Jai Sri Ram,
Manu then resigned the throne to his son, and departed for the forest with his wife, preeminent of all holy places is the celebrated Namisharanya, the most sacred and bestowed success on those striving for realization, multitudes of sages and adepts lived there, glad of heart kind proceed to that place, passing along the road, king and queen of resolute mind looked like the incarnation of spiritual wisdom and devotion respectively, on reaching the bank of Gomati, they bathed with delight in the limpid stream,
Adepts and enlightened sages came to see him recognizing him in the roral sage a champion of virtue, reverently look upon them to all holy and lovely spots that were scattered here and there, with emaciated bodies and clad in hermits robes they daily listened to the Puranas, devotedly repeated the twelve letter verse, the mind was fondly devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu,
They lived on vegetables, fruits, and roots and meditated on the absolute that Brahma, who by nature is truth personified, conscious, and bless combined, again they started penance for the sake of Hari, giving up roots and fruits for water alone, their heart was clamored, let us see with our eyes that supreme Lord who is without attributes, without parts and without beginning or end, who is contemplated by the exponents of the highest reality, whom Vedas describe in Negative terms, not this-not this,
Who is bliss itself, unconditioned and without companion and form a particle of whose being emanate a number of Sambhus, Viranchis, and Vishnus, even such lord is subordinate to his devotees and assumes for their sake a form suitable for sport, if the above utterances of the Vedas are true, our desire will be surely accomplished, in this way six thousand years elapsed even while they lived on water, then another seven millennia they lived on air alone,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
