of
grief.
To
avoid
all
suspicion, take with you the usual gifts of
jewels
and
precious
garments
for
presentation to the King of Kekaya."
From this we can understand the
meaning of what the Shastras and Kural
say about Truth. Truthfulness should be
such that it needlessly hurts no being in
the world. The test for right conduct
including
truthfulness
is
harmlessness.
This
does
not
mean
that
truth
is
underrated.
Soon the messengers were provisioned
and equipped for the long journey and
furnished with gifts of honor. Mounted on
swift and sturdy horses, they sped past
rivers and forests, up hill and down dale,
and
reached
Kekaya,
which
was
somewhere to the west of the modern
Punjab,
and
found
themselves
in
Rajagriha, its capital, where the Ikshvaku

Rama
or
Lakshmana or myself. They say that an
early morning dream does not fail to be
fulfilled. And mine has been a terrible
dream. I am full of fear. I know not what
to do."
Just
then
the
messengers
were
announced. The King of Kekaya and his
son Yudhajit received the envoys with due
courtesy.
They paid their respects to the King
and that princes, then turned to Bharata
and said:
"The priests and ministers send you
their blessings and request you to return at
once to Ayodhya. They want us to convey
to you that the need for your presence
there is most urgent. Please touch for
acceptance these garments and jewels to
be given to your uncle and to the King as
gifts from the palace of Ayodhya."
Bharata
