RAMA LEAVES CHITHRAKOOTA

Some sages were residing in chithrakoota near by Ramas abode.But after Bharathas arrival they were of the opinion to leave that place.They were talking in low voices pointing at Rama by their looks.They even seemed to be afraid of him.Rama could not understand their gestures and talked to their head.

He enquired if they had any trouble either with Lakshmana or Seetha.Kulapathi convinced him that Seetha was such a good natured woman.She would never dream of displeasing sages.She would never behave in awrong manner.

Kulapathi said thatthey were facing trouble from rakshasas.Ravana had a brother named Kharudu.He was very atrocious.He would kill and eat men.He creates troubles for sages while they are doing yagnas and yagas.His atrocities increased from the time rama started living there.He killed some of the sages also.So they wanted to move to a new and safer place away from Khara.He is sure to trouble Rama also.So if they wanted ,they too could come with them.

Rama tried to uplift them from fear but they went to another asramam.Rama also thought that if he stayed there ,Bharatha and others would be remembered quite frequently.Bharathas elephants and horses made the place dirty and unhygenic.So,it would be better for them also to leave that place and live in another asramam.
