Jai Sri Ram,
On hearing the ocean words Sri Rama called his counselors and spoke to them-why delay now, Build the bridge-so that army my cross over,

Jamavant Said your name itself, my lord, is a bridge by ascending which men cross over the ocean of mundane existence, will take no time to cross the insignificant sea,

Hanuman added, Glory of Lord is a great submarine fire that had long since sucked up the water of the ocean, but filled again by the flood of tears shed by your enemies wives, that is how it came to be salty in taste,

Sri Rama smiled, Jambavan called Nala and Nila, related to them the whole story, calling to mind the glory of Sri Rama start building the Bridge,

Forgive me

Jai sri Ram
When the Lord fitted the terrible arrow to his Bow, a blazing fire broke out in the heart of the ocean, God presiding over the ocean found creature burning, he gave up his pride and assuming the form of a Brahman, came with a gold plate filled with all kinds of jewels, clasped the feet of lord in dismay, Said

Forgive me, O Lord-of my faults. all the five are dull by nature, it is Your Maya which brought them forth for the purpose of creation under impulse from you, I shall be dried up and the army will crss but will bring no credit to me, i shall do at once what pleases to you,

You have two monkeys in your army, got a boon in their childhood from a sage, touched by them even huge mountians will float on the ocean by your glory, My lord have ocean bridged-so that this glorious achievement of yours may be sung in all the three spheres of creation, with this arrow exterminate a race of criminals inhabiting my northern coast, On hearing this Sri Rama, immediately relieved the agony of ocean's heart, the god rejoiced and gratified to witness Sri Rama's astounding might and valor, ocean took his leave,

The god presiding over the ocean left for his home, the Story of Sri Rama's exploits in this chapter which wipes out the impurities of Kali age, has been sung by Sri Tulsidas according to his lights, the excellence of Sri Rama are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubts and unfailing rededy for sorrow, therefore, giving up all other hope and faith, O Manasa[mind] ever sing abd hear them,

three days

Jai sri Ram
Although three days had elapsed, the crass ocean would not answer the Lord's prayer, Sri Rama thereupon indignantly said

There can be no friendship without inspiring fear,

Bring my bow and arrows, i will dry up the ocean,

Supplication before an idiot, friendship with a rough, inculcating liberality on a born miser taking wisdom to one steeped in worldliness,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

returned to his Hermitage

Jai sri Ram
Ravana was dismayed at heart as he listened to the above message, but wore a feigned smile on his face and spoke aloud for all to hear, the younger hermit's grandiloquence is just like an attempt of a man lying on the ground to clutch with hands the vault of heaven,

Suka said-my lord giving up haughtiness take every word of it as true, avoid clash with Rama, is lord of the entire universe, Restore Sita to sri Rama, Ravana kicked him , Suka bowed his head at Ravana's feet and proceeded to the place where the Rama was,

Making obeisance to Sri Rama-he told all about himself and by sri Rama's Grace recovered his original state, he was an enlighten sage, it was by the curse of Sage agustya that he had transformed into a demon,

Adoring sri Rama's feet again and again the sage returned to his Hermitage,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai sri Ram
Even though-my friend-you have no craving, my sight in this world never fails to beings its reward, So Saying Lord Rama applied on his forehead the sacred mark of SOVEREIGNTY and a copious shower of flowers reined down from the heavens, Lord Save the Vibhishan and conferred on him with much diffidence the same fortune which lord Shiva has bestowed on Ravana after offering his ten heads in a sacrifice,

Vibhishan Said-Lord although your arrow itself will dry up innumerable oceans yet propriety demands that you should approach the ocean and request to all fair passage, the presiding deity of ocean is an ancestor of yours, lord said friend you have suggested an excellent plan-let us try, lord bowed his head and greeted the ocean then spreading some Kusha grass on the shore, took his seat  thereupon,

