Chapter – 191– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda– The naming ceremony of Lakshmana
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, finally,
the child born just before Shathrughna, is the abode of splendid
characteristics, the inseparable and most beloved of Sri Rama, and the bearer
of the Universe was named as ‘Lakshman’ by the royal priest Sage Vashishta. The
preceptor spoke after a deep thought “Oh! Rajan, your four sons are the essence
of Veda, your elder son Rama is beloved of Lord Shiva, sought after by Rishis,
Sages, Siddhas, through various austerities and penance, is the treasure of
ascetics. He would perform various childhood sports that would provide immense
delight to the hearts of noble souls.” Lakshmana has grown highly devoted to Rama,
became inseparable, considered his elder brother as a benefactor, and his
Master showered great devotion at the lotus feet of Rama. The love and
brotherhood shared with Bharatha and Shathrughna were beyond comparison, was the
Master and servant, devoted and inseparable from each other. Mothers watched
the beauty of their infants, one in dark cloud complexion and the other in fair
complexion, moving all around in pairs and their various amusements with
immense delight, they often pluck out the grass to remove the evil eyes on
their lovely children. The four brothers were an ocean of beauty, wisdom, and
virtue, yet Rama outshined all three of them. He spread intense delight
like the cool rays of the moon, with the captivating smile revealing the tiny
protruding teeth, sometimes taking a seat on mother’s lap or sitting on the
cradle.”
