May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

O holy sir, forgive my faults

Jai sri Ram,
What comparison, my Lord, can there be between you and me,

Tell me if there is any affinity between the head and feet,

Mine is a small name consisting of the single word Rama,

Whereas your is a long one, having the word Parasu prefixed to Rama, whereas there is only one string to my bow, yours has nine most sacred threads, i am thus inferior to you in every-way; therefore, O holy sir, forgive my faults,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

a Brahman should have a plenty of mercy in his heart,

Jai sri Ram,
Seeing you equipped with an axe, arrows and bow, the boy took you for a champion and got excited,

Although he knew you by name, he did not recognize you in person and answered you accoding to his linage,

If you had come as a sage, the child, O holy Sir, would have placed the dust of your feet on his head,

Forgive the error of one who did not know you, a Brahman should have a plenty of mercy in his heart,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

cease from wrath

Jai sri Ram,
While the Sri Parshurama thus raved with his axe raised in high, sri Rama Smiled within himself, bowing his head to the sage,

While the fault's is laxmana, the sage wrath is against me,

Sometimes meekness too begets much evil, a crooked man is reverenced by all,

Rama said_ cease from wrath, O Lord of sages, the axe is in your hand, while head is before you, do that-my lord, which may pacify your anger; known me to be your servant,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

such pungent words

Jai sri Ram,
It is with your connivance that your brother addresses such pungent words to me,

While you make false entreaties with joined palms,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

slain kings without number

Jai sri Ganesha,
At the very news of the cruel doing of my axe the consorts of kings miscarry,

To think that having the same axe still at my service i should see this princeling, my enemy, alive,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ganesha,
Therefore, your reverence, deal to me as your servant whatever you please,

Whether it be a favour or frown, death or captivity,

Thanks Please 

who have offended you,

Jai Sri Ram,
Joining both his palms together and speaking in most humble, gentle and placed tones Sri Rama Said,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Rama cast an angry look

Jai Sri Ram,
In a condescending Manner he said to Rama,

I am sparing the boy because i know he is your younger brother,

So fair without and foul within, he resembles a jar of gold full of poison,

At this Laxmana laughed again but Rama cast an angry look on him, therefore, putting away all petulance of speech he submissively went up the Guru,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

whole body burnt with rage

Jai Sri Ram,
The people of the city trembled like aspen leaves,

Thanks Please 

Pray be quite,

Jai sri Ram,
Pray sit down, your legs must be aching,

If you are very fond of it, let us devise some mean to mend it by calling in some expert,

Janaka was frightened at Laxmana's words and Said Pray be quite,

It is not good to transgress the limits of propriety,

Thanks Please 

Passion is the root of sin

Thanks Please 

image of death

Jai sri Ram,
Seeing him smile , Parshurama flushed all over with sage and Said_

Rama, your brother is too wicked,

Though fair of hue, he is black at heart,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

forbearing and illuminated anchorite

Jai Sri Ram,
If children play some planks, their teacher and parents are in raptures at it,

foolish as to affront you

Jai Sri Ram,
O Holy Brahman, Everyone exclaimed, this is wholly undesirable,

 The Lord Rama now becked Lakshmana to stop,

If he has any idea of your might, how could he be so foolish as to affront you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

sarcastic remarks

Jai Sri Ram,
Now you get creditor here and i will at once repay him from my own purse,

Hearing these sarcastic remarks Parshurama grasped his axe and the whole assembly cried,

O chief of Brighu, you are still threatening me with your axe, i am sparing you only because i hold you to be a Brahman,

O enemy of princes, you have never met champions staunch in fight-you have grown important in your own little home,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

fully paid the debts to own to your parents

Jai sri Ram,
Said Laxmana, is there anyone of good sage who is not aware of your gentle deposition,

So well known throughout the world, you have fully paid the debts to own to your parents,

The only debt which now remains to be paid by you is one you own to your Guru,

And that was waxing your mind not a little, it looks as if you had incurred the debt on our account, and since a considerable time has now elapsed a heavy interest has accumulated thereon,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Everything looks green to the sage,

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Vishmamitra said with smiling within self,

Everything looks green to the sage, {a man who loses his eyesight in the month of Saawan when whole landscape is green}

It is a pity that he does not understand and still persists in his ignorance,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai sri Ram,
Sharp edged is my axe, while i am pitiless and furious,

