6) this whole world,brahma gods,demons, under whpse maya these have undergone,By whose sathva as though to illuse rope only as snake ,this viewful world appears as true,and to those who make to cross this ocean of this world(bhava,iha,mundane world) whose feet are like  boat(tharani) ,cause of those causes  parathpara(higher than the high) praised by name rama lord hari my namaskarams.

 

7)Various kinds of ethics,veda,agamas  acceptable to,described in Ramayana,and got from other places Sri Raghunatha’s story,described by Thulasidasa ,for the joy of his mind(anthahkarana), in very beautiful   colloquial(conversational,everyday language) spreads.

 

By whose mere remembrance(smarane) all works are fulfilled,lord of charevters,elephant faced,mass of intellect, house of good charecters, such Ganesha let show grace to me.

 

By whose grace dumb becomes speaker,,lsame climbs  mountains, such kalimala  destroyer  god let show kindness to me.

 

 Who is blue hairs shyama, who is young –aruna lotus eyed,sleeper of milk ocean,residence of kindness,affectionate towards humble people,killer of kama   let such shankara bless me.

 

Ocean of kindness, human form Hari,fragrance of guru, tasteful and love rasaful,  to lotus feet I do namaskarams.That feet dust  sanjeevini mulika’s(herbs) powder, It can remove all worldly diseases.

 

That raja sukrithi form   on shiva’s body shining clean vibhuthi(sacred ash). That is mother f kalyana(welfare) and joy(ananda,bliss). It removes dirt  deposited on mirror of devotee’s mind. If it is kept on forehead  it is like  undertaking mass of good charecters.

As it appears  immdeately clean eyes of the heart open.Night called family ‘s defects and sorrows  wll go away. Let  bead manukya named  Sriramacharitha  be secret.Let it appear to eye.,ehere ever it may be appears as whitely white.appleying siddhanjana to eye, achievers(practitioners),siddhas,jnanies,in body of forest,hills, rathna mines only  so as to appear gurupadaraja also  like anjana to eyes,.Therefore defect of eye moves away. By that Anjana cleaning eyes called viveka  nyself from family bondage  getting relieved  Sriramacharitha I will describe.

 

VASANTHA AND VASANTHA  VANDANE(THANKS):

Before this Bhusuras (gods on earth)  I thank to feet of Brahmins.Because they can remove(solve) ignorance born  all doubts.mine of af all virtues(good charecters) to santha(saints) society  with ,love do namaskarams with beautiful words.

 

Santha’s life is good like  white cotton.it’s fruit is useless(nirasa),detailed, and charecterful.Santhas will be pure like cotton sense objectsless(vishasya shushka). Therefore rasaless.Cotton is white is it not?In theway heart of santhas will be away from  ignorance and sin  kalike.Therefore it is vishada(setail).In cotton there is character. In theame way life of santhas also is treasure  of charecters. Therefore charecterful. Santha like cotton only bearing sorrowa  covers others defects.sTherefore he has got  success in world.

  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Saint society is joyful,kalyanamaya(welfareful).That is  walking in this world thirtha king.In that santha called prayaga  there ganga flow of Rama devotion.,there is Saraswathi of  matter of spread (publivcity)of  Brahma vichara(enquiry).rulesful and forbidden karmas story itself is kalimala removing  Ravi daughter’s Yamune,stories of Vishnu and  shiva are shining like thriveni. They produce joy and welfare(kalyana) to listeners. In saint society called Prayaga  present in Dharma firm faith is akshyavata(banyan tree). Good karmas are  that thirtha king’s tools(parikara).It is available to all  in all country,all times to all naturally. Therefore it removes  sorrows of all those who  drimk it.In this way santha prayaga is  on loukika and untellable(akathaniya).Gives fruit immediately. It’s effect stands in front of eye.  This saint society called  thirtha king’s influence  who lisren with joyful mind,,they in this body only dharma(religion,value,ethics),Artha(money,wealth),kama(desires,lusts) amd Liberation (moksha),these four kinds of purusharthas  will be got.

 

In this thirthaking as soon as you bathe immediately fruit is got.Crow becomes cuckoo. Crane becomes  swan. On hearing this nobody need not keep figure on nose. Because greatness(mahime) is that much  clear.Valmiki.Narada,Agasthya, excrtras  by their mouth only have told their life news(story).Water moving, earthmoving(sthal achara),sky moving  excetra present in this world  in jada(inert) and Chethana(spirit) things,who ever may be,which ever may be ,where ever may be  how ever may be  intellect,fame, Liberation(sadgathi)treasure(wealth), and welfare(kalyana) if at all they have got  it is all due to fruit of sathsanga only like this it should be known.Other plans of getting all these  are not there either in vedas or in world.

 

Without sathsanga(company of sath,truth,good)  there will be no viveka(ability to decide good or bad,right or wrong). Without grace of Srirama, that sathsanga will not be got easily. Sathsanga is source of joy(bliss) and welfare(kalyana). Getting of sathsanga itself is fruit.  Other achievements(practices,sadhanas) are not not fruits but only flowers. Even wickeds will change from sathsanga.  By touch of touch stone(Sparsha shile,parusha shile) will not irn become gold.  But due to divine luck(daiva yoga)  in sajjanas(good people) fall to  bad facts ,there also they will  like serpent bead  will shine their character only. Brahma,Vishnu,Shiva,poet,and scholar’s  speech , also hesitates to describe greatness of santhas(saints). When it so is it possible by me? One who sells vegetables  can he describe charecters of Rathnas?In whose mind there is equanimity(samathva), when there is no friend and enemy to those santhas I do namaskarams. Flower in bogase(joined hands)  the hand which has cut it and  and protected hand  both fragrancing in same way  equally ,saints to both enemies and friends  wish welfare only.

 

Saints are simple minded.well wishers of world.realising their this nature  I request them.following this  my child rule  let them grace Rama charana Rathi.

 

Now I do namaskarams ro wickeds with clean mind. They without having any work do rightside to left side.That means they do wicked to those who do good to them.Loss of favour to other itself is  profit to them.If others get destroyed they are happy.If anybody comes forward sorrow. They are like Rahu  to full moon of success of  Hsariharas. To do wicked to others  they are valients like Sahasra bahu(thousand armed).  They see other’s defects with thousand eyes.To ghee of others favour their mind is like housefly..That means  in which way housefly falling to ghee, it also dies destroying ghee.In the same way  wickeds what others have done ,they they get wicked no worry, will destroy.

 

They are  in pain of making others to burn,  severe like fire.In anger  they are equal to javaraya(yama).   In money of sin and wickedness  they are kuberas. Their progress is  comet(dhumakethu)  destroying favour of all.It is better if they sleep. The hail stone(alikallu) fallen on  crop in land  destroying crop  that itself gets melted.they to give trouble to others  they renunciate(thyaga) their body only. Thinking them as thousand hooded adisheshas  I do namaskarams to them. Because they describe  others defects  full of their thousand mouths with anger emotions. Myself thinking them as pruthu king (he had requested for ten thousand ears to  listen god’s charecters listening) dedicate honour. Because they listen  others sins  with  ten thousand ears. Thinking them as equal to Indra  I thank them. To them liquors (sure) appears well.(Indra is suranika that means  lover of divine army)

 

To them harsh words  diamonds are always  lovable.They see others defects with thousand eyes. They don’t like favours of anybody like enemy,friend,nrglected(udasina).  They don’t tolerate anybody’s favour. They listen and get burnt. Knowing this I request them with love. I hace requested on my behalf. But how will they leave their habit? Crow can be protected with much love,but will it leave flesh?

 

Now I do namaskarams to both santha and non santha. Both produce sorrow.  But there is difference in one.Santhas  give sorrow when they depart .But non santhas  give sorrow while living only.  Both santhas separation and non santhas separation  both like death  give sorrow.

 

Both santhas and non santhas take birth in this world  in the same way. Lotus and jigule both take birt at once. Sadhu like Amrutha  makes to cross across death  non saint  like liquor produces mistakes,fascination,inertness(jadathe) .Giving birth to both  sea called world is same.

 

Good ,bad  people according to their karmas  eill get fame andillfame. Amrutha,gange,sadhu, and poison ,fire,and sn river of  Kaliyuga ,karma destruction,,karmas and violence producing  hunter, good and bad charecters of all these are known to all. But people according to their  tates ,choose them.If good person chooses good bad person chooses bad. Greatness of Amrutha  is in making deathless ,greatness of  poison is in killing.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sinof wickeds and bad charecters  and good charecters sre sadhus(saints) -both these stories are  unbound and unknown depth sea. Therefore few charecters and few defects are described here again again.because without knowledge of these accaeptance or rejection of these how is it possible?god,bad-both these brahma’s creation only.But thinking which is good and which is bad vedas have  classified. According to vedas,,history, and epics this creation  this creation is blend of charecters and bad charecters.

