“भगवान श्री राम की प्रिया एवं श्री राम के हीं समान सुन्दर रूप, उज्जवल गुण, अनंत ऐश्वर्य एवं कोमल माधुर्य स्वभाव आदि जो समय की सीमा से परे हैं, ऐसे तत्वों की प्रचुरता के कारण अनंत कल्याण और गुणों की खान श्री सीता जी हैं, वे अष्टकमल-दलों के बीच में श्री राम के साथ रहने वाली श्री देवी हैं, उनके मुख कमल के समान हैं, उनकी बड़ी-बड़ी मृग-नयनी आँखे कमल की पंखुड़ी के तरह हैं । उत्पत्ति और विनाश से परे नित्यस्वरुपा हैं; सदा-सुखमयी हैं, ऐसी पुण्यमयी भगवती हैं । श्री राम के साकेत-लोक (वैकुण्ठ-लोक) की महारानी हैं, तीनों लोकों की माता हैं तथा जिनका कोई सहारा नहीं है उन्हें भी अपने शरण में रखने वाली सीता हैं । मेरा दूसरा कोई अन्य सहारा नहीं है, इसलिए मैं अशरण को भी शरण देने वाली श्री सीता जी के शरण में जाता हूँ । ”
“The dearest consort of Bhagavān Śrī Rāma, Śrī Sītā Jī, is verily equal to Śrī Rāma in every way in her own beauty-elegance-&-charm (Madhurya), and infinite Aishwarya (powers and opulence to create-sustain-maintain-rule-and-destroy cosmos), She is the abode of innumerable benevolent and auspicious qualities and virtues such as most gracious, merciful, compassionate, innately pure in disposition and conduct etc. (kalyāṇa-guṇa-gaṇāṃ). She lives (disports) with Śrī Rāma in the center of eight(8)-petaled lotus (represent supreme abode Nitya-ayodhyā Śrī Sāketa-Loka) amidst the forest of lotus flowers (each lotus flower represent different Vaikuntha), her countenance is like lotus, and her big-comely-eyes like a deer are akin to the petals of lotus. She is beyond the origin and destruction, She is eternal and always blissful, the pure and the unsullied, such is she! She is the divine crowned queen of Śrī Rāma (, She is the queen of Sāket-Loka of Śrī Rāma), She is the divine-mother of entire universe. They who have no refuge in entire world, still to even such souls she provides her refuge (shelter), and therefore, I, who have no other refuge, seek her shelter only, I surrender to such Sītā Jī!” |
|
| This is śaraṇāgati-ślōka composed by Bhagavad Rāmānanda, one should surrender to Śrī Sītā Jī in first. They who are interested in serving divine couple Bhagavān Śrī Śrī SītāRāma, they should approach Śrī Rāma through Śrī Sītā Jī, hence (śaraṇāgati-ślōka of) Śrī Sītā Jī is remembered in first. Thereafter one should ask permission from divine couple to (be present and) accept their Puja. | |
