Chapter -85 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi achieves perpetual devotion as a boon and also knowledge about the exploits of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Kakabhusundi appeals to Lord Rama “Oh! Prabho, kindly offer me Ananyabhakthi/Abiralabhakthi, perpetual devotion at your lotus feet as a boon. Oh! Bhagathakalpatharu, Oh! Yogeesa, the delighter of the souls, Oh! Kripasindhu, Oh! Sukhadhama, Oh! Rama, kindly blesses me with uninterrupted devotion at your lotus feet, which was highly eulogized by the Veda and Shastras, Rishis, and Sages. The Santh Mahathma and the noble souls relentlessly contemplate and meditate upon it, that too achievable with the grace of you.” The Supreme Lord Rama replied “Yevamasthu/ So be it’, The compassionate Lord Rama began to speak “Oh! Kakabhusundi, you are wise and highly fortunate to achieve perpetual devotion as a boon, pure devotion is the source of joy, you have opted for it. The Sages and Rishis undertake austerities, penances, Shamadhadhi for several years, and emaciated their bodies in Japa or Thapa, even after all these they fail to achieve Anananya Bhakti. I am extremely pleased to watch your pure love and devotion, which is dear to my heart. Oh! Kakabhusundi, you would achieve all those virtues, wisdom, devotion, spiritual knowledge, dispassion, Yoga, Japa, and the knowledge of exploits of my various incarnations and its purposes, with my grace, hence you need not undergo self-discipline and austerities anymore.”

Chapter -84 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi desires for perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord watching me in distress, spoke words like nectar “Oh! Kakabhusundi, I have highly pleased with your devotion, you can ask for a boon, you can ask for anything you wished to achieve, ask for Ashtasidhdhi, or wealth, or Gyana, or Bibeka, or Birakthi,  or Vigyana, or virtues or Moksha which is difficult to achieve even after several thousand years of Tapasya, I am highly pleased with you, hence ask for anything you wish that pleases your mind.” Upon hearing the kind words of Lord Rama, I have immersed in various thoughts “The supreme Lord Sri Rama is absolute Bhramam, otherwise, he won’t offer me boons, but he did not offer the perpetual devotion at his lotus feet as a boon, without devotion at the lotus feet of the Lord, the rest of the boon such as wealth, fame, richness, money, wisdom, virtues, etc. would be worthless, it would be an extravagant meal without salt in it.” Oh! Garuda, I have replied to the Lord “Oh! Prabho, there won’t be no happiness without devotion and adoration at your lotus feet, Oh! Antharyami, you are the knower of all, you are kind and affectionate to your devotees, kindly bless me with the boon close to my heart.”

Chapter -83 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi got rid of Maya of Mayapathi

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord Rama watching me in distress inside his belly gave out a smile, instantly I flew out of his mouth, soon I have witnessed the infant child Rama immersed in various childhood pastimes with his brothers on the marvelous patio of King Dhasharatha. I have tried to reason myself in all possible ways but nothing could bring peace to me. Oh! Garuda, while I was inside the belly of that infant Lord Rama, I was horrified to watch infinite Bhramanda, animate and animate things, I lost my consciousness, cried pitifully “Oh! Prabho, kindly protect me.” The merciful Lord Rama who can’t bear his devotees in distress, brought me out of his belly, and looked at me gracefully and patted on my head affectionately, soon I have got rid of trepidations and sorrow, thus the supreme Lord Rama relieved me from Maya, my heart raced with pure love for Lord Rama, my bodily hairs stood upright, with the eyes full of tears, and folded hands, I eulogized the supreme Lord Rama in marvelous verses.”

Sage Kakabhusundi describes the infinite Bhramanda witnessed in the stomach of infant Rama “Oh! Garuda, each Bhramanda has distinctive nature and marvelous was beyond description. Oh! Garuda, during my visit to the infinite Bhramanda I haven’t seen my beloved infant Rama, it was my illusion I have witnessed the exceedingly beautiful and graceful infant Rama in all those Bhramanda. Oh! Garuda, I have been wandering several Yugas in the infinite Bhramanda, after that, I have returned to my hermitage and spent some time.  During my stay in the hermitage, I have heard the birth of Lord Sri Hari as the son of King of Kosala once again, I have rushed to the city of Ayodhya to witness the birth and the celebration took place with regard to the birth of the infant Rama and his three brothers, which I have already described to you. The infinite Bhramanda I have witnessed in the stomach of infant Rama was beyond description. Once again, I have become the victim of the Maya of Mayapathi, who is gracious and wise, I have witnessed the infinite Bhrmanda in less than an hour, I was completely astounded and lost in the maze.”

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! Garuda, inside the belly of infant Rama I have witnessed several Bhramanda, innumerable spheres, Lord Bhrama, Rudras, Shivas, deities, mountains, oceans, countless stars, moons, suns, Lokapalas, Yamas, Kalas, lakes, rivers, animate and inanimate things, Siddhas, Kinnaras, Nagas, humans in each Bhramanda.”

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.”