 

Jou-sorrow,sin-punya,day-night,sadhu-asadhumsajsathi-vijathi ,god-human,upper-lower,Amrutha-poison,life-death, maye-brahma,jiva-god,richness-poverty,king-ranka,kashi-magadha,gange-karma destroyer,maravada-malava,brahmana-buthcher,heaven-hell,raga-viraga(passion-dispassionm), excetras ar all there in Brahma creation.Vedas and scriptures have classified these into  charecters and defects.

 

Creater(vidhatha)  has created  this jada(inert)-chethana(spirit)  universe as chsarecters ans defectsful.s But santha -hamsaleaving defective water, grasps only  charecters of milk only. Brahma when graces   this kind of water milk viveka(ability to decide good and bad,right and wrong),,mind removing defects loves charecters.  Due to time,nature,and karma strength  even sajjanas(good people) also falling into net of maya, often miss the step,will commit mistake.God devotees correcting this mistake, removing sorrows and defects, as they make to get clean success, even wickeds also  often  by friendship of good peop;e  do good. But their dirty nature will never leave.

 

 Dress wearing cheaters  seing their dress  world  worships. But one or other dat their colour changes.  But their play won’t run long. Kalanemi,Ravana, and Rahu  fate of all these became like this only.even if one has worn bad sress  to sadhu honout is got.Jambavantha and Hanumantha only are exam ple to this. By sathsanga  profit and  dussanga(company of bad)  this truth vedas tell. All people know this.

 

By friendship of air dust rises and reaches sky. But same air  due to company of flowing down water  joind mud. Sadhu’s house parrot ,myna bitrds chant Rama Rama. Birds of non saint give scolds by counting. By company of bad  smoke and dirt is produced. But the same smoke  by sathsanga becoming beautiful ink  helps to write epics(puranas).  The same smoke  in company of water,fire, and air becoming cloud  donates jiva to world. Planet,medicine,water,air, and cloth -all these getting  company of good or bad  in world  result in  good thing or bad thing.Skilled intellects and  and enquiring people can know this.   

 

In both fortnights of month light and dark are equal. But vidhatha (lord)has made difference in name only.To one he has given name shuklapaksha and to another krishna paksha.world praises increasing moon and another  blames  decreasing moon.

 

POET’S  ATHMA NIVEDANE(SELF REQUEST)(SELF REPORT):

 What ever jada(inert) and chethanas (spirit) in world  thinking all of them as Ramamaya(ramaful)  to their lotus feet  I join hands and do namaskrams. God,demon,human,serpent,bird,devil(ghost) pithru,gandhatva, kinnara,nishachara(night mover),-to all of these I stretch my forehead. All of them show grace upon me.Among 84 lakh yonies (vaginias, wombs)these four kinds of jivas-svedaja,Andaja,Udhbija,and jarayuja- are present in water,earth,and sky.This world which is filled up by all these thinking as  Seetharama maya ,joining both hands I fall across(do namaskarams). Thinking me as your servent(dasa)  all of you who are mine of kindness , joining together,  stuntlessly(kapata rahitha,without cheating)  grace upon me.I describe charecters of Sri Ramanatha.  My intellect is small, Charthra history,behaviour ,conduct) of sri Rama is great.  To it  not even a small plan  is flashing to me. My  mind and intellects are beggers. But their mind desire is great. Dessire of doing amruthapana.  But in this world  there is no gathi(fate) even for butter milk.  Good people(sajjanas)  honouring my boldness,let listen  my stammering words with love. ssWhen child stammers first will not it’s parents listen  with joy? But wicked,bad enquirers, people wear  othr’s defects only as ornaments.  That means to them others defects are lovable.They enjoy  and laugh on seing it.

Let is be rasaful or useless(nirasa)  bthe poem which one has written  onself to whom it is not lovely?But who listen to other’s poems  and nod head are rare in this world.brother,getting water, like rivers and ponds which  increase by their floods only,people are more in this world. That means they are happy  by their own progress only.  But  seing and enjoying full moon, sea like people are veryless. My luck is small. Desire only is great. On listening  this people experience joy. Wickeds make fun.I believe this much only:Due to friendship of wickeds  to me good only happens.crows say cuckoo’s are having harsh  tone only.   Cranes laugh at swans. On seing chathaka birds frogs laugh .In the same way dirty minded  wickeds laugh on listening clean words.

 

Those who are not  kavya rasikas(poetry elegants) ,those who are not devotees of  Rama feet  this poen gives  good fun rasa taste. First of all this is poetry of colloquial language(jana bhashe).Secondly my  intellect  is that of child’s.s Therefore is it not laughable?  What is mistake if they laugh?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Without love in lord’s feet, to people without good knowledge, this story may be felt as  bland9tasteless).In whose ming there is love  in harihara’s feet,whose intellect is kutharka leena(not indulged in bad logic), to them the story of Raghuvara  will be sweet(melofious). Sajjanas(good people) this story is decorated by  rama’s devotionlike this  praise by good words and listen.I am not a poet. Not vachana writer also.all artsless and educationless. Various kinds of letters ,meaning,alankaras(figures of speech?),many kinds of meter bondages(chadobandhas),various differences of feel rasas,apart from these in poem  various kinds of  charecters and defects will be there.Among these,related to poetry not even one character is there in me.I write this on empty paper ,keep promise  and tell truth.

 

My work(krithi) is away from  all charecters.but there is one universal(vishwaviditha)  character is there.Enquiring about this, those who have good intellect,clean vivekies, listen this.In this there is raghupathied courteseous name(nama) is there. This is very much holy. This is summary of vedas and epics(puranas). This is house of Mangala. Remover of amangalas. This shiva will be always chanting with ume.Good poet might have written this.Might be good poetry also.  But it will not shine without rama nama(name). if a moonfaced lass  though has decorated in all ways  if she is clothless will she shine? As opposite to it, written by bad poet,without all charecters, poetry(poems)  also  as it is marked (Ankitha)  ramanama and fame  intellects will recite with honour.Listem\n. because saints(santhas)  like madhukara(bee) will be charecters grasping(gunagrahies). In my this poems there is not even one  rasa. But still in this rama’s valience has  appeared.

 

To me this is only boldness. By good company  to whom there will be no greatness.  Will not thred(fibre) get heaven through  flowers?Even smoke also  with friendship of  agaru Chandana(sandal)  getting fragrance loses it’s birth character of harshness.my poem is surely ugly.but in it there ramastory  which produces good(mangala) to  world.  Therefore such story people may like.

 

Accoding to thulasidasa  Sri Raghunatha’s story of mangala giving,remover of kalimala(kali’s dirt). This my ugly poem’s  walk is   bent (curved) like Ganga river  which has  holy  water.Lord srirama’s  company of Srirama’s beautiful success  this poem  cools people’s mind.Unholy ash of graveyard also  becomes vibhuthi by company of part(organ) of Shiva .is it not!If remembered  makes holy is it not?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

With company of success of Srirama, my poetry also  may become lovable to all.With company of Malaya mountain, even ordinary tree also  bcoming sandal tree becomes thankable.When like this will anybody  spoil head regarding  about inferiority(lownwss) of tree?If cow is black is it’s milk black?(It’s milk is also white) .Therefore only all drink it.In the same way though it is in rural language  fame of seetharama  sajjanas  sing, listen  with much interest.Bead,manikya,and pearl’s bright  will not shine that much on  serpent,mountain, and on elephant’s temple(kumbhasthala).If they are on  king’s crown,new lasses body these get brightness.In the same way poet’s poetry also takes birth somewhere,shines somewhere-like this scholars tell.

If poet remembers enough ,gracing to his devotion  Saraswathi runs and comes from  brahma world.As Saraswathi has run and come like this  the tiredness which is produced  if not bathed  in ramacharitha named  lake, though other crores of plans are done, it will not go.In this way enquiring like this in their heart  poet and scholars  remover of kalidirt  Sri Hari’s success  they will sing.

By doing  charecters singing of prakrutha people  Saraswathi hitting head, starts to repent.(Why I  came when these called?).Heart itself ia sea,intellect itself is shell, and sharade is equal to swathi star-like this sujnanies tell.In this water called high topic  in form of rain  if falls pearl like beautiful poem will appear.

 

This poem form  mukthamani  piercing with logis, if threaded through beautiful thread called Ramacharithra, sajjanas wear in their their clean heart. By that  very much love(Anuraga) called shining appears.if future they will get ultimate love.few took birth in karala(fearful) kali time. Their work is like crow.Dress is like that of swanlike.Such people leaving veda path bad pathmovers,stunt staties,vessel of kalidirt.telling that they sre devotees of rama ,cheaters of people,,servents of kama and anger,show off people(dambikas) ,false flag hoisters of religion, carriers of  burden of stunt work(kapata karya), in such people  Mine is first place. If I tell on going all my bad charecters  srory will go on expanding.  Again I won’t sea bank. Therefore I have described  my very little bad charecters. If anybody doubt, they are more fools than me,wickeds.

DASHARATHA”S PUTHRAKAMESTI:RAMA INCARNATION:

 In Ayodhya Raghukula shiromani  famous king Dasharatha was there.He was dharma dhurandhara,character treasure, and jnani.In his heart there was devotion residing on sarangapani.Even his intellect was also fixed in  that god only.

