Ramas thoughts aloud

Rama was telling Lakshmana about his fears.Kousalya had become desolate and lonely.May be Kaikeyi would harm her!Please entrust my mother to Bharatha. May be Kousalya did a great wrong in her previous birth. That was why she was suffering so much in this life.Rama was detesting himself for leaving her mother in time of need.She brought him up with so much care, love and affection. But now he had left her.No one should have a son like him.His mother had a pet parrot who advised Kousalya to bite Kaikeyis feet as a revenge. He could not do even that much of help except giving her torment.If he lost his temper he would destroy the entire universe. But that was not the time for showing valour. He did not go for enthronement just because it was not rightful.

Lakshmana then stopped Rama saying that if talked like that Seetha and himself would be depressed.He was not interested in saying anyone by leaving Rama.Rama intended Lakshmana to speak thus. Actually these were Lakshmanas line of thought. If Rama spoke first then Lakshmana would realise how wrong thosw thoughts were.So from then onwards Lakshmana would not talk like that.See how tactful Rama was !
