Chapter – 58– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala
Kanda – Devi Sati’s pleas to get rid of the body as Dhaksha Kanya to Lord of
Raghu
Lord Mahadeva immersed in deep meditation
for several thousands of years and Devi Sati spend all those years in utter
desolation in Mount Kailash, no one was known what was happening to her, she
was grieving over her mistake committed to pushing the compassionate Lord Shambhu
in utter grief, she felt days were like Yugas, sunk in deep sorrow. The wound
in her heart remained all-new, without knowing how could she get over from the
unfathomable ocean of grief. The repeated thoughts made her more susceptible “I
have misbehaved to my Lord, I did not trust him and suspected the Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam incarnated as Lord Rama to save the Earth, I have
reaped the fruits of my sins, hence I deserved to be isolated. Oh! Lord of
Raghu, is not that unfair for me to live after separated from that
compassionate Lord Shambhu. I do not deserve to live without my Lord Shambhu,
kindly save me from this miserable life.” The grief of Devi Sati was beyond
description, she contemplated upon Lord Sri Rama and prayed with folded hands
“Oh! Prabho, Lord of Raghu, the Veda, and the scriptures eulogize you as
Dheenadhayala, Bhakthavathsala,/Lord of distressed Jeeva, you are the remover
of grief and sufferings of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, kindly shower your
compassionate grace upon me, so that I can get rid of this body, with which I
have forced to commit a grave sin. If I have true devotion at the lotus feet of
Lord Shankara by word, mind, and deeds, kindly protect me from the unbearable
grief and get rid of this body.”

Basahi Kailasa Thab Adhika Sochu Man Mahi | Maramu Na Koau Jan Kacchu
Juga Sama Dhivasa Sirahi ||
Nitha Nava Sochu Sathi Ura Bhara | Kab
Jaihau Dhukha Sagar Para || Mei Jo Keenha Raghupathi Apamana | Puni
Pathibachanu Mrisha Kari Jana || So Phalu Mohi Bidhatha Dheenha| Jo Kacchu Uchitha Raha Soyi Keenha || Ab Bidhi Asa
Boojjiau Nahi Thohi | Sankara Bimukha Jiaavasi Mohi || Kahi Na Jayi Kacchu
Hridhaya Galani | Man Mahu Ramahi Sumira Sayani| Jau Prabhu Dheenadhayalu Kahava | Aarathi Haran
Bedha Jasu Gava || Thau Mei Binaya Karau Kar Jori | Chootau Begi Dheha Yaha Mori
