dasarathas plight

Kaikeyi threatened to take her life if her wish was not fulfilled. She did not even like take the name of Kousalya. She mentioned her as Ramas mother. Dasaratha was helpless. H efainted and got up after some time.H easked her as to who poisoned her mind.AS Bharatha was arighteous person he would not accept throne.If he did like that other kings would surely blame him.Because of her Dasaratha had done injustice to Kousalya in the past.Inspite of it, Kousalya always wished him well.She served him like a servant,she used to make him happy like a friend,as a wife, as a sister, and as a mother she would behave according to the situation.As he was afraid of Kaikeyis wrath, he could not do any justice to Kousalya in the past.Now if he sent Rama to the forest, what answer he could give to Kousalya.

Dasaratha was pleading with her like this. Kaikeyi herself told that o go back on ones words is wrong.Then he told in the RAJASABHA that he is enthroning Rama the nextday. IF he did not abide by his words what would the people think of him?They would think that he was wavering type.Sumithra would would be afraid that if the king could send even Rama to the woods, what would be the plight of her son?People would losw confidence in him.Seetha would not withstand this cruelty towards Rama.If thes e things happen, it is sure that he would die.He cursed her to become a widow and rule the country along with Bharatha.
