________________ 11 ** Dasaratha grants Kaikeyi a boon **** 3884453 33 20 228 200 0000 PILIP 96 31 Bharata expresses his desire to embrace an ascetic life: On reaching the palace, King Dasaratha sent for his family members and the assembly of the ministers. He then expressed his desire to become an ascetic. With folded hands, he asked them for their consent, but the wise Bharata intervened by saying, "If you have resolved to renounce this ephemeral world, pray allow me to join you as well; for I shall not be able to endure the pangs of your separation, and I will be exposed to the evil and vile world. I am too eager, to accept the oath of renouncement along with you. By serving you, I shall not only serve my father, but an ascetic as well. This will help me to atone atleast some of my wrong actions of the previous life." For Personal & Private Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.org
