Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Sundara Kanda – Initial prayer – The King of ocean advises Mount Mainka to receive Kapishwara with great respect

 


Chapter – 1– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara Kanda– The King of ocean advises Mount Mainka to receive Kapishwara with great respect

 

I shall prostrate before the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who is Bhoopalachoodamani/Lord of Kings on the Earth, born in the illustrious clan of Raghus. He is extremely compassionate and kind to his devotees, he has a pleasing personality, he is supreme Bhramam, which is free from impurities, unblemished, pure, changeless, eternal, and the ultimate source of Nirvana/renunciation. He is worshiped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Shambhu, Adishesha/Phaneendra, he is eulogized by Veda and scriptures. He is the omnipresent supreme Lord Rama, dispeller of darkness of ignorance and sins, he is Jagadheeshwara, he is the preceptor of the deities, personified as Rama, he is supreme Lord Sri Hari personified as the son of King Dasaratha.

 

Oh! Raghupathe, I shall tell you the truth, Oh! Prabho, I   have no desires in my heart, you are the knower of all, you are that supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva. Oh! Raghupungavah, kindly provide me intense devotion at your lotus feet/Ananya Bhakti, so that I would get rid of impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara.

 

Oh! Vathathmaja/son of Lord Vayu, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Prabho, you are the ardent devotee of Lord Sri Ramachandra, you have immense might, valor, and courage, you have great stature resembles Mount Sumeru/golden mountain, you are wisdom personified, you are the destroyer of wicked demons, you are the storehouse of virtues, and you are the commander of Vanara.

 

Hanuman was extremely delighted to get inspired by the elderly Jambavan, he bowed before all the Vanaras and Jambavan and spoke in great enthusiasm “Oh! Dear friends, I shall keep myself away from fruits, rooted vegetables, and leaves, until and unless I meet Devi Sita and receive a message from her. I am certain that I will complete the task of Lord Sri Ramachandra and return successfully.” Thus, Hanuman set out to cross the mighty ocean contemplating upon the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra. He took a flight to the beautiful hill, and took a seat on the huge hill situated on the seashore, again and again, he contemplated upon the supreme Lord Rama and Lord Vayu, he took a giant leap on the sky with all his might. The hill on which he was standing was crushed under his feet while he was taking a flight to the sky, he had the speed of a powerful arrow released from the bow of Rama. The presiding deity of the ocean eulogized Mount Mainaka, and advised to create a pause on the journey of Hanuman who is the emissary of Lord Rama so that he can relax for a while and get rid of the exhaustion of long flight.
