Sarg 38-39 | |
Sarg 38 - Raam Sends Everybody Home Raajaa Janak lived in Ayodhyaa for a long time then one day Raam said to him - "You have maintained the relationship of Mithilaa and Ayodhyaa very well. I am very grateful to you for that. You must be feeling uncomfortable in living here so you might go back to Janak Puree." Janak Jee said - "You are right. I am very much satisfied to see your rule so now I can go back." And he went back to Janak Puree. After Janak Jee had left, Raam told very politely to Maamaa Yudhaajit that since Naanaa is very old now, so he should also go to Kaikaya Pradesh. Then Raam bade farewell to the king of Kaashee - Pratardan too. He sent off other 300 kings also who came from various countries, saying - "Because of you only we have been able to win Raavan. Hearing about the abduction of Seetaa, Bharat sent for you to help us in war. Undoubtedly, you have tolerated lots of troubles because of us. Now you may also go home." Kings said - "Hey Raam, We are extremely happy to see you along with Seetaa enthroned on Ayodhyaa's throne after killing Raavan. Whatever you have said about us it is your greatness. We only wish that we should always live in your heart. We are your obedient, ask for your love and now permit us to go." Sarg 39 - Raam Distributes Gifts to Vaanar Those kings started for their countries with their Akshauhinee army. On the way they were talking thus - "Bharat Jee called us late. If he had called us before, we could have shown our power and bravery in war." They all arrived in their respective countries. Later they sent some gifts to Raajaa Raam - horses, elephants, money, gems, jewelry etc. Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughn brought their gifts and kept them in front of Raam. Raam distributed those gifts among Sugreev, Vibheeshan and other Vaanar. Then Raam made Hanumaan and Angad sit in His lap and said to Sugreev - "Hey king of Vaanar, Your son Angad and minister Hanumaan have done a great job for me. Therefore both are worthy of respects." And He took off His own jewelry and put them on the bodies of Angad and Hanumaan. Then He said to all Vaanar - "Because of you only, today we are free from this great trouble. You are everything - friend, brother. I am very grateful for your kind help." And He gave gems etc to them too. They all lived there happily for one year.