 

Kousalya excetra  his queens  were having holy performances.They were polite,mind helpful to husband,to them firm devotion in haripada(hari’s feet).Once worry of childlessness  troubled him.Immeadeately he went near guru,did namaskarams and  requested his sorrow.Guru vasista consoled him in many ways.’To you there will be  four children  who will become world famous.They will be fear removers of devotees.

 

Vasista asked to come muni rushyashrunga  and made to perform yaga(sacrifice).Whaen that muni offered ahuthi with devotion.Agni god,holding charu in  hand appeared.Told to Dasharatha-what ever vasista counted about you in his mind that has happened(siddhiside).King,now you give payasa(sweet paste,havis) to suitable persons.

 

Later yajneshwara disappeared.Kinmg drowned in supreme joy(Paramananda).

In his heart there was overjoy. He called his dear wives to come. Gave half payasa to kousalya. Remaining half did  again did two parts.In that gave one part to kaikeyi. What was remaining again did  two parts.making them to touch kousalye and kaikeyi and gave to  sumithre.

 

After that all wives  became pregnant.they were all very happy.whe Srihari came to womb(uterus)  in world joys and treasures spread. As mine of beauty,Sheela(chastity), and brightness(thejas)  three queens shined in palace..like this  some time passed.time of lord getting body came.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shubhayoga,lagna,planet,week, and day came.all jada(inerts) and spirits got excited.Is not  birth of srirama source of  joy?holychaithra month ,Shukla paksha(fortnight)and lovable to god Abhijith muhurtha ,afternoon time, not very chill norsun light.ib such holy time  giving peace to whole world!cool,slow and fragrant  air was blowing.gods were very joyful.Santhas were very happy in mind.  Garden  was full of flowers.mass of mountains were shining with beads.  Amruthadhara was flowing in rivers. Knowing time of Incarnation of lord, all gods along with brahma  prepared their aeroplanes and went.clean sky  was filled with gods.gandharvas started  character singing of lord. Started to shower flower rain  with beautiful bogases. Divine drums sounded.  Sepents,munies, and gods started to do sthothras. Started to give various kinds of gifts.

 

Gods mass  requested and went to their their worlds.Whole world peace giver ,world supporter   lord got body.Kousalya got expanded  by amazing beauty of  child. There were  weapons in his four arms. He was wearing Divine ornaments  and vanamala.Eyes were vast.In this way shining ocean  god appeared.

 

Joining both hands mother kousalyetold-‘Hey Anantha, How shall I do your sthothra? You are maye,guna  and beyond knowledge  effectless(parinama rahitha), vedas and epics  tell. Ocean of joy,residence of charecters, like this shruthies  and saints  do your charecter singing.  Such bhakthavathsala (one who has affection towards devotees)  Srikantha has appeared for favour.

 

In your each hair  Mayaformed  brahmanda masses(universes) have hided.Like this vedas tell.  Such you were living in my stomach.  If I tell this  it will be funny. Even intellect may get displaced.Onseing realisation to mother  lord laughed. To do many kinds of charithas is his duty.Therefore he by telling beautiful past birth story  to mother to produce puthra vathsalya(affecton towards son) .

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 Kousalya told with intellectual innocence-‘swamy,leaving this form  very lovable  childhood play.that is very much lovable to me.,happiness giving’.

 

On listening  these words of mother ,godslord bhagavantha  as child started to cry.

Those who  sing charitha(history) oflord will get sriharipada (arihari feet). Again will not fall to well of this world(bhava).  For favour of vipras,gods and santhas  god got human form. He is beyond maye, charecters, and senses. His body is formed by his desire only.  Not by karma bound  thrigunathmaka things.

 

 On listening crying of child  all queens ran and came with celebration. Maid servents  with joy moved here and there.all town people indulged in joy.

 

On hearing news of son, Dasharatha became as though indulged in brahmananda. Mind drowned in love. Body became romantic. He trembled without tolerating joy.

 

Call went to guru vasista. He came to palace with brahmins. They went inside and saw beauty mass .they saw child whose charecters can’t be  completed by telling.

 

Later king did nandi  and did jathakarma. To brahmins gold,cows,clothes, and rathnas were donated. City was decorated by  flags,pathakes and festoons(thoranas). There was flower rain from sky. All people were drowned in joy.

 Women went in groups and groups. They went  making up natural decoration.  In gold kalasha kept  golden plates preparing mangala dravyas, ,singing, they entered royal door. They did arathi to child.repeatedly fell to feet of child. Vandhimagadhas (admirers),suthas,and singers  started to sing  holy charecters of raghukula swamy(Raghu family lord).

 

 King did bhuri(big) donation to all.even those who got donation also without keeping it with themselves  distributed it. All places and streets  shined as though  filled with mud of  kasthuri ,Chandana(sandal), and kesari fragrance. In house and house mangala  congradulations  celebrations took place. Beauty kid,god incarnated.is it not?  Males and females of town  in groups and groups  in batvches batches  indulged in joy celebration.

 

 On this side, kaikeyi and sumithra also delivered beautiful male children.  Such joy,treasure,time, and society  either Saraswathi or adishesha can’t describe.

 

As though night has come to join it’s lord, but on seing sun  hsesitating  as though got converted into evening,Ayodhya shined. Incense (dhupa) and smoke of agaru(aroma,Aloewood),itself was  dark of evening.there flying gulalu itself is red. Beads in palace themselves are star group.kalasha f palace itself is moon. in slow tone running  veda recital in palace itself is  timely birds   melodious tone. On seing this wonder, even sun also  forgot to move forward. He did not move for one motnth. It was day for one month. This secret was not known to anybody. Sun has stopped there only along with chariot.  When it is so  how will night become?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

But this secret was not known to anybody. Sun went on doing  character singing of Sriramachandra. On  seing this grand  celebration  ods,munies, ans nagarus(serpents),thinking that there is no end to their luck  returned to their their houses.

 

O Parvathi,your intellect is firm in Srirama. Therefore I will tell you another secret.  Both kakabhushundi and myself were there together.  But as we were in human forms nobody recognised us.  We swollen in supreme joy  and love joy  both were with indulged mind  were wandering in streets  and streets.

 

 Then anybody come in any   way,what ever they beg king gave that. Elephant,horse,chariot,gold,cows,diamonds, and varieties of chinambaras  he donated. Made  everybody’s mind to enjoy. All who were owner of thulasidasa were blessing let four princes  become chiranjivies .

 

Like this few days were spent.rolling of days and nights  was not known.  As time of naming ceremony(namakarana0 came near king made vasista muni to come.

Worshiping muni king told-“ o muni ,you indicate name which you have thought in mind”

Muni told- ‘king, to these there are many uncomparable(Anupama) names are there. But still I will tell according to my intellect.anananda sindhu9ocean of joy) ,joy mass,,by one particle of  anandasindhu  giving joy to three worlds   to that your first(jyesta) son ‘Rama’is name. It is residence of joy.  Rest giving to whole world. Bharana -poshana doing  to your second son name is ‘Bharatha’.  By remembrance only who destroys  enemy is ‘shathrughna’.Residence of good charecters ,dearer to Srirama,  and supporter to world  guru vasista gave name ‘lakshmana’.

 

 Guru enquiring in mind, kept these names.told-‘king, your four children are veda thathvas(principles).treasure of munies,,all to devotees, and Shiva’s prana ,such lord  is finding joy in  in childhood leela rasa.’

CHILDHOOD PLAY(LEELA) OF SRIRAMA: since childhood only ,thinking his supreme lord is sriramachandra only ,developed rathi(love) in his feet.  In bharatha lord-servents love frew. Having Shyama and goura(white) bodies ,on seing two beautiful pair’s beaytu  mothers removed dristi.all four children  are residence of Sheela(vchastity0,beauty,and character.But still ocean of joy rama is higher than all. In his heart moon named blessing was enlighting. His beautiful  smile(mandahasa)itself is  their ray.  Once on thigh,once in cradle, making to lay down  mother pampers as ‘muddugaru(,ovely)’.

Omnipresent,Niranjana(non attached),Nirguna(atributeless), ,vigatha vinoda(fun),  and birthless  parabrahma onlt,yielding(bending) to love and devotion, is playing on thigh of  kousalye. In his blue lotus and in serious cloud like Shyama body  brightness of crores of kama!aruna feet lotuses nail brightness  was shining like  pearl on petal of red lotus.  At the base of feet  diamond,flag,and ankusha signs were there. On hearing tone of leg chain  even mind of munies also  will get fascinated.kinkini in waist,and on stomach there was thrivali. Those who have seen only know depth of umbilicus. That child’s vast shoulders are decorated by many ornaments. On chest beauty of  tiger’s nail.

