Chapter - 59– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Maharishi Narada advises Garuda to take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Bhrama

 

The King of bird, Garuda thought “The mere utterance of ‘Ra Ma’, the name of Lord Rama would make the Jeeva free from sufferings and grief of worldly existence, and repeated births but unfortunately Rama could not defeat the Nagapasha shot by the wicked demon on the battlefield.” Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, thus Garuda wrapped up in various thoughts and the light of wisdom did not help him to get rid of his illusion and misconception, he was fallen pry to full of anxiousness and fallacy, like the way you did before knowing the divinity of Lord Rama. Garuda approached Maharishi Narada and praised himself for devouring the Nagapasha that fastened Lord Rama on the battlefield. The compassionate Maharishi Narada after listening to Garuda began to speak pleasantly “Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, the Maya of Ramapathi is formidable, it won’t leave a single Jeeva, it steals the intellect of the wise and pushes them to utter delusion. The Maya of Mayapathi is like a cloud that takes away the wisdom, Oh! Khagapathi, Once, I was under the spell of Maya, I was got fooled myself with the influence of Maya. You are already under the spell of Maya, which is deep-rooted in your heart, hence my words cannot erase the misapprehension from your heart. Oh! Khagesa, kindly take shelter at the lotus feet of Chathuranana/Lord Bhrama, and seek his opinion to get rid of your illusion.”
