Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – The mirror image of Devi Sita disappeared in the fire, and the real Devi Sita emerged out of it – The deities eulogizing the splendor of Rama

 



Chapter - 110– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The mirror image of Devi Sita disappeared in the fire, and the real Devi Sita emerged out of it– The deities eulogizing the splendor of Rama

 

Devi Maithili fixed her thoughts upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra and entered into the huge sacrificial fire, that has provided the coolness of sandalwood paste to her, the people assembled were exclaimed in delight “Glory to Lord of Kosala, whose lotus feet are worshiped by Lord Shambhu with great fervor.” The shadow of Devi Sita who was lodged in the Ashokavatika was burned in the fire, and the real image of Devi Sita was emerged out of the fire, but none was understood the real truth behind it, even the deities and Siddhas stood gazing at the fire. The fire consumed the shadow image of Devi Sita, and brought the real image of Devi Sita which was eulogized by Vedas, presented to Lord Rama as if Devi Indira who was emerged out the milky ocean while churning the ocean for the nectar of immortality was presented to Lord Vishnu. Devi Sita who has exquisite beauty, and great effulgence, shone right next to Lord Sri Ramachandra who has the complexion of freshly formed dark clouds that resembled the pair of fresh blue lotus and bud of golden lily.

 

The deities showered flowers on the divine pair, the sounds of divine instruments reverberated on the sky, the Kinnaras and celestial Apsaras sang and danced beautifully, and everyone seated on the beautiful celestial vehicle returned to their respective abode. The beauty of Devi Janaki and the union of the two was beyond description, the Vanaras and bears exclaimed in extreme joy “Victory to Lord Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra ! Victory to Lord Rama who is the ocean of bliss!”. Mathali, the charioteer of Lord Indhra bowed before Lord Sri Ramachandra and returned to heaven, the deities who are known for self-centeredness arrived in huge numbers and praised the Lord abundantly like the Bhramavadhins, “Oh! Prabho, Sri Ramachandra, you are the companion of distressed souls, Oh! Lord of Raghu, you are kind and compassionate, you have protected us from the dreadful demons who took a toll on our lives on earth, committed various sins, finally met their miserable death. Oh! Prabho, you are indestructible Purusha, changeless, sinless, free from afflictions, you are impartial, you are unfailing, most promising to the Jeeva who have taken shelter in you. Oh! Prabho, you are an ocean of mercy, you have assumed the form of a giant fish, tortoise, wild boar, half lion and man, Vamana/dwarf, Parashurama/son of Jamadhagni, Sri Rama/son of Lord of Kosala, Balarama/son of Vasudeva and Rohini, Srikrishna/son of Devaki and Vasudeva. Oh! Prabho, you have incarnated several times and protected the Earth and its living and non-living things, and reinstated the glory of Earth. You have protected the deities whenever the troubles mounted on them. The dreadful demons, famous for their wickedness, drenched in material and sensual pleasures, finally achieved the commendable status, freed from worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, we deities are famous for self-centeredness, we have been worshiped for our welfare, Oh! Prabho, we have taken shelter at your lotus feet, kindly liberate us.”
