The fate of Jatayu .
Sri Ramadevan evam thiranju nadakkumbol,
Therazhinju udanju veenu aakulam adaviyil,
Sasthra chapangalodum koodave kidakkunnathu,
Yehrayum maduthu kaanayithu madhye maargam.
Anneram soumithriyodu aruli cheythu Raman,
“:Bhinnamayoru Radham kanedo Kumara, nee,
THanwangitha thanne yoru Rakshasan kondu pombol,
Anya rakshasan avanodupor cheytheedinaan,
Anneram azhinja ther koppithaa kidakkunnu,
Yennu vannedaam avar konnaro bHakshicharo?
When God Rama was searching like
this,
In the forest he saw a dismembered and broken
chariot,
Along with weapons and bow and
arrows,
And this they could see near by in the middle of
their way.
Then Rama told
Lakshmana as follows,
“Lad please see a chariot which is
broken,
Possibly when one Rakshasa was taking pretty
Sita,
He must have fought with another
Rakshasa,
And the chariot which got broken then is
lying her
We do not know whether they killed or
ate her .”
Sri Raman yevam paranjithiri nadakkumbol,
Ghoramayoru roopam kanayi bhayanakam,
“Janaki thanne thinnu trupathanayoru Yathu,
Dhanan kidakkunathathra kandeelayo?
Kolluvan ivane jnan vaikathe banangalum,
Villum ingaasu thannedu, “yennathu
ketta neram,
Vithastha hrudayi Pakshi rajanum
chonnaan,
“Vadhyanalla aham , thava bhakthanayoru
dasan,
Mithra maithravum thava thannu viseshichum,
Smigdhanayiripporui pakshiyaam Jatayu jnan.”
After a walk of a little distance , after
telling this
They saw a horrible form lying there which was
fearful,
“Do you not see a Rakshasa who
is,
Lying there contended after eating Janaki?
I would kill him soon , give me my bows and
arrows.”
And when he heard this, that king of birds ,
Who was lying there became
scared and told,
“I am not a killer, I am a slave who is your devotee,
And I am specially a great
friend of your father,
And I am a friendly bird called Jatayu.”
Dushtanaam dasamukhan ninnude pathni thanne,
Kattu kondu aakase pokunneram arinju jnan,
Pettennu chennu thaduthavane yudham cheythu,
Muttichu therum villum pottichu kalanjappol,

Indira deviyodu varavum vaangi konden,
THrukkan, parkkanam , yenne krupayaa,krupanide,
Thrukkazhalina nithya mul kaambil vasikkenam.
When the bad Ravana was taking away your wife,
Through the sky , I became
aware of it,
Immediately I went and stopped him and fought
with him,
When I dashed his chariot
and broke his bow,
He cut me by his sword called Chandrahasa ,
And I fell down on the earth with great pain,
And I got a boon from that Goddess
Lakshmi,
That I should not die till I meet
with you
Oh treasure of mercy please see me,
And let your holy feet live in mind forever.
Itharam Jatayu than vakkukal kettu nadhan,
Chitha karunyam poondu chennu aduthiumnnu than,
Trikaikal konduthaalodinaan avan udal,
Dukhasruplutha nayana thodum Ramachandran,
“Chollu chollaho mama Vallabha vruthantham

Yellam” , yennathu kettu chollinaan
Jatayuvum,
“Raksho nayakanakiya Ravanan devi thanne,
Dakshina disi kondu poyaan yennarinjaalum,
Cholluvanilla sakthi marana peedayaale,
Nallathu varuvathinnai anugrahikkanam.”
That Lord hearing these types word from
Jatayu,
With mind filled with mercy sat near him,
And patted all over his body with his holy
hands,
And Ramachandra with tear filled eyes
due to his sorrow,
Told,” Please tell the entire
story of my wife”
And hearing this Jatayu told,
“The Lord of Rakshasas Ravana
took the lady,
To the southern direction , please know that.
I do not have strength to tell due to the death
struggle,
And Please bless me so
that good will come to me.”
“Ninthiruvadi thanne kandu kandirikkave
,
Bandamatheedum vannam marippan avakasam,
Vannathu bhaval krupa pathramakayal aham,
Punya Purusha , Purushothama, Dhaya nidhe ,

Bandhuka kusuma samatha kkara thalam thannal,
Bandhu vathsala , mandham thottu arulenam

