Chapter – 10– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya
Kanda– Sage Sutheekshna eulogizes the splendor of Lord Rama
Sage Sutheekshna repeatedly prostrated at
the lotus feet of Lord Rama, and took Rama to his hermitage, received him with
great honor. Sage Sutheekshna spoke “Oh! Prabho, how can I eulogize your
glories? You are beyond description, if I make an attempt to describe your
splendor that would be my foolishness, like the firefly competing with the
brightness of the sun. Oh! Prabho, I shall meditate upon the Supreme Lord Rama,
Lord of Raghu's, who has attractive blue limbs resemble freshly formed dark
clouds, attired in a saffron robe, adorned in matted hair locks, wielded in bow
and arrow on one hand, and the quiver tied on the waist. He is supreme Bhramam
resemble the woodfire that burns the forest like delusion in the Jeeva, you are
the sun that causes to blossom the lotus-like hearts of the Sages and Rishis, you
resemble the lion that kills the heard of elephants like demons, you resemble the
king of birds chase its prey, may that supreme Lord protect us always! I shall
meditate upon Lord Rama who has beautiful eyes that resemble red lotus flower
petals, he is attired in magnificent clothes, resembles the full moon to the
Chakora like eyes of Devi Sita, he resembles swan that takes pleasure in
Manasarovar like the heart of Lord Shiva. He has a wide chest, long arms, and strong
shoulder, he resembles the King of birds that devour the serpent-like
misconception of the Jeeva, he removes conflicts and despair, he liberates the
Jeeva from the repeated cycles of rebirths, he is the delight of deities and
Raghu’s clan, he is an embodiment of kindness and compassion, may that supreme
Lord protect us always! I shall sing in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra who
reduces the burden of Earth, he has Saguna and Nirgunaswaroopa as well, he is
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam which is the source of functioning of the mind,
intellect, Chitta, Ahamkara, Karma and Gnanendhriya, and Prana. He is pure and
unblemished, free from afflictions, changeless, has neither birth nor death. He
resembles wish-fulfilling Kalpathru to his ardent devotees, he removes the
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and
Mamakara of the Jeeva, he is the safest bridge to cross the ocean of worldly
existence, may that delight of solar race protects us always! I shall meditate
upon the Supreme Lord Rama who has powerful arms, immense valor, he is the
essence of righteousness, virtues, whose very name remove the evil effects of
Kali era may propitious to us always! I shall pray to that supreme Lord Rama
who is the slayer of Khara and Dhooshana, he is all-pervasive supreme Bhramam,
pure, unblemished, dispassionate, changeless, reside as a soul in the Jeeva, gracefully
moving all over the woods with Devi Sita and young brother Lakshman may reside
in my heart always! I shall meditate upon the Supreme Lord Rama who is Saguna
and Nirgunaswaroopa, reside as a soul in the Jeeva, and the knower of all hearts,
that lotus-eyed Lord of Kosala may take up his abode in my heart as well! I
shall earnestly pray for the perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Rama which
remind me always that I am the servant of my Master Lord Raghu, even in the
hours of bad luck.” Lord Rama was highly pleased with the devotion of Sage
Sutheekshna, he embraced the Sage again and again and spoke “Oh! Mahatma, I am
highly pleased with your devotion, you may kindly ask for a boon.” Sage replied
fervently “Oh! Prabho, I have never desired for a boon, you are the delighter
of your devotees, Oh! Lord of Raghu, kindly provide me a boon which pleases
you.” Lord Raghu spoke “Oh! Mahathma, may you become the repository of virtues,
wisdom, intense devotion, and dispassion!” Sage Sutheekshna overwhelmed with
various emotions, and spoke in tears “Oh! Prabho, you have provided the boon
which I have been yearning all long in my heart.”