Beads garland brightness  added with rathnas andseing feet sign of bhrugu  mind gets attracted.his cone(kambu)  neck and chin is very beautiful.on face unlimited kamas(madanas) chavi(……..?) is shining. Two milk teeth have buded ot.Red lips,nose,beauty of thilaka(nama) is indescribable.beautiful ears,beautiful  cheeks!melodious stammering speech,very lovely.smooth curley hairs! Mother was decorating them in many ways. On body of that child yellow coloured shirt. It’s toddling walk  is very lovable to me.like this  shiva told to Parvathi.again told-‘parvathi,it’s beauty even vedas and adishesha  can’t describe . those who  have seen it in dream only know. Joyful,beyond fascination, beyond jnana(knowledge),senses, and speech ,getting mad by love of  Dasharatha and kousalya s ,is showing holy childhood plays(leelas). Like this father and mother of srirama  ,to residents of  Ayodhya , is giving happiness. O bhavani ,this is luck of those  who have love in feet of raghunatha! Raghupahi is vimukha person..even if crores of plans are done  his bhava (this worldly) bondage will not tear.  Even Maye who has kept under her control all moving and non moving also  is afraid of lord. God makes to dance that maye by bhrukuti(………?) vilasa only. Leaving such lord  to other else to worship? By mind speech bodyleaving chathuri ,as soon as worshiped, srinatha shows grace.

 

In this way lord srirama showing his childhood play  produced happiness to city dwellers.  Kousalya keeping on her thigh  tharammaiah,duri duri if plays  other time used to make to sleep  in cradle and swing.sto kousalya who was indulged in love, did not know rolling of days and nights. Due to  son’s love  she used to sing   his childhood plays.

 

 Once mother kousalya made to bath  to rama. Decorated and made to sleep in cradle. Later for worship of kuladaiva9family god)  wore holy cloth(madi). Worshiped and offered naivedya. Went to kitchen and came. From there retuned to worship room. what did she saw there? Child is eating naivedya kept to god!

 

She thought .how did child in cradle came here?like this when she ran near child it was sleeping.againg on returning to worship room and seing it is there only.her chest shook. There was no boldness to mind what ever done.s

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

She thought-what is this? Here and there I found two children.is this my mental illusion  or is there any other reason?On seing mother fearing lord emited smile. Later he showd his  whole amaze(adbhutha)  to his mother.In his each hair there were crores and crores of brahmandas(universes).Innumerable sunsmoons shiva ,brahmas! Many  ountains,rivers,seas,earth,forest,time,karma,character(guna), knowledge(jnana),natures she found.Apart from this,she saw many seen and unseen  things. Maye who is powerful in all aspects , with very much fear  was standing with joined hands. She saw maye making jivas to dance. Later she found devotion which relieves jiva from maye.

 

 On seing all these mother’s body got excited. Words did not come out from mouth. Then closing eyes  she bowd head in feet of srirama.  On seing mother wondering  Rama again became child form.

 

Mother could not do sthothra(praise) also. Sfe feared that she had thought  world father god as her son. Srihari consoled his mother in many ways and consoled-‘mother,don’t tell this anywhere’.

 

Kousalye joined hands many times and requested-lord ,let your maya not cover me for ever.’

Hari played many kinds of childhood plays. Gave high joy to his servents. After spending few time all brothers grew up  and gave joy to  people.

 

EDUCATION OF SRIRAMA:

After reaching suitable age celebrated chudakarma. To vipras bhuri dakshine (great remuneration) was given. All princes were showng many childhood plays. Invisible to mind,speech,karmas is wandering house yard of Dasharatha.  At the time of meals,though king calls many times they will not come to meals leaving friends.  When kousalye calls lord runs with  style. Whom vedas describe as ‘nethi’ and whose ens even shiva does not know,,such  child mother is running to catch.

 

Those childer  came to house with dust all over body.  King laughed and made them to sit on thigh.

 

 While taking meals  mind fickleness of  those children can’t be told. Some how keeping curd rise in mouth ,with laugh  arw walking here and there.Lovely childhood plays of  Srirama  sharade,shesha,shambhu, and shruthies  have sung and praised.Are there luckless people who does not like these  leelas(plays)?

 

Whe children reached   koumarya(teen age,virginity) guru ang parents joined and performed upanayana(munji).  Raghunatha went to  to do education  along with brothers to teachers house. In short time only they became scholars in all educations.  Those who have four vedas as breath now they have to read vedas.  Which is more wonder than this?  All brothers were experts in  education,politeness, charecters chastity(sheela).all of them play kings plays only.

In their hands bows and arrows  are shining. On seing their beauty even characharas9moving and non movings)  were getting attracted.males and females in streets in which these childerns were going were becoming  friendly.

 

 To Males and females in kosalapura ,old people,children ,to all  srirama was lovable  than prana. Srirama goes to animal hunting along with  brothers and friends. They in forest used to  hunt and kill wild animals only.kill and bring to house and show. Animals died from arrow of srirama were directly going to heaven.

Rama was doing what people needed to be happy.he was doing listening  to vedas and epics with given mind.Later he was telling that to his younger brothers.

Raghunatha used to namaskarams to  his mother father and guru in morning.Getting their permission  used to do town works. Seing his behavior king felt very happy.

ARRIVAL OF VISHWAMITHRA AND COMING OF RAMA LAKSHMANA TO FOREST:

Mahamuni vishwamithra was in forest by building ashrama. There he was doing japa(chanting),Thapa(penance) and yoga practice. But to him there fear of demond called Maricha and Subahu! As soon as yajna started those demons used to come and trouble. Therefore he was very sorrowful.

 

Gadi’s son vishwamithra felt-these sinful demons will not die  except from hari. Lord has incarnated  to reduce earth burden. With this reason only  I will go and do  his feet darshan and requesting will bring both elder and younger brothers.residence of knowledge(jnana),dispassion( vairagya), and all charecters  lord I will see directly with my eyes.

 

 In this way in many ways , while having desires and going,he did not delay.Taking bath in Sarayu  bvishwamithra reached royal door(raja dvara).

 

On hearing arrival of muni, king went with vipravrinda   and welcomed them.  Doing danda pranam  brought him and made to sit on  seat. Washed his feet and worshiped and told:’who is more blessed than me?” Later made to do many kinds of edibles and meals.Muni felt very joyful by all these. Later king brought all his four children and made to fall on his feet.  On seing Ramachandra muni forgot himself.  On seing his face brightness  like chakoa bird seing full moon  muni became innocent.

Then king  enjoying in mind only told- ‘muni. You have never done  such grace upon me. Today with which cause  you came?permit me.I will fulfil it without delay’.

‘king,demons group is troubling me very much. Therefore I have come to request you.  Send srirama along with his younger brother. Leave fascination anf ignorance.king, by that you will get dharma(religion) and success(fame).to your children there will be supreme welfare(kalyana).

On listening this very lovable news  king’s chesr moved.His face dried up. He said-vipra, In old age I have got four children. You have not enquired and spoken.  Muni you ask earth,cow treasure, and my treasury only .All I will give with joy.  Which is more lovable(dearer) than  body and prana?I will give that also in one moment. All children are very  lovable to me. In that also,I will never give rama  in any way. Where deVere hard demons?where are  teen aged tender children?”

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

On listening words diped in love rasa muni felt very happy. Then vasista adviced king in many ways. There by doubts were cleared to king.King made to come both children  with much honour. Embracing them adviced them in many ways.again told to rushi-muni ,these both children are my prana.now you only are fsather to him.no body else’

Blessing them in many ways  king gave them to rushi.Later lord went near mother stretching forehead in feet(doing namaskaramas) went.

They are ocean of kindness,valients,and cause of whole universe.rama god ia aruna (red0 nayana,vast chested,ast shoulders,blue lotus andthamala dantha shyamala his body.

Vishwamithra got great treasure.  He started to think-I came to know lord is devotee of brahmins now.For my sake he left father also and came.

 

 While going on path  muni showd him thataki. On hearing sound she came running with noise(shout).Srirama killed here with only one arrow. Thinking her as poor(humble)  he showd his divine form.

 

Later though vishwamithra was knowing  lord is knowledge treasure(vidya nidhi),for leela(play) in body without hunger and thirst, taught which brings  uncomparable(athula) strength and  and thejas(brightness).giving all weapons  muni brought  srirama to his ashrama. To them serves kanda source fruits.

PROTECTION OF VISHWAMITHA YAJNA(SACRIFICE):

Next day morning raghunatha  told to vishwamithra-now onwards you do yajnas fearlessly’.

On listening all mnies started to do yajna.  Srirama stood for protection of yajna.On hearing this news  enemy of muni ,angry maricha ran with his friends towards that side.Rama shooted only one arrow of fear  on him. Therefore he crossed  hundred Yohana vast ocean and fell. Later left agni(fire) arrow   on Subahu.On this side Lakshmana  washed off  demond army. Like this Srirama  killing demons, made brahmins(dvija) fearless.Then all gods and munies started to praise(sthuthisu) Rama.

 

UPLIFTMENT OF AHALYA:

Srirama stayed there for further few days and showd kindness on bramins.With devotion vipras told  many stories to them.Though prabhu was knowing all,heard all.  Lsater muni told with honour.’princes,in Mithile a miracle(chamathkara) of Dhanush yajna is going to take place.let us go therecome’.According to that they went with vishwamithra with joy. On the way they saw one ashrama. There were no birds and animals  or any creatures.seing one stone  rama enquired about that.Then muni told  in detail it’s story.

