Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ayodhya Kanda – The beauty of the sacred land Chithrakoot

 



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.
