Chapter - 111– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Lord Bhrama eulogizing the splendor of Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita

 

The deities and Rishis stood with folded hands before Lord Sri Ramachandra, and praised his glories, at that moment, Lord Bhrama who was overcome with various emotions, started eulogizing Lord Rama:

“ Victory to Rama who is the abode of bliss, Oh! Hare, Oh! Raghunayaka, you are the protector of Jeeva, Oh! Rama who is wielded in powerful bow and arrow, you are the powerful lion that tore apart the herds of untamed elephants like mundane existence, you are the ocean of virtues, Oh! Natha, Oh! Vibho, you excel the beauty of several Kamadeva, you are incomparable, your glories are constantly sung in praise by the Rishis, Sages, deities, etc. Oh! Prabho, you are the purifier of the souls, your endless glories sanctify the souls, your wrath seized the dreadful demon Ravana, like the king of bird’s eagle get hold of the serpent on its legs. Oh! Sukhadhayaka, you are the dispeller of grief and agonies of worldly existence, you are the wisdom personified, you are free from passion, impurities of the mind. Oh! Lord of Raghu, your descendants were most promising of untold virtues, Oh! Prabho, you have reduced the burden of Mother Earth, you are Aja/have no birth or death, you are omnipresent, Oneness-in-all, you have neither beginning nor end, Oh! Prabho, Sri Ramachandra, I shall prostrate before you, Oh! Merciful Lord/Karunakara, Raghukulayaka, Oh! Kharari, you are the slayer of wicked demons on the Earth, you have crowned Vibheeshana as the King of Lanka, who sought shelter at your lotus feet, you are the storehouse wisdom and virtues, you are all-pervasive Bhramam, free from Maya, Oh! Mayapathi, I shall worship you, the might of your arm is incomparable, you are too kind and compassionate to the distressed Jeeva, you are the beauty personified, Oh! Prabho, I shall worship you along with Jagathjanni Jadamba Paramba Bhagavathi Devi Sita. Oh! Prabho, you are beyond Prakrithi, you are the cause and effect, you are the destroyer of the impurities of the mind of your worshiper. Oh! Prabho, you have marvelous appearance, wielded in bow and arrow, resembles freshly bloomed blue lotus flower, you have beautiful eyes resembles red lotus flower petals, Oh! Prabho, you are the ocean of bliss, you are the subduer of arrogance and ignorance, you are Lakshmipathi, you are beyond perception of mind, intellect, and words. Oh! Prabho, you have innumerable incarnations, but you have never attached to any of it, the Vedas highly eulogizes your glories, you are the brightness in the sun, and coolness in the moon, you are inseparable from the Prakrithi. These Vanaras and bears are fortunate to be with you, Oh! Hari, we forgot to worship you and lost the fortune to be with you. Oh! Prabho, kindly shower your compassionate grace on us, kindly remove the sufferings and grief from us, that deluded us and forced to commit various sins, kindly shower your grace on us, so that we grow beyond dualities from mistaking the worldly matters, and material things are permanent and joyful. Oh! Prabho, you are the destroyer of wicked, you are the precious jewel of the Raghu clan, your lotus feet are worshiped by Lord Shambhu and Bhavani, Oh! Raghunayaka, kindly blesses us with the perpetual devotion/Ananya Bhakti at your lotus feet which is the source of immense bliss.”

Chapter - 110– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The mirror image of Devi Sita disappeared in the fire, and the real Devi Sita emerged out of it– The deities eulogizing the splendor of Rama

 

Devi Maithili fixed her thoughts upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra and entered into the huge sacrificial fire, that has provided the coolness of sandalwood paste to her, the people assembled were exclaimed in delight “Glory to Lord of Kosala, whose lotus feet are worshiped by Lord Shambhu with great fervor.” The shadow of Devi Sita who was lodged in the Ashokavatika was burned in the fire, and the real image of Devi Sita was emerged out of the fire, but none was understood the real truth behind it, even the deities and Siddhas stood gazing at the fire. The fire consumed the shadow image of Devi Sita, and brought the real image of Devi Sita which was eulogized by Vedas, presented to Lord Rama as if Devi Indira who was emerged out the milky ocean while churning the ocean for the nectar of immortality was presented to Lord Vishnu. Devi Sita who has exquisite beauty, and great effulgence, shone right next to Lord Sri Ramachandra who has the complexion of freshly formed dark clouds that resembled the pair of fresh blue lotus and bud of golden lily.

