Therinda Puranam Theriyadha Kathai - told by Kollam Grandmother

Recently my Grandmother from kollam told me this. This is rare as this comes from the old times. Some of the Subtleties are really out there straight from the ancient knowledge and I would like to share this. In Ramayana, it is said that Kaikeyi actually wanted to send Rama to the forest out of her deep love for Rama, not withstanding the fact that she was subdued and tricked into doing this by Manthara. The Subtle fact here is that as part of the curse that Dasaratha received during his fateful hunting expedition, he would loose his beloved Rama just like how Shravanas blind parents lost their beloved son Shravana. Kaikeya who was so fond of Rama wanted to actually prevent this from happening and found that by sending Rama to exile, Rama would not be affected by the curse and would live to rule the Kingdom again. This is termed as Therinda Puranam Theriyadha Kathai in Tamil.