Assuming false appearance of monkeys spies from Ravana witnessed all the doings of Sri Rama-they applauded Sri Rama's amiability and forget their disguise, monkeys recognize them,Laxmana called them near and moved pity, immediately had them released with note for Ravana, Surrender Sita and make peace or your hour is come,  

Bowing their head at Laxmana feet they reached at and relates the truth of that camp. All the monkeys and bears are born warriors and beside they have Lord Rama, they can conquer in battle even millions of Yamas, Message of Laxmana is beguiling with flattering words, O fool, do not bring your race to utter ruin, by courting enmity with Rama you will not be spared even though you seek the protection of Vishnu, Brahma or shiva, therefore abandoning the pride, like our brother, either seek refuge in lotus feet of Rama as a bee or be consumed with your family like a moth into the fire of sri Rama's wrath

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please   

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram
Dwelling in my capital you cherish love for hermits, if so go and join with Them and kicked him, Taking his ministers with him Vibhishan departed, Said-I will go today and behold with these eyes of mine, those very feet,Cherishing such fond expectation Vibhishan crossed over,

Sugreeva approached Lord that Ravana's brother has come to see you-sri Rama said, i will not abandon even the murderer of myriads of Brahmans if he seeks refuge in me, Vibhishan to Lord-having heard wit my own ears of your renown i have come to you with belief that you dissipates the fear of birth and rebirth, save me-Save Me, When the Lord saw Vibhishan prostrate, he immediately started up much delighted, taking him in his long arms clasped him to his bosom, tell me king of Lanka, is all well with you,

Vibhishan Said-There can be no happiness for a creature nor can its mind know any peace even in dream, so long as it does not relinquish desire which is an abode of sorrow and adore Sri Ram, i am blessed beyond measure, O all gracious and blissful Rama, in that i have beheld with my own eyes the lotus feet which are worthy of adoration even to Brahma and Shiva, Lord Said-listen my friend i tell you my nature, if a man, even though he has been an enemy to the whole world comes terror stricken to me, seeking his protection and discarding vanity, infatuation, hypocrisy and traceries of various kinds, i speedily make the very like of a saint,

The ties of affection that binds man are like so many threads which a pious soul gathers up and twists into a string wherewith he binds his soul to my feet, looks upon all with same eye, no craving and mind free from joy-grief and sorrow, a saint of this description abides in my heart, only saints of your type are dear to me, for the sake of none else do i body myself forth, THOSE MEN WHO WORSHIP ME IN MY PERSONAL FORM, ARE INTENT ON DOING GOOD TO OTHERS, FIRMLY TREAD THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND STEADFAST IN THEIR VOW AND DEVOTED TO THE FEET OF THE BRAHMANS ARE DEAR TO ME AS LIFE,

  May Lord Bless all

Thanks please 

Malyavan

Jai sri Ram
Ravana had a very old and sagacious minister named Malyavan, he felt gratified to hear Vibhishan's words,

He Said to Ravana, your younger brother is very ornament of wisdom, take to heart what Vibhishan says,

Ravana shout that both these fools glorify the enemy, is there anyone who remove them out,

Vibhishan again requested Ravana with joined palms, clasped your feet i beseech you, grant this prayer of mine as a token of affection for me, restore Sita to Rama so that no harm may come to you,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

another's wife

Jai Sri Ram
When a minister, a physician and a religious preceptor-these three use pleasing words from fear or hope of reward, the result is that dominion. health and faith all the three forthwith go,

Such is a contingency that presented itself before Ravana,

Vibhishan said_since your gracious Majesty has asked my opinion, i tender it according to my lights,

Let him who seek after his death and joy of various kinds turn his eyes away from the brow of another's wife even as one should refuge to see the moon of fourth night to the brighter half,

May Lord bless all,

Jai sri Ram
Ravana said that a woman is timorous by nature is truly said, she entertains fear even on an auspicious occasion,

Laughed and embraced her and then left for his counsel chamber exhibiting great fondness for her,

