  • Manthara, (also Kooni in some versions) in the Hindu epic Ramayana, is a servant who convinced Kaikeyi that the throne of Ayodhya belonged to her son Bharata and that Rama should be exiled from the kingdom. Manthara is described in the Ramayana as a hunchback, and extremely ugly. A family servant of Kaikeyi, she lived with her from the time of her birth. When she hears that King Dasaratha is planning to make his oldest son, Rama prince regent (rather than Bharata, his child by Kaikeyi), she flies into a rage and reports the news to Kaikeyi. Although Kaikeyi is initially pleased, Manthara convinces her that is Rama comes into power, he will have Bharata exiled or killed in order to eliminate a possible threat to his power. After convincing Kaikeyi of her danger, she suggests that scheme that will result in Rama's banishment. Manthara appears only once in the Ramayan after Rama's banishment. Having been rewarded by Kaikeyi with costly clothing and jewels, she is walking in the palace gardens when Bharata and his half-brother Satrughna come upon her. Seeing her, Satrughna flies into a violent rage over Rama's banishment, and assaults her murderously. Kaikeyi begs Bharata to save her, which he does, telling Satrughna that it is a sin to kill a woman, and that Rama would be furious with them both if he does such a thing. He relents and the brothers leave, while Kaikeyi attempts to comfort Manthara. Although in the Ramayana, Manthara's motives for inducing Kaikeyi to have Rama banished are never stated, other sources turn her into a divine agent, doing what is necessary to ensure that Rama will come into conflict with Ravana. Thus the Mahabharata and Padma Purana describe her as an apsara sent to Earth to accomplish that goal, while the Ramacharitamanas describes her as a "wicked handmaid" whose mind Sarasvati further corrupts to make her desire Rama's banishment. Despite appearing in a variety of sources, the idea of Manthara as a divine agent is not universally accepted; in a major commentary on the Ramayana, the Amrtakataka, Kataka Madhava Yogindra rejects the idea, calling its originator (who he does not name) "the master of equivocation. " Madhvacharya in his Madhva Ramayana (Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya), clearly mentions her as an Avatara of Alakshmi (The Wife of The Demon Kali).
  • マンタラー(Mantarā)は、インドの叙事詩『ラーマーヤナ』に登場するせむし女で、アヨーディヤーのダシャラタ王の妃カイケーイーに仕える侍女。 もともとは孤児で、少女の頃からカイケーイーに養育されて育った。ラーマ王子がカイケーイーとその子バラタに害をなす存在であると盲信しており、ラーマの即位が決まったとき、カイケーイーにラーマを追放し、バラタを王位につけることをダシャラタ王に願うよう助言した。 ちなみに『マハーバーラタ』によると、マンタラーの前世はドゥンドゥビーというガンダルヴァの女で、ブラフマー神に命じられて人間界に転生し、人々の間に敵意をかき立てたのだという。
  • Manthara, no épico hindu Ramayana, é um servo que convenceu a Kaikeyi que o trono de Ayodhya pertencia ao seu filho Bharata, e que Rama deveria ser exilado do reino. Acredita-se que Indra, o rei dos deuses, pediu a Manthara que convencesse Kaikeyi a pedir a Dasharatha que exilasse Rama, pois só quando Rama se exilasse ele iria encontrar Ravana e matá-lo. Embora Manthara tivesse concordado em realizar a licitação de Indra, ela amaldiçoou Indra que, pelo mal que fez com Rama, ele nunca mais seria louvado por nenhuma família hindu. Essa é a razão pela qual Indra, apesar de ser o rei dos devas, nunca é adorado em nenhum templo ou família.
