Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – The death does not punish the Jeeva with the vicious weapons, it steals intellect, wisdom, virtues, strength, and the reasoning ability of the Jeeva

 

Chapter - 37– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The death does not punish the Jeeva with the vicious weapons, it steals intellect, wisdom, virtues, strength, and the reasoning ability of the Jeeva

 

Devi Mandodhari spoke “Oh! My beloved Lord, kindly understand the might of Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the Lord of the Universe, he killed Viradha, Kabandha, Khara, and Dhushana, and took the life of Vali with the shot of a single arrow. Oh! Prabho, he is the most compassionate Lord who has sent the powerful emissaries to protect you from grief and troubles. You have been humiliated and crushed your pride in the grand assembly by his emissaries like the lion attacks the herd of elephants. He is the Lord of the solar race, who constructed a mighty bridge across the vast ocean as a mere sport, he encamped with several Vanaras and bears as his armies on Mount Suvela. Oh! Prabho, he has formidable warriors like Angadha, and Hanuman, who is unconquerable on the battlefields, still you believe him as a mortal, kindly leave your pride and arrogance. Oh! Prabho, you have turned hostile to Lord of Raghu, like death has taken over you, the light of wisdom has disappeared from your mind. Oh! Prabho, death does not punish the Jeeva with vicious weapons, it steals intellect, wisdom, virtues, strength, and reasoning ability and it punishes only the Jeeva who has fallen as the victim of illusion/attachment to worldly matters and bondage.”
