The seven cantos of the Sri Ramacharitha
Manas is marvelous seven flight of steps should be looked upon with wisdom and
delight, that describes the boundless virtues, compassion, and mercy of Lord
Ramachandra is the bottomless water in the Manasarovar, in this beautiful lake
of Sri Ramacharitha, the supreme Lord Rama and Sita perform various
amusements. The nine types of emotions such as Veera/valor, Raudra/anger, Kama/
lust, Hasya/humor, Karuna/kindness, Bhaya/fear, Beebhatsa/dreadfulness,
Shantha/serene, and Adhbutha/surprise are the colorful fishes in the Manasarovar.
The Chaupais represents thickly grown lotus plants, describes the shells holds
the precious pearl like the virtues of Rama. The Chandass, meter, Dhohas are
the pack of different colors of lotus flowers. The matchless ideas and the way
of expression resemble the pollen of flowers, fragrances, and honey bees
respectively. The virtuous and noble-souls represent the swarm of bees that
takes immense pleasure in the pollen of flowers, the spiritual knowledge,
Parmarththa Thaththva, dispassion, etc. represents the Swan. The fortunate Jeeva enriched with Bhakti, Gnana
and Vairagya, Vignana, with the practice of Shamadhamadhi, austerities, vows,
celibacy, meditation, contemplation, etc. resemble aquatic animals in the
Manasarovar, like the Sri Ramacharitha. The virtuous are the water birds that
take immense pleasure in the Manasarovar. The assemblage of the saints,
Mahathma, are the overly grown mango trees loaded with fruits and flowers on the
bank of the Manasarovar. Veda highly emphasizes the fruitfulness of human life as
the achievement of knowledge of self’ with the practice of devotion,
austerities, vows, penance, which are the creepers, and the Shama, Sathyam,
Dhaya, Dhanam, Shaucham, Astheyam, Bhramacharya, Swadhyaya, Arjjavam, Ahimsa,

Paramathma, these are the Paramarththa Thaththva provides nearness to supreme Lord
