Rama Laments
Rama met Lakshmana midway when he was coming insearch of him from Ashrama and seeing him in anguish ; “ I entrusted Sita to you because of the fact You are there to take care of her in my absence, why did you come leaving her alone? Seeing you I am certain some problem has come to Sita. Seeing you coming alone wihout Sita my Left Eye, Left Arm, Left Chest were Twitching, indicating Bad Omen “.Already pained by Sita’s cruel words of Sita, Rama’s words added fuel to the Fire. Still he controlled his anger and agony and said “ Anna(Elder Brother) ! Ihave not come wantonly without any proper reason. Sita with very cruel words scolded and sent me here. Or else will I ever disobey your orders? “ We heard You Kadhara ( Pleading,Yelling, Bellowing,screaming loudly, Exasperation) ‘Haa Seetha ! Haa Lakshamana, save me ! , Sita hearing this got scared , with tears rolling down due to the affection she has for you, for got the imminent danger awaiting her she said “ Lakshamana Run Run, Don’t stay here’ said she. Thus she ordered me many times. Since I knew your capability, I did not pay heed to her pleadings and told her “ There is no Rakshasaa in any world, you can cause Fear in Rama . This is not his Voice. Some one else is uttering this in an imitated voice to deceive us. You need not worry. Rama he who has the power to protect all the worlds and all the Living beings, will he ever utter the deameaning words ‘ Save me’ that too to a Lady and a servant like me? Will it behove of the Greatest human like him? Which Rakshasaa for unknown reason in Rama’s voice had Screamed Save me Save me. Furhter the Words ‘ Lakshmana save me’ is definitely not Rama’s Vocie. There is definitely difference between this and Rama’s Voice. Why are you worried like other ladies? Please do not send me there. There is none who is born or going to be born who can challenge Rama in any other Worlds. Even if all the Celestails join together, can they even raise an Eye brow towards Rama? ‘ I tried telling her so many times. But Sita was mentally worried and did not take cognizance of them. Profusely shedding Tears she spoke the unthinkable words to me, when I have know knowledgesaid “Hey Scoundrel ! Have you any plan of seeking my hand? Your intention will not work out. Have You and Bharatha jointly planned this ? Have you assured Bharatha that at an opportune moment you will kill Rama ? or is it you have an endless Devotion for Rama and came? When there is Danger to his Life aren’t you seem to be not worried? When I am worried, aren’t you cheating me with deceiving words? You are sworn enemy of Rama. You are waiting for an opportune moment to kill him., You are cunning. For my sake you have come with him to Forest. Other wise when he needs to be saved, would you be standing by watching without doing anything?”these cruel words she spoke which hither to she has never uttered. Her Eyes were Red and Lips were Twitching. Unable to bear the same I came from there” said Lakshmana.
But Rama due to separation from Sita his darling wife, was mentally shaken “ Whaterve be the circumstance , it was wrong on your part of to have left her alone. This has given room for Calamity. Don’t you know that Rakshasaas do not matter me? Your leaving the Ashrama was a blunder. It is normal for Ladies not to have maturity. That too Sita’s mind was confused in Anger. Will a Viveki (Learned- Matured- Intelligent- Wise -balanced )person give credence to that ? Your giving room to anger and disobeying my orders is not Good. She is worshippable by You; for a Lady; due to Anger her thinking is scattered ;where as I have ordered you clearly to stay put there. You should not get angry immaterial of what Sita might say. Even if you were unable to bear her words, you should have hid yourself and still protected her. Mareecha who in Disguise of Deer made me run for long time and he died by an Arrow playfully shot at him and he died. At the time of Death he shed his Deer disguise and came back to his normal Rakshasaa form and shouted ‘ Haa Sita ! Haa Lakshmana ! please save me‘ in my Voice he did Kadhara ( Pleading,Yelling, Bellowing,screaming loudly, Exasperation). Hearing that you have left Sita alone and came here. (Slokas27)
