Chapter – 94– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Rama and Lakshman prepares to adopt the life of a hermit

 

Lakshman continues “Oh! Guha, the supreme Bramham has personified on Earth, for the welfare of cows, Brahmins, deities, and noble souls. That gracious Lord is performing deeds like an ordinary human, mere listening to his glories would remove the grief of worldly existence, and release the Jeeva from the repeated cycles of birth. Oh! Friend, leave all your grief, and anger, and take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord of Raghu Lord Sri Ramachandra.” Lakshman continued to describe the virtues of Rama to Guha, thus the whole night has passed without their knowledge. Soon the Lord of Raghu woke up at Bhramamuhurtha, went for ablutions, ‘does the supreme Bhramam requires any cleansing?’  and performed his morning rite. He called out for Lakshman to bring milk of the Banyan tree to tie the matted hair locks on the pinnacle of the head, the two brothers applied the milk of Banyan tree on their head and tied hair locks, while watching the princes takes up the life of a hermit, Sumanthra could not control his tears with folded hands prayed to Rama “Oh! Sons, The King of Kosala advised me to bring three of you back to the palace after taking a dip in the river Ganga. He instructed me to bring back three of you at the earliest, he is expecting your return to home.”
