Rama annoyed with Sugreeva
Rama somehow spent the 4 months having suffered the Rain and Pain of separation of Sita. Sugreeva did not come out of Kishkinda. Clouds cleared and the Sky became clear; Moon was spotlessly clear.The winter nights were also was white appeared pasted by a colour called Moon. Sugeeva fell into the Lust trap and did not make efforts.Sita having been usurped by Ravana was not known where she was.The Time mentioned by Sugreeva was past. On that belief only Rama who somehow bore the agony bereft of that hope fainted due to the sorrow.But being a Great Intelligent person, he regained consciousness , started lamenting about Sita who never went away from his heart. Sitting in the Pravansarava Mountian which is full of all minerals seeing the Winter sky with Full moon he was reminded of Sita. Bereft of Lightning ,Clouds pure clear sky with Swans sound filled only increased his longing for Sita an made him Lament.
“ In Ashrama hearing the voice of Saarasa Birds Sita used to imitate them now how she must be tormented at the hands of Rakshsaas? Sita who saw Vengai trees Flowers which Looked like as though they are made of Gold used to be happy seeing them, now that I am also not present how much must she be suffering? Sita who went to sleep was always awakened by Kala Swans now how is she sleeping or how is she getting up? When Chakravaha Birds used to play with Sita and when she was love lorn used to keenly wait for my arrival, now that he is separated from how is she Suriving? Despite my walking around in Rivers, Lakes, Streams, Forests, Groves, Hills without she being nearby me it does not give me comfort. Manamadha( God of Love) who has the traits of Winter would he spare Sita alive when she is separated from me? Like Chaathak Bird cries aloud pleading for water looking heaven wards to Indra , Rama Lamented thus.
Then Lakshamana who had gone to fetch Vegetables, Fruits from foot hills returned. Then he saw Rama alone with ashen face full of sorrow and endless worry, heart broken was not himself. Seeing this he also got perturbed and said “Lord! You have succumbed to your desire and having lost your manliness and not making efforts to search Sita what is the use of same? Do not allow your Manam{ Chitha (Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} to fritter away and taking cognizance of Your courage isn’t it the time to make all out efforts to search for Sita?In the task one should have efforts, clean focused Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego}, courage, and realizing time has come to find the way out, and the abiity Sugreeva has to help you, the Benifits you got by doing Holy activites such as Devathopasana (Worshipping of Celestials Devas), now you should use all these as Tools in accomplishing your task. Sita who is always with you, can anyone even think of her? Will a person who wants to hug the Flaming Fire would he remain un burnt?” thus with Hitham ( Palatable, Soothing counsel - in the interest/Good of Rama- well meant), Honey like and Sathyam(Truthful) words Lakshaman conveyed.
Rama hearing these encouraging words “ As mentioned by you, we have to start our efforts in searching Sita.i should undertake actions by which we can assimilate means of Winning over Enemy in Battle field including Morivation/Morale, Power .
The Task ahead is very difficult. The benefit to be accrued is greatest. So we should think in such away that will accrue in our culmination of our Thoughts” thus speaking again reminded of Sita, with pale face, started describing the Winter season. “ Devendra by making rain to pour all over the earth has made grains to flower and has done his job. The Dark clouds dark Like the Neelothapal flower petals had spread far and wide , after raining on hills and Trees have now stopped The Clouds, Paecocks and the Elephants are silent now.
“The hills have become clean due to heavy rains from the huge clouds , due to Minerals presnt appear to dazzle in Sandalwood colour in a Novel manner. When young Damsels join with their spouses newly, their body parts are partially only visble as they are shy; like wise then Sand dune mounds in the midst of River are seen partially submerged in winter season after water levels have receded slowly. Now the Winter season is showing it’s beauty in the Ezhilai Palai trees and in the illuminence of Moon,stars & Sun. It is also seen in the pure breed Elephants play as well. Thus the winter season’s beauty is seen in many materials. Now it is seen much more in the Lotus streams when sun rays awaken and blossom the Lotus flowers.