 

‘Gouthama muni’s wife  Ahalye  has become stone due to curse.Tollerating up to this  desires your feet dust.Raghuveera grace upon her’.

 

After getting touch of srirama’s feet only  which are holy and sorrow solving ,immediately that penance statue(Thapomurthy)  ahalye got shape. On seing Srirama who is joy giver to devotees, ,she joining hands, stood up in front of him.Due to love excess she became boldless(adhira).her body got excited. She could no’t talk.Very lucky ahalye  did namaskarams to feet of lord(dsrirama). Tears shed from her eyes.

 

She in mind getting boldness  identified lord. She with her very much clean speech started to praise (to do sthothras)-O jnanagamya(enterble by knowledge) raghunatha, let jaya(victory) happen to you. I am unholy woman.You are world holy statue.joy gibver to devotees and and enemy of Ravana. O rajivalochana,worldly fear remover,,I have surrendered to you.

Protect.Curse given by muni became boon  onlyto me. I think it as rushi’s blessings.  Because of that I found  curse removing Hari  eyefully. Your darshan itself is  highly profitable.shankara knows this.  Lord I am very much ignorent(amayaka). My one request in you. Lord,I don’t need any other boon.  My mind bee  your feet lotus pollen(paraga)  love rasa be drinking for ever.B;ess  like this. By which feet  supreme holy shiva  wearing on head Devaganga(divine ganga)  emitted,,whose feet even brahma also worships,  ,such feet kindful Hari   kept on my head.which luck is higher than this?’

 

Praising like this,  again and again falling to feet,  getting mind desired boon  Gouthama’s wife Ahalye  joyfully, went to husband’s world(pathiloka).

 

Lord Ramachandra  in this way  frelsative of poor andcauselessly showd kindness. Thulasidasa tells’o shatamind (stubborn mind),you leaving all kapatas(cheatings,stunts)  remember god like this’.

 On seing them people felt happy. Their  eyes were not  closing(beating). Kanmani9eye bead) was firm. On seing both brothers janaka felt very happy. He went and held feet of  muni vishwamithra.He told all his stories. Showd all yajna hall to them.along with muni two princes. Where ever they went people were seing with wonder.  All felt as though Rama is facing towards them only. It’s secret was not known to anybody. Muni told to king-‘yaga hall is very nice’.On hearinmg this king felt very happy. Among all stages on stage was very  very beautiful, bright and vast.King along with muni made to sit both brothers on stage. On seing Rama  all kings became  brightless(enthusiasm killed) like stars becoming brightless  when moon rises.On seing his varchas(charm,thejas) belief that he  only will break  bow became sure.On seing his beauty all felt- though he does not break Shivabow,putting of garland is sure.

Thinking like this, rhey talked within themselves. –‘by standing here now our success(victory),valience,strength, and thejas will not remain.’

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Avivekies, vicharandhas(those who are blinded by enquiry),bad prided people,other kings  on hearinmg this laughed and told-‘though bow is broken it is difficulty to marry. When it is so how can she marry  prince without breaking?let him be kaala(time,yama,death) ,for seetha we will fight with him and win.on listening vthese words of ego  religios people(dharmathmas) and hari devotees, few princes smiled. They told-‘making us to get down  Srirama will marry seetha Who can win valient sons of Dasharatha king?therefore don’t fight in waste.  By eating mandige(a kind of edible) will hunger drt up?Listen to our advice.  Seetha is direct world mother(jagajjanani). Knmow this. Knowing srirama as world father see him eyefully.

 Beautiful,joy giving, and mass of all good charecters  these two brothers  are residing in heart Of shambhu(shiva). Leaving Amrutha sea why are you going behind   mirage(mrigajala) and getting spoiled?What we have to tell we have told. Next do as you wish. Today we got our birth(life) blessed.  Our birth became blessed(fulfilled).

 

Telling like this devotiuonal kings  started to see uncomparable(Anupama)  beauty of Srirama. In sky even gods also were seing sitting in aeroplane.they sang beautifully and started to pour flower rain.

 

Then thinking it as suitable janaka  sent words to seetha to come. All beauties went to bring her with honour. Mine of beauty   world mother janaki’s beauty is inmdescribable(beyond description). To her all similies(upames) of poetry are low. Because those similes are used for   loukika(mundane ) lasses parts. That means they are   lovers of loukika(mundane) females parts. Who will use these descriptions for  similes by getting called bad poet? To become partner in illfame who is ready? To compare seetha with a  woman(lass) ,in this world where is such a beautiful woman. If divine lasses are taken Saraswathi is very talkative,Parvathi is better half(ardhangini),kamadeva’s wife  Rathi is telling her husband as ananga(partless,without parts) always puts weeping face.  Lakshmi who is having brothers like  poison and madya(alcoholic drinks,liquors), how to campare with seetha.  In case if there is sea of beauty amritha ,,supremely beautiful turtle(ame)  is there,,if there is rope of brightness,,if there were mountain called shringara(decoration ,make up,beauty ), is there, and  Kamadeva by himself churning this  beautiful sea, tith his lotus hands, ,by that  if Lakshmi added with  beaty and source of happiness(joy),appears,then with much joy then she can be told equal to seetha.

 

Youthful sakhies(lass friends)  Carrying seetha along with ,singing song in beautiful tone  came. Seetha was wearing nbeautiful saree. World mother’s maha chavi(……?) is uncomparable.  All ornaments were shining in their their places.  Sakhies had  made them to be worn in each part part and decorated.when she came to stage(rangathala), on seing her divine beauty , all males and females(men and women)  got fascinated.  Gods felt happy and  played drums(dundubhies). Pouring flower rain apsaras(divine damsels)  danced. In hands of seetha  victory garland was shining. All kings with woonder started to see towards her.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Seethe started to see srirama with wondered mind. Then all kings became fascinated. Whe she saw both brothers standing near munies seetha’s eyes as though getting treasure ,keyed9fixed) in Srirama. But due to shyness of gurus and elders  and on seing very big gathering  seethe folded. She making srirama to reside in her heart  emitted vision towards sakhies(fried lasses). On seing beauty of rama and seethe  men and women  did not close eyes(nirvimeshansayana).All of them thought in their mind only. But hesitated to speak by opening mouth.  In mind only they requested fate-‘o fate(vidhi), tear inertness(jadathva) of janaka.  As it ran in our mind, in his mind also  leaving his oath, to give seethe to Srirama  and give intellect to do marriage.ten world likes him.  Because this is lovable to all.  If stubbornness is done at end sorrow is inevitable. To Janaki this shyamala himself is suitable groom .Like this all are counting.’

Then janaka king called vandimagadhas(admirors). They shouting awards came.king told- ‘go and announce my oath to all’.

 

Thet went.In their heart joy was filled. Vandimagadhas announced-‘All kings,listen, We lifting our vast  shoulders announce challenge(oath) of janaka.

 Kings shoulder strength is moon.  Shivabow itself is rahu.  It is very heavy.  Hard.All these facts are known to all. Great valients Bana,Ravana also  on seing this bow without talk, walked away.That shambhu kodanda9shiva bow) if anybody lfts Janaki will marry him without seing front and back.

 

On listening this oath in mind of  kings desires appeared. Great valients got irritated in mind only.  Tiein waist, rising up  bending head to their desired god,they rose up.they emitted vision towards bow with enthusiasm.  Then concentrating vision  will hold it.They put their strength in many ways.But is did was not moving even a little.  Kimg with viveka did not come near also. Foolish kings used to hold bow.  When it was not possible by their hand, used to return with shy. Seing strength of valients that bow was fattening more it seems. Even ten thousand kings lift it together it won’t move such bow it was.

To  words of lusty (kami) people, will mind of pathivrathe(chaste,pious womsn) will it move?like that shiva bow was sitting movementless.  Cndition of all kings  like saint(hermit) without dispassion  became laughable.Losing all their fame,victory,amazing valience -all these they failing due to bow  went off. Kings losing chest ,losing brightness  with sorrow and anger  went and sat. On seing this failure of kings  janaka with sorrow  and anger saw-On hearing my oath kings came from Islands Islands.godsand demons also got human form  and came.Still many bolds and valients came. But  by breaking bow getting beautiful bride and very  much fame-getting all these,brahma has not created such bridegroom it seems. Who does not want this profit? But nobody  rised hede(bow thread,bow string) to bow.Let there be rising and breaking,,there was nobody who can lift it from  ground even a thill. Now thise who are proud of valience should not get  angry. This eart is valienceless  now I came to know this. Now all of you leaving your desires   return to your house.  Brama has not written marriage in forehead of seehe it seems.  If challenge is left punya will go off.Now therefore I am helpless. Let daughter be bride only What more shall I do?’