And here stands before me an offender and enemy of my Guru,

Terrible Axe

Jai Sri Ram,
You have assumed the role of a hero and rare resolute and imperturbable,

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

deep voice

Jai Sri Ram,
Every word of yours is as incisive as millions of thunderbolts,

The bow and arrows and the axe are, therefore, an unnecessary burden to you,

Hearing this, THE JEWEL OF BRAGHU race furiously rejoined in a deep voice,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

valour is never shown against gods, Brahmanas, Devotees

Jai Sri Ram,
I suppress my anger and put up with whatever you say,

We should throw ourself at your feet even if you strike us,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

no pumpkin in the bud

Jai Sri Ram,
Here there is no pumpkin in the bud,

Now that understand you are a descendant of Bhrgu and perceive a sacred thread on your person,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

unborn offspring in the womb

Jai Sri Ram,
Do not bring woe to your parents, O princely lad,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

an irascible one

Jai Sri Ram,
I have been a celibate from my very boyhood but also an irascible one,

I am known throughout the world as a sworn enemy of the Ksatriya,

Look at his axe, which looped off the arms of Sahastrabahu, O youth Prince,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

i slay you not because, as i say, you are a child yet

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama mistook it for a new one and at his very touch it break in two.

Lord Rama, therefore, was not to blame for it either,

Casting a glance at his axe, Parshurama replied, O foolish child, have you heard of my temper, i slay you not because, as i say, you are a child yet, do not take me for a  mere anchorite, O dullard,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

What gain or loss

Jai Sri Ram,
O Young Prince, Being in the grip of death you have no control over your speech,

Would you compare to a small bow the mighty bow of Shiva, that is known through out the world,

,
What gain or loss can there be in the breaking of a worn out Bow,

May Lord bless all,

Parshurama burst out in fury,

Jai sri Ram,
Let him start apart,leaving this assembly

Or everyone of this assembly will be slain

Hearing the sage's words Laxmana smiled and said insulting Parshurama, i have broken many a small bow in my childhood but you never grew so angry,

May Lord, why should you be fond of this particular bow, At this Parshurama burst out in fury,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Listen of O Rama

Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,
When Sita heard of Parshurama's temperament,

May Lord bless all,

Jai Sri Ram,
Janaka Narrated to him the whole story, mentioning what had brought all the kings there,

On hearing the reply Parshurama turned round and looking in the other direction he espied the fragments of the bow lying on the ground,

Flying into a rage he spoke in harsh tone,

Tell me O Janaka, who has broken the bow, show him at once or this day i will overthrow the whole tract of the land over which your dominion extends

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Sri Rama's incomparable beauty

Jai Sri Ram,
His eyes were riveted on Sri Rama's incomparable beauty,

Which would humble the pride of cupid himself,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

he bestowed his blessings on her

Jai sri Ram,
Then came Janaka and bowed his head,

Sending for Sita he made her pay homage to the sage,

Her companions rejoiced when he bestowed his blessings on her, And cleverly took her where other ladies were,

Next came Vishvamitra, who met him and placed two brothers at his lotus feet, saying that they were king Dasratha's sons, Sri Rama and laxmana by name, seeing the well matched pair, he bless them,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Each fell prostrate

When Sri Sita heard the tumult, she got afraid  and her companions took her to the queen,

While Rama Advanced to his Guru, easy in mind and inwardly praising her affection,

Laxmana looked hither and thither; for fear of Rama, however, he could not speak

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

feast your eyes upon Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Giving up jealousy, arrogance and anger, therefore, feast your eyes upon Rama,

Knowing Laxmana's wrath to be ablazing fire, do not allow yourselves to be consumed by it like  a moth,

As a man who is angry without any cause should expect happiness, covetous man should long for good fame and a gallant should aspire to be free from scandal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,
When good kings heard these words they said,

Talented bards, minstrels and panegyrics sang praises,

Everybody gave away horses, elephants, riches, jewels and raiment as an act of invocation of God's blessings on the youthful champion,

There was a crash of cymbals and tabors, conch and clarionets,

Drums and sweet sounded kettledrums, both large and small played with many other charming instruments,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

broken the massive bow of Shambhu,

Jai Sri Ram,
Siddhas and great sages praised the lord and gave him blessings raining down wreaths and flowers of various colours,

Other class of demigods sang melodious strains and shout the victory re-echoed throughout the universe,