“ Absorbing the Ezhilam Pala (Alstonia scholaris)trees Flowers fragrance along with Bees hum drum the breeze blows. This increases the Roguish nature of the Elephants. Swan and Chakravaha Birds go to various places have now come back, due to happiness flapping their wings are going and playing in Lotus petals strewn sand mounds. Beauty of Winter season is seen amongst the Rogue Elephants, Fat grown Oxen,and crystal clear Rivers. Peacocks looking at the cloudless skywards are shedding their ornamental Feathers and with no love towards the Peahen are seeming to be worried. Carrying the burden of the Golden hues Flowers the Vengai Trees is dazzling across the sky. With the desire for Lotus flowers and llured by the fragrance of Ezhilam Pala (Alstonia scholaris)trees Flowers the gait of Female elephants which were hither to happily roaming around in the Forests have now slowed down. The sky without clouds are shining like the sharpened weapons. The water levels have receded and the river is flowing slowly. The air mixing with Chenkazhuneer flwoers Is now giving a chilly breeze.Directions are now bright devoid of dark clouds. The marshy lands now dried by the sun rays is creating flying dust. Kings have got back their Enmity and jealousy and fighting with each other are starting battles. Due to the Winter season the body is shining, with happiness and dust laden bodies Oxen with muscles itching for a fight with one and another are shouting in the midst of Cows.With increased desire the Love lorn Rogue Male Elephant loitering in Forests is accosted by Female Elephants slowly and are crowding the Male Elephant Lovingly and walking along. Peacocks having shed their feathers go to river where they are chased by Swans and having lost their majestic sprightly gait are walking meekly. The Storks are scared and running away by the Elephants trumpheting as they come to the Lotus streams water front and stirring the water available and driking them.
The River water is not muddy and running clearly.The sand mounds are seen in the centre.Cows are grazing the grass; Saarasa Birds are singing melodiously. The places like Rivers, Streams, Forests, where there were Clouds , Water falls and during windy times the Hordes of Peacocks and Forgs in bunches Sounds have stopped now.Many coloures Serpents were Lying in their pits without food. Now having become thin and hungry are hissing and pouncing angrily with most venomous Poison statretd prowling for prey out of their Pit. The Dusk Lady when her dear Hero Moon with his hands of Rays caresses her body due to excess Bliss flutters her Eyes Like Stars; with Love she herself disrobes (sky or Dress) . The Lady called Night with beautiful Moon as her Face, and the Eyes of Stars with white silken robe of moon Light she exhudes. When the Swans with their beaks picked up the Grains of the Paddy and fly away towards the sky fast, they look like the Flowers Garland which is being woven with gutsy wind. The clear Sky devoid of clouds sprinkled with abundant stars and adorned by Full moon is the like the water in the centre of Sand Mounds endowed with sleeping Swan and Blossomed Kumudha Flowers. Like the youthful exhuberant Damsels , the Streams with Swans as their Garland with blossomed Lotus is exhibiting with Kalhaaram Flowers. The sound of churining for Curd; the cows calling their calfs, the roar of the Ox overcome by Lust, the early morning Flute of the shepards all these sounds being synchronized by early morning Wind. When the white Kushal grass is being swayed slowly by the wind, they look like the body of the Lady with a White Silken robe. The Bees after drinking the Honey in the Forest is roguish with happiness accompanied with their Consorts is following the wind, with the dust of Lotus & Vengai Flowers spraying on them they are flying away. The Water is crystal clear; Amla flowers have blossomed; the grains of the Paddy have riped; the Crownch Birds are cooing; the breeze has set in pleasantly; the Full Moon is blemishless. With these features are evidenced that the Winter has sent in and the Monsoon had departed is becoming apparent. Like the Vayshya Women who sell themselves after enjoying with the men during the night walking slowly in the early morning , the Rivers(Ladies) with the Fish as their adorning garlands are flowing.
