Is It This Very Rama,,

 Jai Sri Ram,

I ask you my lord, WHO THAT RAMA IS, pray explain to me, O store house of compassion,

One such Rama is the prince of Ayodhya whose exploits are known throughout the world, 

Infinite was his sorrow due to the lose of his wife, and flying into rage he slew Ravana in Battle, 

Is It This Very Rama,, my lord. or some one else whose name Shiva, ever repeats, you are embodiment of truth and omniscient, so ponder well and give me your considered reply, tell me in detail, my master, my overwhelming perplexity may be overcome, 

Jai Siya Ram

doubt haunts my mind

 Jai Sri Ram,

A great doubt haunts my mind, Holy Sir, the whole mystery of the Vedas stands revealed to you,I am afraid and ashamed to utter the doubt and I lose a great opportunity if I keep it back,

The saint lay down the rule, and Vedas as well as the Puranas and sages too loudly proclaim, that pure wisdom cannot be dawn in the heart, would one keep anything concealed from one's spiritual preceptor,

Remembering this I disclose my folly, dispel it, taking pity on this servant, my Lord, Saints and all ancient scripture declared that potency of the name Rama is unlimited, the immortal lord Shiva, who is the fountain of joy and a storehouse of wisdom and goodness, incessantly repeat it, 

There are four broad divisions of living beings in the world, such of them as die in the city of Kashi attain to highest State, for it is this very name That Shiva mercifully impart to the dying soul in Kashi,

Jai Siya Ram, 

At daybreak

 ai Sri Ram,

At daybreak they all perform their ablutions fervour and then converse together on the virtues of Sri Hari, 

They discuss the nature of Brahma that the supreme eternal, the precepts of religion and the classification of fundamental entities on devotion to the Lord coupled with spiritual enlightenment and dispassion, 

In this way they bathe for the whole month of Magha and then return each to his hermitage, great rejoice every year and having performed their ablutions while sun stays in capricorn the host of sages disperse,

Once Sage Bhardwaj clasped the feet of supremely wise sage Yajnavalkya, reverently washed his lotus feet and installed him on a most sacred seat, extolling his fair renown with religious ceremony, Bhardwaj Spoke in mild and reverential tones, 

Jai Siya Ram

  Jai Sri Ram,

Having enumerated the virtues of this excellent water to the best of his intellectual capacity and bathed his mind in it, and remembering goddess Bhavani and Lord Shiva,, poet narrates beautiful story, 

Installing in my heart lotus feet of Rama thus securing his grace, I now proceed to relate the charming story of meeting of the two great sages that Yajnavalkya and Bhardwaja,

Sage Bharadwaj lives in Prayaga, devoted to Rama, ascetic and embodiment of self restraint, composure of mind and compassion, advanced on the path of Spirituality, In the Month Magha when all gods sages, pious souls, aspirants and other celestial Visit the Triveni as the sun enters in Zodiac sign capricorn to pay oblations in truth with self, they all bathe and experienced their inherent reality in context with that truth, 

Visit the ancient temple of Vindumadhava, to feel obliged of the occasion and tough the immortal Banyan tree which thrills the soul, nearby had the hermitage of Sage Bhardwaja, the most sacred from the true of austere penance of the sage, a holiest reality among the holy truth of Triveni,

Creature wanderings in pursuits of sensuous pleasures,

 Jai Sri Ram,

The way the four brothers look at one another meet and love one another, their mirth and their ideal brotherliness, my intense longing, supplication and humility represent the not inconsiderable lightness of this pure and holy water,

The marvelous water heals by the mere hearing, quenches the thirst of desire and washes the dirt of the mind, the water nourishes true love for Rama, and drives away the sins of Kali age, relieves the fatigue of transmigration, gratifies gratification itself,

It wipes out lust anger and pride and infatuation, and enhances pure wisdom, and dispassion, by reverently bathing in it, and drinking it sanctify the heart, 

Creature wanderings in pursuits of sensuous pleasures, will come to grief even as a thirsty deer runs after a mirage mistaken it for water, and returned disappointed,

Jai Siya Ram,
