Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, I have seen all those I haven’t seen or heard so far, inside the stomach of infant Rama, which was beyond perception and description. I have stayed hundreds of years in each Bhramanda, which is countless in numbers and has the shape of an egg. Oh! Garuda, each Bhramanda has its own creator, /Lord Bhrama, the preserver Lord Vishnu and the destroyer/Lord Shiva, Manu, Dhikpalakas, humans, celestial Gandharva, Bhootha Bethala, Kinnara, Nishachara, animals and birds, demons and deities, and all the animate and inanimates things in the Universe. There were multitudes of oceans, mountains, rivers, woodlands, and each Universe has different nature, I have seen myself in all the Bhramanda, and each Universe has its own Ayodhya, the river Sarayu, men and women. I have seen infant Rama’s brothers, mothers, and King Dhasharatha in the infinite Bhramanda, also witnessed the descendent of Raghu, and various childhood sport of his brothers Bharatha, Lakshman, and Shathrughna.”

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, I flew to Sathyaloka, Bhrama’s abode and looked back and realized that the two hands of Lord Rama were following me all the way to the seven Universe, penetrating through the Bhramanda, I flew high as I could and found the hand of the infant Rama following me everywhere, I was terrorized by the sight and closed my eyes when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the Ayodhyapuri, on the courtyard where the four infants were performing childhood pastimes. Oh! Garuda, Rama smiled at me watching me in extreme terror, even I was laughed watching the infant, soon I was trapped into the mouth of that Lord, Oh!

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The grief and sufferings of worldly existence cannot get eliminated without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Chapter - 79– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The grief and sufferings of worldly existence cannot get eliminated without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, the Jeeva who strive to achieve bliss with the knowledge in scriptures and Veda, Agamanigamashasthras, without pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, are demons. Oh! Garuda, the darkness of the night will not disappear without the sunlight, even if all the mountains are set to fire or in the light of full moon. Likewise, the sufferings and grief of worldly existence cannot get eliminated without adoring the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. The Avidhya/ignorance has no place in the mind and heart of the devotees of Lord Sri Ramachandra, the Vidhya/knowledge of Bhramam/Oneness in all, uphold the virtues of the devotees of Rama, hence the devotee of Rama never falls in the cycles of birth and death. Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, when I was overwhelmed to watch the purpose of the incarnation of Lord Sri Hari as the son of King of Kosala, he smiled at me and crawled towards me, in order to get hold of me, none of his mothers or brothers have noticed the infant Rama rushing towards me. The beautiful infant rushed towards me, crawling on his knees, at that moment, I took a flight from the ground, Oh! Garuda, the next moment I have seen the hands of Rama stretched towards to get hold of me, as I was darting to the sky the hand of infant of Rama was following me ceaselessly. I have felt his hand following me towards the sky.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi besieged by the Maya of Mayapathi

 

Chapter - 78– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi besieged by the Maya of Mayapathi

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, whenever I get close to the infant Rama, he gets highly thrilled watching me, and when I flutter away that would put him into tears, and when I approach the Lord to get hold of his feet, he hurriedly crawls back to his mother’s looking back at me several times. I was overcome with bewilderment to watch that Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parmbhramam Lord Sri Hari who is bliss and wisdom personified as infant Rama performs all those childhood pastimes like any other ordinary child, that was the moment I was fallen victim to the Maya of Lord of Raghu, eventually, I had several doubts in my mind. The unconquerable Maya of that Lord did not put me into grief like any ordinary Jeeva drenched in worldly matters and attachment to possession, fame, wealth, richness, money, wife, children, relatives and companion, etc. Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, all the creatures of animate and inanimate are influenced by the Maya of Mayapathi, if all had the nature of attributeless Paramathma, there won’t be any difference between the Paramathma and Jeevathma. The formidable Maya of Mayapathi represents the Thrigunas/Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik, controlled by Mayapathi, and the Jeeva is dependent on these Thrigunas, and the Paramathma is free from the Thrigunas/attributeless. The Jeeva is infinite, and the Paramathma is Yeka/one and only the beloved Lord of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. The infinite Jeeva created out of the Maya of Mayapathi, is an illusion/unreal,  and the delusion can be get rid of with the grace of that Supreme Lord Rama.”

Chapter - 77– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the childhood pastimes of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi passionately speaks “Oh! Garuda, the infant Rama has a deep navel and has beautiful three lines on the belly, his broad chest is adorned in various precious ornaments, his teeny-tiny fingers, nails, long arms are adorned in various ornaments, he has attractive shoulders that resemble the lion cub, he has conch shaped neck, the beauty of his lovely chin, cheeks, nose, lips are beyond description, his speeches are undistinguishable, he has lovely pairs of teeth lustrous as the moon, partially revealing through the red lips. His beautiful long eyes resemble blue lotus flower petals, capable to remove the sufferings of worldly existence, his lustrous forehead bears the symbol of vermilion and sandalwood paste, he has beautiful bow-shaped eyebrows, he is adorned in marvelous ear ornaments, his dark and curly hair lock beautifully scattered around his face, his elegant movements crawling on the gem decorated patio, his shrill and gleeful smile, unclear speeches, and beautiful glances captivated me.  Oh! Garuda, The Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam personified as Rama dances to the movement of his shadow, gleefully watching his own shadow spends merrier time with me, those are beyond words. He rushes towards me with extreme joy to get hold of me, and I flutter away from him with fear, soon he will show a piece of sweet pudding to get me closer to him.”

Chapter - 75– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabusundi assumes the form of crow whenever Lord Sri Hari personifies as the son of King of Kosala and continues to witness the childhood pastimes of infant Lord Rama

 

The Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra is too kind and compassionate to his devotees like a mother to her child, although the blisters cause extreme pain to the child, the mother carefully removes the puss out of the wound and clean it to avoid further damage to the body of the child, likewise, the merciful Lord removes arrogance, pride, ignorance in his ardent devotees, Oh! Tulsidas, why do not you worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra? Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! King of birds, I shall describe Rama’s gentleness and my imperviousness to you, kindly listen to me carefully. Whenever Rama manifests as the son of Kosala, in the majestic city of Ayodhya, and performs various amusements to please his devotees, saints, and Rishis, I shall assume the form of a crow in the city of Ayodhya to witness his marvelous sport. I shall be a prime witness to watch all the amusements of that merciful Lord from birth, the grand celebration at the time of birth of the son of Kosala, Sri Rama and I shall continue to stay there till the infant attains the age of five.  Oh! Garuda, the infant Rama is my beloved deity, who has the appearance of countless Manmatha, I take the opportunity to witness the marvelous form of infant Rama that appeases my eyes, Oh! Enemy of serpents, Garuda, I shall assume the form of a crow and enjoy being in the company of that beautiful infant Lord Rama /Lord Sri Hari, watching all the amusement of the infant, thereby I shall achieve the fruitfulness of my life.”