“ The Faces of the Rivers is adornd with the Thilak(Dot) of Gorochana and also the makarika Bhathram * of Vaylam paasi , with White Silken robe of Kushal grass are looking like the Ladies who are adorned.*{Earlier it was the practice of Ladies adorning theremselves with their Eyes being like Fish and with Lines drawn like ther nerves of the Leaves was knows as the Makarika Bahthram}.The Forest which is full of blossomed flowers and humming of the Bees; Manmadha ( God of Love) with his weapons of Bow and Arrows is aggressively roaming around. The Clouds have gladdened the earth with their rains, filled the rivers and Lakes.blossomed the healthy growth of Paddy have now disappeared from the Sky. The crystal clear waters of the river is now being with Chakravahas & enjoined by the Lilitng sounds of Anril Birds. In the foot hills Ezhilam Pala (Alstonia scholaris) , Vengai, Trees and Red Cotton (Chemparuthi) plants is blossoming with their Flowers. The Sand Mounds in the river are covered by Swans and Chakravaha birds. The time has come for Kings to wage a war on each other overwhelmed by Enmity.
When that be case the Sugreeva hasn’t come as yet; and his effrots for my sake is also not evidenced. Like the female Chakravaha bird follows it’s mate, this gory Dhandakaaranya was considered by Sita as a Garden and Sita came despite my telling her not to accompany me from Ayodhya; now I am suffering in agony due to seapratation from her.These four months of Monsoon was spent like many hundred years . After having been driven out of the Kingdom and now being separated from Sita and seeing my pitiable plight King Sugreeva has no mercy. Thinking “This chap has lost his Kingdom, he has no refuge; he is timid; he had immense Love for Sita; he has earned enmity with Ravana; he is far away from Ayodhya; he is totally dependent on me.”thus like this, the bad soul King of Monkeys is insulting me. “I will search and find Sita” Sugreeva made a such a promise to me. Having achieved his job, then he is not even aware of the Time deadline. You go to Kishkinda and tell that Fool who is immersed in these Worldly comforts/Joy the following “ A person who had received Help and assures that he will reciprocate and promises so by luring them, then making them sad in their heart is Lowly born. The one who keeps up his word immaterial if it earns him Sin or Punya is the Best amongst Humans.The friends who do not reciprocate for the help rendered, after their Death, even the wretched Animals like Eagle, Dog will not touch him.” Convey this to him Ask him has he the desire that once again should I out of anger bend the golden banded Bow and string it up and make Thunder like revereberating Sound from them? He must be fully aware of my PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might , Puissance ,Exploits, Valor, Heroism, Gallantry,Prowess ,Ability ,Valour). He has forgotten that you are helping me, is it not a surprise he is not even bothered a Least bit? My seeking friendship with him and killing Valli was solely for his helping me in searching and Locating Sita, this fact he has totally forgotten.His job is over isn’t it? He had promised that the he will search for sita after the Monsoon is over, now he is immersed in carnal pleasures hasn’t he realised even those 4 months time have gone by? He is drinking happily with his Minsters and Friends . He has not sympathy in his heart for us, who are in anguish.
“ Child ! go and tell Sugreeva my Anger, My Abiiity, and the benefits in detail. “ Tell him that the Path which Valli was killed by my Bhana(Arrow with Feather) is still open. Sugreeva fulfill your pledge. Do not go in the path of Valli. Earleir I had killed only with 1 Bhana( Arrow),. If you fail in your promise then you and your relations will be rooted out totally. ”tell this to him. Further at this juncture what is in his interest also you convey. Time is elapsing.Go fast. “ Hey King of Vanaras( Monkeys) ! Please keep in Manam {Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind + Intellect (Bhuddhi) +Ego} the eternal Dharma please fulfill the Promise made to Rama. Do not fall a prey to Rama’s Arrows and go and meet Valli in YamaLok(God of Death’s World)” tell this to that Fool that I have convyed this to be told to him.” Thsu spoke Rama.
Seeing his elder brother’s rage is going on increasing and roaring Lakshmana of immense Valour decided to severly Punish Sugreeva. (Slokas 58)
