Chapter – 60– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara Kanda– Lord Rama invokes Agneya Asthra, thereby presiding deity of the ocean was brought under control

 

Lord Rama seated on the Kushagrass and spent three days mediated upon the presiding deity King of the ocean. Alas! none of the prayers of Rama was answered, Rama spoke angrily “Oh! Lakshman, no love develops without the fear, therefore bring my bow and arrows immediately. I shall dry the ocean with the Agneya Asthra, so that the presiding deity of the ocean can be brought under control. Oh! Brother, it is futile to give lectures on the glories of Lord Sri Hari to 1) A dull-minded person, 2) person who is in illicit relationship 3) the person who was born miser 4) person who is drenched in worldly matters and material matters of richness, wealth, fame, possessions, interest in wife, children, relatives, and companions, etc. 5) It is meaningless to talk about dispassion to a person who is drenched in the impurities of lust, desire, ego, anger, pride, jealousy, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. 6) it is worthless to give a speech on the glories of Lord Sri Hari to a person who has no control over senses, finally, it is as futile as sowing seeds on the barren land.” Saying so, Rama stretched the bow to invoke the Agneya Asthra that was pleased the heart of Lakshman. Rama fastened the arrow, and invoked the Agneya Asthra, soon a massive fire broke out in the middle of the ocean which made the entire aquatic creatures flash in deep distress, the presiding deity of the ocean noticed the mayhem caused by the aquatic animals amid the massive flame, he immediately gave up his pride and appeared as a divine Bhramin before Lord Rama, he greeted the Lord with a golden plate full of various precious gems.
