Chapter - 75– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabusundi assumes the form of crow whenever Lord Sri Hari personifies as the son of King of Kosala and continues to witness the childhood pastimes of infant Lord Rama

 

The Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra is too kind and compassionate to his devotees like a mother to her child, although the blisters cause extreme pain to the child, the mother carefully removes the puss out of the wound and clean it to avoid further damage to the body of the child, likewise, the merciful Lord removes arrogance, pride, ignorance in his ardent devotees, Oh! Tulsidas, why do not you worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra? Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! King of birds, I shall describe Rama’s gentleness and my imperviousness to you, kindly listen to me carefully. Whenever Rama manifests as the son of Kosala, in the majestic city of Ayodhya, and performs various amusements to please his devotees, saints, and Rishis, I shall assume the form of a crow in the city of Ayodhya to witness his marvelous sport. I shall be a prime witness to watch all the amusements of that merciful Lord from birth, the grand celebration at the time of birth of the son of Kosala, Sri Rama and I shall continue to stay there till the infant attains the age of five.  Oh! Garuda, the infant Rama is my beloved deity, who has the appearance of countless Manmatha, I take the opportunity to witness the marvelous form of infant Rama that appeases my eyes, Oh! Enemy of serpents, Garuda, I shall assume the form of a crow and enjoy being in the company of that beautiful infant Lord Rama /Lord Sri Hari, watching all the amusement of the infant, thereby I shall achieve the fruitfulness of my life.”
