Chapter – 79– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala
Kanda – Devi Parvathi’s conversation with the Saptharishis
The Saptharishis continued “Oh! Devi, Lord
Mahadeva is a mendicant, Bhava is dispassionate, lives on alms, and sleeps
wherever he feels, lives in solitude, he has no home to live, how did a woman
live without a home? Or enjoy life in the open like Mahadeva? Hence, kindly
listen to our advice, you may get the finest groom enriched with virtues,
auspiciousness, prosperity, fame, wealth, charm, and glory. We have found an
excellent match for you; he is exceptionally good-looking and Veda has sung in
praise of him. The Supreme Lord Vishnu is unblemished, most charming,
promising resides in the milky ocean with his consort Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi,
and he has the finest abode as Vaikunda/free from grief, we feel he is the appropriate
groom for you.” Devi Bhavani laughed out and spoke “Oh! Mahathma, you have
rightly observed me as solid as a rock, same as the precious yellow metal
another product from the mine that does not leave its preciousness in the blaze,
I would prefer to give up my Prana, instead of choosing somebody in place of
Mahadeva as a wedded husband. Oh! Mahathma, I have taken a vow to sincerely follow the words
of my preceptor Maharishi Narada, I have immense faith in my preceptor, let my
home doom in despair, I won’t get alarmed. Whoever does not follow the words of
their preceptor could not achieve auspiciousness and welfare not even in their
dreams.”
