Chapter - 53– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Devi Girija expresses her devotion to Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Devi Bhavani spoke fervently “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Kripayathana, I have no delusion left in me after listening to the various legends of the absolute Bhramam personified as the son of Kosala, I have attained the ultimate object of my life, you have marvelously explained the glories of Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the embodiment of wisdom and bliss. Oh! Prabho, my soul drank the nectar-like glories of Lord Rama explained by your moon-like face, which was received through the two ears like cups, I feel extremely blissful and contented. The Sages and Rishis have achieved eternal bliss and liberation by constantly listening to the glories of Lord Sri Hari which worked as a wooden log to cross the ocean of mundane existence and repeated births. The legends of Lord Sri Hari are nectar to ear and pleasing to mind although the Jeeva drenched in worldly matters would enjoy listening to it, if not they are unfortunate and destroyer of the soul after achieving the rarest birth as a human. Oh! Prabho, I have listened to the ‘Ramacharitha Manasa”/the lake-like exploits of Sri Ramacharitha which was recited beautifully by sage Kakabhusundi to Garuda, and I have felt extremely blissful listening to you.”
