The chapter Twenty Eight in Devi
Puranam, Maharishi Veda Vyasa describes the life Lord Rama to the King
Janamejaya.
The divine marriage of four
sons of King Darasaratha took place in the city of Mithala in a grand
manner. As the time passed by, King Darasatha felt the need of
the new heir to the throne. Obviously, Rama was selected
as the heir to the throne - The Kingdom of Ayodhya. The whole Ayodhya and
its people heartily accepted and prepared to receive the new King of
Ayodhya. At this point of time, a new twist to the story began at
the palace. King Dasaratha met his wife Kaikeyi and found her
totally different than her usual form. The conflict
between them led nowhere and finally King Dasaratha had
to bow down to her wishes. Kaikeyi placed her two
conditions before the King, one was that her son Bharata should be appointed as
the heir to the throne and Rama should be banished from Ayodhya for
fourteen years. Thus, Rama left Ayodhya with Lakshman and Sita as
per the wish of His step mother.
Soon after His
separation from Rama, the unexpected turn of events made King
Dasaratha heart broken with grief and he took his last breath.
Rama along with Lakshman and Sita, continued their journey through the forests.
They constructed a hermitage and continued to live in Panchavati.
One day, the youngest sister
(shoorpanaga) of the demon king Ravana approached Rama enthused at
his charisma. Rama cut her nose and ears and made her
disfigured. This made a huge stir amongst the demon king, Khara and
Dooshana went to fight against Rama. Rama killed both the
demons. Shoorpanaga approached her brother Ravana and illustrated the
entire events to him. The furious Ravana approached his uncle Maricha and
they together made a wicked plan against Rama.
