Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Sri Ramachandra, you are too promising to your devotees, you have pleasant nature, you are the storehouse of virtues and kindness, you are always willing to protect your devotees.  Oh! Prabho, Gauthama Pathni Devi Ahalya has not performed any austerities or vows, she was cursed to become rock due to her sins, she got relieved from the curse at the touch of dust particles from your feet, and she praised your glories. Oh! Prabho, Nishadharaja Guha who was born in the lowly clan, immersed in hunting, was soaked in Thamasik nature, spend whole life aimlessly wandering like an animal in the forest, as soon as he achieved your nearness, served you selflessly, got purified himself, and became your dearest companion, you have embraced him affectionately and considered as equal to Bharatha.  Oh! Prabho, Jayanth, the son of Lord Indhra disguised in the form of a crow, committed a grave sin, perforating the feet of Devi Janaki, was shot by your arrow. He aimlessly wandered three worlds, approached Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Mahesha to get protected from the powerful Astra, invoked from the grass. Finally, Jayantha took shelter at your feet was forgiven, and the crow lost one of its eyes as a punishment for the sin and freed from fears. Oh! Prabho, Jayatu who was born in the Pakshi yoni, consumed meat all his life, did he perform any Tapasya, Japa, or austerities? You have performed the final rite/Anthyeshti Kriya for Jatayu who left mortal coil on your lap, considered him equivalent to your father, thus Jatayu achieved liberation from the Samsara. You have liberated all those Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, they were neither scholastic nor Yogis who follow strict austerities.  Oh! Raghunath, Oh! Kripalu, you have been too kind to the Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho,  Vanara Sugreevah who was hiding in the dense wood due to the fear of his elder brother Bali, was taken shelter at your lotus feet, you have removed his fears and grief, killed Bali, and crowned him as King of Kishkindha, thus he united with his wife once again. Oh! Prabho, the younger brother of Ravana, born in the Rakshasa clan and brother of your enemy was taken shelter at your lotus feet, did he perform any austerities? He was provided shelter and embraced affectionately by you. Later, he was crowned as the King of Lanka. Oh! Prabho, Vanaras, and bears are considered as inauspicious, even uttering their names would bring ill fortune, were taken shelter at your lotus feet, and got purified themselves. Oh! Prabho, you have purified all those Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, Veda highly eulogizes your glories. In this way, you have liberated the Jeevas from the sufferings of worldly existence and protected them. Oh! Prabho, I am Tulsidas continuously troubled by Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, drenched in the Papakarma in the Kali era, why don’t you look at me? Why don’t you shower your compassionate grace upon me?”
