Swamy PL
clearly highlights Kaikeyi in the case scenario where even a mother cannot
protect her son. Kaikeyi was the one who commanded Rama through Dasaratha to go
on exile. She also requested Dasaratha to make Bharata the king of Ayodhya.
Bharatan's vaibhavam in Ramayanam is even more than that of Lakshmanan and Raman
in some instances. Rama was the most dearest son of Dasaratha. He always used to
concern about his father's happiness. On the otherhand, Dasaratha always used to
concern about Rama and his happiness. Azhwars also were in the same state with
Perumal. They used ot joyously sing on Perumal with parivu, and infact pongum
parivu (PeriyAzhwar) whereas Perumal used to worry more about Azhwars'
happiness.
Rama though
was an AgyAkAri putram, still was not able to satisfy Dasarathan as he did not
bother about himself. In this aspect Dasaratha used to be proud of Lakshmana as Lakhmana
used to completely take care of Rama. Lakshmana showed complete ShEshatvam to
Rama. Bharata's vaibhavam is much more than this one. He showed complete
pAratantra jnAnam. He behaved like an object without life in front of Rama.
He was ready to do whatever Rama commanded. At one point of time in Ramayana, he
said that "rAjyamum, naanum Ramanukku sondham". He combined both the
life-less object and himself in the above
statement.
Kaikeyi was
supposed to have facilitated ishta prApti and anishta nivrutti for her son.
Instead she acted the other way. Ishta prApti refers to the means to nitya
kaimkaryam where as anishta nivrutti refers to eliminating the obstacles in
the way of attaining nitya kaimkaryam. Considering the vaibhavam of Bharata,
even the son of that calibre was not protected by his
mother.

The story
of Prahalada is well known to everyone. He was tortured by all means to recite
Hiranya's name instead of Narayana mantram. Again, a son of the
calibre of Prahalada who showed complete bhakti on Perumal was not protected by
his father.

When
pandavas went for the game of dice with kauravas, they lost everything. During
that time, Dharmaputra did not wan to accept the defeat. He wrongly perceived
Draupadi as his property and gambled with her. Eventually they lost the game and
Draupadi was ill-treated by kauravas before she was protected by Krishna when
she surrendered to Him.
Nalan was a great
king. Due to some reason he had lost a war with the king of another
desam, and had to leave the entire kingdom to him. One night, he and his wife
were staying in a chowtry. Naln was very much disturbed and was not able to
sleep properly. He thought that he will no longer be able to protect his life,
and hence left her alone. Later he became a charioteer for a king.
His made his wife to leave in dire circumstances. He showed her the path
to her parents' house, thus leaving her is distress -neRi

PL has clearly highlighted examples of how all the close relations
fail to protect a soul. Infact in all the cases, only Perumal has protected these souls finally. Let
us look into the aspect of how other devatas also fail to protect a soul in the
following postings.
