Chapter – 2– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Jayantha’/son the Lord Indra   mischievousness against Devi Sita

 

The Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who is compassionate and kind, has always pleasing nature could not bear the mischievousness of the crow, when repeatedly played its trick. The arrow aimed at the crow chased it all the way to Indraloka. Indra’s son Jayantha assumed his real form and took shelter at his father, but Indra refused to protect him for his atrocity towards Lord Rama. Thus, he became disappointed like the Sage Durvass who was chased after by the fiery discus of the Lord. He rushed to the Bhramaloka all weary and tired, and Lord Shiva and other deities as well, but none of them were dared to protect him for the sin committed to Lord Rama, none of the deities want to give protection to the enemy of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the Jeeva who keeps enmity to Lord Rama would experience his/her parents as Lord Yama, friends as thousands of enemies, and the nectar as venom, and the celestial river Ganga becomes Vaitharini for them and the whole world seems to be the furnace for them. Maharishi Narada found Jayantha in utter distress, the Sages are always kind and the savior of distressed people advised him to take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Jayantha rushed to Lord and fallen at his feet and cried “Oh! Prabho, you are the savior of the distressed soul, I shall surrender at your lotus feet, kindly protect me, Oh! Lord of Raghu, I am an ignorant Jeeva did not realize the incomparable might and matchless glory of you. I have reaped the fruit of my wicked deed, finally, I have taken shelter at your lotus feet, Oh! Prabho, kindly protect me.” Lord Shambhu speaks “Oh! Parvathi, the gracious Lord Prabhu Sri Ramachandra who is kind to Jeeva, released Jayantha from fear, further Jayantha lost one of his eyes as a punishment for his wickedness to Jaganmatha Paramba Bhagavathi Devi Sita.”
