Dhukham
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Hari, will
I get the opportunity to witness those lotus feet which are the source of all
the auspiciousness and happiness, which could remove the grief and sufferings
of Samsara and destroys the Papasamooha of the Kali era? Oh! Prabho, your
beautiful lotus feet have the intense luster of the fully blossomed red lotus
flower in the Sharathrithu, which is constantly caressed by the lovely hands of
Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. Oh! Prabho, your lotus feet are the source of river Ganga
on Earth, hence those feet are Gangajanak of Devi Ganga, she is beloved of
Kamari Lord Mahadeva too. Oh! Prabho, during the incarnation of Vamana/dwarf,
your lotus feet measured the entire Universe in three strides and crushed the
pride of emperor Bali. Oh! Prabho, the
dust particles from your lotus feet removed the curse on Gautamapathni Devi
Ahalya. Oh! Prabho, you have removed the
curse on Nriga who was taken shelter as a lizard in the dark well, you have
removed all the grief and sins of Nishadharaja Guha. Oh! Prabho, your lotus
feet are the shelter place of Siddha, Munigana, deities who constantly
eulogize the glories of them, it is the source of happiness and auspiciousness
to the Universe and its living beings. Oh! Prabho, your lotus feet are the
safest asylum from the grief and sufferings of Samsara, it removes Shoka, Moha,
Papa, Thapa, Maya of the Jeeva, the meditation and contemplation of those lotus
feet would remove all the impurities such as interest in worldly matters and
bodily pleasure, Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya

Oh! Kripasagar Oh! Suchathur Raghunath, you are the destroyer of grief and
sufferings of the Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, and constantly
utter your sacred name ‘Ram’. Oh! Prabho, this Tulsidas dying to witness those
marvelous lotus feet with the Asharoopi thirst, kindly reveal those beautiful
