In the Ramayana, Bharat had told Sri Ram during their last
meeting at Chitrakoot that he would not wait for a minute longer once 14 years
of exile were completed. If Rama’s arrival were delayed even by a day, he would
end his life by jumping into a burning pyre. Hanuman saved Bharata from
committing suicide.
Bhagavan Sri Ram who had foreseen this had asked Hanuman to
dash off to Ayodhya and inform about his arrival.
When Hanuman reached Ayodhya, he saw a determined Bharata
who was getting ready to jump into fire.
Hanuman went to a tree near the firepit and sat on the branch of a nearby tree.
Immediately, Hanuman began narrating the story of Lord Ram.
He narrated the story from the birth of Lord Ram to his killing of Ravana and
his return journey and the arrival at Bharadwaja Muni’s ashram.
Bharata now wiped his tears and abandoned the idea of ending
his life.
He got ready to welcome Lord Ram who was now stationed at
the Ashram of Sage Bharadwaja.
