Sri Raghunandana ParabrahmaNe: namaha!

Srimathe: Ramanujayanamaha!!

 

Wife is referred as, ‘bahuru:pa’. She alone delivers kids of different forms –

so she is called ‘bahuru:pa’. “That Maari:cha and Suba:hu are not fit even to

stand in Sri Rama’s presence. None else than Raghava has the fortitude to kill

them. Those wicked sinners, swollen with the might of their vigour are sure to

be noosed by death. They are not a match to the Mahathma Rama.

 

It is natural for you to have love on your son. But you don’t have doubts due to

your love. I am taking the oath and saying this. It is certain for those

raakshasaas to die once they see Sri Rama.” Here Valmiki who has the divine

vision, is suggestively revealing that Rama is actually the Parabrahma who took

incarnation in a human form. “I know he is the ‘Mahaathma’. His truthfulness is

his valour. Even the great resplendent Vasishta knows this fact. The other

austere personalities seated in the assembly too know that Rama is a Mahaathma.

'Aham ve:dmi mahaathmaanam raamam sathyaparaakramam Vasishto:si mahaathe:jaah

Ye: che:me: thapasi

sthithaah||'”

 

He is stating, “I know.” In mentioning ‘I’ Viswamithra is pointing that

Dasaratha is regarding Rama only as his son and not recognizing him as Mahaathma

whereas he (Viswamithra) knows his magnificence. “I had acquired knowledge from

many gurus. You are only an ardent doer of your ‘karma’. I am a saathwik natured

thapaswi wearing matted hair and fiber cloth. You, being a king, are a raajasik

with a corrupted mind driven by emotions. I am performing an Ishti seeking

mo:ksha whereas you did an Ishti desiring sons. Dharma and Moksha are the things

important for me now. You regard artha and kaama (money and desire) as the major

things. So I could know the greatness of Sri Rama, which you could not

recognize. I am aware of Rama’s eternal glory.” This Sri Rama is the Parabrahma

as mentioned by Sruthi:

‘Ve:daahame:tham purusham mahaantham’.

 

To be contd…..

Jai Srimannarayana!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai,

Ramanujadasi.
