your
family
runs
its
inevitable course in you. Your father
Dasaratha is indeed happy. He is not dead
but lives again immortally in you."
They met Guha again and crossed the
Ganga and reached Ayodhya. Bharata and
his followers entered Ayodhya. The city,
bereft of the King and Rama, appeared
desolate to Bharata. It seemed to be
enveloped in the darkness of a moonless
night. When he returned in haste from
Kekaya, he had entered the city in fatigue
and shapeless fear and suspense; but today
he entered it again fully realising all the
tragedy.
He remembered the past and thought of
the present and grieved afresh. He went to
the palace and took the queens to their
desolate apartments. He went to the
assembly hall, and said: "Great is my
sorrow. But I shall bear it. I shall stay in
Nandigrama and carry out my tasks as I
have
promised
Rama.
Make
all
arrangements for this purpose."
This
was
done
and
he
solemnly
announced
in
the
assembly,
"This
kingdom is Rama's. For the time being, he
has asked me to be in charge. In my
brother's place I have installed his sandals.
Deriving my authority from them I shall
do my work as king."
Accordingly,
Bharata
stayed
in
Nandigrama
and
with
the
help
of
ministers ruled the kingdom as a religious
duty
until
Rama
should
return
after
completing his forest life. And indeed, is
it not the law laid down in Scripture that
one should serve the world unselfishly
and without attachment, leaving the fruit
of one's work at the feet of the Lord?
Rama did his penance in the forest for
fourteen years and all the time Bharata too
did his penance at Nandigrama near
Ayodhya.
29. VIRADHA'S END
NOT far from Chitrakuta was an
outpost
of
the
Rakshasas,
called
Janasthana, in charge of a famous warrior
named Khara, who was a brother of
Ravana.
From
this
station,
fierce
Rakshasas

the
forest
