“Therefore, you needs must redeem the king’s word; cherish your subjects and cease to grieve. The king in heaven will derive solace, while you will earn merit and good fame and shall incur no blame. It is well known in the Vedas and has the sanction of all that the crown goes to him on whom the father bestows it. Therefore, rule the kingdom, feel no remorse and accept my advice as salutary. RŒma and Videha’s daughter (S¶tŒ) will be gratified when they hear of it and no wise man will call it wrong. KausalyŒ and all the other mothers too will be happy in the happiness of the people. Nay, he who will know the supreme affinity between you and RŒma will have perfect goodwill towards you. When RŒma returns home you may hand over the kingdom to him and serve him with ideal affection.” (1—4) four of them declined. It was only the fifth and youngest son, Puru, who willingly parted with his own youth and accepted the old age of his father. After enjoying life for a few more years YayŒti got disgusted with the world and retired to the woods, returning the youth of his youngest son and crowning him king in preference to his elder brothers, who had all disappointed him. Even though YayŒti had made use of his son’s youth in enjoying life with his mother, the son incurred no sin because he had agreed to this arrangement only to please his father and made a unique sacrifice for his sake. 506 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA*
