Aranya Kaanda
112 - Sita's meeting with Anasuya (Atriís wife) and the latter's discourse on the duties of a devoted wife
Chhands
Description
Thrilling all over with excess love, the sage rivetted his eyes on the Lord's lotus face. He thought to himself,"What prayers did I mutter and what austerity did I perform that I was enabled to behold with my own eyes the Lord who is beyond all knowledge and transcends the three Gunas as well as the senses and mind. It is through Japa (muttering of prayers). Yoga (concentration of mind) and a host of religious observances that man acquires devotion, which is incomparable ( as a means of God-Realization). So does Tulasidasa sing the all-holy exploits of Sri Rama (the Hero of Raghu's line) day and night.
