following path of Dharma ,filled with Sathyam(Truth) and Mercy. Sathyam is the a minimum ingredient; this entire World is based on Sathyam(Truth), Saints and Celestials consider Sathyam(Turth ) as the Fulcrum for this universe. In this world one who does not falter Sathyam attains the God’s Feet. Like people are afraid of Snake, the good people are scared of False hood. The Noblest Religion is Sathyam(Truth); The root of Heaven is Satham (Truth); Eshwara (God) is Sathyam (Eternal Truth); all wealth are based on it, there is no greater position than Sathyam (Eternal Truth); Dhanam(Charity),Yaaga (Offerings to Celestials in the Sacrifical Fire Pits reciting Vedas and the Verses invoking the respective Dieties), Homa( sacrificial offering in Fire pits to Gods, Celestials by invoking prayers/Vedas), Penance, Vedas all have their Origin from Sathyam(Eternal Truth); hence we should observe Sathyam(Truth). That person who lives the life with Sathyam as base will after death reaches Paralokam (God’s feet). Person who has forsaken Sathyam might take care of his Family, but after Death reached Hell only.
I,Rama observe Sathyam (Truth) only.i have promised Kayikyei that I will leave the country and live in the Forest. Why should I not fulfill my Father’s ordain? By desiring the Kingdom, by being swayed after hearing destructive words, overcome by the Thamogunam (character of Revenge,Anger,Greed, False Pride, Desire of comfortable life,selfish motive to nurture self or one’s own family),or ignorance I will not falter on the promise I made.I have heard that the one whose forsaken Truth, one who is unsteady in Mind, his Havis (offering of Cooked Rice in Homa) will not be accepted by Pitrus(Fore Fathers) or Devathas (Celestials). By my experience I know the behavoiur/Feature of Soul of a person who follows Sathyam as Dharma .it is also dear to me, the noblest Dharma of Sathyam which are followed by the Pious; as it is very noble way and it is also benificial. I will not accept partial Kshatriya(warrior) Dharma which is rooted with Adharma. This is done by the mean , Sinners, Cruel and Greedy people. When a Lie is uttered the Manam{Chitha (Memory) + Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect (Bhuddhi) +Ego}, Body, Words are also involved. Hence it is part of 3 types of Sins. One who weighs by Manam, Spoken with words, we complete by action with the Body. The Authority of Kingdom, Fame, Wealth,Respect the one who does not falter on Sathyam(Truth). It follows the person who has reached heaven through Sathyam(truth), hence we should guard Sathyam..
‘This is the best path, this will take care of your well being, Do this ‘ you had advocated a path through many tactics and counselled me this Dharma of yours is unacceptable to Elders. My Father who is worthy of worship I had told him “I have promised that I will live in Forest and should I dishonor same and be bound by Bharatha’s words and accept the Kingdom? Kaikyei was so happy because She had faith in me that I will never betray on my promise. I should be pristine pure by following as per Saashtras (Doctrines) by Living in Forest eating only Fruits and Roots ; satisfy the Celestials and Pitrus with Flowers available in the forest. Stop the 5 Indriyas from committing Sins, I will be in this forest doing PithruVaakhya paripalanam(Implementing and Fulfilling Father’s words). I will be rationale in my actions and do all the rites with dedication and implementing same without guile, spend my time here,
Agni(Fire), Vayu(Air), Soma(Moon) have been born in this Earth before and have done Punyam ( Good fortune accrued from Past or being accumulated for future by Virtuous Dharma/good deeds/conduct), due to which they got immense Benefit are enoying the fruits of being in highest positions in this Earth. Present Devendra (God of Celestials) had done 100 Yaagas and thus achieved this Status. Great Sages have done severe Penance and attained the best Worlds. The various routes to heaven are : Sathyam(Truth), Dharma ,Parakrama , mercy to Creatures, speaking endearingly, worshipping Brahmins, Celestials,Guests so have they said the wise .hence the Brahmins should understand this meaning as it is , all should follow their treditions individually implement without fail, and are awaiting their Salvations to the best of the Worlds.
You have the intellect which is Virodham (Enmical, opposite, contrast, mutiny) to Vaidica Dharma; you are preaching this Atheist Dharma to others. You are by conduct a Sarvaga(Aethist)but in the garb of Vaidika(Priest). This way you can cause danger by all means to our Kingdom, I am feeling anguished at my Father appointing you in this important post. I am in this very instance dismissing you from Vaidika Rites Duties. In this country any one who wants only a Physical evidence or Proof need not stay here. Aethist is considered equal to a Thief.Like you abhore the theif , you should abhore the Aethist as well. Aethism is similar to theft.There is no difference between an Aethist and a Thief. Hence when you get doubt that he is not following Vaidika Dharma then any intelligent man should not mix with this person even for a Minute.
Dharma gives happiness in this world and other worlds, the proof is in the Aacharam( Respectful,behaviour,Courteous, Humble, clean, pure in thought action and deed )treditions of our Elders.The great Saints before you were greater than you. They have done many yeomen Good Deeds Karmas and have attained many a Sukam in both this world and other worlds and are in the form of Planets and Stars eternally . Karma anushatanam(Duty/Rites to be performed having taken Birth) is the path for happiness, all benefits in this and outer world hence Brahmins do Auspicious Work, Yagnya,Penance, Dhanam(Charity),. Hence in this world they are Saints are focused on Dharma, seeking company of Pious, Tejhasvi ( shining with dazzling radiance of Aura) or whose effervescence was Dazzling in all directions with Limitless Aura; those who have virtuous Virtues of Dhanam; not doing harm to others; those who do not have Dosh(Fallacy, deficiency, defect,flaw, offence, weakness, fault, imperfection, shortcoming, blame, catch, mistake, guilt, reflection, accused, culprit,delinquent, culpable,convice, blameworthy), worthy of worship, Great persons “ thus they manifests themselves in very many forms. Thus spoke Rama who had come to reinstate the Vaidhika Dharma. Spoke harshly unable to hear the words of Jhabhaali which were against Vedas.
Hearing Rama’s words Jhabaali to pacify again spoke the words which are Truth and Dharma “ When you are in Dharma sankat Situation , the exponent of all Religions , has to uphold any one Dharma and remove that obstacle “ as per that, our Kingdom being in a state of Kingless in a Dangerous position , I wanted to turn you somehow and solve this situation by making you accept the Kingdom. That was thr reason why took the path of Aethist reasoning. Truthfully I am not an Aethist. Neither do I preach Aethist philosophy. Nor do I believe there is no outer World. Many a time when they apply aethism for debate, I have argued against them and torn them to pieces. If required I use the Aethist argument as well. Hence I did speak in that fashion now. It is now to inform time to inform everyone that you are deep rooted in the Path of Veda. Seeing Bharatha in sorrow I could not stand same. Just to please heim I had to speak in this Language.(Slokas39).
