Chapter – 4– Sri Vinaya Patrika – Prayer to Lord Shambhu for intense devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sri Tulasidas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Deva, you are the destroyer of darkness of Moha/desires, and ignorance, Oh! Hara, you symbolize the sun that spread brilliance and remove the darkness Oh! Rudra, Oh! Sharenya, Oh! Lokabhirama, who adorned in Balachandra/crescent moon on the matted hair locks, your eyes resemble the lotus flower petals, you excel the loveliness of hundred crores of Manmatha, you are the storehouse of virtues and charm, kindly destroy my sorrows of worldly existence. Oh! Bhagavan, your loveliness resembles Shankha, Kundhapushpa, Chandhrama, and camphor. Oh! Bhagavan, the brilliance of your body has the resemblance of crores of Madhyahna Surya, you are adorned in sacred ashes all over the body. Oh! Bhagavan, you have allocated half of your body to Himachala Kanya Goddess Parvathi, you have beautiful brownish-red matted hair lock, your chest is adorned in serpent and Mundamala are garland, your matted hair lock is the dwelling place of sacred Ganga who descend from the lotus feet of Lord Hari, you have adorned in marvelous ear ornaments, the Halahal poison on the bluish-throat enhances the beauty of your neck area, Oh Karunakandha Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa, Oh! Avadhootha Vesha Bhagavan, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Bhagavan, you hold the weapon, trident, sword, bow, and arrows, you are that colossal fire that burns down the dense wood-like enemies. Your celestial vehicle is bull, you are attired in the skin of animals/leopard, elephant, you symbolize Vignan, you are worshiped by Siddha, Deva, Muni, and Manushya. Oh! Bhagavan, your well known Thandavanriththya/cosmic dance, reverberating noise of the Damaru though it gives out an inauspicious appearance, it is highly propitious. Oh!         Bhagavan, you burn down the whole Bhramanda during the Mahapralaya, the sacred land Kashi is your permanent dwelling place and the Kailash is your supreme abode. Oh! Bhagavan you have profound knowledge in all the philosophies, Oh! Sarvajja, you are the Lord of Yajja, Oh! Vibhu, you are all-pervasive Bhramam, Oh! Purari, the Universe, and it's living and non-living things initiated from you. You are changeless and eternal, the deities, Bhrama, Indra, Chandra, Surya,  Varuna, Agni, Ashtavasu, Maruthganas, and Yama worship you and have attained the prowess from you. Oh! Bhagavan, you are beyond time, independent, Nirguna, Nirlepa, Paramathma Parambhrama, you have neither birth nor death. Oh! Bhagavan, you symbolize the Universe, though you have Ugraroopa/fierce, you are always compassionate and benevolent. You are Lord of Lords, you are all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, you are the destroyer of the sins and provider of auspiciousness as well. Oh! Bhagavan, whoever worships you would achieve Gnana, Vairagya, Dhana, Dharma, Kaivalyasukha, Sundharatha, Saubhagya, effortlessly, after all these the ignorant Jeeva keep away from the worship of your lotus feet and chases after material welfare and pleasure fleet to different directions, undergoes constant miseries and sorrows. Oh! Shambho, Oh! Kamari, I am ignorant and wicked, completely drenched in worldly matters and bondage, exhausted and distressed, I am Tulasi Das taking shelter at your lotus feet, kindly shower perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra so that I can save myself from the Mayaroopi worldly existence.”
