Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramacharitha is the silk thread woven on the ordinary clothing that would seize the attention of all

 

Chapter – 15 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramacharitha is the silk thread woven on the ordinary clothing would seize the attention of all

 

There were several illustrious Rishis, Sages, scholars, Maharishi Vedavyasa, and intellectuals have sung in praise of the virtues of Lord Sri Ramachandra, hence it would be highly favorable for me to describe the splendor of Lord of Raghu. The compositions of these eminent scholars resemble the Kings construct a huge bridge across the river, that would be gifted even to the ants cross the river. I shall prostrate before the illustrious Maharishi Vedavyasa, and Sages who have sung in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and pray to shower their eternal grace upon me. I shall prostrate before the scholars and intellectuals of the Kali era, and I shall prostrate before all those poets who were sung in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and the scholars of the superior class of twice-born who have wide knowledge in Sanskrit, and the poets strive hard in the past and the scholars yet to come into the scene. I shall earnestly pray to them to offer a particular boon that Sri Ramacharitha written out of my love of devotion should achieve the greatest admiration among the pious and noble souls.   Usually the work of unknown poets would remain overlooked and discarded by the intellectuals and scholars who prefer to take notice of prose and poetry of charm and skills, like the sacred river Ganga is highly admired as Thrividha Thapaharini among the rivers, even though the fame of Lord Sri Ramachandra is indescribable and matchless, I am scared of the absence of my knowledge and poetic skills. I am certain that the grace of all those poets in the past, present, and future would make the Sri Ramacharitha renowned, like the silk thread woven on the ordinary clothing, would definitely seize the attention of all.
