Chapter – 138– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– The beauty of the sacred land Chitrakoot
The deities continuously sang in praise of
the sacred land Chithrakoot and the living and non-living things on this sacred
land, such as animals, birds, rivers, streams, mountains, hills, creepers,
forests, etc. that has achieved the fortune to bear the footprints of Lord
Rama, Devi Sita, and Lakshman and behold the beauty of the pairs and Lakshman.
All the living things on this sacred land achieved the fruitfulness of their
eyes by merely watching the marvelous appearance of Rama, and the non-living things
achieved fortune by bearing the dust particles from the feet of the Lord. In this
way, the living and non-living things on the Chithrakoot achieved an abundance
of piousness in the presence of Lord Rama, thereby got released from grief and
sufferings. How shall I describe the meritorious reward of the sacred land/forest
and hills which were occupied as a shelter place, by the supreme Bhramam who is the
ocean of mercy? The beauty of the Chitrakoot where the supreme Lord Rama
settled along with Devi Sita and Lakshman after abandoning the beautiful milky
ocean and Kingdom of Ayodhya were beyond description even for the hundreds and
thousands of Adishesha. Hence, how can I describe them all, will it be possible
for a tortoise living in the puddle to elevate Mount Mandhara? Lakshman who is
devoted by word, mind, and deeds, sincerely waited for the instructions from his
elder brother Rama.
Chithrakoot Ke Bihaga MrigaBeli Bitapa
Thrina Jathi| Punya PUnja Sab Dhanya Asa Kahahi Deva Dhina Rathi ||
Nayanavantha Raghubarahi Biloki | Payi
Janama Phala Hohi Bisoki || Parasi Charana Raja Achara Sukhari | Bhaye Parama
Padha Ke Adhikari || So Banu Sailu
Subhaya Suhavana | Mangalamaya Athi Pavana Pavana || Mahima Kahia Kavani Bidhi
Thasu | Sukhasagara Jaha Keenha Nivasu || Paya Payodhi Thaji Avadha Bihayi |
Jaha Siya Lakhanu Ramu Rahe Ayi || Kahi
Na Sakahi Sushama Jasi Kanana |Jau Sath Sahasa Hohi Sahasanana
|| So Mei Barani Kahau Bidhi Kehi | Dabara Kamada Ki Mandhara Lehi || Sevahi
Lakhanu Karama Mana Bani | Jayi Na Seelu
Sanehu Bakhani ||
