Chapter – 159 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The mendicant gives lectures on the significant role Bhoodevatha/twice-born on the Earth – No one can protect from the wrath of Bhramin

 

King Prathapbhanu repeatedly prostrate before the hermit and spoke “Oh! Sage, kindly provide me a boon to get freed from Jara/aging, Marana/death, Dhukha/grief, of Samsara, kindly bless me to remain unconquerable and take great pleasure in the immense wealth, possession, fame, richness, for hundreds of Kalpa and bless me to remain free from foes.”

 

The hermit spoke “Oh! Rajan, death is inevitable, but the Lord death would bow before the twice-born who are Bhramajjanis, courageous, possesses immense prowess, undertake various austerities, vows, celibacy, Tapasya is Bhoodevatha/deities on the Earth, hence no one can save from the wrath of the twice-born. If you propitiate the twice-born by relentlessly serving them, even the Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu and Lord Rudra would follow your command. I shall raise both the hands to the sky and promise you and declare the absolute truth that there is no one superior to twice-born/Bhoodevatha, and no might will work against them. Oh! Rajan, if you propitiate the twice-born all your desires would get fulfilled, all the grief and sufferings of mundane existence would get removed, hence protect yourself from the curse of twice-born.” King Prathapbhanu highly pleased to listen to the hermit and spoke “Oh! Noble one, you have taught me the greatest lesson, therefore all that I have desired would get fulfilled with your grace. I shall strive to achieve the blessings of the twice-born and remain unconquerable always.”
