charm of the eddies and waves,

 Jai Sri Ram,

The bridegroom party in the wedding of goddess Uma and Shiva are numberless aquatic creatures, the rejoicing and felicitations that attended the advent of Rama, represent the charm of the eddies and waves,

The childlike sports of the four divine brothers are the, numerous lotus flowers, while the stock of merits of Dasaratha and his consort represents the bees and water birds,

The fascinating story of Sita's choice, marriage is the delightful charm surrounding the river, pertinent questions are the boats, judicious replies are boatmen, 

The story of the crowd of travellers moving along the banks of river, Rama's soft ascent is unique to relate, auspicious preparation for coronation of Rama as prince in shadow of Kaikeyi' evil, a serious calamity in the wake,

Jai Siya Ram

Sri Ekadai Today

 

Sarayu and Sona shines

 Jai Sri Ram,

The three kind of audience are the towns, villages and cities on both the banks, and the congregation of saints is the incomparable Ayodhya, which is the fountain of all auspicious blessings,

The beautiful Sayaru in the form of Sri Rama's fair renown joined the heavenly stream Ganga of devotion to Rama, the latter was joined again by the charming stream of the mighty Sona in the form of the mortal glory of Rama with his younger brother Lakshmana,

Intervening the two streams of Sarayu and Sona shines the celestial stream of devotion blended with noble dispassion and session, this triple stream, which scares away the threefold agony referred to above, headed towards the ocean of Rama's divine personality,

With its source in the Manasa Lake and united with celestial river Ganga, the Sarayu of Rama's fame will purify the mind of the pious souls who listen to it, while the strange episodes interspersed here and there are the groves and gardens as it were adjoining the river Bank 

Jai Siya Ram 

fountain of pure bliss

 Jai Sri Ram,

Those men who cherish ideal devotion to the feet of Rama never quite this lake, let him who would bathe in this lake, brother, diligently practise Satsanga,

Having seen this Manasa lake with the mind's eye and taken a dip into it, the poet's intellect got purged of all its dross, The heart was flooded a stream of beautiful poetry, carrying the water if Rama's fair renown, 

Sarayu is the name of this river, which is the very fountain of pure bliss, The secular view point and the viewpoint of the Vedas, there represents the two charming banks, 

This holy stream, issuing as it does from the beautiful Manasa lake, uproots in its course all the impurities of the Kali age, whether in the form of tiny blades of grass or of the mighty trees,

Jai Siya Ram, 

most inaccessible

  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 Rama, even if anyone makes his way to it undergoing so much hardship, 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,

Finding himself unable to take a plunge into the lake or to drink from it, he returns with a feeling of pride, and if anyone comes to inquire about the lake, he tries to satisfy him by verifying him, 

All these obstacle do not, however, deter him whom Sri Rama regards with overwhelming kindness, he alone reverently bathes in the lake and thus escapes the threefold agony of the fiercest kind, 

Jai Siya Ram

mansarovar Lake

 Jai Sri Ram,

Those who carefully recite it, they alone are vigilant guardian 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 accused herons and crows who never approach the lake, for hare there are no varied talks of the pleasure of senses, corresponding to snails, frogs and moss,

That is why poor crows and herons in the form of lustful men lack heart to visit this place, for there is much difficulty in getting to this place and it is not possible to reach it without the grace of Sri Rama,

Bad company is so obdurate, contributes a terribly rough road, and the words of such companion are so many tigers, lions and serpents, the various occupations and entanglements of domestic life are huge mountain which are so difficult to approach, infatuation and pride are so many inaccessible woods, and sophisms of various kinds are frightful streams, 

Jai Siya Ram 

sporting of birds

  Jai Sri Ram,

Even so the mind control, the five , or the form of self restraint, viz,. non violence, truthfulness, non thieving, continence and non acquisition of property, 

The five Niyamas or religious vows, viz,. those external and internal purity, contentment, austerity, study of sacred books or repetition of the divine name and self surrender to God, are blossoms of these creepers, spiritual enlightenment is their fruit and loving devotion to the feet of Sri Hari constitutes the sap of this fruit of spiritual enlightenment, so declare the Vedas, 

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

The thrill of joy that one experience while to this narrative represents the flower gardens, orchards and groves, and the delight one feels is the sporting of birds, while a noble mind is gardner, who waters the garden, with moisture of love through the charming jars of eyes, 

Jai Siya Ram
