SUMMARY: Lord Sri Hari incarnated as Srirama, son of Emperor Dasharatha, in Ayodhya. He, along with his brother Lakshmana, was taken by Vishwamitra to Siddhashrama. Srirama secured two hymns called Balaa and Atibalaa, which were presented by Sage Vishwamitra. Srirama killed TaTaka, female demon. He (Srirama) received Brahmastra and other Astras from Vishwamitra and protected the sacrifice performed by Vishwamitra. He cleared the curse that Gautama Muni had slapped on AhalyA. He broke the bow of Lord Rudra in Mithila and married Seetha Devi. May Lord Srirama be pleased with us!

SUMMARY: He (Srirama) began his return journey from Mithila to Ayodhya, along with his brothers. On the way, he lifted the bow that Parashurama was holding. He killed demon Atula, who was in the belly of Parashurama. Came to Ayodhya. Dasharatha inquired with Vasishtha and other sages about the qualities of Srirama. All of them said that Srirama was without any flaw, fallacy; was an epitome of all good qualities and was an integral part of all beings. Dasharatha decided to perform the coronation of Srirama. All the subjects of Ayodhya profoundly praised Srirama. May Srirama get worshipped from my words too.

SUMMARY: The disciples, who were anxious to see their Guru/Master could only see the sprawling shores of the Ganga as Sri Madhwaru could be seen with the bright light that was sparkling on his face now and then and was surrounded by groups of people and pandits showering questions on him, incessantly.

The word “Janata” means people in this context.

SUMMARY: The disciples saw Sri Madhwaru, who was outstanding among those knowing the meaning of Vedas, who could comment, elaborate, epitomize and establish his interpretation of Vedas with special citations and references and sparkling like four-faced (Chaturmukha) Brahma in the assemblage of deities or divine assemblage.

It has been mentioned in different holy texts that Lord Vayu will succeed the present Brahma after the expiry of the current Brahma Kalpa and that is why Sri Madhwaru has been likened in this stanza to Lord Brahma.

Initially, the disciples were worried after the disappearance of Sri Madhwaru, who had actually walked across the river. At the behest of Sri Madhwaru, the king arranged to bring the disciples of Sri Madhwaru from the opposite banks to the other side in boats. The disciples were still anxious to see their Guru. But, they saw Sri Madhwaru giving a discourse and replying to questions posed by a large cluster of Pandits.

SUMMARY: Later, Sri Madhwacharyaru reached Hastinapura and stayed there in a tranquil Mutt, a little far away from the Ganga, remembering the various qualities of Vishnu, who is also known as Ananta (infinite), to observe the Chatrumasa Vrat (four months with restrictions on the cusine, as prescribed in the Shastras).

In his previous incarnation as Bheemasena, he was the prince of Hastinapura for thirty-six years and as the unquestioned Emperor of Vedas and Scriptures in his present incarnations as Sri Madhwaru, he stayed in this holy place for four months to obersve the Chaturmasa Vrat.

The mentioning of a Mutt having existed in Hastinapura is not only interesting but also warrants some research to know about the existence of the ancient Mutt.

SUMMARY: Like the cord that passes through the beads, Lord Sri Hari, who is the addressee of the paradigm, happily stays in animate and inanimate objects, every day, and roams about in this universe. He never gets tired. Being very kind, always, he exists in all the infinite and innumerable beings and objects in different forms and monitors them.

In Gita, Lord Krishna avers:

“Mayi sarvamidam prOtam sUtrE maNigaNA iva”

“मयि सर्वमिदम् प्रॊतं सूत्रॆ मणिगणा इव”

What is baffling is that Lord Hari is never tired. He is always vibrant, spirited and active.

Smruti puts it across thus:

SUMMARY: There are differences among living beings; there are differences among inanimate or non-living objects and there are differences between living and non-living or inanimate beings; however, being entirely different from animate and inanimate things, Sri Hari, the husband of Sri Lakshmi Devi, is altogether a different phenomenon. Sri Lakshmi Devi remains in this universe by being different from animate and inanimate things as well as different from Sri Hari. Further, Sri Hari stays above her. Submit prayers unto both with the clear knowledge that there is no similarity or even beings in this universe.

In all there are five discriminate things in this universe. However, Sri Hari is always indiscriminate. He does not differentiate at all. For him, all are equal, eternally. The word ‘equality\ has a deeper sense. Another significant fact is that Sri Lakshmi is different from all animate and inanimate things. She is also different from Sri Hari because no one is remotely equal to Sri Hari in this universe and not even Sri Lakshmi is equal to him. However, she is above all animate and inanimate things; she is above all deities and she is only next to Sri Hari. Everyone should pray her with this knowledge and awareness.

SUMMARY: Deities equal to Goddess Saraswati, the consort of Lord Brahma, who are integral with Vedas, know more qualities of Sri Hari, compared to other deities. Qualities of Sri Hari that are beyond the perception of these deities (Saraswati and others) are known to Lord Brahma. Qualities that are beyond the apprehension of Brahma are known to Goddess Mahalakshmi. Therefore, Sri Hari alone is the Supreme Lord. He is the embodiment of infinite qualities of kindness, magnanimity and so on and everyone should be aware that he is the Supreme Lord and deserves to be worshipped with this special awareness.

“Aaditeyaru” means children of Aditi or the deities.