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

On hearinmg these words of janaka  all people  became sorrowful.but Lakshmana became angrt.his eye brow frowned. Lips started to vibrate. Eyes became red with anger. Due to fear of Rama he did not talk. But this word of janaka pierced him like arrow.  At end without tolerating he falling to feet of Srirama  told like this-‘who ever may be Raghuvamshi here nobody can talk like that.Such unsuitable words  knowing presence of  raghukula Shiromani  srirama ,janaka has told.Lord ,tell I am telling naturally.not due to pride. F you permit  I will throw this universe(brahmanda)  like a ball. Like a pot I will break it. I will break even Meru mountain like radish.God,in front of  our great valience   is this muggalu(spoiled)  bow alsoone thing?knowing like this ,if permitted see my hand trick(hand skill). Lifting bow like lotus ball  up to hundred yojanas  shall I run?Lord,by your valience strength  I can break  this now like a mushroom.If I don’t do so  lord’s feet’s promise. I will not touch bow and arrow box(batthalike)  for ever’.

 

When Lakshmana spoke angry words   earth shook.  Diggajas(direction elephants shook.  All peoples and kings became afraid. Seethe felt joy.janaka became dulled.Guru vishwamithra ,rama and all munies  felt happy in mind only. Got excited again again. Srirama prevented Lakshmana by guesture. With love made to sit nearhim.

 Thinking as good time vishwamithra told with much love-‘Rama,rise up, break shiva bow.solve  sorrow of janaka.’

On hearing words of Guru, Srirama  bent head in his feet. In his mind there was neither joy nor sorrow.he in standing stylemaking to rise lion, naturally stood up. On the stage called Udayagiri  raghuvara child sun rised ,santha lotuses blossomed. Eye bees became joyful. Kings desire of darkness vanished. Their  stars called talks dulled. Bad prided(durabhimani) kings named lotuses dried up. And cheating kings called owls hided head.Muni and gods called koka birds became sorrowless. They  showd their services by pouring flower rain.  With love doing namaskarams to guru’s feet, Srirama got permission of munies. World ,lord Srirama  like high salaga(male elephant), walked with style. On seing his going lasses of janakapura  became joyful. Their body got romantic. They doing namaskarams to gods and pithrus ,remembering their punya  prayed like this-‘If our punya has any value,o Ganesha lord, let srirama break that shiva bow like lotus stem’.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Looking Sriramachandra  with love and calling sakhies nearseethe’s mother with emotion told like this-Sakhi(shefriend,friend lass),All our favourable people are seing fun. To those childern’s guru is there nobody to tell intellect.This ramw is a kid who does not know anything. This stubbornness is not god. Bana and Ravana went without able even to touch this bow.All prideful kings also failed. This devil bow such a delicate  prince will he handle?will kid swan lift Mandara mountain? Let go, will janaka king avoid this. To him dullness has held. Who knows play of fate?(vidhivilasa).

 

Then one skilled  beautycame and told-‘queen, bright should not be counted lightly. Where is kumbhaja(potborn)  Agasthya where is paravara(sea)?but he drank that sea only.is it not?By that his fame spread through out world. Solar system is small to see.But after it rises  darkness of three worlds will bedestroyed.Manthra is very small. But  brahma,Vishnu,maheshwaras are all  under it’s control.and male elephant is controlled by small  ankusha(elephant goad).is it not/Kama god  has kept all worlds under control by flower bow and arrows only.Devi(goddess),therefore you leave doubt. Sriramachandra will surely brak bow.’

 

 On listening words f sakhies, she believed about ability of Srirama.  Her condolence teared. About Srirama her love boiled and flowd. Then on seing Srirama  seetha  with fear was joining hands to all found foind gods and requesting. With sorrow she was putting harake(wishes,offerings to god) to god.’parvathi-parameshwara , grace me. Let my service become blessed today.  Grace me and honouring my prayer  lighten weight of bow’.

 

On seing Raghuveera , she brought boldness , and had put harak to gods. In her eyes tears of love had filled.  Body was romantic.observing beauty of Srirama well  eyefully, when again she remembered oath of father, seetha’s mind becomes  didturbed. She started to respond in mind only. ‘ayyo,my father has kept hand to wahat a pitiable stubbornness.He has no tjought of profit and loss only. Fear to ministers. So they can’t advice king.  In this meet where scholars what  unsuitable is taking place. Where is hard kodanda(bow)? Wher flower soft rama?  Ayyo fate! How shall  get boldness? By particle of shirisha flower particle  can diamond be cut? Whole meet is dulled. Therefore o shambhuchapa(shiva bow),,now you only are direction to me. You by putting your jadathva(inertness) on people seing Raghunatha become  light,’

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Like this in mind of seethe much pain! Each particle of  moment  was passing like yuga. Looking at srirama again seing at ground seethe’s fickle eyes Chandra mandala(lunar system) named kapila’s sky two fishes of Kamadeva as though playing were shining.bee talk of seethe her face lotus  had prevented and caught.looking  night of shyness it was not coming out.  Tears have stood  at the tip of eyes only.As dold of miser is hidden in ground earth only, seing her exaggerated (exceeded) sorro seethe hesitated. Again getting bold felt- ‘in body ,mind, speches also  my challenge is true only. But if there is love in feet of raghuvara  omnipresent god   let surely make me as Raghuvara’s maid servent(dasi).to those who have real love  loved thing will be surely got. There is no doubt in this.

Looking at lord seethe decided in mind- this body is dedicate to this person.

To graceful Srirama  all came to know. He looking at seethe saw at bow  like garuda looking at small snake’s kid.

 

On seing Raghuvamsha bead srirama  looking shiva’s bow(shambhu kodanda)Lakshamana  getting excited  pressing universe(brahmanda)  with leg told like this-‘O diggajas(direction elephants),o turtle carrying earth,,Adishesha,pig(Varaha), with boldness you have carried earth. It ma shake, Be cautious! Srirama wants to break shiva bow. Listen to my permission,all get awakened,be attentive,listen to my order.’

 

When Srirama came near bow(chapa) all men and women there requested god’s and their own punya.all’s doubt,ignorance,bad pride of low kinmgs, guruthva of parashurama’s pride, high munies anxiety,worry of seetha,repentence of janaka, and queens sorrowful forest fire,all these tieing  shiva bow named big ship in group riised. They crossing large ocean of rama’s armstrength  were desiring. But no boatman!

 

Srirama looked at people. On seing figure written by them  again looked sat seethe.He saw her specially sorrowful. Her each moment was spending like kalpa.if a thirsty person dies without water what will amritha pond do later?

After drying up of crop what  is use if it rains? After spending time what is use by repentenmce?-like this thinking in mind, Srirama looked at Janaki. Seing her love speciality  he got excited.  In mind only he did pranams to guru. Again with much enthusiasm lifted up bow.When it was taken by hand  it flashed like lightning. Later in sky there was mandalakara.Rama took bow,rising bow thread(hede), pulling strongly was not seen by anybody. All of tham saw rama  pulling standing bow. Then only Rama broke it at middle part. Harsh fearful tone filled whole world. Sun’s horses missed path,diggajas started t to trumpet(ghilidu). Earth started to shake, adishesha,pig,turtle  played to  get sieved(jaradi) as though. Gods and demons ,munies all these kept hand on ears,what is this severe(fearful) sound like this indulged in enquiry. After clarification of shiva bow by Srirama all of them  did jayakara to Srirama.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shiva bow (shankara chapa) itself is ship. Armstrength of Srirama itself is sea. As bow is broken  all society which rised ship with fascination  drowned.

 

Rama  threw both pieces of bow on ground. On seing that all became happy. Filled up with beautiful love water  in vishwamithra named  holy sea  kamarupi full moon ,on seing that  waves called excitement started to boil. In sky drums started to sound loudly. Devanganas(divine damsels)  started to sing and dance. Brahma excetra gods,,siddha munishwaras  were praising lord.,were blessing.  They started to rain  colourful  flowers andgarlands . Kinnaras started to sing Sarasa songs. In whole universe  tone of jaya jaya kara spread.  In middle of that sound of breaking noise was not heard. Here and there females and males  proufully  were telling that Rama broke shiva bow. Valient intellects  vandimagadhas  were shouting awards.  All people  elephant,horse,money,rathna, and clothes  distributed and donated. Thala(rhythm),mridanga,shankha(cone),valaga(nadaswara), dolu, and beautiful  drums(nagaries)  excetra  nbeautiful instruments sounded.  Young lasses sang mangala songs and sobane songs.

Along with sakhies(lass friends) queen  became happy very much. To drying up paddy crop  as though it rained. Janaka left worries and became joyful. To one who was tired by swimming  as though he got land.

After breaking bow  kings became brightless (nistheja)  like day lamp. What to describe joy of seethe? To chathaka bird it was as though pouring  svathi rain. Lakshmana was seing srirama like  kid chakora looking at moon.

 

Then as per order of shathananda  seethe went near  rama. With her many beautiful sakhies were singing mangalageethas.Seethe walked like child marala(swan). In her body parts much brightness!In middle of sakhies ssethe moved like  great light in light group(chavigadana). In her hand jayamala(victory gsarland) was shining. In that there was beauty of universal victory(Vishwa vijayini).Seethe had folded with hesitation9shyness). But in face parama uthsaha(supreme enthusiasm)  was filled. Her latent love was not known to anybody. Going near observcing beauty of srirama  proncess became like written figure.

