Chapter – 48– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara Kanda– Lord Rama gets highly pleased with the pure love and devotion of Vibheeshana

 

Vibheeshana stood before Lord Sri Ramachandra, with folded hands, eyes drenched in tears, began to speak, his voice trailed “Oh! Raghubira, I have envisioned your magnificent form which I was heard from Santh Mahathma and noble souls, I have taken shelter at your lotus feet with the belief that I would get rid of sufferings and grief of worldly existence, and the fear of repeated births. Oh! Prabho, kindly protects me! Kindly protects me! Oh! Aarathiharana/dispeller of illusion, Oh! Sukhadha/ source of bliss kindly protects me.” Vibheeshana repeatedly prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Ramachandra, who rose from the seat with immense delight. Lord Sri Ramachandra was highly pleased to watch the devotion of Vibheeshana, he rushed towards him and embraced him affectionately. Vibheeshana met Lakshman, thus Lord Sri Ramachandra made him seat next to him and began to speak the words of supreme wisdom which is capable to dispel the ignorance and illusion “Oh! Lankapathi, Vibheeshana, how are you and your family? How did you practice meditation and devotion amidst the demons? You are living in the middle of wicked and horrible demons of vile nature, Oh! Friend, how did you manage to practice devotion living in the abhorrent circumstance. I am surprised to watch your amiability and devotion, you are a noble soul pushed to live in the inferior clan of demons, and it is worse than hell. Oh! Vibeeshana, we shall pray not to fall in the company of wrong-doers.” Vibheeshana spoke in delight “Oh! Prabho, all must be well at my end immediately after observing your lotus feet. Oh! Kosalapathi, Oh! Raghuraya, you have showered compassionate grace upon me knowing me as your sincere servant.”
