(The coronation that  did not take place)

Anneram aadhithyan  udhicheedinaan,

Mannavan  palli kuruppu  unarneela innum,

 Yenthoru   moolam mathinnu  yennu manase,

Chinthichu, chithichu  ,mandam, mandam thadhaa,

Manthri  pravaran aakunna  Sumanthrarum,

Manthapuram akam  pukkan  athi drutham.

At  the time the  Sun rose up,

 But the  king had not still woken up,

The chief minister Sumanthra

Anxious to know the reason,

Thought a lot and  slowly,

Entered the quarters of the queens.

“Rajjevamithra gathroth Bhootha, Bhoopathe,

Raja Rajendra  pravara, Jaya jaya”

Itham nrupane  sthuthichu  namaskarichu,

Uthanavum cheythu  vandhichu ninnappol ,

Yethrayum  khinnayai  kanu neerum vaarthu ,

Pruthwiyil thanne kidakkum Narandrane,

Chithakulathayaa  kandu Sumanthrarum,

SAthwaram Kaikeyi   thannodu chodhichaan,

“Deva nari same, Raja Priyathame ,

Devi Kaikeyi , jaya , jaya santhatham,

Bholoka palan , prakruthi pakaruvaan,

Moolam yenthonnu   , Maha Raja  Vallabhe ,

Cholluka yennodu “ yennu kettu  Kaikeyiyum,

Chollinal aasu  Sumanthrarodu anneram.

“Oh king who  belongs to the    clan of friend of lotus flower,

Oh king , Oh best among king of kings, Victory, victory.”

Like this he praised  the king  and  saluted him on the floor,

Stood up   and  again saluted  him, and then he saw,

The  worried king  with shedding tears  and lying on the floor,

And also greatly upset and seeing him thus  Sumanthra,

Immediately  addressed Kaikeyi  and asked her,

“ Oh queen equal to deva ladies, darling of the king,

Oh Qheen Kaikeyi, , Always victory, victory,

What  is the reason for   change  of the mood,

Of the king, Oh consort of king of kings, please tell me,”

Hearing this  Kaikeyi replied  like this to Sumanthra,.

“Dhathreepatheendrannu nidhra yundayilla,

Rathriyil yennathu karanamakayaal,,

 Swasthanallahe  chanjithu thannude,

 Chithathinnu  aswathanthrathwam bhavikkayaal,

Rama , Ramethi  Ramethi japikkayum,

Ramane thanne  manasi chinthikkayum,

Udyal  prajagara  sevayum  cheygayaal,

 Athyantha  aakulanayithu mannavan.

Ramane kananju  dukham nrupendrnnu ,

Ramane chennu varuthuga  Vaikathe.”

The great king did not   get any sleep,

At night  and that  is the reason,

For his being  not all right  and ,

Also  he is  sick in the  mind ,

And keeps on repeating  Rama, Rama,

And always thinking  about only Rama,

And also since  he was  not able to sleep at all,

The king has become  greatly worried.

Since the king is sad  in not seeing Rama,

Without delay   go and get  Rama.”

Yennathu kettu Sumanthranum  Chollinaan,

“Chennu Kumarane Kondu varamallo,

Raja vachanam  aakarnya jnan iha,

Rajeva lochane, pokunnathu yengine?:”

Yennathu kettu  bhoopalanum chollinaan,

“Chennu nee thanne Varuthuga Ramane,
Sundarnayoru  ramakumaranaam,

Nandanan than mukham vaikathe Kananam,”

Yennathu kettu Sumanthrar uzharippoi,

Chennu Kousalya suthanodu cholinaan,

“Thathan bhavane yundallo vilikkunnu,

Vandhichu  veenu Namaskaricheedinaan.

Hearing this   Sumanthra  told,

“I can go and bring  that lad easily,

But oh lotus   eyed one, how  can I go,

Without the  orders  of the king himself.”

Hearing this  the king himself told,

“ You  go and get  Rama  here quickly,

I have to see  without delay  the face ,

Of that pretty one  called  Rama Kumara,”

Hearing this  Sumanthra  became scared,

And went to the son of Kausalya  and told,

“ Your father is calling you urgently,

So without any delay  you have to come,”

And Rama hearing the words of the minister ,

  Speedily  along with his younger brother,

Lakshmana   got in to the chariot,

And reached the house  where his father was staying out of love,

 And  saluted   both the  feet of his father ,

  And fell  at his feet  in the ground,”

Ramane  chenneduthu  alinganam cheyvaan,

Bhoomipaansu   samuthaya  sambramaal,

Bahukkal neeetiya  nerathu dukhena ,

Mohichu bhoomiyil  veenithu bhoopanum.

“Karanam yenthonnu  Thatha dukhathinnu,

When the king  readied  himself,

To take   and hug Sri Rama ,

And extended  his hands ,

He fainted  and fell on the floor.

