GLORY OF LORD RAMA

Hark, O Girija

 Jai Sri Ram,

Hark, O Girija, The Vedas, and the Tantras have sung numerous charming sinless exploits of Sri Hari, The cause of Sri Hari's descent cannot be precisely stated, listen, O sensible Lady, Rama is beyond the grasp of intellect, mind, and speech, such is my conviction,

 Yet, O charming Lady, I tell you the reason as I understand it and even the saints and sages, the Vedas and the Puranas have stated according to their intellectual level, whenever Brahman, cows, gods, and the earth itself are in trouble, the gracious Lord Assumes various forms and relieves the distress of the virtuous, Killing the demons, he reinstates the gods, preserves the bounds of propriety fixed by the Vedas, which represents his own breath and defuses his immaculate glory throughout the world, this is the motive of Sri Rama's descent, 

Singing this glory, the devotees cross the ocean of mundane existence, it is for the sake of his devotees that the compassionate lord bodies forth, the motives of Sri Rama's birth are many, each more wonderful than the other, I will refer to one or two such births at some length, please listen attentively, Sri Hari Has two gatekeepers Jaya and Vijaya, due to the curse of Brahmans, that Sankadik, both were born in the accursed species of demons, One that Hirankasipu and other Hiranaksa, both of them come out victorious in battle, the lord assumed the form of a boar in order to kill one of the two brothers, while bodying himself forth as a man-lion, he killed the other and spread the fair renown of his devotee Prahlada, Hiranyakasipu son,

It is these two brothers born again as the powerful and most valiant demons Ravana and Kumbhakarana, who were great warriors and as all the world knows conquered even gods, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
