Chapter -7 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Devi Mandodhari’s prayers to Ravana

 

Devi Mandodhari spoke in tears “Oh! Beloved Lord, kindly leave your animosity against Lord of Raghu, kindly return Devi Sita to him, and crown your elder son as the King of Lanka, so that we can retire to wood contemplating upon the lotus feet of Lord Raghu. He is too kind and compassionate; he will forgive you. Oh! Prabho, even the wild animal tiger won’t attack humans, if they go submissively before it. Oh! Prabho, you have achieved all that you have desired in your life, you have conquered humans, deities, and demons, and all those animate and inanimate things in this world. Oh! Prabho, the Rishis, and Sages recommend that a Grihastha should retire to the forest at the fourth stage of their lives. Oh! Beloved Lord, we should adore the supreme Lord who is the creator, preserver, and destroyer as well, let us renounce all the worldly matters and possessions, and worship Lord of Raghu who is the source of eternal bliss and auspiciousness. He is the Lord of Raghu who is worshiped and contemplated by the Rishis, Sages, and Yogis undertaking various austerities, vows, penances, Shamadhamadhi, and several illustrious Kings renounced their throne contemplating upon that Lord has come to shower his grace on us. Oh! Prabho, if you dearly love me, kindly accept my advice, leave your animosity against Lord of Raghu, and your glories would be sung in praise in the fourteen spheres.”