Saying  Rama , Rama  and seeing him,

Rama speedily took the king and also hugged him,

And then with respect  he made  him lie on his lap,

Seeing this  the ladies  with heightened  sorrow,

Started  crying and wailing , and hearing their ,

Cries  sage Vasishta  immediately entered the house,

And  Sri Rama at that  time asked,

“What is the reason for  my Father’s sorrow,

People  who know it , please  tell me straight,”

And then the daughter of Kekaya  told straight,

“ You are the only reason for your father’s sorrow.

In the world  the root of sorrow  is pleasure itself,

And  you can easily make amends for that,

And make  your father leave his sorrow,

And  for   removing the sorrow of my husband,

You should  at least play  a role.”

You make  your  father teller of  truth ,

Because   he is  a great protector of truth,

The wish in the mind of the king is definitely,

Your duty  as you are his first son.

I have been given two boons,

By your father when he was happy.

And those  two which can be done only by you,

Were  requested  by me today.

Ashamed  to tell you about them,

He has become disconsolate ,

And you are the only one  to save ,

Your father  who has been tied by his oath.

You please  understand that Brahma,

Coined the word son(puthra) because,

They would save their parents  from hell call “puth”.

Mathru vachana  soolabhi hathnaya,

Medini pala kmaranaam   Ramanum,

Lakshmanan thanne  thyajikkennu choligilum,

Thal kshanam  jnan upekshippanariga  nee.”

Hit by the  trident of the words of the mother ,

Rama  who was  the son of the  ruler of the country ,

 Told   with lots of  sorrow  as follows,

“Is it necessary to tell all this , mother,

For the sake  of father , without any doubt ,

I would give up  even my soul  or my mother,,

Or Sita  , without any sorrow in mind,

If my father  wishes , Oh mother ,

I would   even give up this country ,

I would even give up Lakshmana,

Within no time , If he  tells me.”

Pavakan thangal  pathikkenam yengilum,

Aakulamethum yenikkilla  nirnayam,

Sathyam  karomyaham  , sathyam karomyaham,

Sathyam mayoktham  marichu randai varaa.”

If it is neccasry to fall in fire  or drink poison,

If father  tells,I will do it. There is  not even

Little doubt in my mind  about it, you understand,

 The son  who  does  the wishes in the mind,

Of his father  without him telling is great,

The one who does  it after he tells is medium,

Though it is proper , a son who says that,

It is not his duty  is  the poop of his parents,

Say the  good people  and this is all I have understood.

So it is for sure   that  I do not have sorrow or pain,

For observing what my father tells me,

This is an oath, this is an oath,

I am taking an oath  and there is no two opinions  about it.

Rama prathigna  kettoru Kaikeyiyum,

Ramanodasu  cholledinaal aadharaal,

“Thathan  ninakku  abhishekarthamai udan,

Aadral  sambharichoru sambharangal,

Kondu abhishekam Bharathannu cheyyanam,

Randaam varam  pinne  onnundu vendunnu,

Nee pathinalu  samvathsaram kanane,

Rajyathe   rakshippathinnu  mathiyavan,

Rajyam  upekshippathinu  jnanum mathi.

After  hearing    the oath of Kaikeyi,

Told   the following  words to Rama,

“ Let all the things  that have been collected,

By your father  for your coronation,

Be used to celebrate  the Coronation of Bharatha,

There is also   a  second boon, it is that,

 You should  live  inside  the forest,

For fourteen years in the garb of a sage,.

The king  feels  bad to tell you this,

And also it will cause   sorrow to him.”

Hearing this Sri Rama told like this,

“What is the problem for carrying it out today,

Let the coronation of Bharatha  be performed,

 And  oh mother , I  would go to the forest forthwith,

Why did not father  tell me about this?

What is the reason for his thought and sorrow?

 He  is very suitable to  protect the country,

And I am prepared  to leave this country.”

Dandamathre rajhya baram vahippathu,

Thrupthanaakeedinan  thathannu thannude ,

Youvanam  nalki jaranarayum  vangiu,

Divyanmaarayaar, pithru prasadithinaal.

To carry out the burden of a country is a punishment,

But Residence in Dandaka   forest   is very easy,

It is only because of the mother’s love,

That  she asked me  to rule  only my body.

Bhageeratha brought Ganga from the sky,

Speedily to the  nether world ,

So that his ancestors are  satisfied,

And Puru made  his father very happy,

By giving his youth and taking his old age ,

And both of them became great by the grace of their manes.

Alparoyoru karyam niroopichu,

Raghava  vakyamevam ketta bhoopathi ,

Sokena Nandanan thannodu chollinaan,

“Strijithanm  athi kamukanayoru,

Pasena bandhicvhu Rajyam grahikka nee,

Dosham ninakku  athinethum akappada,

Allaykil yenodu  sathyadosham pathu,

Mallo Kumara, Gunanbudhe, Raghava.”

Thinking of such an insignificant matter,

There was no need for my father to be sad.”

