Chapter – 311– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda– The deities disguised as twice-born to attend the wedding ceremony of
Rama and Devi Sita
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Lord
Rama was taken a sanctified seat already arranged on the dais, women attired in
finest garments, adorned in several ornaments, holding a tray full of Mangaladhraya
and earthen lamps removed the evil eyes on Rama, they sang melodiously and the
whole crowd rejoiced at the loveliness of Rama. Lord Bhrama and deities
disguised as twice-born took great pleasure in the merriment, they gazed at the
Sacchidhanandaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam who is the delight of lotus like
Raghu clan, attired in groom’s garments, attractive dark cloud limbs beautifully
adorned in various ornaments, such as crown, armlets, girdle, upper clothes covered the
broad chest, revealing half of the strong shoulders, conch shaped neck adorned
in gem and pearl decorated ornaments, sacred thread across the chest, etc.
thus, the deities achieved the fruitfulness of their lives. Further the
attendants, royal performers, and dancers bowed heads before Rama and received his
blessings. All the customary rites were performed according to the two
illustrious clan, following the rites prescribed on the Veda. King Janaka and
King Dhasharatha embraced each other with great love, the poets assembled
failed to describe the devotion and love shared between these two monarchs, the
deities surprised to witness the mutual respect and loved shared by these two
illustrious monarchs, showered flowers in extreme joy, and sang melodiously
praising the glories of the Kings, and eulogized “Ever since the creation of
Bhrama has begun, this is the one and only grand celestial wedding we are
witnessing, although we have heard of several celestial weddings, but the
grandeur of wedding ceremony organized by the bride and groom parties is well-balanced,
in an appropriate manner.” These words were echoed in the heaven brought
extreme bliss to all, King Dhasharatha led by King Janaka walked through the
majestic carpeted pathways to the pavilion with all respects and offered water
to wash hands.”
