AYODHYÅ-KÅ°NœA *
361
There was a sound of music of various kinds, and the rejoicing in the city was
beyond words. All prayed for Bharataís return (from his maternal uncleís) and said to one
another, ìWould that Bharata came with expedition and obtained the reward of his eyes.î
In every bazar, street, house, lane and place of resort men and women talked to one
another, ìWhen will that blessed hour start tomorow; during which God will fulfil our
desire, when with S∂tå beside Him ›r∂ Råma will take His seat on the throne of gold and
when the object of our desire will be accomplished?î They all said, ìWhen will the morrow
come?î While the wicked gods prayed that some trouble might brew in the meantime.
The rejoicing that was going on in Ayodhyå did not please them even as a moonlit night
is not liked by a thief. Invoking ›åradå the gods supplicated her and laying hold of her
feet fell at them again and again. (1ó4)

ìPerceiving our grave calamity, O Mother, manipulate things in such a way today
that ›r∂ Råma may retire into the forest, relinquishing His throne, and the object of us
immortals may be wholly accomplished.î (11)

Hearing this prayer of the divinities goddess ›åradå stood still and was grieved
at the thought that she was going to play the same role with reference to the people of
Ayodhyå as a wintry night does with respect to a bed of lotuses. Seeing her downcast
the gods spoke again in a suppliant tone, ìMother, not the least blame will attach to you;
for the Lord of Raghus is above sorrow and joy alike. You are fully acquainted with ›r∂
Råmaís glory. As for the people, every embodied soul is subject to pleasure and pain
according to its fate. Therefore, you should go to Ayodhyå for the good of the celestials.î
