Chapter – 1– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya
Kanda– The initial
I shall prostrate before Lord Shankara who
is the essence of righteousness, piety, and wisdom, initiated from the clan of Lord
Bhrama, beloved of Lord Sri Ramachandra, like the full moon provides bliss to the
ocean, the sunlight that causes to blossom the lotus flower. He dispels the
darkness of ignorance in the Jeeva, destroys the sins, and removes grief and
agony of worldly existence.
I shall prostrate before Lord Sri
Ramachandra along with Lakshman, who is the source of bliss, attired in
majestic yellow silk garment, he has attractive blue limbs resemble the freshly
formed rain clouds, he is wielded in powerful bow and arrows, and the
quiver fastened on the waist, he has beautiful large eyes resembles blue lotus
flower petals, he is adorned on matted hair locks.
The legend of Goddess Uma’s meeting with
Lord Rama is mysterious, the Sages and learned developed dispassion/Vairagya appreciate
it, while the ignorant Jeeva drenched in worldly matters, and chasing after physical
pleasures, keep away themselves from the practice of devotion to Lord Hari
would get bewildered listening to those glorious legends.
I have illustrated the pure love and
devotion of Bharatha and the faith of the people of Ayodhya at the lotus feet
of Lord Sri Ramachandra to the best of my ability. I shall describe the glorious
deeds of Lord Sri Ramachandra in the woods that was performed for the delight
of deities, hermits, and Rishis. On one occasion, Rama picked up a handful of fresh
alluring flowers of rich fragrance and created a garland for Devi Sita, who was
seated on the crystal rock. Rama made a few flower ornaments too for his
dearest consort and decked her with his own hands. At that moment, the
dull-witted son of Lord Indra took the form of a crow, wanted to test the might
of Lord Sri Ramachandra, like the ignorant dive into the bottomless ocean to
measure its depth. The son of Lord Indra disguised as a crow jabbed on the feet
of Devi Sita and flew away, Lord Raghu noticed only when the blood was oozing
out of the wound on her feet, it infuriated Lord prepared to shoot an arrow
aiming at the crow.
