Chapter – 99– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda –‘Phalashruthi’/the benefits of listening and reading the glorious celestial wedding of Shambhu and Bhavani and the birth of Lord Kumara would bring Dharma, Arththa, Kama, Moksha.

 

The legend of Lord Shamugha, and the glorious birth related to the six-faced Lord, are widely known to the world, hence I have briefly explained them.  Whoever sings in praise or listens or writes the celestial wedding of the Goddess Uma and Lord Shambhu, and the legend of the son of Brishakethu/Lord Kumara would achieve Purusharththa/Dharma, Arththa, Kama, and Moksha, they would achieve all the auspiciousness and welfare in their lives. The legend of Girija Ramana is an unfathomable ocean, even the Vedas are incompetent to describe them, hence how could this dull-minded Tulsi describe them?”

 

Sage Bharadhwaja was highly delighted to listen to the glorious legends of Lord Shambhu and Goddess Bhavani, his eagerness and enthusiasm to listen them grown beyond boundaries, eyes welled up in tears, bodily hairs stood upright in extreme delight, was overpowered by the emotion, could not utter a word. Sage Yajjavalkya was highly pleased to watch the devotion and pure love of the Sage Bharadhwaja at the lotus feet of Shambhu and Bhavani, exclaimed “Oh! Mune, you are the fortunate one, you have achieved the fruitfulness of your life, you are a staunch devotee of Lord Gaureesha, and the glorious legends of the divine couple are dear as your life. The devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Shambhu and Bhavani is the achievement of devotion at the lotus feet of Raghupathi who is beloved of Goddess Rama. Whoever devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Shambhu are the staunch devotees of Lord Rama.  The supreme Lord Raghupathi is Vrathadhari who sincerely follows the austerities, vows, and promises, he is none other than Lord Shiva, and there is no chaste woman like Devi Sati. Whoever devoted to Lord Raghupathi, won’t find any differentiation in Hari and Hara.