But her clever friend(sakhi) ,on seing her this condition told like this-beautiful jaya mala(victoty garland)  put to neck of srirama.

On hearing that seethe took garland by her  both hands. But with love excitement she  could not put  to  Rama’s neck. Her hands hands which were  like stems with lotus, fearing to moon as though putting jayamala shined. On seing this beauty sakhies started to sing. Then seethe put garland to neck of Srirama. On seing jayamala  in chest of  Srirama  gods poured flower rain. Whole raja chakra(royal whel)  like naidiles(water lilies)  which saw sun.

 

 In city and sky instruments sounded. Wickeds became sorrowful. Sajjanas enjoyed(felt joful). God,human,kinnara, naga and munies did jayakara and blessed. Divine damsels were  dancing singing. In their kusumanjale was pouring again again. Here and there vipras were doing vedaghoshas (veda announcements). Vandimagadhas were shouting awards. Srirama broke bow,married seethe.this good news spread in three worlds. Males and females of city  doing arathi ,beyond their strength  started to distribute their treasures.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Seetharama’s pair was as though com bination of   beauty and decoration.sakhies were telling-‘seethe,touch  lord’s feet’.But seethe could not touch his feet due to fear.Remembering fate of (gathi,destination) of  gouthama’s wife   Ahalya is not touching feet of Srirama by hand. on seing aloukika love of Seetha sri Ramachandra laughed in mind only.

 

Then on seing seetha  to few kings there was desire of getting  her. Wicked,badsons, and fools  those kings started to burn in their mind only. Those unlucky people  wearing shield started to shout here and there.Somebody was shouting –‘sack(kasuyuvudu)  seetha.tie those two princes.Desire will not be fulfilled by breaking bow inly. When we are living  who will marry princess?If janaka goes to their help  along wth brothers we will beat him also.’

 

 On hearing these words  good minded kings told-‘ On seing these princes there is shy to shy also. Your  strength,valience,greatness, and dignity(prestige) Broke along with bow. From where valience will come to you? Because such wicked intellect only lord(vidhatha)  applied ink  to your face.Jealousy,ego(ahamkara),  and leaving anger , eyefully  seebeauty of Srirama.  Don’t become  butterfly anger fire of Lakshmana. If crow desires killing(bali) of garuda(eagle) ,to lion if rabit stretches it’s tongue, who gets anger causelessly  if he wishes his safety ,if shiva traiter desires all kinds of treasures,If a greedy person  wants beautiful fame,is it possible for a kami(lover,lustful person)  to be defectless? If Hari post faced9hari padavi mukhanu)if wants liberation will he get?In the same way  kings, it is waste to desire for seethe.’.

On hearing this upset seethe became doubtful. Then sakhies carried her near queen. Srirama in mind only describing  love of seethe  walked towards guru in a natural way.

 

SEETHA MARRIAGE:

Divine dundubhies( drums) sounded. Gods poured floer rain. Males and females of janakarapura   became joyful. Their ignorance born  heart pain  was lost.Instruments sounded. All got decorated with  new clothes. Beautiful faced,beautified eyed  and  cuckoo  toned, lasses  gathering together started to sing mangala songs.

 

Joy of janaka can’t be said.To very poorit became like getting kadavara(hoard?).seethe’s fear had run away. The happiness which happens to  chakora  when there is moon rise happened to her.janaka king did pranama to koushika and told-by grace of lord only Sriasma  broke this bow. Both brothers made me blessed.Now you have to undertake  next works  which you think.

 

Then muni told-o king you are skilled intellect,listen, Marriage was depending upon  breaking of bow only.As soos as it was broken it is like marriage only. Gods,humans serpents(nagas) all know this. But still you go  and as per family behavior(tradition)  ask vipras,old people in family,guru and complete next work in vaidika way.Send messengers to Ayodhya. Let them bring Dasharatha king.

 

King with joy’goog guru,let it happen so’telling like this  sent his messengers to Ayodhya. Then king made to come great people of his state. All of them came and bent their head with honour.King  ordered  then to decorate pet,street,house,mutts,temples and towers and town.

 

Great people went to their house with joy. Lsater called his servents and ordered to construct mantap. As per that they started work.They brought many skiiled workers(artists). They did namaskarams to  brahma and started their work. They prepared one banana pillar. Pacche leaves and fruits they prepared.On seing beauty of that mantap even brahma wondered(forgot body).prepared by pacche onlybamboo pillars! In that there were leaves,there were nodes(ginnu).To that many betel leaves were there.  It was difficult whether it is of  bead of real. By skilled work thread tieing  betel leaf creeper  was also done.In middle middle  pearl chungus(falls?). cutting  Manikya,[acche,blue, excetra  rathnas  from them prepared  red,green,white,and blue lotuses.bees and many coloured  birds were formed.  They swinging due to wind.On pillars Shala bhunjike and standing holding  divine lasses statues  were prepared. Cutting Neela mani (blue bead)  very beautiful mango  fruits bunches  shined.As though Kamadeva has thrown his net  festoons9thoranas) were prepared. Mangala kalashas(holy vessels), beautiful flags,,pathake,screen,fans(chamaras)   were prepared. Having many bead lamps(mani dipas)  mantap was impossible to describe. Which poet has intellect of describing  matap in which Janaki herself is going to stand as  bride?  Sea of beauty and charecters srirama  going to stand as bridegroom mantap  should become  famous in three worlds only. Like palace of janaka king only every house was decorated in  janakapuri. In janaka puri  on seing richness  of even in poor person  even Indra was getting fascinated.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lakshmi herself in stunt(kapata,cheating) dress  residing as female  to describe beauty of that town  even saraswatgi,,adishesha, also hesitate.

 On that side janaka’s messengers reached paavanapuri Ayodhya. On seing that beautifjl city(town) they became very happy. They went near royal door(king’s door,rajadvara)  and made news to reach.On hearing that news Dasharatha maharaja (king)  asked them to come in. They gave letter which they had brought.Joyful king stood by himself and took that letter.while reading that letter his eyes filled with tears of joy. Body became romantic. Chest filled up and came.

 

In heart ramalakshmanas! Letter in hand,King was keeping it in hand only. Talk was not coming out from his mouth. Leter getting boldness king read letter.On knowing true fact  whole durbar  became joyful. Bharatha was playng with his  younger brother and other friends.On hearing his news  came over there and asked with hesitation-Father, from where letter has come?our lovely(prana loving)  both Rama Lakshmana  are they safe? Where are they?

On hearing these friendly  words king read letter once more.on listening  composition of letter both brothers  got excited.Their love was not able to  get contained within chest. On seing this holy love of Bharatha  whole durbar  became specially joyful.Then king asked messengers to come near  made them to sit, spoke good words- ‘Tell,Are boith children safe?Have you seen them directly with eyes? Shyamala(blaco or dark blue) coloured children were carrying  bow and arrow box(batthalike).is it not? Still they are of teen age(kishora stage). They are near vshwamithra muni. If you know them  let me know their nature.Undertaken by love  king asked them again again.After muni carried them,this is the first time   that we are getting true news.How did janaka king identified them?’

 

On hearing these loveful words of king, messengers emitted smile and told-

‘King listen, World decorative  Ramalakshmana like children those who have got,blessed eople who are there?nobody need not tell about your children.Those purusha simhas are  light of three world.In front of their success even moon appears dirt.In front of valience  even sun appears cool.Lord,you asked how  you identified them you asked.is it not ?to see sun is lamp needed? In Seetha svayanvara (self selection of groom by the bride)  many  kinds of kings had gathered.one higher than another. But they did not move shiva bow. Even great valients tired and dried up.Even Banasura  who can lift  Mseru mounytain also  with fear  put pradakshina to it and went off.Ravana who cal lift kailasa mountain  with leela also failed.king,In this situation(condition) there Srirama without strain  easily  like an elephant which breaks lotus stem  broke.on hearing  news of breaking bow  came with anger.  He made Rama to fear in various kinds. At end he also on seing strength of Srirama  giving his own bow to him,praising in many ways went to forest.’

 

‘king,Srirama is ubcomparably strong.So also brightness treasure Laskhmana also.n seing him kings  were shaking like elephant  seing lion.Deva,on seing these your two children,there is no mind to see anybody.

 

Love,valience and valience rasaful messengers words  became  dearer to all.Along with durbar  kingindulged in love. Gave likings to messengers.On seing that  messengers-‘this is against ethics’ telling like this  they refused it.On looking dharmaprajne(religious consciousness)  all  became very joyful.

