Chapter 209 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Sharanagathi/pure
love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra removes the grief
of Samsara
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh!
Raghubeer, when will you look at this Tulsi? Oh! Kripanidhan, whether I am good
or not, I am your servant, won’t you consider me as yours and put an end to my
endless evilness? Oh! Prabho, kindly remove my impurities of Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and excessive interest
in infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, kindly shower your compassionate grace so that
all my sins will get destroyed. Oh! Prabho, I have taken several births in
different Yoni of Pashu, Pakshi, Keet, Pathanga, Manushya, Devatha, Rakshasa,
in all those births my mind took great control over me, hence I have been
drenched in Mahamoha, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, I have been in the Janana and
Marana Chakra for several thousands of years, suffering endless grief and
agony. Oh! Prabho, won’t you take control of my mind and protect me from the
Vishayavisha which hurls the Jeeva into Samsarachakra? Or will I end up in the
cycles of birth and death in this birth too? Or will you protect me from the
shackle of Samsara? Or will you refuse to do so and let the Vishayavisha win
over this Tulsi? or let the Tulsi get fastened in the Samsara even after taking
shelter at your lotus feet? Oh! Prabho, you are Pathithapavana, I am that
Pathitha/distressed, hence kindly forgive my sins and protect me from the
sufferings of Samsara. Oh! Prabho, I am alarmed watching the evilness of the Kali
era, I am horrified by my Kala/time, Karama/deeds, Swabhava/attributes, Oh!
Prabho, you are the protector of Jeeva, you are the protector of the Universe,
hence I appeal to you, who will listen to my cries and pleas other than you?
Oh! Prabho, you are my Master, Guru, Matha, Pitha, and Sakha, I have no one to
protect other than you.”
