Chapter - 54– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Devi Girija requests Lord Shambhu to explain the origin of ‘Sri Ramacharitha Manas’

 

Devi Girija spoke “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Mahadeva!  Sage Kakabhusundi was a fervent devotee of Lord Sri Ramachandra, he was dispassionate, steadfast, wise, and intelligent, why did he assume the form of a crow to worship Lord Sri Rama? Kindly clear my doubts. Oh! Purari,/slayer of demon Thripura, the Veda declares that 1) one in thousand of Jeeva would achieve the true devotion, steadfastness, observe austerities and penance,  2) one in ten millions of righteous Jeeva would follow the austerities, and achieve Birakthi/dispassion, and take extreme delight in being Viraktha 3) one in ten millions of Jeeva who are dispassionate would achieve the supreme knowledge/knowledge of Athma/Athma is Paramathma. 4) Hardly one in ten million enlightened Jeeva would achieve the state of Jeevan Muktha. 5) and one in thousands of renounced souls would achieve the oneness to the Bhrama are the fountain of bliss/ free from dualities of pain and pleasure, good and evil, respect and disrespect, etc. these are enlightened souls grown beyond differences, religious rites, Karma, are completely absorbs in absolute Bhramam. Oh! Suraraya,/Lord of Lords, whoever takes pleasure in the Sri Ramacharitha Manasa would get rid of Maya/illusion, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Oh! Prabho, kindly explain how did the Sage Kakabhusundi who has the form of a crow has achieved the supreme state of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari?”