The crash that followed the breaking of the bow was drowned in it,

Everywhere men and women in their joy kept saying that Rama had broken the massive bow of Shambhu,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

thrill of joy,

Jai Sri Ram,
Beholding sri Rama's beauty, which represented the full Moon, the sage felt an increasing thrill of joy,

Which may be compared to rising tide in the ocean,

Kettle drums sounded with great noise in the heavens,

Celestial damsels sang and danced, Brahma and other gods praised lord and gave him blessings

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

water of love

Jai Sri Ram,
The bow of Shiva was the bark and the Rama's strength of arm was the ocean to be crossed with its aid,

The whole host that had boarded the ship out of ignorance was drowned with the bark,

The Lord tossed on the ground the two broken peices of the bow,

And everone rejoiced at the sight, Visvamitra stood as the holy ocean, full of sweet and unfathomable water of love,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

The awful crash

Jai Sri Ram,
The awful crash reached through the spheres,

The horses of the sun-god stayed from the course  The elephants of the quarters trumpeted,

The Earth shock, the serpent king, the divine boar and the divine tortoise fidgeted about, gods demons and sages put their hand to their ears and all  began anxiously to ponder the cause,

But when they learnt that Sri Rama had broken the bow they uttered shouts of victory,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

Sri Rama broke the bow in halves'

Jai Sri Ram,
Casting a glance at Lord she resolved to love him even at the cost of her life, Sri Rama, the embodiment of compassion, understood it all, Looking at Sri Sita he glanced at the bow as Garuda would gaze on a poor snake, When Laxmana Perceived that the Sri Rama had cast a glance at the bow, the hair on his body stood erect and he uttered the following words pressing the crust of earth under his foot,

O elephants guarding the cardinal points, o divine tortoise, O serpent-king, o Divine Bear, steadily hold the earth that it may not shake, Sri Rama seeks to break the bow of Shiva;therefore listen to my command and be ready,

When Rama drew near to the bow, men women present there invoked in his behalf the help of gods as well as their past deeds, the arrogance of the foolish kings, the proud pretensions of parshurama, the apprehension of gods that great sages, the distress of Sita, king Janaka's remorse and the fire of the queen's terrible agony, all these boarded the great bark of Shiva's bow, with whose help they sought to cross the boundless ocean of  Sri Rama's arm, but there was no helmsman to steer the ship,

Rama first looked at the crowd of spectators and found them motionless as the figures of a drawing, the gracious lord then turned his eyes towards Sri Sita and perceived her deep distress, He found Sita greatly agitated, every moment passed hung on her as a whole life time of the universe, if a thirsty man dies for want of water, of what avail is a lake of nectar to him once he is dead, what good is a shower when crop is dried up, thinking thus within self the lord looked at Sita and thrilled all over to perceive her singular devotion, he inwardly made obeisance to preceptor and took up the bow with great ability, the bow gleamed like a flash of lighting as he grasped it in his hand and then it appeared like a circle in the sky, no one knew when he took it in his hands strung it and drew it tight, everyone only saw standing instantly Sri Rama broke the bow in halves' the awful crash resounded through all spheres,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

CHERISHES TRUE LOVE

Jai sri Ram,
Held captive within her lotus-like mouth her bee lik speech refused to stir out for fear of the night of modesty,

Tears remained confined within corner of her eyes just as the gold    of a singly miser remains burred in a nook of his house,

Sri Sita felt abashed when she perceived her great agitation of mind; summoning up courage in her heart, therefore, she confidently said to to her self-

IF I AM TRUE TO MY VOW IN THOUGHT WORDS AND DEEDS AND IF MY MIND IS REALLY ATTACHED TO THE LOTUS FEET OF SRI RAMA'S BOND-SLAVE, FOR ONE GETS UNITED WITHOUT DOUBT WITH HIM FOR WHOM ONE CHERISHES TRUE LOVE

May lord bless all

Thanks please 

orb of the moon

Jai Sri Ram,
Imparting your heaviness to the assembly grow light yourself at the sight of Sri Rama,

Sri Sita felt much agitated at heart,

An instant hung heavy on her as a hundred Yugas

Gazing now at the Lord and now at the ground, her restless eyes sparked as if two cupid's fish disported themselves in the pail-like orb of the moon,

