Chapter – 100– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Sage Yajjavalkya begins to describe the glorious legend of Sri Rama to Sage Bharadhwaja

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks  “Oh! Mune, I have thoroughly known your devotion while describing the glorious legends of Lord Shiva, you are an innocent soul, free from impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and a staunch devotee of Lord Sri Rama. Oh! Mune, I know your boundless virtues and austerities, I shall narrate the glorious legends of Sri Raghupathi as well.  Kindly listen to me carefully. I am extremely delighted that I have met you, the legends of Lord Sri Raghupathi are vast like the bottomless ocean, even the thousand hooded Adhishesha is incompetent to describe them all. Nevertheless, I shall contemplate upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra who is wielded in bow and arrow, and Devi Sarada who is the Goddess of excellence in speech, and I shall begin to describe the glorious legend of Lord of Raghus. Devi Sarada who is the excellence in speech would be the puppet and Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the controller of sense would be taken a good control of the words flew out of my face, thus take control of the strings attached to the puppet. The supreme Lord Rama would bless the poet who describes the legend to be seated on the patio like the hearts of the staunch devotees, and would cause the Goddess Sarada appears as a puppet that describes the legend of Sri Ramacharitha beautifully, and dance in their hearts. I shall reverentially prostrate before the supreme Lord Ragupathi, and begins to describe his endless virtues seated on the supreme abode of Mount Kailash which is the dwelling place of Lord Shambhu and  Goddess Bhavani.”