The king after hearing the words of Rama ,

With great sorrow told his son,

“Since I am a slave to ladies, a lover,

And a worst king , without any delay,

Tie me with a rope  and take the country from me,

You will not have any sin by doing that,

Otherwise  I would be  suffering the guilt.

Of not following the oath, son,

Ocean of good character , Oh Raghava..”

The king of kings Dasaratha again,

Started  crying and telling,

“Hey Rama, Hey Lord of the world, Hey hey Rama,

Hey rama, Hey , hey the lord of my soul,

Oh son how will you go in to  the deep forest,

After going away from me?”

He went on telling many such things,

Shed tears and was telling unsteady words and again cried,

Hugged him tightly and again hugged him,.,

And then  left out several hot breaths,

And seeing his father  who was greatly upset,

Rama washed his face with cold water,

And told him several words of consolation,

Which were really great   and that

Great diplomat further consoled him

“yenthinen thathan  vrudaiva  Dukhikunnu,

Why does my father unnecessarily become sad?

Oh king , how is this a punishment?

For protecting the truth , we have,

No dearth of strength for these two,

My  brother will rule over the country,

And I would comfortably live in the forst,

If we analyze  It is more  comfortable ,

To live in the foest rather than to rule the country,

It is good that My mother has alloted to me with love,

A  job which is not difficult to do.

I will  salute my mother Kausalya,

Tell  Maithili about the news,

And would come soon to depart., he said.

That god  went to his mother’s palace,

And there  that mother who was a follower of Dharma,

Was conducting fire sacrifice  and worship,

By well  acknowledged Brahmins,

 For  the orderly progress of her son.

She also gave monetary gifts to many,

And she with devotion established the feet of God,

In her mind and was in deep meditation,

And  did not see her son who had come there.

At  the  end   Sumithra  with happiness,

Went   to Kausalya   and told,

“Rama  has come , have  you not seen,

Oh Darling of the king , please see “

And then  seeing Rama who is saluting her,

 Slowly  she caught hold of him and caressed him,

And then she  made him sit on her lap  ,

Then smelt his  head and  smelled with joy,

That   black body  which was like blue sapphire,

And slowly patting  him she told,

“My son, is there  any reason that,

Your face should look  wan and faded?

Are you hungry, if so  sit down to eat.”

And when his mother  told him like this,

Rama suppressed  his great sorrow,

And told his mother as follows.

“Ippol  bhujippan avasaram illamme,

Kshipram  aaranya vasithinnu poganam,

Mulppadu  kekaya puthriyyaya ammakku,

“Now there is no time to eat,

I have go urgently to live in the forest,

Long  ago my father  had  given,

Two boons to my mother who is the daughter of Kekaya,

One was to make  Bharatha rule the country,

And the other  was that  I should go to the forest.

And live  there  for fourettn years,

As soon as it is over , I would come back without delay,

Oh mother , please live with satisfaction till then,”

 As soon as Kausalya  heard the words of Rama,

She fainted  and fell on the ground,

Then when she woke up, she started,

Crying and crying as she was drowned in the ocean of sorrow,

And she  then told her  son,

” Suppose  you go to the  forest today,

Without hesitation take me also there,

For  I cannot live without you even for half a second.”

If you go to the  Dandakaranya forest today,

I would go  to the home of the god of death,

Is it possible  to tell and describe ,

The sorrow of the cow which has parted with the calf,

If Bharatha has  to rule  this country,

Is there a law  that you should go to the forest.

To Kaikeyi or  for that matter , your father,

I and your father  are equally elders to you,

And suppose father tells you to go  and suppose,

I oppose  it and tell you not to go,

Suppose  you disobey me  but obey your father ,

I would definitely put an end to my life ,

And that  will lead to the destruction of humanity.”

Lakshmana who was standing there  with a burning mind,

With  fire in the eyes   and full of sorrow and  anger,

As if to   burn the entire world in fire,

“What  is the reason for all these  sorrow?”

Lunatic minded, a zombie , an old man ,

One  who is slave to ladies , one who is restless ,

And one who is adamant   is  our father,

And I am saying let us   arrest our father,

And  all those who are against  us,

And kill  them  instead  of  needlessly ,

Being sad about it  and without any problem,

Celebrate  the coronation  and ,

There  is no need to  become sad for this,

Oh mother   become happy,

And let us celebrate  the coronation  of the great son,

And definitely I have the valour to do that,

And  if even our  Guru starts  to do,

Things that  are unjust , we have to discipline him.

After telling like this   when Lakshmana   was ,

Standing ferociously  as if to burn the entire world,

After  breaking in to a slow smile , speedily,

And with joy ,   he was  tightly and firmly  embraced  by,

The pretty one, one who is   the darling of Goddess Lakshmi,

One who is joyful, , one who is of the colour  of bee,

One who has eyes like blue lotus , One who is  ,

Worsipped along with music by Indra  and the group of devas,

One who is like the full moon , One who is dear  to Lord Shiva,

And One who is like a wish giving tree  to his  devotees.
