Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi desires for perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama

 

Chapter -84 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi desires for perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord watching me in distress, spoke words like nectar “Oh! Kakabhusundi, I have highly pleased with your devotion, you can ask for a boon, you can ask for anything you wished to achieve, ask for Ashtasidhdhi, or wealth, or Gyana, or Bibeka, or Birakthi,  or Vigyana, or virtues or Moksha which is difficult to achieve even after several thousand years of Tapasya, I am highly pleased with you, hence ask for anything you wish that pleases your mind.” Upon hearing the kind words of Lord Rama, I have immersed in various thoughts “The supreme Lord Sri Rama is absolute Bhramam, otherwise, he won’t offer me boons, but he did not offer the perpetual devotion at his lotus feet as a boon, without devotion at the lotus feet of the Lord, the rest of the boon such as wealth, fame, richness, money, wisdom, virtues, etc. would be worthless, it would be an extravagant meal without salt in it.” Oh! Garuda, I have replied to the Lord “Oh! Prabho, there won’t be no happiness without devotion and adoration at your lotus feet, Oh! Antharyami, you are the knower of all, you are kind and affectionate to your devotees, kindly bless me with the boon close to my heart.”