SUMMARY: Created by monkeys, the assistants of Srirama, who was accustomed to vanquish the enemies, the Bridge appears like the outstretched long arm of Mother Earth, who wanted to help her son-in-law Srirama in taking her daughter Seetha Devi back to Ayodhya, lying in the seawater; it (bridge) is shining like mountains on Earth that are helping Srirama, who was destined to kill the demons and reduce the weight on Earth.

This stanza conveys several messages in a nutshell — the monkeys wanted to serve Srirama by assisting him in destroying the demons. The remnants of the long bridge, presently lying sparsely under the seawater, appear like the arm of Mother Earth stretching for a long distance. Since Seetha Devi was ‘found’ on the track created by the plough that King Janaka was working with on a piece of land where he wanted to perform a sacrifice, she is popularly known as a daughter of Mother Earth. The reason for Mother Earth stretching her arm on or under the sea was that she wanted to help Srirama, her son-in-law, in getting her daughter Seetha Devi, in taking his wife back to Ayodhya. This means that Mother Earth was already aware that her son-in-law would kill Ravana and his friends and relatives and would return to Ayodhya along with Seetha Devi. In a way, this stanza explains the entire Yuddha Kanda.

SUMMARY: Oreo is a type of stone on which the gold is rubbed to ascertain the purity of gold and assess the value. Similarly, Seethapati Srirama has attracted lot of praise from people for his valor, which is like gold and the bridge is like that Oreo to rub the golden valor of Srirama and value it and to instill faith in human minds in the bravery of Srirama. Ultimately, the people would conclude that the bravery of Srirama is incomparable and quite sublime.

Sri Raghavendra Swamy Virachita SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI (ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ”) CONCLUSION

Sri Raghavendra Swamy Virachita

SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI

(ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ”) CONCLUSION

The Mula Ramayana comprises of one hundred crore Shlokas, according to various evidences and scriptures. However, none has come across this mammoth work so far. In this work of late Sri P.P. Lakshminarayana Upadhyaya, compiled by Mahamahopadhyaya Panditakesari Raja S Girijacharyaru and published by Sri Gurusarvabhauma Samshodhanamandira, Mantralaya, an attempt has been made to include some of the ‘relatively unknown’ details about Sri Ramavatara, drawn from Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya of Sri Madhwacharyaru and Sangraharamayana of Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru. These details help better understanding of Sri Valmeeki Ramayana that consists of 24,000 shlokas. Sri Valmeeki might not have included some of the details for luring the demons. It must be kept in mind that Sri Valmeeki was a contemporary of Srirama and he was a witness to what transpired during Ramavatara.

The humanity should remain grateful to Sri Raghavendra Swamigalu for providing the eleven-shloka ready-to-chant, easy-to-memorise “Sri Ramacharitryamanjari”, which can be chanted every day and secure the grace of Lord Rama as much as chanting the entire Ramayana every day. There is no exaggeration in this point. As can be conceived, the eleven shlokas are so pregnant with meaning that they cover all important aspects of Sri Ramayana. What Sri Lakshminarayanacharyaru has done in this work is elaboration of the hidden meaning. In fact, the author declares that “Sri Ramacharitryamanjari” is more elaborate than what has been provided in this work.

I have tried my best with my limited vocabulary to translate this sacred work into English with the sole idea that people unable to understand Sanskrit and/or Kannada should also know what a treasure is hidden in this tiny “Sri Ramacharitryamanjari” of Sri Raghavendra Yatigalu. Any errors and omissions may please be condoled.

OM SRI RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA!! SRI KRISHNARPANAMASTU.

In the next episode I will provide all the eleven Shlokas together in Kannada, English and Sanskrit.

SUMMARY: At that moment, the pupils did not try to remember Hanumantha, who had lept across the ocean or Bheemasena, who was swimming through the Ganga for fun during his childhood; otherwise, they would not have suspected any threat for him (Sri Madhwaru), when he was walking across the Ganga, because he was an incarnation of Lord Vayu.

When Sri Madhwaru walked across the river as though he was walking on a plain surface, his pupils were anxious. Their anxiety was perhaps due to their ignorance that Sri Madhwaru was an incarnation of Lord Vayu or they were unaware of his previous two incarnations as Hanuma and Bheema.

SUMMARY: With the Sun bound by the rays that are like the light for the universe and Sri Madhwaru, who was delivering such words that were like the light of enlightenment for the universe, not visible to their eyes, the lotus eyes of those pupils as well as the lotus in the pond turned pale and lifeless.

The pupils became very much worried as the Sun was setting quickly and the light was fading on the one hand and on the other, they were unable to see their Master Sri Madhwacharyaru.

The Lotus faded due to Sun set and the lotus-like eyes of the pupils lost the sparkle and faded for not being able to see Sri Madhwaru.

SUMMARY: Most efficient Sri Madhwacharyaru crossed the Ganga like Lord Garuda crosses the Goshpada (the footprint space of a cow), without even his clothes getting wet, and got saluted and honored by the King and Brahmins, who were a little flaberghasted.

Sri Madhwacharyaru, who started off on the side of the river where the pupils were standing and appeared on the other side, where the King, warriors and Brahmins were standing in utter bewilderment.

The word “AnArdravastra” means “with clothes not getting wet”.

SUMMARY: Later, Sri Madhwacharyaru got his pupils cross the river by the boats the boatsmen were sent with by the King, even as the river had turned boatless due to the threat of enemies the king was in the grip of and had withdrawn the boats as a precautionary measure.

After crossing the river, Sri Madhwaru ordered the king to send boats to ferry his pupils and the king obeyed Sri Madhwaru after witnessing his mystic powers.
