Dasharatha meeting Sri Rama after Ravana was slain
(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 119)
• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama meeting Dasharatha after killing Ravana.• King Dasaratha meeting Sri Rama: Then Lord Shiva told Sri Rama that king Dasharatha who has gone to the abode of Indra has come to see him in an aerial car. Sri Rama and Lakshmana saluted their father. Dasharatha told Sri Rama that he is not happy with him even in heaven. Today, seeing and embracing him, his sorrows are gone. Dasharatha then told that his forest exile of fourteen years is over and he has fulfilled the purpose of the gods by killing Ravana. He should now return to Ayodhya and bring joy to Bharata and Kaushalya. Then becoming consecrated as the king, establish Dharma in the world. Sri Rama told Dasharatha to extend his grace to Bharata and Kaikeyi since he earlier decided to disown them. King Dasharatha agreed. Then Dasharatha said to Lakshmana that he has accrued great merit by serving Rama who is the Supreme person. Dasharatha told Sita that she should not cherish any anger towards Rama for making her undergo the fire ordeal, since it was only to demonstrate her purity. Rama is indeed her deity. Thus saying, Dasharatha went back to the abode of Indra.
