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
