circumstances under which Garuda, the glory of feather kingdom, called on to Kakabhusandi,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Girija, I have narrated the whole episode as when I visited Kakabhusandi, now hear the circumstances under which Garuda, the glory of feather kingdom, called on to Kakabhusandi, 

When Rama enacted sport of a combat with Meghnada who had conquered the Indra even, Rama allowed himself to be bounded by Meghnada in Nagpash, sage Narada immediately dispatched Garuda, when Garuda devour all serpents to liberate Rama, he departed terrible dejected possessed his soul, recalling the truth of event that Rama an incarnation of Vishnu, my master, supreme ruler beyond Maya and errors, how a demon made him like this, 

The Same Rama by repeating his name alone men get freedom from the bonds of worldly existence was tied down by a puny demon with coils of snakes, this induces huge doubt in his mind, he reached celestial sage and express his doubt in wrap of his pride in truth with ego, Narada directs him to Brahma, Brahma redirects him to Shiva that me, then came Garuda to me in distress, i was heading for Kubera's residence, midway he mets me, I redirected him to Kakabhusandi to quash his doubts to get rid of ego,  

Except in the company of saints, there is no talk of Sri Hari, and one cannot be rid of error except through such talk, and tll one's error is dispersed one cannot have deep routed affection for Sri Rama's feet,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please

Stories of Sri Rama are numberless and beyond all dimensions, Even Vedas cannot reveal the full in truth all about Rama, one may count the drops of water in shower of Rains but exploited of Sri Rama,  his birth, his names too are endless so is the truth of his Glory, 

But, this sacred story ensure safe passage to the abode of Rama, I have repeated tis delightful story which Kaka Bhusandi recited to Garuda, I have recounted a few of Sri Rama's virtues, let me know Bhavani what I am to tell next,

Uma gladly replied in soft ascents that I am thrice blessed to heard this sacred praise of Rama that takes away fear of birth and rebirth, 

O Lord by your esteemed grace Now I have attained to the object of my life and no delusion left in me, I have realized the greatness of Rama, who is knowledge and bliss personified, While you sang what you have chosen to call, The Manasa Lake of Sri Hari's exploits, I listened, my lord, you just told me that this charming story was recited by Kakabhusandi to Garuda, Bhusandi is staunch in his dispassion and steadfast in his wisdom and realization, cherish deep devotion to Rama, the one that possesses whole sum truth of Rama but a crow in form, fills me with doubt, please relate it,
