between the kingís lifetime and his loss, my friend, it is because we see that our interests
have suffered on account of his demise.î S∂tåís mother replied, ìYour noble words are
quite true, a spouse that you are of Ayodhyåís lord, who was the greatest of all virtuous
souls known to history.î (1ó4)

ìIf Lakmaƒa, Råma and S∂tå stay in the forest, the end will be good, not bad.
But, said Kausalyå with a heart overwhelmed with emotion.î I am anxious about
Bharata. (282)

ìBy the grace of God and through your blessing my sons and daughters-in-law are
all pure as the water of the celestial stream (Ga∆gå). Although I have never sworn by
Råma, I now swear by him and tell you in good faith, my friend, that in extolling Bharataís
amiability, goodness, modesty, loftiness of character, brotherly affection, devotion, faith
and nobility the wit of even ›åradå (the goddess of speech) falters. Can the ocean be
ladled out by means of an oyster-shell? I have always known Bharata to be the glory of
his house and the king repeatedly told me so. Gold is tested by rubbing on the
touchstone, and a precious stone on reaching the hands of an expert jeweller; while men
are tested in times of emergency by their innate disposition. It was wrong on my part
today to have spoken thus; but you know sorrow and affection leave one little reason.î
On hearing these words, pure as the water of the celestial river, all the queens were
overwhelmed with affection. (1ó4)
