Chandra,
I dont know when exactly Kaushalya mata and Sumitra mata gave their forgivenesses to Kaikaiye.
Sagars have shown it all the time them being together etc.
Ok, u dont have to give any comments on green saris but what about Bharat's hair?? I always thought (and have seen in other versions and pics) that Bharat also tied his hair up as he lived exactly the same life as Lord Rama did!
God, you have tracks of everything!!
ps u can also call me by my name as every1 else does!!!
I agree with you - Bharat's hair should have been shown tied.
In Valmiki, Kaikeyi was Dasharath's favorite (after that battle with Shambara), and known to have treated Kaushalya & Sumitra with disdain, even though Rama was her favorite. It was that hostility that Manthara capitalized on. In Ayodhya-kand Sarg 20:
[quote=Valmiki]On His way to Kaushalyaa's palace, He heard women weeping and saying - "Raam used to manage all jobs of all queens without even being told by His father and guarded their palaces. The same Raam is going to forest today by His parents' orders. He used to love everybody, if somebody had been unhappy, He used to make him happy. Today our stupid Raajaa has abandoned the same gem-like son. He has lost his mind." Hearing the loud cry of women Dashrath clung to his seat.
Raam saw an old gatekeeper sitting at the gate along with others. Seeing Raam coming all of them stood and pronounced "Jaya Ho" (victory be yours). Raam crossed first section and entered second section where Ved Paathee (who read Ved) Braahman blessed Him. Then He entered the third section where women and girls were guarding the gate. The women greeted Raam and informed Kaushalyaa who was sitting at Vedee (worshipping place), about coming of Raam.
When Raam arrived there, she, a lean and thin bodied, was worshipping Vishnu for the welfare of her son. Raam hugged His mother. There He saw many articles of worship: clarified butter, flower garlands, Kheer (rice boiled in milk), rice and peas cooked together, etc. Raam touched her feet. She hugged Him and said - "Your father is a man of true promise. He will install you today itself. Mother asked Him to sit down to have some food. Raam touched the Aasan and said - "Oh Maa, You don't know that a great dismay is approaching now which will leave you, Seeta and Lakshman in a great grief. I am going to Dandak Van so now I don't need this Aasan, I will be using Kush Aasan, because I have to live in forest for 14 years. I will eat fruits and roots instead of meat and other royal foods. Mahaa Raaj will crown Bharat and he has ordered me to go to forest. [So from now on] I will live like a Tapaswee in Dandak Van."
Hearing these words Kaushalyaa fell down on the floor. Raam lifted her up. She got up and said - "Raam, If you had not born to me then I could have thought that I was barren. You have born only to give me sorrow. I have not seen any prosperity or happiness before your birth when my husband was in power, so after your birth I thought I would see them when my son will come in power. I will have to tolerate my co-wife's misbehavior although I am more virtuous than them. Even when you are here I am being rejected what to say after you leave for exile.
My husband has always treated me lower than even the maidservants of Kaikeyee. O Raam, I have been waiting for 17 years after your second birth (threading ceremony or Yagyopaveet) - see Sanskaar, that my troubles will be over after some time. I cannot tolerate all this in this old age. How can I tolerate such miseries without seeing you? You were brought up by me by observing fasts, meditation, various difficulties and painful vows. There is no death for me too that is why Yam Raaj is also not calling me to his realm. I feel bad that all my charities, religious vows, meditation etc have gone waste. My life is useless here. I will also follow you as a weak cow follows her calf.
