Chapter – 30 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda – The origin of Sri Ramacharitha
Oh! Tulsidas, there is no deity as
compassionate and kind as Lord Sri Ramachandra who overlooks the mistakes of
his devotees. While living in the forest
Rama taken a seat underneath the tree, the Vanaras and bears occupied their seats
on the branches of the tree engaged in monkey acts, there is no deity generous
as Lord Rama, he is most promising to all. I shall repeatedly prostrate before
the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who have taken no notice of my sins, I shall
begin to describe the splendor of that supreme Lord who is the chief of Raghu's,
the mere listening to the endless glories of supreme Lord Raghuvara would
remove the impurities of the Kali era.
I shall describe the glorious Ramacharitha
which was narrated by the illustrious Rishi
Yajjavalkya to Sage Bharadhvaja, which would provide immense bliss to
the listener and readers as well. It was previously described by the
compassionate Lord Shambhu to his beloved consort Goddess Bhavani, later it was
retold to Sage Kakabhusundi/Sage disguised as a crow, an ardent devotee of Lord
Rama and well deserved to listen to the glorious myths of Ramachandra.
Further, Sage Kakabhusundi narrated to Sage Yajjavalkya and passed on to Sage
Bharadhvaja, both are staunch devotees of Lord Rama takes immense pleasure in
briefing the pastimes of Lord Rama. These two illustrious Sages are Sarvajja,
learned, knower of past, present, future, rejoicing the various amusements of
Lord Hari, were considered good listeners and reciters as well.
