Dandavat Pranam
HpS - ASA -- And our Pranams to you and all the ISKCON Manipuri Bhakta Vrnda!
In the BRS Sloka 2:1:113 Translation – Another example from Stotraratna of Yamunacarya (60) – O Ramachandra, best of the Radhu [Raghu?] dynasty! You are so merciful to the crow which packed [pecked?] Sita’s breast, but which then offered respects to You. O Krsna, so forgetful of others sins! You gave attractive impersonal liberation to Sisupala who offended You for many lifetimes. Tell me what offense exists in him that You would not tolerate? …….. The reference to omitting offenses for many lives (pratibhavam) indicates tht Krsna is superior to Rama because Krsna liberated him.
* Footnote : Jayanta, son of Indra, took the form of a corw and packed ber breast, and Rama sent His arrows after the crow. The crow finally surrendered to Rama, and lost only his right eye.
Guruji! What is the underlying story mentioned above? Please let me know the story
HpS - I looked for the story in www.vedabase.com. There is nice Ramayana summary there by Krsna Dharma Das, but I didn't find the story. As I remember from ready many Ramanyanas Indra wanted to test Lord Rama to see if He was actually Bhagavan. So while Sita and Rama were lying, resting, side by side in the jungle, he took the form of a crow and then began to claw the breasts of Mother Janaki even drawing blood. This is so horrible, no? There can be no justification for this. Lord Rama saw this and then empowered a blade of grass and it flew after the crow to kill it. Indra flew away but could not escape but then came to Lord Rama bowing down and asking for forgiveness. Rama said that He would forgive him but after being invoked the Astra had to do some damage, so Indra sacrificed one eye.
I will go an participate ISKCON foundation day at Manimandir, Imphal which will be celebrated there on the 25th Dec. 2017.
Yours fallen servant
Yamunesvara Das
