Chapter – 15– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Kishkindha Kanda– Paramarththa Thaththva

 

Rama spoke “Oh! Lakshman, the Earth has soaked in water and greens, hence it is difficult to find the footprints, just as the sacred scriptures permeated with doctrines are difficult to understand for the ignorant Jeeva. Oh! Lakshman, all I could hear was the croaking of the frogs, which resembles the Vedic chants of a large number of disciples in the hermitage. The trees, creepers, and plants are loaded with fresh leaves that resemble the cheerful and enthusiastic minds of the wise and intellectuals who have attained the supreme wisdom of Paramarththa. The fallen leaves of the Javasa plant resemble the wicked and deceitful Jeeva meets miserable end under the excellent statesmanship. Oh! Lakshman, the Earth is soaked in water, there is not a single speck of dust is visible, like the austerities, penance, vows, celibacy, Shamadhamadhi, etc. removes the impurities of the mind of the Sadhaka/seeker of truth. The earth is bountiful with rich natural and mineral wealth that resembles the affluence of the generous man. The pack of fireflies in the dark hours of the night appears as a band of hypocrites to me. The fields are flooded with water that destroyed the crops like the women get spoiled of excessive freedom. The clever farmers pull out the crops from the flooded waters in the fields, as if the wise abandon the interest in worldly matters and interest in material things of destructible nature. The Chakravaha birds are not seen, as if the virtues and moralities are disappeared in the Kali era. Although the downpour spread water equally on the Earth, the barren lands remain the same without a single shoot of grass, like the need for physical pleasures does not touch the devotees of Lord Hari. The Earth looks beautiful with bountiful crops and living creatures as if the Kingdom grows with its population. Oh! Lakshman, the pedestrians have halted here and there in this rainy season, as if the wisdom brought control over the senses.”