 

The deities showered flowers on the divine pair, the sounds of divine instruments reverberated on the sky, the Kinnaras and celestial Apsaras sang and danced beautifully, and everyone seated on the beautiful celestial vehicle returned to their respective abode. The beauty of Devi Janaki and the union of the two was beyond description, the Vanaras and bears exclaimed in extreme joy “Victory to Lord Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra ! Victory to Lord Rama who is the ocean of bliss!”. Mathali, the charioteer of Lord Indhra bowed before Lord Sri Ramachandra and returned to heaven, the deities who are known for self-centeredness arrived in huge numbers and praised the Lord abundantly like the Bhramavadhins, “Oh! Prabho, Sri Ramachandra, you are the companion of distressed souls, Oh! Lord of Raghu, you are kind and compassionate, you have protected us from the dreadful demons who took a toll on our lives on earth, committed various sins, finally met their miserable death. Oh! Prabho, you are indestructible Purusha, changeless, sinless, free from afflictions, you are impartial, you are unfailing, most promising to the Jeeva who have taken shelter in you. Oh! Prabho, you are an ocean of mercy, you have assumed the form of a giant fish, tortoise, wild boar, half lion and man, Vamana/dwarf, Parashurama/son of Jamadhagni, Sri Rama/son of Lord of Kosala, Balarama/son of Vasudeva and Rohini, Srikrishna/son of Devaki and Vasudeva. Oh! Prabho, you have incarnated several times and protected the Earth and its living and non-living things, and reinstated the glory of Earth. You have protected the deities whenever the troubles mounted on them. The dreadful demons, famous for their wickedness, drenched in material and sensual pleasures, finally achieved the commendable status, freed from worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, we deities are famous for self-centeredness, we have been worshiped for our welfare, Oh! Prabho, we have taken shelter at your lotus feet, kindly liberate us.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – Devi Sita entering into the sacrificial fire constructed by Lakshman

 

Chapter - 109– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Devi Sita entering into the sacrificial fire constructed by Lakshman

 

The shadow image of Devi Sita who was followed by the demons had to face harsh words, it brought gloominess among the demons, Devi Sita who is chaste, and devoted to Lord Sri Ramachandra by word, mind, and deed spoke “Oh! Lakshman, you are going to perform the fire sacrifice, quickly arrange for the sacrificial fire.” Lakshman became inconsolable, full of anguish, and pain of separation from the mother, tears overflowing down the cheeks, bowed head before Devi Sita, stood in dilemma without the courage to speak against Lord Rama. Lakshman perceived the stern look on the face of Rama, went to collect the ingredients for the fire sacrifice, and brought plenty of woods. Devi Janaki after watching the blazing fire did not get anxious at all, she offered salutation to the fire and moved forward, and uttered “If I was chaste, and devoted to my beloved Lord Sri Ramachandra of the illustrious clan of Raghu by thought, words, and deeds, may the sacrificial fire famous for burning things into ashes, provide the coolness of sandalwood paste to me.”

Chapter - 108– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Devi Janaki gets highly pleased with the propitious news further Devi Janaki was brought before Rama with due respect

 

Devi Janaki was overjoyed at the end results of the vicious battle between Rama and Ravana, a sudden rush of thrill ran through her limbs, with her eyes full of tears Devi Sita prayed to Lord Rama “Oh! Lord, Oh! Prabho, what can I offer you in return for providing me the most propitious news? There is nothing equivalent to the happiness you have brought to the world.” Hanuman spoke passionately “Oh! Mother, there is nothing promising for the entire Universe and the animate and inanimate things, that Rama and his younger brother is safe after the vicious battle with the enemies.” Devi Janaki blessed Vayuputhra “Oh! Hanuman, May all the commendable virtues abide your heart! May the Lord of Kosala and Anantha/Lakshman shower an abundance of grace on you!” Oh! My dear Son, make an arrangement for me to perceive that marvelous appearance of Lord Sri Ramachandra.” Hanuman returned to Rama and informed him about the welfare of Devi Janaki. Lord Raghu called for Angadha and Vibheeshana and ordered them to accompany Hanuman to Ashokavatika and bring Devi Sita with all respects.

 

Vibheeshana, along with Hanuman and Angadha, arrived on the Ashokavatika where Devi Janaki was lodged, she was surrounded by a number of demons and female demons prepared to serve Jagathjanani Jagadamba Bhagavathi. Vibheeshana ordered them to accompany Devi Sita for a ritual wash, and Devi Janaki was adorned in magnificent ornaments all over the body, by the time a stunning palanquin was brought for Devi Janaki. Devi Vaidhehi took a sat on the marvelous palanquin, contemplating upon Lord Sri Ramachandra, her beloved Lord. The palanquin of Devi Sita was guarded by several men attired in marvelous clothes, and they wonderfully marched to the Lord with intense delight. The Vanaras and bears rushed to have a glimpse of the Mother of the Universe were dispersed by the guards, watching this the Lord of Raghu advised “ Oh! Vibheeshna, bring Devi Sita on foot. So that the Vanara and bears could achieve the grace of Jagadamba Jagathjanani, Paramba, Bhagavathi Devi Sita. Let them achieve the grace of their mother.” The bears and Vanaras rejoiced profusely, soon Lord Rama brought back Devi Sita who was already taken shelter in the fire, the deities showered flowers on her, thus Sri Ramachandra brought back the real image of Devi Sita into light, and reinstated the shadow image in the fire.

