Chapter – 143– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The pure love and devotion of Devi Shatharoopa and Manu upon supreme Lord Hari and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi

The supreme Lord Hari was highly pleased witnessing the pure love and devotion of the couple, Manu and Devi Shatharoopa, and instructed the couple to ask for a boon. Raja Manu with folded hands after regaining immense courage began to spoke in a soft tone “Oh! Prabho, after witnessing your marvelous form, we have left with no desires, you have already fulfilled all our desires. Yet, we have a desire lingering in our hearts, desires sprout up effortlessly in no time, but it is difficult to accomplish, hence it is good to remain undisclosed forever.  Oh! Prabho, you are merciful, and there is nothing impossible for you to grant, but the wretched situation won’t permit me to nurture my wish like the pauper gets ashamed to ask for wealth from the wish-fulfilling Kalpatharu which capable to provide all that desired in abundance, like that pauper I hardly know the glories of the supreme Lord. Oh! Prabho, you are all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, resides as a soul in the Jeeva, source of functioning of the mind, intellect, Karma, Gnanendhriyas, Ahamkara, Prana, Mamakara, etc. you are the knower of all, you are Antharyami, and fulfills all the desire of the worshiper, hence kindly fulfill my desire too.” The compassionate Lord spoke “Oh! Rajan, kindly asks for a boon, there is nothing impossible for me to grant as a boon for my devotees.”