As he occupied his royal seat, ask advice from counselors, they laughed and submitted when you conquered gods and demons-of what account then can men and monkeys,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

dreary days and weary nights,

Jai Sri Ram
On hearing Ravana's command, demons set fire to Hanuman's tail, He saw the fire blazing, assumed a utterly diminutive size, at that moment impelled by god, all 49 winds began to bluster, Hanuman ran and sprang from palace to palace, the city was all blaze, Hanuman went unscathed because he was the messenger of him who created fire itself,

After quenching his tail, relieving fatigue he re-assumed diminutive form, and stood before Sita with joined palm, Be pleased mother to give me some token, such as lord gave me, thereupon unfastened the jewel on her hand and gave it to son, convey my obeisance to lord, dear son, my lord is all sufficient yet recalling your vow of kindness to the afflicted, relieve, o master, my grievous distress,

Repeat to him episode of jayant, Now you speak of going my son, your sight had brought relief to my heavy heart, i have before me now the same dreary days and weary nights,

Jai sri Ram
I have accomplished all that i had to, my mother, for your blessing, is unfailing, I am hungry-she said-this grove is guarded by most valiant and mighty demons, Hanuman said i am not afraid of them, seeing the Monkey perfect in strength and wit, Janaki said Go my son, enjoy luscious fruit with heart fixed at Rama,

Hanuman roared and slaughtered the whole demon host, some escaped and cried, O lord the monkey is too strong for us, Ravana flew into rage when heard death of his son, sent meghanath-kill not but binds him, He when failed the way else-ultimately used Brahmashtra, to respect the glory of Brahmashtra sri Hanuman allowed him to be bound, Ravana laughed and railed at him, y whose might have you wrought the destruction of grove,

By an iota of whose might you were able to conquer the entire creation, whose beloved spouse has been stolen by you, know me to be his envoy, never antagonize him who is source of terror even to death, lord Rama is protector of suppliant and ocean of compassion, forgetting your offences will give you shelter if you put turn to him,

I tell you on oath, there is none to save him who is oppose to Sri Rama, abandon pride, adore sri Rama, Ravana said why not some of you quickly kill this fool, Demons rushed forward to kill him but Sri Vubhishan said envoy must not be punished, some other way, Ravana said, all right sent back mutilated, is fond of his tail-swath his tail with rags socked in oil then set to fire,

May lord bless all,

thanks please

Jai Sri Ram
Had the Rama any news about you, would not have tarried, Mother i take you to sri Rama this very moment but not have orders from Lord, Rama arrives here with troops of monkeys, slaughtering the demons will take you away,

Sita said, but my son all the monkeys must be pygmies like you, i have grave misgivings, on hearing this Hanuman revaeled his Natural form, colossal as a mountain of gold, terrible in battle-with great might and full of valor,

Hanuman said, listen Mother monkeys possess no great strength or intelligence either but through the might of Sri Rama, Sita felt gratified at heart, gave him blessings,

May you become a repository of strength and virtue, dear child may you ever immune from old age and death, prove to be the storehouse of good qualities my son, May the lord be gracious to you, herewith Hanuman utterly overwhelmed with emotion, again and again bow at the feet of Sri Sita,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

have courage in your heart

Jai Sri Ram
Sri Rama Said, ever since i have separated from you, Sita

Everything to me has become its very reverse, fresh and tender leaves on the tree look like tongues of fire, night appears as dreadful as the night of final dissolution and moon scorches like Sun, bed of lotuses are like so many spears planted, rain cloud pour boiling oil as it were,

Once agony is assuaged to some extend even by speaking of it-but to whom shall i speak,

The reality about the cord of love that binds you and me, dear, is known to my soul alone, my soul ever abides in you, know it to be the essence of my love,-----the moment she heard lord's message-she lost all consciousness of her body, Hanuman Said-mother collect your body and fix your thought on Sri Rama, shake off all faint heartedness on my words-host of demons are like so many moths while the shafts of Lord are like flames, have courage in your heart, Mother-take the demons as consumed,

