||Sri Ram Jayram Jaya Jaya Ram||

Chapter – 2 – Dhoha - 1

The Siddhas, ascetics, intellectuals who have decorated their eyes with Sidhdhajjanam, will find the auspicious gems hidden in the mountain peaks, dense forests, and in the depth of the Earth.  Therefore, the dust from the feet of Preceptor is a divine Anjjanam are promising to the eyes of the devotees.   It removes the impurities of the eyes; it inspires the eyes to see the supreme Ramacharitha, which removes the worldly bondage and interest in worldly matters.  I shall prostrate before the Bhoodeva/virtuous twice-born who removes the doubtfulness of the people. I shall prostrate before the virtuous people who takes pleasure in the association of ascetics, and saintly men, whose nature is like cotton seeds that release clean crisp cotton once it dries, later it undergoes various processes and becomes clothe to serve the needs of others. I shall eulogize these holy men with my humble words, whose nature is pure, self-sacrificing, innocent, unblemished, and full of promising.  The Theertharaj Prayaga is the sacred land on Earth represents the ascetics, pious, Sages and Rishis, the confluence of the watercourse of Ganga, Yamuna/daughter of Surya and Saraswathi represents their devotion to Lord Rama and discussion on Bhramam, and the Nishidhdha Karmas/restricted deeds, and the righteous deeds that remove the sins on the Kali era.  This sacred river Prayag/Thriveni provides all the auspiciousness and bliss to the pious and righteous people who listen to the glorious myths of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.  The peepal trees on the banks of Prayag represent firm devotion and dedication in the righteous deeds, and the place where righteous deeds take place on this riverbank represents its majestic assembly.  The ascetics and saintly men are the movable Prayag, removes the afflictions of the humble souls.  These movable Theertharaja/holy men are beyond description/Parasmani, they are free from the interest in worldly matters and bondage, therefore they are capable to fulfill all the desires of the worshiper, their association would provide sincere devotion at the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Rama.  Whoever understands the splendor of movable Theertharaja/saintly men, would take a dip in this sacred water with intense faith and devotion, eventually attain the Purusharththa/Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.  Whoever takes a dip in the association of the saintly men would attain auspicious results, like crows transforms into Cuckoo, and pelican transforms into Swan.  Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Narada and Sage Agasthya who was born from the vessel, have described their lives, any creatures on the Earth be it water animals, or land animals, or flying creatures, whoever attained wisdom, or Mukthi, richness, or welfare, only because of their association with these pious people, there is nothing could elevate the souls other than the association of ascetics.  The association with the saintly men would enhance wisdom and knowledge, and it won’t be easily attainable without the grace of Lord Rama.  The association with these holy men would provide bliss and auspiciousness.  Therefore the holy men are described as Parasmani, with the touch of this precious gem, even the metal becomes precious yellow gold, with the association of these saintly men, even the wicked person turns out a pious,  if a righteous person falls down from the path of Dharma, would immediately get back on their track.  The deities, Lord, Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, Lord Maheshwara, poets, and intellectuals find it difficult to describe the splendor of these saintly men.

Therefore I am incompetent to describe the splendor of these ascetics and saintly men, how did a vegetable vendor understands the worth of a gem?