Lord Sri Ramachandra spoke nectar-like words addressing the Vanaras and bears and cheered them “It was your might that overturned the haughty demon and his enemies and installed Vibheeshana as the King of Lanka, your glories shall remain endless in all three spheres. Whoever sings in praise of you along with my legend would easily cross the unfathomable ocean like sufferings and grief of worldly existence, eventually, get rid of repeated births as well.” The Vanaras were grown fond of listening to the nectar-like words of Lord Sri Ramachandra, never get satiated, they repeatedly bow their head before the Lord and prostrated before him.

 

Prabhu Sri Ramachandra called Hanuman and instructed “Oh! Vayuputhra, go to Lanka, and inform Devi Janaki about all that happened for her welfare.” Hanuman darted to the city of Lanka, the demon and female demons heard the news of the mighty Vanara returned to Lanka, were crowded to meet him. The people of Lanka offered great hospitality to the Vanara and led him to the Ashokavatika where Devi Janaki was settled. Hanuman offered obeisance from a fair distance to Devi Janaki who immediately recognized it is none other than the messenger of Rama. Devi Sita spoke affectionately “Oh! Dear son, how is Lord of Raghu and his younger brother? How is the host of Vanaras?” Hanuman spoke fervently “Oh! Mother, all is well with the grace of Lord of Kosala. The ten-headed demon was killed on the battlefield, and Vibheeshana was crowned as the King of Lanka.” Devi Janaki was extremely delighted listening to the auspicious news from Hanuman.

Devi Mandodhari and the rest of the queens of Ravana offered final homage to their beloved husband, offered water and sesame seeds to the departed soul, and returned to the palace, all their way they were praising abundantly about the graciousness and virtues of the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra. Once again Vibheeshana returned to supreme Lord Rama and prostrated before him, the merciful Lord Sri Ramachandra spoke to Lakshman “Oh! Brother, you have Angadha, Jambavan, Hanuman, Nala, Neela, Sugrivah, and mighty warriors with you, proceed to the Kingdom of Lanka and perform the coronation ceremony of Vibheeshana as the Lord of Lanka. I have to strictly follow the promise to our father, I may not be able to visit Lanka, but my brother and the mighty Vanaras possesses as equal strength of mine.” Soon Lakshman accompanied by the mighty Vanaras arrived in Lanka and made wonderful preparation for the coronation ceremony of Vibheeshana as the King of Lanka, Vibheeshana was installed on the throne, applied auspicious marks on his forehead, and duly announced as the ruler of Lanka.

Chapter - 105– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Devi Mandodhari eulogizes the supremacy of Lord Sri Ramachandra – Vibheeshana performing the final rites of Ravana

 

The wives of Ravana wept bitterly “Oh! Prabho, you have fooled yourself by considering Lord Sri Hari who was personified as the son of Kosala, being an ordinary human, alas! he is the colossal fire that engulf the whole Universe at the time of deluge, he is woodfire to the demon race, you have refused to worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra, who is merciful, worshiped by Lord Bhrama and Lord Shambhu and deities. Your body has taken immense pleasure in worldly matters, grown arrogant and ignorant, taken great pleasure in committing various sins, finally, that compassionate Lord has absorbed you, and showered his grace on you, hence I worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who symbolizes all-pervasive Bhramam. Oh! Prabho there is no other deity as compassionate and kind as Lord Sri Ramachandra who provided you the highest of piety that is liberation from worldly existence, which is difficult to obtain even for the Rishis and Yogis who undertakes several austerities and penance.” The deities and Rishis rejoiced listening to the nectar-like words of Devi Mandodhari eulogizing the all-pervasive Lord Sri Ramachandra. The supreme Lord Bhrama, Shambhu, Sanaka, Sanandhana, Sanathkumara, and Sanathana, Maharishi Narada, and the enlightened Rishis and Sages overwhelmed with emotions perceiving the marvelous form of Lord Sri Ramachandra on the battlefield. Vibheeshana approached the women who were lamenting over the death of their beloved husband, and gravely looked at the headless body of Ravana. Lord Rama advised Lakshman to console Vibheeshana and the rest of the people, Vibheeshana returned to Lord was advised compassionately “Oh! Vibheeshana, give up your grief, and perform the final rites of Ravana.” Thus, Vibheeshana performed the last rite of Ravana, strictly followed by the time, zone.
