stupor overtakes his heart

Jai Sri Ram,

The Manasa is most inaccessible to those who lack provisions for the journey in the shape of piety,

Who do not enjoy the company of saints,

And who have no love for the lord of Raghus,

Even if anyone makes his way to it undergoing so much hardship, he is forthwith attacked by ague in the shape of drowsiness benumbing cold in the shape of stupor overtakes his heart, so that the unhappy soul is deprived of a dip even after reaching there,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

many tigers, lions and serpents

 Jai Sri Ram,

The bad company, which is so obdurate, constitutes a terribly rough road,

And the words of such companions are so many tigers, lions and serpents, 

The Various occupations and entanglements of domestic life are huge mountains, Which are so difficult to approach, 

Infatuation, arrogance and pride are so many inaccessible words and sophism of various kinds are frightful streams,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

pleasures of senses

 Jai Sri Ram,

For here there are no varied  talk of the pleasures of senses,

Corresponding to snails, frogs and moss,

That is why poor crows and herons in the form of lustful men lack the heart to visit this place, 

For there is much difficulty in getting to this place and it is not possible to reach it without grace of Sri Rama,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Mansarovar Lake

 Jai Sri Ram,

Those who carefully recite this poem, 

They alone are the vigilant guardians of this lake,

And those men and women who reverently hear it everyday are great gods exercising jurisdiction over this Mansarovar Lake,

Sensual wretches are the accursed herons and crows who never approach the lake,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

 

moisture of love

 Jai Sri Ram,

The various other episodes forming part of this narrative are birds of different colors such as the parrot and the Cuckoo,

This thrill of joy that one experiences while listening to this narratives represents the flower gardens, orchards and grooves,

And the delight one feels is the sporting of birds,

While a noble mind is the gardener, who waters the garden, with the moisture of love through the charming jars of eyes,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

so declare by the Vedas

 Jai Sri Ram,

Even so mind control, the five Yamas or forms of self restraint,

That non violence, truthfulness, non thieving, continence and non acquisition of property, 

The five Niyamas or religious vows that those external and internal purity, contentment, austerity, study of scared books, or repetition of the divine name, and self surrender to God, are blossoms of these creepers,

Spiritual enlightenment in their fruit and loving devotion to the feet of sri Hari constitute the sap of this fruit of spiritual enlightenment, so declare by the Vedas, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Eulogies on virtuous men,

 Jai sri Ram,

Eulogies on virtuous men, pious souls and the name of God, 

These correspond to water birds of various kinds,

The assemblage of saints referred to herein are the mango groves hemming the lake on all sides and piety has been likened to the vernal season,

The exposition of the various types of devotion and the references to forbearance, compassion and sense control represent the canopies of creepers, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
