BHARADWAJAS FEAST

Bharadwaaja called for Viswakarma and everything was made ready.Rivers came to the abode of Bharadwaaja.In some of the rivers wine flew.In others quality drinks flew.Apsaras came down.Kuberas chaithraratha vanam came .Different varieties of food items were present.Garlands.spices and condimets were present.Apsaras danced and gandharvas sang songs.Buildings rose up for accomodation.Kings palace was created.All facilities were present there.There were oulits to lie down and carts for transportation.Bharatha entered that palace.Ministers and purohiths followed him.That palace had huge kings chair and assembly hall.Bharatha circled them with reverence and sat in the appropriate seat.Ministers also sat in proper places.Rivers of kheerannam were flowing before bharatha.On either side of those rivers,big buildings came up.Celestial dancers came in thousands and danced before him.Narada,Thumbura and Gopudu came and sang before him. Plants,bushes,shrubs,creepers and trees of  Chaithraradhavanam brought happiness to the eyes of the viewers.Various flowers released scented smell into the air.
Let us look at the artillery persons of Bharatha.Creepers became women and told them to enjoy the day.For each person,ten beautiful women attended.They gave them oil and massage bath,gave them wine and  feasted them.All the soldiers enjoyed very much.They refused to goto either Ayodhya or dankaranya forest.Let Rama be well.This alone is heaven.There is no heaven other than this.
Bharadwaja gave this test to Bharatha.Because when he was unhappy in his uncles house,his friends resorted to refuel him by making him indulge in such material pleasures.All this shows that he was alavish person enjoing his life in full.If kingdom comes unasked for such a person he has various ways and means to fulfil his worldly pleasures.
But Bharatha did not waver in his decision to hand over the kingdom to Rama.Other common people forgot their determination and indulged in these pleasures.Entire night went on like this.By the morning all these creations vanished.Here and there some garlands which were crumpled were lying on the ground.
