Chapter - 58– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Garuda gets disappointed watching Lord Rama bound by the Nagapasha on the battlefield

 

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, I have assumed the form of a swan, and took a seat among the audience, listening to the lectures of Sage Kakabhusundi for a very long time, after that, I have returned to Mount Kailash. Oh! Devi Girija, I have explained all those exploits of Lord Rama that was I have heard from Sage Kakabhusundi, I shall explain the origin of the ‘Sri Ramacharitha Manas’, the beautiful lake like exploits of Lord Rama to you. During the vicious battle between Lord Rama and Meghnatha, the compassionate Lord allowed himself to be bound by the Nagapasha as an amusement that was shot against him, at that very moment Maharishi Narada informed Garuda to hurry to the battlefield to relieve Lord Rama from the clutches of Nagapasha. Garuda, the dedicated attendant of Lord Sri Hari, and the devourer of serpents rushed to the battlefield and swallowed all those serpents fastened Rama, and returned to his abode. But Garuda was deeply dejected to watch the Lord fastened by the Nagapasha and was unable to get out of it, Garuda absorbed in various thoughts “If Lord Rama is the absolute Bhramam personified as the son of Kosala, why he could not get rid of Nagapasha? If the all-pervasive Bhramam, free from Maya/delusion, has neither birth nor death, changeless, dispassionate, pure, and unblemished, why I did not witness the divinity in Lord Rama?”
