Rama meets Dasaratha
When Rama said this Mahadeva thought “Devas job is over, so Brahma had prayed Rama to return to his abode, But in the worlds Dharma is in bad shape and I am aware of Rama’s opinion that Dharma has to be out in firm footing”. So he addressed Rama “Pundarikaaksha! Srivatkaksha! one who is adorned by Conch, Chakra, Mace ! one who has in his Chest Samey Maru! Lord you can destroy enemies by mere Thinking ! You are the Jewel of Ikshwaku clan and follow Kshatriya Dharma what you are doing is ideal. In all worlds Adharam is spreading and growing day by day. The fear of Ravana made every one despair. Today you have killed that 10 headed Ravana and have given protection to all the worlds. By uprooting Adhram, you have installed Dharma. Bharatha is Losing Heart, Kaushlaya who was blessed to have you as her son has gone pale, Special Famed Kayikeyie and Sumithra are awaiting your arrival, Please meet them and erase their anguish. Get coronated as the King of Ayodhya and make your friends, relations , subjects Happy for a Long time. Please rule in Dharamic way beget sons to improve the Ikshwaku dynasty, perform many an AshwamedhaYaga bestow limitless wealth to Noble Brahmins, attain Eternal Fame, then You can go back to your abode. You and Lakshmana Please do Namaskaram to Your Father who is dazzling with Aura” said Mahadeva.
Hearing that Rama and Lakshmana did Namaskaram to their FATHER Dasratah who was sitting in a Divine Aircraft. He was shining with Aura and was dazzling with Ornaments and Garments. Dasaratha too was eager to see his dearest Son Rama hugged him, made him sit on his Lap and kissed his fore head and said “Child! Rama! The Heaven and the comfort / Luxuries enjoyed there is not big for me. The Sages of Devas facilitating me is also not a big thing. You not being there with me will never be quenched. **( It is the Paramthama God Rama which is bing missed by the Soul of Dasratha - Also when died he was thinking of Rama so as per the last wish was being fulfilled in meeting Rama in battle field) Please believe me what I am saying is Sathyam (Truth). The words which Kayiekeyei uttered to drive you to Forest are still piercing my heart. Will it be forgotten till Time exists? Today seeing you and Lakshmana has cooled my Eyes and happy that both of you are safe, I erased that grief. Like the Sun dispels the Dew, Your Full Moon like face has removed the grief in my heart and Agyanam Ignorance. Puthiran (Son) means You are the real Puthran. Earlier the great Sage Gahowlara was released from earthly bondage by Ashta Vakra, like wise Great Soul Rama having been born as my Son, you have released me from my earthly bondage. (Bhava Sagar Paar). The coronation ceremony arrangements made for You were spoilt by Kayikeyei and Manthara and chased to Forest were the strategy adopted by the Devas and they ensured that You and Laskhmana were brought from Kingdom to Forest and also ensured Sita was abducted by Ravana all these were Ploy arranged by Celestials. Later I came to know of these. Rama! You have destroyed Enemies and with Jyalakshmi (Goddess of Victory) return to Ayodhya and the person who is going to witness this and Your entering Queen’s Chambers is Kaushalya and she is Bhagysaali (extremely Blessed and charmingly Great Good Fortunes). You being seated on the throne of Ayodhya duly coronated and ruling over them,t hose Ayodhya citizenry aren’t they the real Punyavaan (Noble adherers of Dharma, consequently deriving Benefits finally for sure )? Bharatha has extreme affection for You; He is strong; of pure conduct; he does not deviate from the path of Dharma; You have to give audience to him. Hey Greatest amongst Humans! I know very well that You are Maha Vishnu who had taken the incarnation of a Humna to destroy Ravana and the Raskhasaa Clan. I would like to see you and Bharatha together.You had lived in Forest with Sita and Lakshmana for 14 Years. As per Your pledge the Life in Forest is completed. By destroying Ravana and his entourages You have accomplished the task of Devas as well and fulfilled their Prayers as well. They have derived immense Bliss. You have accomplished those exploits, which was impossible for others. You have earned the Eternal Fame. May You Live Long with Bharatha, Lakshman, Shatrugna for a Long time and Rule the country” - thus blessed Dasaratha.
Hearing this Rama folded his hands and bowed and said “Lord! You have to show mercy to Kayikeyei and Bharatha .Your curse ‘You and Your son I hereby shun you both’ should not trouble them“ - pleaded Rama to Dasaratha. He too said ‘May it be so’. He looked at Lakshmana who was standing nearby hugged him with affection and said “ Child ! I am extremely pleased by the manner in which You worshipped Rama & Sita with devotion. You have thus attained the benefit of the noblest Dharma. If Rama shows mercy on You, You will get Dharma, Large Fame, Heaven, Luxury, Comfort, Glory. Please continue to do service to Rama always, he is ever focused to bless all the worlds. These Sidhas, Devas, Sages, and all the Living Beings in 3 Worlds, Indra and Devas are celebrating Rama. They worship him. He is Antharyami (One dwells in the innner core of All Living beings) including Devas . Adorning the form of Agni is worshipped in all Yagnya.Only through Upanishads he can be known. He can’t be understood with out Bhakthi( Devotion). The Para Brahmam (Eternal Omini present God) is Rama, I have heard from Brahma and others. Wasn’t it because of Your devoted service to Rama and Sita confer on You Victory and Fame in the Battle? He Looked at Sita and said “ Rama wanted to exhibit your Greatness, Glory, Aacharam (Respectful behaviour,Courteous, Humble, clean, pure in thought action and deed ) and Fame to be known to the world so he conducted himself by speaking harshly behaving Like that. Do not in the least bit be perturbed by it or grieve by it. I have nothing to teach you as far as serving your husband” thus having counselled Sita and his Sons returned to Indra’s world in the dazzling chariot. (Slokas 38)
