Chapter – 5 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The salutation to Santh Mahathma and the Vishayi Jeeva who is drenched in Ahamkara and Mamakara

 

I shall prostrate before the ascetics who have no friend or enemy, favorable or unfavorable, happiness or sorrow, respect or disrespect, joy or grief, are grown far beyond the dualities of Samsara, they are impartial like the fragrance of the Jasmine flowers kept on the palm, they are free from the impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, Mamakara, interest in worldly matters, hence I shall repeatedly bow down before the lotus feet of the ascetics and sincerely request like a child to shower their compassionate grace upon me to achieve  the selfless devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra.

 

I shall offer salutation to the Vishayijeeva/drenched in the material matters, Ahamkara and Mamakara, hostile to the innocents, finds pleasure in others trouble and ill-fortune, desolation, and get jealous of others welfare. The wicked and ignorant who spread misbelief in Veda, Scriptures, deities, trinities, etc. like the Rahu and Kethu causes an eclipse of Sun and Moon respectively. These ignorant are like the demon Sahasrabhahu who is haughty of his might achieved as a boon after several thousand years of penance, these wicked people enjoy causing miseries and grief to others with all might, their anger resembles fire, and fearless to  challenge Lord Yama, these people are like Kumbhakarna who enjoys long years of sleep and the comet which causes harm other than nothing, hence their destruction is propitious to the world. These wicked and arrogant Jeeva harm others in all possible ways, like the snow in the paddy field gets dissolved by destroying the crop. I shall offer salutation to those wicked Jeeva who is fierce as the thousand tongued serpents Adishesha, sadly, they utilize their vicious tongue to find fault in others. I shall prostrate before King Prithu who desired to have thousands of ears to listen to the glories of the Supreme Lord, sadly the wicked Jeeva enjoys listening to the ill fame and rumors as if they have possessed thousands of ears. I shall offer salutation to the wicked find fault in others as if they have possessed thousands of eyes like Lord Indhra who is the Lord of deities, has possessed thousands of eyes, and Vajrayudha as a weapon, sadly the wicked Jeeva uses thousands of eyes to find fault in others.
