LOrd Kigna appeared in Ayodhyā as Lond Rāmacandra. His activities were recorded by Vālmki Muni through the world renowned epic poem, the Rāmayana. He appeared accompanied by
His internal energy and eternal consort Sitadevi, His brothers Lakṣmaṇa, Nakula, and Sahadeva, who represent His first main expansions; also by His eternal monkey servant, Hanumān, who plays an important role in this pastime. The Vedas conclude that the Absolute Truth should be known in five transcendental aspects: the Supreme Person, His plenary portion, His incarnation, His energies and His devotees. Thus, Śrī Kṛṣṇa should not be thought of as being alone but should be considered as eternally existing in all His manifestations. Kṛṣṇa's energies, expansions, and incarnations are considered to be oneness in diversity, Kṛṣṇa is not separated from all of these.
King Daśaratha of Ayodhyā had two wives, Kauśalyā and Kaikeyi. Lord Rāma was the son of Kauśalyā, and Bharata was the son of Kaikeyi. When King Daśaratha was quite old, he decided to install his favorite son, Rāma, as king. However, Queen Kaikeyi came to fear that after coronation she and her son would be banished from the kingdom.Therefore she devised a plot to deprive Lord Rāma of Hisrightful claim to the throne.
Previously, when King Daśaratha had been in battle, he was severely wounded and lay unconscious on the ground. At that time Kaikeyi had tended to his injuries and nursed him back to health. For that the king promised her two benedictions. Now she approached him and requested that he fulfill her two requests. Kaikeyi said, "Let my son, Bharąta, be installed as king. Also, let Rāma live in the forest as a hermit for fourteen years." Because of his righteousness, King Daśaratha could not refuse the request of his wife. Thus the preparations that had been made for the coronation of Lord Rāma were used for the coronation of Bharata, and Rāma was banished to the forest. Out of love, Rāma's consort, Śrīmatī Sītā- devī, accompanied Him, as did His younger brother Lakṣmaṇa.
