Chapter – 59– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Eighty Thousand Years of Akhanda Samadhi of Lord Shiva – Dhaksha was elected as chief of Prajapathis

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks, “Devi Sati sincerely appealed to Lord Sri Ramachandra, “Oh! Samadharshi/impartial Lord, kindly help me to get rid of this body of Dhaksha Kanya, and protect me from this unbearable grief of separation from Lord Mahadeva.” The days in solitude spent in the abode of Kailasha were extremely painful for Devi Sati, in this way, eighty thousand years were passed, Lord Shiva who spent all these years in a transcendental state, leaving Devi Sati in utter desolation. Finally, the Supreme Lord got awaken from the deep meditation, reciting Sri Ramanama. Devi Sati listened to the utterance of Ramanama, rushed on her feet to meet Lord Mahadeva, and reverentially prostrated before him and stood before him with folded hands. Lord Shambhu instructed Devi Sati to be seated opposite to him, like any other disciple, and began to describe marvelous legends of Lord Sri Hari. In the meantime, Lord Bhrama designated Dhakshaprajapathi as the most eligible to perform the duties as the chief of Prajapathi made him immensely happy. There is no creature in the whole Universe free from Shadguna/jealousy, pride, ego, anger, lust, and desire, the new status as the chief of Prajapathi got into his head, Dhaksha became so arrogant.”
