Chapter – 32– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Rama performs the final rites of Jatayu - Kabandha Moksha

 

The King of Birds, Jatayu achieved intense devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari as a boon and proceed to the abode of Lord Hari. Rama performed the final rites of Jatayu, thus the compassionate Lord Rama proved his impartial nature to his devotees, ultimately Jatayu who was born in the lowly clan of vultures, carnivores by nature attained Paramamgathi which is difficult to achieve even for the Yogis. Lord Mahadeva speaks to Devi Uma “Oh! Devi, listen to me carefully, the unfortunate Jeeva move afar from the pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari and get attached to the material matters of worldly existence such as wealth, richness, money, fame, family, children, wife, relatives and companions, etc…and the infinite Nama, Rasa, Roopa, Gandha, and Sparsha. The two brothers proceeded to the dense forest in search of Devi Sita, conducted a demanding exploration, on their way they met the demon Kabandha who got killed at the hands of Rama, while leaving the mortal coil Kabandha explained the curse of Sage Durvassa, and praised Lord Rama for showering mercy upon him. The compassionate Lord Rama pacified “Oh! Kabandha, Oh! Gandharva, I can’t bear the merciless act on Bhramins.”
