Chapter -39 -Sri Vinaya Patrika  - Praising the splendor of Lord Sri Ramachandra


Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “ I shall reverentially prostrate before supreme Lord Raghunath who is the ocean of mercy, kindly remove the sense of dualities in me and impart the supreme knowledge of Athma is Paramathma, sense of Oneness-in-All, and remove the dualities of sorrow and happiness, respect, and disrespect, grief and joy, etc. Oh! Sri Ram, you resemble the full moon which is the source of delight to the lotus flowers like the clan of Raghuvamsha, your lotus feet are worshiped by Lord Bhrama and Lord Shiva. Oh! Bhagavan, you reside in the lotus-like heart of the deities and devotees, your loveliness excels the beauty of crores of Manmatha. You resemble the Sun that destroys the  Moharoopi darkness in the Jeeva, you resemble Mahagni/colossal fire, that destroys the dense forest of ignorance in the Jeeva. You resemble Sage Agasthya dries up the entire ocean of Abhimana, you are the destroyer of wicked demons and reduce the burden of the Earth. You resemble the King of birds/eagle and consume the impurities of Ragadhvesha in the Jeeva. You resemble the lion that attacks the  Kamaroopi untamed elephant, you are the destroyer of wicked demon Mura. Oh! Bhagavan, your lotus feet are the safest asylum that would work as aircraft to cross the unfathomable ocean of worldly existence. Oh! Jankiramana, Oh! Sri Ram, you are the source of eternal bliss, you reside in the heart like pleasure garden of Sri Hanuman and takes immense pleasure in exploration of the same, you are extremely compassionate and Kamadhenu to the devotees who worship you without any desire for boons/Nishkamyabhakthi. Oh! Bhagavan, I am Tulsidas and I have already surrendered at your lotus feet, you are the Lord of three worlds/Shiromani, you represent the dense forest of virtues, Oh! Sri Ramachandra, you symbolize peace and serenity.”