May Lord bless all,

To me who was being drowned in the ocean of desolation, Dear Hanuman, you have come as  a veritable bark, now tell me-i adjure you-the welfare of sri Rama and his younger brother, wherefore has the tendered hearted Rama become so hard hearted,

Will my eyes, dear Hanuman-be ever gladdened by the sight of His Swarthy and delicate limbs, words failed her and her eyes swam with tears, O My Lord-YOU Have forgotten me, Seeing Sita distressed Hanuman said in soft and polite ascents-Lord and his younger brother are both well-mother-except for the fact that the all merciful is sorrowful because of your Sorrow,

Please do not feel vexed at heart-mother-Sri Rama loves you twice as much as you love him, Mother compose your self now and hear the message of sri Rama, even as he uttered these words, Hanuman's voice was chocked with emotion and his eyes filled with tears,

May Lord bless all,

O Mother

Jai sri Ram
The moment seemed liked an age to Hanuman as he beheld Sita extremely distressed, taking thought within self-dropped down the signet ring,  As though the Ashok tree had thrown a spark, Sita sprang up with joy and took it in her hand,

She saw charming Ring with name of Rama, recognize it with wonder, agitated at heart, who can conquer the invincible Rama and such a ring cannot be prepared through Maya, indulged in fancies of various kinds, Hanuman spoke in honeyed accents and began to recount Praise of sri Rama,

The moment they reached sita's ears her grief took flight, she listened with soul, while Hanuman relate the story from beginning, Sita said-who has told this tale like nectar-not reveal, thereupon Hanuman drew near her, Hanuman Said I am Sri Rama's messenger, Mother Janaki, i solemnly swear by all merciful lord himself, ring has been brought by me, O Mother, sri Rama gave it to me as a token for you,

Sita asked-tell me what brought this fellowship between a man and a monkey, Hanuman explained all, As she heard Hanuman's affectionate words her soul trusted him and she recognize him to be a servant of all merciful Rama,

With Joined palm she said to Trijata, Mother you are my only companion in adversity, devise some mean whereby i may cast off this body,  hard to bear, can no longer endured, bring wood-put up pyre, set fire to it,

Thus prove the genuineness of my love for the lord, Trijata said-listen of tender lady, no fire can be had at night, so saying she left,

Hearing himself likened to a glow worn and Sri Rama compared with the sun, exasperated harsh  words. the monster drew out his sword and said, Sita-you have insulted me, i will cut off your head, if not obey my command at once-or else you lose your life,

Jai sri Ram
Seeing on the surface of water the reflection of the creature that coursed in the air she would catch it and the bird was unable to move,

In this way she would devour birds everyday, she employed the same trick against Hanuman but Sri Hanuman at once saw through her trick game.

Sri Hanuman dispatched her and swept across the ocean, resolute of mind as he was,

Reaching the other shore he gazed on the loveliness of the forest with bees humming in quest of Honey, Beholding a huge mountain ahead of him, he fearlessly ran up to its submit, Sri Hanuman deserved no credit for it, it was all attribute to the Glory of Lord, who devours death himself, climbing up the hill he surveyed Lanka, a most marvelous fortress that defined description, It was very high and was enclosed by the ocean on all sides, the rampant of gold shed great luster all round,

Sri Hanuman simply touch the mountain with his hand and then made obeisance to it saying, there can be no rest for me till i have accomplished Sri Rama's Work,

The gods saw the son of wind-god sweeping along and in order to test his extraordinary strength and intelligence they sent Sursa, a mother of serpents, who came near him and said, the gods have provided me a meal today,