 

Later king got up  went near vasista  gave that letter to him. With honour  told all to guru.Listening all news  with much joy  guru told-‘on the part of punya purushas  on earth  happiness is filled.rivers go towards sea.To sea there is no desire  that  let rivers come to me. Like that this is also. In the same way happiness and treasures  come searching dharmathmas(religious selves) unprayed. Like you who is cow brahmana,dod server kousalyadevi also.There was no punyathma like you before,now also not,will not be born in future also. Is there anything equal to your luck  who has got Sun like Srirama?Who other is there  who has got children like you who are valients,polite, dharmavratha wearers(religious vow wearers)?Welfare to you at all times. Therefore beat drum  and get prepared to  varayathra(bridegroom  journey).start quickly’.

 

On hearing these words of  guru ‘good,permission ,worshipable’ telling like this sending messengers to camp  king went to ranivasa.calling all ranivasa peopleHe read letter of janaka and told.

 

On hearing news queens became filled with joy. Later king  described all matters to them and told. Like peacocks hearing cloud roar  queens became joyful. Elser mutthaides  also blessed with joy. Mother’s happiness can’t be told. That very lovely letter they embraced to chest and enjoyed.High king Dasharatha  described fameful works of Rama Lakshmana  again again.

 

All these are muni’s grace’telling like this  king went. Queens called brahmins and gave big boons to them with joy. Brahmins accepted  donations and blessed. Later calling yachakas(requesters) and gave various kinds of things.’let four sons of Dasharatha emperor  become chiranjeevies’telling like this ,they got many kinds of beautiful  clothes weared and went. Drums sounded.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As soon as this news reached  congradulations started to happen.knowing that marriage of Janaki and Raghunatha is going to take place  there was increase in enthusiasm. On hearing this good news people became indulged in love.They stsarted to decorate house,street,and lanes.Srirama’s Ayodhya puri  is before only always beautiful!Flaks,pathakes,screens, and beautiful fans(chamaras)  whole pet(pete,market) became filled.Golden kalashas,thorana(festoons), beads bunches, turmeric(arisina) ,grass blades,curd,akshathe, and flower garlands  by all these people decorated their their houses  made mangalamaya.In streets and streets Chandana(sandal),kesari, kasthuri, campher liquid  were sprinkled.at door did sarane and karane. Having brightness like lightning  mrigashabakshies(deer eyed),by their beauty  kama’s wife Rathi’s pride breaking sumangali women,making sixteen decorations(shringara), here and there in batches batches  gathered.Inm their melodious tone, were singing mangalageetha. On hearing their melodious tones even parrots and cuckoos,bent their heads. World fascinating mantap and teared(torn) palace  how to describe? Various kinds of mangala dravyas were shining.

He embraced them and forgot  his separation(viyoga) sorrow. In dead body there was movement of prana  again. They bent head to vasista muni. That munivara embraced them with love. Both brothers  doing namaskarams to  brahmin’s group  got blessings.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Bharatha came with  shathrughna and did pranams to Srirama. Srirama embraced him to chest. On seing them both Lakshmana  with love and joy embraced.

Lsater Sriramachandra  visited Ayodhya residents,family relatives, and self caste people,,requesters(yachakas),minister, and  friends.Onm seing srirama dibbana became joyful. Kinmd of love is beyond words.Near  all foyr sons   as though Dharma(religion)-artha(money)-kama(lust,desires)-moksha(liberation)  getting body have come were shining. Seing king along with sons joy of malea and females can’t be told. In sky  godspouring flower rain  were playng drums(dundubhi). Apsaras(divine damsels) were dancing.

Later got permission and retured.In janakapura  there was present nowhere joy,celebration. Brahmananda to all. They were tequesting god  for day and night to become long  on their part.

 

Srirama and seethe  border(boundary) of beauty. Both kings were  seema(boundary,region) purushas  of punya(good deed,merit). Here and there from mouth of males and females  words were emitting out.Janaka’s statue of punya Janaki. Sukritha(good work) of Dasharatha has come  as Srirama. Like these two kigs nobody others  had worshipped  Shiva. Such people were not there in world before,now not ther,will not come in future. We are all mere sukrithas masses.Therefore only we have took birth in janakapura.  After seing beauty of  Janaki-srirama  who are punyathmas like others? Now we shall see  greatness(mahime) of Raghunatha  directly with eyes  and get our eyes blessed. 

 

 Cuckoo throated lasses were talking like this among themselves-‘hey eye,how much profit from this marriage! Vidhatha(creater,god)  due to our punya, due to our good luck, has graced us all. These brothers will become guests to our eyes.’

 

Janaka  due to friendship  calls seethe again again. Kotikamakamaniya(highly beautiful)  these btwo brothers  will come to carry away seetha.then in many ways their wecome will take place. Friend(lass friend) such father in law’s house to whom  is not lovable? As they come like that  city livers will see Ramalakshmanas and become happy.Sakhi like ramalakshnamas  again two are with king. One is white and one is black(Shyama).Their body parts what a beauty!In  mouth of those who have seen  same words(exclamation)!!

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

One told-tosay only I saw them.They are beautiful  as though brahma has carved them directly with his own hands.Bharatha has face like srirama only,has body colour.People may not recognize him easily.lakshmana and shathrughna are one form.From bottom to top(feet to head)  same form.pleasant to mind. But that beauty is not reachable to words. In three words nobody equal to them.strength,obedience,education(vidya),chastity(Sheela), and beauty sea  to them they only are equal.All lasses of janakapura  were requesting god(vidhatha,creater) let marriage of those children happen here only.,then we shall sing sobane song like this.

 

In eyes of few love tears had come.they getting excited  were talking within themselves-sakhi(she friend) ,both kings are sea of punya.thripurari shiva will fulfill desires of all’s mind.

 

Like this all of them imagining mind desires  ,in their chest were filling enthusiasm and joy.All those  kings who had come to seetha svayamvara  on seing these four became attracted.describing clear success of Srirama  all kings returned to their homes.residents of janakapura  and dibbanigas(those who have participated in dibbama)  ca’t be told.

 

Mangala source marriage day came.henantha season(ruthu),maragashirsha month, planet,day,star ,yoga weeks wre better than one another.seaching lagna  brahma thought again invitation card  giving in hands of Narada  sent to janaka.janaka’s astrologers had done same calculations.  On hearing these oeople told-‘astrologers are less to which  brahma!’

 

Clean all mangala source  godhuli time came.helpful shakunas(signs) happened. Vipras came it’s indication to janaka.Then janaka king told to his purohitha shathananda-‘now there is no cause for delay’. Then shathananda called minister. They prepared all  mangala drvyas and broght.Cone(shankha),nagari(drum),dolu, and other instruments  started to sound.Good signs materials like  curds,grass blade(garike), excetras they prepared. Beautiful lasses were singing. Brahmins(vipras) were doing veda announcements(veda recitals).

 

All came to wecome dibbana. Moved towards janavasa9people’s residence). On seing wealth og Ayodhya king Dasharatha  to then even  Indra became low. They requested-‘time is oiver. come now’.

 

On hearinf this drums sounded.On asking guru vasista and completing all  and completing all kulacharas(family traditions), dasharatha king went with  muni and sadhu society(group)Gods knowing mangala muhurtha(auspicious moment)beating divine drums poured flower rain. Shiva and brahma excetra gods  rised aeroplanes in batches batches.Indulged in love,getting excited, they came to see marriage of srirama.

 

On seing janakapuri  they felt their world is  dull(boring).they started to see  peculiar mantaps,,various kinds of aloukika(non mundane) constructions),excetras with wonder.men and women of that town, aretreasure of beauty,highly religious people,chaste and sujnanies.on seing them to gods and divine damsels  at the time of moon rise, like stars becoming brightless appeared. Brahma specially wondered. Because to him his own creation did not appear.

 

Then shiva warned gods there- you don’t forget yourself .remember this is seetharama’s marriages.By hearing whose name all amangalas (non goods) of world disappear(vanish),four kinds of purusharthas will be at bottom of feet , such seetharamas these are.telling like this to gods, shiva pushed his vehicle nandi(ox)  forward. Gods saw—dasharatha is very happy. Is moving forward with excitement. With him sadhus and all brahmins group  all joy wearing body  serving him as though it appeared.Four children salokya,samipya,sarupya, and sayujya as though getting body and come appeared. On seing pairs of marakatha bead and and gold coloured pairs  joy of gods can’t be told. On seing Ramachandra they became very happy. Praising kingship  showered flower rain.

 

On seing beauty of Srirama again again  with uma  shiva’s body  became hompuli(…?).sIn his eyes tears of joy  filled. Rama’s body was shyamala(black,or blue dark)  like neck of peacock. Rising flash shining peethambara.He was decorated by  all kinds of  beautiful marriage ornaments.

His beautiful face was like  clean moon of  Sharath full moon day.eyes were as though rising lotuses. All beauty was aloukika(non mundane). It is beyond words. Joyful to mind.

 

Along with him ,beautiful brothers are shining.They are going making beautiful horses to dance. Vandimagadhas are  praising family, shouting awards.  On seing movement of horse on which rama is sitting even  garuda is getting shyed.It’s beauty is beyond description. It is as though kama god himself has got horse form. It was fascinating all people  by it’s youth,strength,beauty, character, and movement.
