Chapter -85 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi achieves perpetual devotion as a boon and also knowledge about the exploits of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Kakabhusundi appeals to Lord Rama “Oh! Prabho, kindly offer me Ananyabhakthi/Abiralabhakthi, perpetual devotion at your lotus feet as a boon. Oh! Bhagathakalpatharu, Oh! Yogeesa, the delighter of the souls, Oh! Kripasindhu, Oh! Sukhadhama, Oh! Rama, kindly blesses me with uninterrupted devotion at your lotus feet, which was highly eulogized by the Veda and Shastras, Rishis, and Sages. The Santh Mahathma and the noble souls relentlessly contemplate and meditate upon it, that too achievable with the grace of you.” The Supreme Lord Rama replied “Yevamasthu/ So be it’, The compassionate Lord Rama began to speak “Oh! Kakabhusundi, you are wise and highly fortunate to achieve perpetual devotion as a boon, pure devotion is the source of joy, you have opted for it. The Sages and Rishis undertake austerities, penances, Shamadhadhi for several years, and emaciated their bodies in Japa or Thapa, even after all these they fail to achieve Anananya Bhakti. I am extremely pleased to watch your pure love and devotion, which is dear to my heart. Oh! Kakabhusundi, you would achieve all those virtues, wisdom, devotion, spiritual knowledge, dispassion, Yoga, Japa, and the knowledge of exploits of my various incarnations and its purposes, with my grace, hence you need not undergo self-discipline and austerities anymore.”
