Chapter – 104– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Devi Bhavani appeals to Lord Shambhu to describe the birth and various amusements of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Devi Bhavani repeatedly prostrated before Lord Shambhu and stood with folded hands before Shambhu “Oh! Prabho, kindly narrate the glorious legend of Prabhu Sri Ramachandra, which was highly eulogized by the Veda and scriptures.  Women are considered impure by birth, even though do not deserve to achieve deep knowledge in Paramarththa Thaththva, kindly consider me as your sincere servant by word, deed, and mind and share it with me.  The supreme ascetic would not mind sharing the impenetrable truth with the Jeeva who is drenched in sufferings of worldly existence, therefore whoever in agony and miseries are deserved to get alleviated from the sorrows of Samsara. Oh! Prabho, kindly be gracious and describe the endless virtues of Lord Sri Ramachandra, thereby remove my ignorance and misconception that mounted grief in me. Why did the Nirgunaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam assume as the Sagunaswaroopa Sri Ramachandra? Oh! Prabho kindly describes the splendor of the clan of Raghu's and various childhood amusements of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Oh! Prabho, kindly describe the celestial wedding of Lord Rama with Devi Janaki, why did the Lord Sri Rama, along with Devi Sita and Lakshman leave the Kingdom of Ayodhya? Oh! Prabho kindly narrates the life of Rama in the dense wood of Dhandakavana, and the incidents that took place while living in the forest, and finally the vicious battle between Rama and the demon Ravana of the Kingdom of Lanka. Oh! Sukhasheela, Oh! Shankara kindly describes various passionate sports of that Lord Sri Ramachandra and the coronation ceremony of Rama as the King of Ayodhya.”
