Chapter – 4– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Sage Athri eulogizes the splendor of Rama

 

The illustrious Sage Athri, took feast of the charming appearance of Lord with his eyes, and eulogized Lord Rama in brilliant verses –


“I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ramachandra who is Bhakthavathsala/benevolent to his devotees, Oh! Prabho, you are merciful and pleasing natured, I shall worship at your lotus feet, which is the supreme abode of your fervent devotees, Oh! Prabho, you have a charming appearance, you liberate the Jeeva from the ocean-like grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, you have beautiful eyes that resemble fully blossomed lotus flower, you destroy the impurities of Kama/lust, Krodha/anger, Lobha/greed, Moha/desire, Madha/arrogance, Mathshcharya/jealousy, Ahamkara/pride, and Mamakara/possession of the Jeeva. Oh! Prabho, you have mighty arms, you are extremely valorous, Oh! Prabho you are incomparable, you are beyond perception, you have wielded in bow and arrow, you are the Lord of three worlds. Oh! Prabho, you are the delight of Dhineshavamsha/sun race, you have broken the Bhavachapa/Maheshachapa, you are the delight of the Munindhra/Rishis and Sages, you are worshiped by the deities and you are the destroyer of enemies of the deities, you are worshiped by Lord Shambu who is the enemy of Kamadeva. Oh! Prabho, you are that supreme consciousness, you are the destroyer of impurities of the mind, Oh! Indirapathi, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Prabho, you are the source of bliss and liberation from repeated births. I shall prostrate before Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita and Lakshman, Oh! Prabho, you are the beloved brother of the consort of Goddess Shachi/Lord Indra, Oh! Mortals, do not ruin your life, undertake worship at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra which is the source of all kinds of auspiciousness, it would protect you from repeated birth like Bhavarnnava/the dense wood of forest of worldly existence full of miseries and grief. Whoever meditate and contemplate upon the supreme Lord Sri Ramchandra would get liberated from the sufferings of worldly existence, whoever undertake austerities, and practice control over senses would achieve purity of mind and serenity. The Supreme Lord Ramachandra is the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam incarnated as the son of King Dasaratha, he is omnipotent, and omniscient as well. Oh! Prabho, you are beyond description, you are unblemished, you are the protector of the Jeeva, you are that supreme Bhramam personified as Rama, you are the Universal preceptor, you are eternal, you are not perceivable, Oh! Prabho, you are perceivable for your ardent devotees, you are far beyond the reach of the wicked and deceitful Jeeva. Oh! Prabho, you are that Kalpadhruma /wish-fulfilling tree, that fulfills all the desires of the worshiper, you are beyond comparison. Oh! Prabho, you have a charming appearance, you are Bhoopathi/ King of Ayodhya, I shall repeatedly prostrate before the Lord of Devi Seetha, kindly shower your auspicious grace on us.  Oh! Prabho, kindly provide us intense devotion to Your lotus feet. Whoever read or write the above verses with intense faith would achieve devotion, ultimately attain your supreme abode.”
