Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Hari indulged in many kinds of childish sports to the great delight of his servants, after some time all four brothers passed the stage of infancy, gladdening the inmates of the house, the preceptor then came and performed the ceremony of tonsure, and the Brahmans received handsome presents for officiating at the same, all the four noble princes moved about indulging in numerous plays, which were most delightful to look at, the Lord, who cannot be comprehended through mind, speech or action, sported in the courtyard of Dasaratha,
When the king while at dinner called him he would not turn up, loth as he was to leave the company of his playmates, when Kaushalya went to call him, the lord would run away toddling, he whom the Vedas declare in negative terms, and whose end even Shiva could not find, the mother ran to catch him by force, with his body besmirched all over with dust, he came and the king smilingly took him in his arms, even while the lord set at dinner, his mind was restless, so that moment he got a chance he would run away hither and thither with cream of delight, his mouth daubed with curds and rice,
His charming and most innocent childish sports have been sung by Sarada, Seasa Sambhu, and the Vedas, those whose mind does not take delight in these have been deprived by the providence of a great good fortune, when all the four brothers attained boyhood, the preceptor as well as their parents invested them with the sacred thread, Sri Rama then proceeded to his preceptor's residence for study and in a short time mastered all the branches of knowledge,
What great fun that Sri Hari, whose natural breath stands crystallized in the form of the four Vedas should go to school, proficient in learning and perfect in politeness, virtues and decorum, they played all the games imitating the role of a king, with arrows and bow in the hands of each they appeared most charming, their beauty enraptured the whole creation, through whichever street they passed in pursuits of their sports, all the people there stood motionless on perceiving them,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
