Chapter – 79– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Devi Parvathi’s conversation with the Saptharishis

 

The Saptharishis continued “Oh! Devi, Lord Mahadeva is a mendicant, Bhava is dispassionate, lives on alms, and sleeps wherever he feels, lives in solitude, he has no home to live, how did a woman live without a home? Or enjoy life in the open like Mahadeva? Hence, kindly listen to our advice, you may get the finest groom enriched with virtues, auspiciousness, prosperity, fame, wealth, charm, and glory. We have found an excellent match for you; he is exceptionally good-looking and Veda has sung in praise of him. The Supreme Lord Vishnu is unblemished, most charming, promising resides in the milky ocean with his consort Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, and he has the finest abode as Vaikunda/free from grief, we feel he is the appropriate groom for you.” Devi Bhavani laughed out and spoke “Oh! Mahathma, you have rightly observed me as solid as a rock, same as the precious yellow metal another product from the mine that does not leave its preciousness in the blaze, I would prefer to give up my Prana, instead of choosing somebody in place of Mahadeva as a wedded husband. Oh! Mahathma, I have taken a vow to sincerely follow the words of my preceptor Maharishi Narada, I have immense faith in my preceptor, let my home doom in despair, I won’t get alarmed. Whoever does not follow the words of their preceptor could not achieve auspiciousness and welfare not even in their dreams.”
