Padmapurana
Seeing Siddhayoga Muni with tearful eyes and heavy sorrow evident in his very form, Narada asked, "O Kalyani, from whom have you received this disrespect, causing you to weep? The reason for your sorrow is not apparent." ||13-14||
You are the well-known daughter of the great king, praiseworthy, and the wife of Dasharatha, known as Aparajita. ||15||
You are the mother of the jewel among men, Shri Rama, blessed with excellent qualities, and worthy of respect like a deity. The wicked one who has angered you, will be punished by the mighty King Dasharatha, who encompasses the entire world with his prowess, and will take his life today. ||16-17||
In response, Devi Kausalya said, "O Devarsha, you have arrived after a long time, hence you are unaware of this news and are speaking thus." ||18||
"It seems you have become someone else, and your cruelty has increased, otherwise why does your old affection appear so weak?" ||19||
"Why have you not received this news even till now? It seems you are fond of traveling and have just arrived from somewhere far away." ||20||
Narada said, "In the eastern region of the Dhaataki Khand-island, there is a city called Surendra-Raman, where the Tirthankara Bhagwan was born." ||21||
"Indra, along with the gods and demons, performed his birth ceremony on Mount Sumeru with wondrous divine splendor." ||22||
"I witnessed that abhisheka of the Tirthankara Bhagwan, who destroys all sins and promotes virtuous deeds." ||23||
"The gods, filled with joy, danced in celebration, and the Vidyadharas adorned themselves with radiant splendor." ||24||
"Engrossed in the vision of the Jinenadra, I resided happily on that extremely captivating island for twenty-three years." ||25||
"However, remembering this Bharat-kshetra, which is like a mother to me, and the great patience it has instilled in me, I have returned here after a long time." ||26||
"Having arrived in the Bharat-kshetra of Jambudvipa, I have not gone anywhere else, and have come directly to see you, thirsty for knowledge of the news." ||27||
