Glory to You, the mother of universe,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Seeing Parvati's devotion, enlightened sages exclaimed, Glory to You, the mother of universe, You are Maya, while Shiva is God himself, bowing their head they departed, Thrill ran to the body of Parvati again and again with the words of sages, Sages went and dispatched Himachal to Girija, Sages called on to Shiva, relate the truth, they experienced and went to their abode, Demon Taraka was flourishing and causing distract to gods, they approached Brahma, Brahma reassured them by saying, demon should die when the son sprong from loins of Shiva, for he alone can subdue that demon in battle,

They manage cupid to disturb the serene cult of Shiva to make him ready for merry with Parvati, god of love failed miserably to invoke Shiva for the cause of gods though he made to seized the mind of all including animate and inanimate, but it yields his end, Shiva mind too get afflicted, soon shiva In rage reduced love god to ashes, then console his wife Rati and relate the truth unto birth of her consort, till then, love gods dominate all even without body, In Krishna age, born as his son and you shall found him, all the gods reached Shiva and rejoiced at once,

The heart of all immortals is seized with a dominating impulse, they long to witness your wedding with their own eyes, my lord, O humbler of the pride of love, devise some means whereby we may be enabled to feast our eyes on this grand event, Having burnt the god of love you have done well in granting a boon to Rati, Parvati has practiced great penance which cannot be estimated, kindly accept her now, Shiva gladly said Amen,

The gods thereupon sounded kettledrums, raining down flowers exclamation victory, victory to the lord of celestials, considering this an opportune moment, the seven sages arrived on the scene,

Brahma immediately sent them to Himachal, first they reached at Parvati, said, relying on the advice of Narada you would not heed our remonstrances then, your vow failed now, Shiva has burnt the god of love, 

Jai Siya Ram

Sage Yajnavalakya

Jai Sri Ram,

Sage Yajnavalakya smilingly said, the glory of Rama is already known to you, you are a devotee of Rama in thought, word and deed, I have come to know your ingenuity, you wish to hear an account of the hidden virtues of Rama, That is why you have questioned me as if you were quite ignorant, listen, then, with devout attention, my child, while I narrate the beautiful story of Rama, appalling ignorance is the gigantic demon Mahisasura, while the narratives of Rama is the dread Kalika, 

The story of rama is like the moonbeams that are drunk in by Cacora bird in the form of Saints, a similar doubt was expressed by no less a personage than Bhavani, and the great God Shiva then expounded the matter in details, I shall relate to you the best of my lights the dialogue between Uma and Shambhu, hear, O sage, the time occasion of this dialogue, your gloom will be lifted, Once upon a time, Shiva called on the Jar Born sage Agastya along with his consort, Sage worshipped him to be the universal lord, and narrated the story of Rama, Shiva listened to it with delight, the sage then enquired about devotion to Hari, Shiva discoursed on it finding in sage a fit recipient, thus narrated the tale of Rama's virtues, spent some time there, asking leave of the sage, Shiva proceeded to his Kailash with Devi Sati, 

During those days, with a view to relieving of the earth, Sri Hari had descended in the line of Raghus, renouncing his right to the throne at the word of father, immortal Rama was wondering in the dandaka forest in the garb of an ascetic, Shiva kept pondering as he went, How can I obtain a sight of him, the lord embodied himself forth secretly, and if I visit him, everyone will know who he is, 

In Sankara heart there was a great lumult, Sati, however, had no inking of this secret, His mind Says Tulsidas, apprehended lest the secret might disclosed while the temptation of obtaining a sight of lord made his eyes wistful,Ravana had sought from Brahma the boon of death at the hand of a human, and the lord would have the words of Brahma come true, if I did not go to meet him, I shall ever regret it, Shiva pondering but found no solution to the puzzle,

Jai Siya Ram, 

I disclose my folly, dispel it

  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,

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

 Jai Sri Ram,

The story of Bharata wards off the calamities, River of Rama's glory is delightful during all seasons, charming and holy, Wedding of Goddess Parvati and Shiva represent the Hemanta that cold season, while festival connected with represent the chilly season, which abounds the joy and felicity,

Rama's departure to forest constitute hot weather that blazing sun with hot wind, terrible conflict with demons represents the rainy season, which constitute blessings for peddy crops, His polite truth represents the cloudless charming autumn, Bharata amiability represents coolness, which is uniform at all times, and beyond description, 

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, 

three kind of audience

 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,

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
