A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACARIYA峁�
K盲艣mir墨 R膩m膩yu峁嘺 (Bulcke-p.325) blame Sarasvati. In the Adhyatma
Ram膩ya峁嘺 (2.1.33-28) it is also mentioned that a day before the
coronation of R膩ma, N膩rada goes to Ayodhy膩 and reminds R膩ma of
his promise to lighten the burden of the earth by killing R膩va峁嘺.
R膩ma then accepts his advice and promises to enter the forest rather
than accept the kingdom. Further at the time of Kaikeyi's demand
for his exile, he consoles his father saying that his exile is meant
for the accomplishment of the wishes of the gods (devak膩rya峁� c膩pi
bhavi峁�yati 2.3.75). Thus Kaikey墨 is saved from being blamed.
Ananda R膩m膩ya峁嘺 (1.6), the K膩艣mir墨 R膩m膩ya峁嘺 and the interpolated
portions of some versions of the R膩macaritam膩nasa also contain this
account (Bulcke, p.319). In the Ramalingam峁泃a, Kaikey墨 tells R膩ma,
after his return from Lank膩, that she sent him in exile for killing
R膩vana as she was induced by the Devendra (Sarga 12) to do so
(Bulcke-p.207).
The
There are some works which make Pit膩maha (Brahm膩) responsible
for the exile of R膩ma. According to the R膩mop膩khy膩na (MB,3.269.9-10),
Gandharv铆 Dundubhi was commissioned by the Pit膩maha to be born
as Manthar膩 for bringing about the destruction of Da艣gar墨va by exiling
R膩ma. The Gau岣嵞珁a version of Padmapur膩峁嘺 (P膩t膩lakha峁囜笉a ch. 15)
and the Ananda R膩m膩ya峁嘺 (1.2.3) mention the same thing.
Then there are certain works which tell us that the enmity of
Manthara with R膩ma was responsible for that unhappy episode. The
Agnipurana (6.8) mentions that Rama had insulted Manthar膩, hence.
the latter put him in trouble. According to the Telugu R膩m膩ya峁嘺 of
Ranganatha (2.3) R膩ma had fractured a leg of Manthar膩. The
Seri R膩ma and the R膩ma Kiyena mentiou that R膩ma had pierced an
arrow into the hump of Manthar膩. According to the Satyop膩khy膩na
the enmity between Manthar膩 and R膩ma in their previous life be-
came the cause of the exile of R膩ma (Bulcke,p. 326).
According to the PCV, R膩ma voluntarily prefers exile to crown.
Kaikey墨 does not demand his exile. There are some non-Jaina works
.which agree with this point of the PCV.
The Dasaratha J膩taka and the Dasaratha Kath膩nam mention that
Kaikeyi demanded only the coronation of Bharata. But Dasaratha
being suspicious of the intrigues of the mother of Bharata sent R膩ma
and Lak峁�ma峁嘺 away from his territory for twelve years. According
to the An膩makam J膩taka the king voluntarily retired to the forest to
avoid battle with his maternal uncle.
According to the Tibetan R膩m膩ya峁嘺, Dasaratha was unable
to decide whether R膩ma or his younger brother should be made the