On hearing these words Hanuman said, let me return after accomplishing Sri Rama's errand and tell my lord the news of Sita, then i will approach you and enter your mouth-i tell you the truth, Mother Let me go now,

when however she would not let him go on any account, Hanuman said why not devour me, she descended her mouth to a distance of eight miles, while Hanuman grew double the size of her mouth, she stretched her mouth to hundred and twenty eight miles, Hanuman took a form coveting two hundred and fifty six miles, even as Sursa further expanded her mouth, Hanuman assumed a very minute form and entered her mouth and came out again, bowing his head to her begged leave to proceed,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

O Mainaka

Jai sri Ram
The hill on which Hanuman planted his foot while leaping sank down immediately into the nethermost region that Patala,

Hanuman speed forth in the same way as the unerring shaft of sri Rama,

Knowing him to be sri Rama's emissary, the deity presiding over the ocean spoke to mount Mainaka,

Relive him of his fatigue  O Mainaka by allowing him to rest on you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Hanuman took a leap with his all might,

Jai Sri Ram
I adore the lord of universe bearing the name of Rama, the crest jewel of kings, mine of compassion, the dispeller of sins, appearing in human form through his Maya, the greatest of all gods,knowable through Vedanta, constantly worshiped by Brahma, Shiva and the Shesha, bestower of supreme peace in the form of final beatitude, placid, eternal, beyond the ordinary means of cognition, sinless and all pervading,

There is No Other Caving in my Heart-O Lord; i speak the truth and you are the spirit indwelling the hearts of all, grant me intense devotion to your feet, O crest jewel of Raghu's and free my mind from faults like concupiscence,

I bow to the son of wind god, the beloved devotee of Sri Rama, the chief of monkeys, the repository of all virtues, the foremost among the wise, a fire to consume the forest of the demon race, possessing a body shinning as a mountain of gold and a home of immeasurable strength,

Sri Hanuman was much delighted at heart to hear the heartening speech of Jambavant, he said, suffering hardship and living on bulbs, roots and fruits, wait for me, breathen-till i return after seeing Sita, i am sure our object will be accomplished as i feel very cheerful-so saying and after bowing head to them all he set out full of joy with an  image of Sri Rama enshrined in his Heart, there was beautiful hill on the sea coast-he lightly sprang on to its top, and invoking sri Rama again and again, Sri Hanuman took a leap with his all might,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Listen o Mighty Hanuman

Jai sri Ram
Now each one of the monkeys talked of his own strength, but doubted ability to leap across,

Said Jambvaan, I am now too old, when sri Rama assumed the form of Vamana i was young and possessed great strength, in his effort to make Bali captive the lord grew to an indescribable size-yet in less than an hou i devotedly ran clockwise around hin as many as seven times,

Said Angada, i will leap across but have difficulty in heart about getting back,

   Jambvant interposed, turned towards Hanuman, Listen o Mighty Hanuman, how is that you are keeping mum, it is service of sri Rama that you have come down upon earth, The moment Hanuman heard these words he grew to the size of a mountain, with body of gold that full of splendor Roaring again and again like a lion and said, I can easily spirng across the salty ocean and killing Ravana with his army can uproot the Trikut hill and bring it here, But I ask you-kindly tender me suitable advice, all that you have to do-my son-is to go and see Sita and Come Back with her tidings, Sri Rama will recover her by the strength of his arm taking with him a host of monkeys for mere sport, A man who hears, sings, repeats or studies them will attain to the supreme state,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Plaese

so saying Sampati departed,

Jai sri Ram
He who cam leap over the ocean having a width of eight hundred miles and is repository of intelligence will be able to do sri Rama's business,

Look at me and take courage in your heart, see how rejuvinated i feel in body with new pair of wings by sri Rama's grace,

Even sinner who invoke Sri Rama's name are able to cross the vast and boundless ocean of mundane existence,

You-therefore-who are his spies, should never lose nurve but be up and doing with image of sri Rama enshrined in heart, so saying Sampati departed,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

vulture's sight

Jai Sri Ram
I see her, through you cannot,

For the range of vulture's sight is unlimited,

I have grown old now,

Or else i would have rendered some help to you,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Take me to the sea shore

