Chapter -58 -Sri Vinaya Patrika  - The description of virtues and kind-heartedness of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Seethapathi, your virtues, and disciplines lure the heart of the people, who don’t take pleasure listening to your glorious myths? Who don’t get goosebumps listening to them? Whose eyes do not get welled up with tears? Oh! Sri Ramachandra, your parents, brothers, preceptors, attendants, ministers, and close associates have not seen the slightest gesture of anger on your face, not even in their dreams. Oh! Prabho, meanwhile playing childhood sports with your brothers and children of the village, you cannot bear the disappointment on the face of your friends, you never react to their ill behaviors or crookedness, you never defeat them not even in the games or make them upset, always accept overthrow. Oh! Bhagavan, Gautama Pathni Devi Ahalya got rid of the curse at the single touch of your feet, thus she got relieved from Santhapa and Shapa and achieved Sadhgathi, this incident did not please you at all, instead, you felt repentant for touching the Rishi Pathni with your feet. Oh! Bhagavan, you are too humble, have broken the illustrious Shivadhanuss in the grand assembly of Janaka, and crushed the pride of the Kings assembled. Lord Parashurama felt annoyed about the same and argued with you, but you did not get angry to Parashurama, asked Lakshman to bow before Parshurama for his misdemeanor to an illustrious Sage and you have prostrated before the feet of Parashurama. Oh! Bhagavan, King Dhasharatha announced your coronation ceremony that was opposed by Devi Kaikeyi further asked you to leave to the forest, eventually, Dhasharatha left the mortal coil by the grief of separation from you, even after all these you have not expressed any displeasure to mother Kaikeyi, and sincerely followed her instructions. Oh! Bhagavan, you have highly pleased with Vayuputhra Hanuman who performed the task of your emissary and returned from Lanka with the whereabouts of Devi Janaki, you were highly pleased and embraced him affectionately saying that you have become Rini/debtor to his service. Sugrivah and Vibheeshana had their own wishes to fulfill from your comradeship, you have killed Bali who is an opponent of Sugrivah, and crowned him as the King of Kishkindha. Vibheeshana took shelter at your feet when he was thrown out of Lanka by his own elder brother Ravana, though these two had their own reasons to be in your shelter, you have loved them dearly and protected them. Oh! Bhagavan, you have never got tired of praising the virtues of Bharatha in a large assembly of members, your heart never gets satisfied in eulogizing him. Oh! Bhagavan, you have showered an abundance of mercy on the people, whenever they praise your virtues, you do not feel like noticing it or never took pleasure or pride in it, instead gets too shy. Oh! Bhagavan, whoever taken shelter at your lotus feet, or stand before you with folded hands, indefinitely they would achieve your perpetual grace, you always speak highly about them and praise them abundantly. Oh! Bhagavan, you are kind-hearted, and a storehouse of virtues, that is pulling me towards you like a magnet. Oh! Tulasidas, you would achieve the perpetual grace of that supreme Lord with your love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra.”
