Tannistha
Part1
Brahmaji and all other gods offer their regards to lord ram and then leave. Lord ram and mother sita in turn offers them their pranam . next appears the soul of king dasarath in his heavenly grace.
Dasarath blesses all the three of them and address them: he says:
Ram you have saved me, you spent 14 valuable years of your life in the forests to fulfil my promise, no father will get a son like you. May the world forever remember you.
Laxman you are the epitome of serving your elder brother. To serve him , you gave away your life and luxury at palace, you will always be remembered for this.
Janki, you served your pativrat dharma so well that you have spread the scent of fame of your father and your in laws all over the universe. May you always be blessed and fortunate.
Dasarath offers ram a boon, he tells him to ask for it without hesitation, ram asks:
Please take back your curse on mother Kaikeyi, you abandoned her in the end, please take it back. Please let it not touch her, please take her back. If I cannot free my mother of her pain, my life is vain and wasted.
D: ram , my son! You are great, I take back my curse.
Ram offers dasarath his final pranam. Then dsarath departs and everyone sings the glory of mother sita.
Apparently it is heard in Ayodhya too. Kaushalya says to Urmilla, that it seems I can hear the sound of people singing glory of ram and Sita from here only.
Hearing this Urmilla, Sumitra and Shrutakirti becomes Happy!
But Urmilla's eyes r filled with tears.
Kaushalya tells her that even her wait is over finally!
Sumitra also consoles her saying, you have greet Laxman with smiles. Kaushalya suggests that they celebrate the festival of light. The trio must see Ayodhya just as they left it.
But Sumitra breaks down in tears and says something has definitely changed. When they were with us, we were not like this, now we don't have sindoor , we are widows, our king has left us.