May Lord bless all,

Thank you,

hope now lies in you

Jai Sri Ram,
How then, O god, can i maintain my balance of mind,

Is a diamond ever pierced with the pointed end of a Sirisa flower,

The sense at the whole assembly has become dull,

Hence my only hope now lies in you, O Sambhu's bow,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Tender age

Jai Sri Ram,
The ministers are afraid, therefore none of them gives him good counsel,

It is all the more pity that it should be so in a conclave of wise men

While on the side stands the bow harder than adamant,

On other side we find that dark complexioned prince of delicate frame and tender age,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

Gazing repeatedly on the person sri Rama

Jai sri Ram,
The Queen felt assured at these words of her companion, Her despondency was gone and her love for sri Rama grew,

Then, casting a glance towards sri Rama, Sri Sita ji implored with anxious heart each god in turn, She inwardly prayed in a distressed state of mind; Be gracious to me-O great Lord Shiva and Bhavani, and rewarded my services by lightening the weight of the bow out of affection for me,

O god Ganesha, the chief of Shiva's attendants, O bestower of Boons, it is for the day that i have adored you, listening to my repeated supplication, therefore, reduce the weight of the bow to a mere trifle

Gazing repeatedly on the person sri Rama and summoning courage Sita prayed gods, her were filled with tears of love and the hair on her body stood on their end, she fastened her eyes to their fill on Sri Rama's beauty; but then the thought of her father's vow agitated her mind, She said to her self-Alas-my father has made a terrible resolve having no regard to good or evil consequences,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

I tell you

Jai sri Ram,
A Sacred Formula, indeed, is very small,

Although it has under its sway Brahma, Hari and Har and all other gods

A tiny goad governs the mightiest and most furious elephant,

Armed with a bow and arrow of flowers cupid has brought the whole universe under subjection realizing this, O Good Lady, give up all doubts, Rama, O Queen, will assuredly break the bow-I tell you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Sage Agastya

Jai Sri Ram,
One of her sharp witted companions gently replied,

The glorious are not be highly regarded, O Queen,

What comparison is there between the  sage agastya, who was born of a jar and the vest ocean,

Yet the sage drained it dry and his good fame has spread throughout the world, the orbs of the sun is so small to look at; but the moment it rises the darkness of all the three worlds disappears,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Can cygnets ever lift mount Mandara

Jai sri Ram,
Knowing that Ravana and Banasura did not even touch the bow,

And that all other kings were worsted in spite of all their boasts,

Strange that he should give the same bow into the hands of this young prince,

Can cygnets ever lift mount Mandara, good sense has taken leave of the king and one does not know the dispensation of providence,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

mere spectators of show

Jai sri Ram,
Lovingly gazing on Sri Rama and bidding her companions draw near,

Sri Sita's mother spoke words full of anguish out of affection,

Whosoever are called our friends, dear ones, are mere spectators of show,

No one urge the Vishvamitra and tell him that two princes are yet boys and such insistence on his part is not desirable,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

O Lord Ganesha

Jai Sri Ram,
Invoking the manes and the gods,

Recalling their own past good deeds they prayed,

If our religious merits are of any value,

O Lord Ganesha-may Rama snap the bow of Shiva as it were a lotus stalk,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

rejoiced and thrilled

Jai sri Ram,
Sages and gods, like the Cakravaka bird, were rid of their sorrow and rained down flowers in token of their homage,

Affectionately reverencing the Guru's feet Sri Rama asked leave of the holy fathers,

The Lord of all creation then stepped forth in his natural grace with thread of a noble and beautiful elephant in rut,

As Sri Rama moved ahead all men and women of the city rejoiced and thrilled all over their body,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

false king shrank

Jai Sri Ram,
As a chief of Raghus rose on his elevated seat like the morning Sun appearing in the horizon,

All saints were delighted like so many lotuses and their eyes were glad as bees at the return of day,

The hopes of rival kings vanished as night and their boasts died away like the serried stars,

The arrogant princes shrivelled up like the lilies and the false king shrank away like owls,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

Up-Rama, break the bow of Shiva

Jai sri Ram,
Perceiving that it was a propitious time, Visvamitra said in most endearing terms,

Up-Rama, break the bow of Shiva and relieve Janaka, my boy, of his anguish,

On hearing the Guru's words sri Rama bowed his head at his feet,

There was no joy or sorrow in his heart, he stood up in all his native grace, putting to shame a young lion by his elegant carriage,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Sri Rama checked Laxmana