Jai sri Ram
Take me to the sea shore, so that i may make offering of water with sesame seeds to my my departed brother, i can help you only with my instruction, which you will succeed in recovering Her whom you seek,

Having performed the after death ceremonies in respect of his departed brother Jatayu on the sea shore Sampati narrated his own story, Listen-O Monkeys chief, in the prime of our youth we two brothers soared in the heavens that approached the orb of the Sun,

Jatayu could bear not the heat  of the sun and come back but i in my pride advanced near the Sun, my wings were scorched with inordinate heat and i fell to the ground, a sage Candrama by Name was moved with compassion when he saw me, he taught me spiritual wisdom  in many ways and rid me of my identification with this body,

In treta age the supreme spirit will take the form of a human being and demon king Ravana will carry of his spouse, the lord will send out the spies to search her and you will be absolved of all sins by meeting them, your wings will sprout again, you will have to do this much only, show them where Sita may be, The sage prediction come true today, ON THE SUMMIT OF THE TRIKUTE HILL STANDS THE CITY LANKA, RAVANA LIVES THERE, THERE IN ASHOK GARDEN, IS SITA LODGED, WHO SITS THERE, PLUNGED IN GRIEF, EVEN NOW,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please 

Jatayu

Jai Sri Ram
Seeing Angada distress Jambavan gave a highly instructive discourse, Imagine not Rama to be a mortal, dear child, know him to be the same as Brahma, We, his servants are highly blessed in that we are ever devoted to the same Brahma endowed with a qualified form,

Of his own free will the lord descends on Earth for the sake of gods, earth, cow and Brahmans, spurning all the varieties of final beatitude the worshipers of His qualified form remain with him even on earth, Thus they discourse them in many ways,

Sampati heard them from his cave in the mountain, when he came out of it and saw a host of monkys, he said to himself, i have be starving for many days past and have never had a full meal, today god has supplied me with abundant food at a time, The monkeys trembled with fear to hear the vulture's words, our dream is now sealed, we are sure, 

Jambvant felt much perturbed at heart, Angada reflected within himself and Said, There is no more so blessed as Jatayu, who laid down his life in the service of Sri Rama, and ascended to the abode of Sri Hari, When Sampati heard it, stirred in him a mix feeling of joy and grief, he drew near to the monkeys, assuring them of safety he went and enquired them about his younger brother's obsequies, he glorified the Rama in many ways,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

she left for the forest of Badrikaban

Jai Sri Ram
She then said---go and drink water and partake of beautiful and luscious fruits of various kinds, they bathed and took some delicious fruits and all all came once more to her, she reated to them her own story from the beginning to the end and added---i will now go and see the lord Rama, close your eyes and you will find yourself outside the cavern,

You shall find Sita------you need not to remorse- the champions closed their eyes and looking again they found themselves standing on the sea-shore,

She on her part went to the Lord and drawing near him bowed her head at his Lotus Feet, she made supplication in diverse ways and the lord granted to her unceasing devotion, bowing to Lord's command she left for the forest of Badrikaban, Badrinath, cherished in her heart sri Rama's feet, that are adored by the unborn Brahma as well Shiva,

On this side of the sea, monkeys thoughts to themselves, the time limit fixed by Sugreeva has expired, yet nothing has been been Done, without obtaining any news about Sita what shall we gain by returning to Kishkinda either, Angada with eyes full of tears said, it is death for us both ways, again and again Angada told them all, our death has arrived, there is no doubt about it,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

austerity incarnate,

Jai sri Ram
Going further they saw a lovely garden, a lake with many full blown lotuses,

There stood a beautiful temple close by,

Where sat a woman who was austerity incarnate,

From a distance all bowed their head to her and in response to her enquiry told her all about themselves,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please
