Ramayana part -3

 Welcome dear friends to another episode of the Ramayana . In the previous episode we learnt how Rama and Lakshmana were sent to the forest with  sage Vishwamitra  and how Rama killed the demons  in the forest. After the pooja  was over , the pleased sage Vishwamitra took them to the court of king Janaka ,who had arranged a competition in his kingdom . The king then announced , " the person to lift  the bow and  brake it wins the hand of my daughter Sita" . Many kings came forward for the challenge , but no one was strong enough to lift the heavy bow . King Janaka was very disappointed  . Finally Rama came forward and lifted the bow easily and broke it into two halves . King Janaka was overjoyed . the wedding  was celebrated with great pomp . A few days after the marriage , Rama was going to be crowned the next king . Everyone was excited especially Kaikai . She loved Rama very much . But her evil maid mantra hated Rama . In order to not make Rama the king , .she poisoned Kaikai 's mind too  . Mantra went to Kaikai 's chambers and said " Kaikai you are very excited about Rama 's coronation . But you are making a terrible mistake . Only the child born to you is your rightful heir . do not trust Rama Kaikai I am warning you " . but Kaikai said " why should I not be happy Rama is equal to me as my son so hence I am happy" . Mantra said  " You are making a terrible mistake Kaikai  You should be worrying about Bharata's coronation not Rama's .  Kaikai said  "but how do I ask the king for such a  wish ?  Mantra replied " remember you saved the king in a battle and he  promised you two boons .   make Bharata the king   using these two boons. Kaikai agreed
