#044 SET YOUR MIND ON SUGRIVA OR VIBHISHANA OR BHARATA OR LAKSHMANA OR SATRUGHNA


Which husband will ask his wife to set her mind on his friends and relatives? Rama was asking Sita to set her mind on Sugriva or Vibhishana or Bharata or Lakshmana or Satrughna!!!

tadadya vyaahritam bhadree
mayaitat kritabuddhinaa
Lakshman`ee vaa tha Bharate
kuru buddhim yathaa sukham (22)


Shatrughne vaa tha Sugriivee
raakshase vaa Vibhiishan`ee
niveshaya manaha Siitee
yathaa vaa sukha maatmanaha (23)

CONTEXT
Rama killed the Ravana. Vibhishana brought Sita into Rama's presence. Rama says these words, seeing Sita.

gist
Oh secure lady! I am declaring this today, with a determined mind. Set your mind on Lakshmana or Bharata as is comfortable to you.

Alternatively, set your mind, as per your convenience, on S`atrughna, Sugriva or Vibhishana.

BLOGGER'S COMMENTS
*How should a husband/lover when he first sees his wife/beloved, brought back after suffering some great hardships, behave? He has to hug her or at least hold her hands with compassion and empathy. He has to enquire about her travails. This duty, the King Rama omitted.

*Can a husband say: You go to some Mr. X or Mr. Y or Mr. Z? Suggesting names, is none of his business.
