KAIKEYI SUCCUMBS
RAMAYANA
KAIKEYI who had looked upon Raama as her own son, was enmeshed in Manthara's arguments and become helpless.
"Indeed, I am afraid," she said ," Tell me what we should do. Am I to be a servant to Kausalya? Never, Bharata must be crowned , You are quite right. And Raama must sent to forest. But how shall we get all this done? Tell me. you are clever and know the way."
And she clung to Manthara. In Kaikeyi;s eyes at that time Manthara's crooked frame appeared handsome. This is not a joke, it is a subtle psychological phenomenon.
"This is indeed strange, Kaikeyi," said Manthara. "Is it for me to tell you how this could be brought about? Have you really forgotten? Or, are you only pretending? But if you want me to say it, I shall do so, Listen,"
And then she paused Kaikeyi, all impatient,cried:"Tell me something Bharata must be crowned and Raama coronation must be stopped."
"Very Well, "said Manthara, " I shall tell you . Do not impatient. You remember how your husband Dasaratha, long ago, fought against Sambara in the south? And you were with him, were you not? your husband went, did he not, to help Indra? Sambara of Vaijayanthi was too powerful for Indra,Who sought Dasaratha's help. Did not Dasaradha get wounded in battle and loss consciousness? Then you drove his chariot skillfully out of the battle field, gently removed the arrows from his body and revived him and saved his life. Have you forgotten all this.?

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: One who is unattached to the fruits of his work and who works as he is obligated is in the renounced order of life, and he is the true mystic, not he who lights no fire and performs no duty.

What is called renunciation you should know to be the same as yoga , or linking oneself with the Supreme, O son of Pandu, for one can never become a yogi unless he renounces the desire for sense gratification.
6-3
For one who is a neophyte in the eight fold yoga system, work is said to be the means; and for one who is already elevated in yoga, cessation of all material activities is said to be means.
6-4
A person is said to be elevated in yoga when, having renounced all material desires, he neither acts for sense gratification not engages in fruitive activities.

పోతనభాగవతము
ఇంకా ఒక విశేషం ఉంది. పృథివీ వికారమైన దారువు కంటే ధూమం విశిష్టమయింది. ధూమం కంటే యజ్ఞసాధకమైన అగ్నివిశిష్టమయింది. అదే విధంగా తమోగుణం కన్నా రజోగుణమూ, రజోగుణంకన్నా పరమాత్మను దర్శింపజేసే సత్వగుణమూ ఉత్తమ మయింది. పూర్వం మహర్షులు సత్వస్వరూపుడూ, భగవంతుడూ, అధోక్షజుడూ అయిన శ్రీవారిని సేవించారు
