The story of sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram
The story of sri Rama is like the moonbeams that drunk in by Cakora bird in the form of a saint,

A similar doubt was expressed by no less than a personage than Bhavani,

The Great God shiva than expounded the matter in detail,

I shall now to the best of my lights the dialogue between goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

gigantic demon

Jai sri Ram
Listen, then, with devout attention, my child,

While i narrate the beautiful story of Rama,

Appalling ignorance is the gigantic demon Mahishasur,

While the narrative of Rama is the dread Kalika,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

overwhelming perplexity

Jai sri Ram,
Tell me in detail my master, the story whereby my overwhelming perplexity may be overcome,

I have come to know your ingenuty that you wish to hear an account of the hidden virtues of Rama, that is why you have questioned me as if you were ignorant,

Is this the very Rama

Jai Sri Ram
Is this the very Rama,

Or some one else whose name the slayer of demon Tripura, Shiva-ever repeats,

flying into a rage he slew Ravana in Battle,

Jai Sri Ram

Infinite was his Sorrow due to the loss of his Wife and flying into a rage he slew Ravana in Battle,

May Lord Bless all,

holy city of Kashi

Jai sri am
The saints as well as Puranas and Upanishads too declare that the potency of the Name Rama is unlimited,

The Immortal Lord Shiva, who is the fountain of joy and a storehouse of wisdom and goodness, incessantly repeats it,

There are four broad divisions of living beings in the world, such of them as die in the holy city of Kashi attain highest state,

This Too marks the glory of Sri Rama's Name, for it is very name that Lord Shiva imparts to the dying soul in Kashi,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram
The saints lay down the rule and the vedas as well as the puranas and sages too loudly proclaimed,

That pure wisdom cannot dawn in the heart, Should one keep anything concealed from one's preceptor,

Remembering this i disclose my folly,

Dispel it, taking pity on this servant my Lord,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

holy sir

Jai sri Ram,
And extolling his fair renown with religious ceremony,

Sage Bhardwaj spoke in mild and reverential tones,

A grave doubt haunts my mind, holy sir,

And the whole mystery of the Vedas stands revealed to you, i am afraid and ashamed to utter the doubt and i lose a great opportunity if i keep it back,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sun's stay in Capricorn

Jai Sri Ram
There is a great rejoicing every year and having performed their ablutions while Sun stays in Capricorn the host of sages disperse,

Having bathe on one occasion for the whole period of the Sun's stay in Capricorn when all the great sages had left  for their hermitages,

Bhardwaj clasped by the feet and detained the supremely wise saint Yajnavalikya,

He reverently washed the latter's lotus feet and installed him on a most sacred seat,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please
