Chapter
– 190– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The naming ceremony of Lord Sri
Rama, Bharatha, and Shathrughna
Sage
Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, the entire Kingdom experienced immense bliss, and
wished all the auspiciousness to the children of King Dhasharatha and his
consorts, “May the four sons of King Dhasharatha and his consorts live longer!
May the Lord of Tulsidas live longer!” Thus, days were passed in utmost bliss,
finally, the day has arrived for the naming ceremony of the children.
Dasaratha reverentially invited family priest Sage Vashishta, provided him a
seat, and spoke with folded hands “Oh! Guro, kindly performs the naming ceremony
of our children, as you have already decided in your mind.” Sage Vashishta
spoke “Oh! Rajan, your children bear various sacred names and are unique, although
I shall reveal the names that came into my thoughts. Listen to me carefully,
your eldest son is the ocean of mercy, virtues, and wisdom, he is the bliss
personified, hence he would spread joy and compassion to the three worlds, he
would be the remover of grief and agony of worldly existence, hence I shall
name him ‘Rama’. Oh! Rajan, your second
son would be highly devoted, virtuous, would be the sustainer and preserver of
the Universe, hence I shall name him ‘Bharatha’. Oh! Rajan, the infant born along
with Bharatha, I shall address him ‘Shathrughna’ who would surpass the enemies,
would be highly eulogized in the Veda.”
Mana Santhoshe Sabanhi Ke Jaha Thaha Dhehi Aseesa | Sakala Thanaya
Chira Jeevahu Tulasidasa Ke Eesa ||
Kacchuka Dhivasa Beethe Yehi Bhanthi |
Jatha Na Jania Dhin Aru Rathi ||
Namakarana Kara Avasaru Jani | Bhoop Bholi Padye Muni Gyani || Kari Pooja Bhoopathi Asa Bhasha | Dharia Nama Jo Muni
Guni Rakha || Inha Ke Nama Aneka Anoopa
| Mei Nripa Kahab Svamathi Anuroopa ||
Jo Anandha Sindhu Sukharasi | Seekar The
Thrailoka Supasi || So Sukha Dhama Rama Asa Nama | Akhila Loka
Dhayaka Bishrama || Bisva Bharana
Poshana Kar Joyi | Thakar Nama Bharath Asa Hoyi || Jake Sumirana The
Ripu Nasa | Nama Sathruhana Bedha Prakasa ||