Jai Sri Ram,
As Laxmana spoke these angry words, the earth shook and the elephants supported the quarters tottered,

The whole assembly including all the princes, was struck with terror,

Sri Sita felt delighted at heart, while Janaka blushed,

The Vishvamitra and all other hermits were glad at heart and thrilled all over again and again, with a sign Sri Rama checked Laxmana and made him sat beside him,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

I swear by your lotus feet

Jai sri Ram,
Realizing this, my Lord, let me have your command and see what wonders i work,

I will string the bow as though it were a lotus stalk and run with it not less than eight hundred miles

By the might of your glory, O Lord, i will snap it like the stalk of a Mushroom,

Or if i fail, I swear by your lotus feet never to handle a bow or quiver again,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

O delighter of the solar race

Jai sri Ram,
In an assembly where anyone of Raghu's is present no one would dare speak such scandalous words as Janaka has done,

Even though concious of the presence of Sri Rama, the jewel of Raghu's race,

Turning towards his brother, he added-listen, O delighter of the solar race,

I sincerely tell you, without any vain boasting; if i but have your permission, I will lift the round would like a ball and smash it like an ill baked earthen jar and by glory of your majesty, O blessed Lord, i can break mount meru like a raddish-What then, is this wretched old BOW

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

impregnated with Truth_

Jai Sri Ram,
All who heared janaka's words felt distressed at the sight of Sri Sita,

Laxmana, however, got incensed; his eyebrows were knit, his lips quivered and his eyes shot fire,

For fear of Sri Rama he could not speak, though janaka's words pierced his heart like an arrow,

Yet at last-bowing his head at the lotus feet of Sri Rama, he spoke words which impregnated with Truth_

May Lord bless all,

thanks Please 

Give up all hope

Jai sri Ram,
Give up all hope and turn your faces homewards,

It is not the will of providence that Sita should be married

All my religious merits shall be gone if i abandon my vow, The princes must remain a maid;what can i do,

Had i known that there are no more heroes in the world, i would not have made my self a laughing stock by undertaking such avow,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

no Hero left on the earth to my mind,

Jai sri Ram,
A lovely bride, a grand triumph and splendid renown are the prize but

Brahma-it seems, has not yet created the man who may break the bow,And win the above Rewards,

Tell me, who would not have this prize-but none could string the bow, let alone stir it even a grain's breadth from its place,

Now no one who prides on his valour should feel offended, if i assert that there is no Hero left on the earth to my mind,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Helplessly fortifying their fame

Jai sri Ram,
Helplessly fortifying their fame, glory and great valour to the bow they returned,

Confused and disheartened, the kings went and sat in the midst of their own company,

Seeing the kings thus frustrated king Janaka got impatient and spoke words as if in anger,

Hearing the vow made by me many a kings has come from diverse parts of the world, gods and demons in human form and many other heroes, staunch in fight, have assembled,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

virtuous lady refuses to yield the words of a gallant

Jai Sri Ram,
Ten thousands of kings then proceeded all at once to raise it,

But it baffled all attempts at moving it,

Shiva's bow did not stir in the same way as the mind of a virtuous lady refuses to yield the words of a gallant

All the princes made themselves butt of ridicule like a recluse without dispassion,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Grinding up their loins

Jai sri Ram,
Grinding up their loins they rose impatiently and bowing their head to their chosen deity and went ahead,

They cast an angry look at Shiva's bow, grappled with it with steady aim and exerted all their strength,

But the bow refused to be lifted, those princes-who had any sense at all did not even approach the bow,

Those foolish kings indignantly at the bow and retired in confusion when it refuses to leave its position, as though it grew more and more bulky by absorbing the might of each successive warrior,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

great champions Ravana and Banasur quietly slipped away

Jai sri Ram,
Even the great champions Ravana and Banasur quietly slipped away as soon as they saw the bow,

Whoever in this royal assembly break today the yonder unbending bow of Shiva shall be unhesitatingly and insistently wedded by Sri Sita ji,

And shall triumph over the three worlds,

Hearing the Vow all the princes were filled with longing , while those prided on their valour felt very indignant,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

planet Rahu

Jai Sri Ram,
The herald then uttered these polite words,

Listen all princes; with our long arm uplifted we announce to you king Videha's Vow,

The might of the arm of the various princes stands the moon,

While Shiva's bow is the planet Rahu as it were; it is massive and unyielding, as is known to all,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