Ninthirumalradiyodu chernnidaamallo .
When you are seeing me , I
got ,
The good chance of cutting off all
attachments and dying,
And this chance came to me because of my
being,
Able to get your grace , Oh holy person , Oh best among
men,
Oh treasure of mercy, You are the real Maha
Vishnu,
The divine joyful soul , divine soul , A man because of
illusion,
And you should always live inside me,
And your body is dark black and attractive
every second,
And because I was able to see you
at the time of my death,
I would cut off all attachments and would
definitely attain salvation.
You who have made me your slave with love from
a friend,
Please use your hands which are
like the flowers of Bandhuka*,
Oh lover of friends , slowly touch and
pat me , so that ,
I would be able to join your lotus like feet.
*Anthimalari poo in Malayalam, noon flower in English.
Indirapathiyathu kettudan thaalodinaan,
Mandam mandam poornathmanandam vaneedum vannam,
Anneram pranangale thyajichu jatayuvum,
Mannidam thannil veena neathu Raghu varan,
Kannu neer varthu bhaktha vathsalya paravasaal,
Arnojanethran pithru mithramaam paksheendrane
,
Uthamangathe yeduthu uthsanga seemni cherthittu,
Uthara karyarhamai sodaranodu
chonnan.
The husband of Lakshmi hearing that , patted
him,
Slowly and slowly so that he will get full
divine joy of the soul,
And at that time Jatayu breathed his
last,
And he fell on the earth,
that blessing of Raghu clan,
Shed tears and becoming emotional due to love of
his devotee,
That lotus eyed one took the head of
the king of birds,
Who was a friend of his father and kept it on his lap,
And told his brother for the sake of after
death rites.
“Kashtangal kondu vannu nalloru chitha theerthu,
Kootanam agni samskarathinnu vaikeedathe,”
Lakshmanan athu kettu chithayum theertheedinaan,’
Thalkshanam kulichu samskaravum cheythu, pinne,
Snanavum kazhichu udaka kriyadhiyum cheythu,
Kanane thathra mrugam vadhichu,mamasa khandam,’
Pullinmel vechu jaladhikalum nalgeedinaan,
Nalloru gathi yavanundaavan pithrarthmai.
“You have to make a good funeral pyre using
fallen wood,
Without delay for the ritual of cremation by fire.”
Without delay for the ritual of cremation by fire.”
Hearing that Lakshmana built a funeral
pyre,
Immediately after taking bath , Rama
completed,
The cremation , again took bath, finished,
The rituals associated with cremation,
Then killed a deer in the forest and offered,
A piece of its meat and water kept on the grass,
And prayed that he should get a blessed life
as mane.

Let all birds eat all this offerings and be
happy,
Let the king of birds be satisfied because of that,
And that body of mercy , the lotus eyed one , enemy of
Madhu,
Told that Please attain salvation.
At that time Jatayu appeared like shining
like sun, and ,
Having a divine form, , riding on a air plane,
And taking a form with conch, wheel mace and lotus
flower,
And dressed in the yellow silk, being worshipped,
By the servants of Lord
Vishnu , being praised by sages,
And with a great shine which spread in all
directions
And with ready body , he raised
his hands and saluted Rama ,
And with great devotion
prayed to him.

Bhakthanayullavannu vannedum mathsarupyam,
Paksheendraa , ninne polae mal parayananayal.

happy,
And sweetly told that king of birds,
“Let good happen to you, please go safely to land
of Vishnu,
He who writes , reads and
hears this prayer,
If he is devoted , he would come to my presence,
Oh king of birds, If he has great devotion
like you.

The great bird who heard these
words of Rama,
It seems became one with Vishnu ,
He also attained the state where Brahma worshipped
his feet,
Like any other person telling the pure name of Rama.
The way o death world of Khadamba,
Pinne Sri Raman Sumithrathmajanodum koodi,
Khinnamai vanantharam paraoichu dukhathodum,

SAnna dairyena vana maarge sanchatrikkumbol,
Raksho roopathe kondoru sathwathe kanai vannu,
Thal kshanamevam Ramachandranum arul cheythaan,
Afterwards Rama along with the son of
Sumithra,
With sorrow reached inside the forest , and
Enquired in all directions but not finding Sita,
With diminished courage , when they
were travelling in the forest ,
They saw a huge being
who had the form of a Rakshasa,
And then immediately Rama
told,
“Vakshasi vadanavum , yojana bahukkalum,
Chakshuradhikalum illendoru
sathwamidham?
Lakshmana, Kandaayo nee , kandolam bhayamundam,
Bhakshikkum ippol ivan , nammeyannarinjalum,

“He has face on the chest , and hands a
yojana (two miles) long,
He does not have eyes and other organs,
what type of being is this?
Lakshmana , did you see, As we see there is lot of
fear,
He will now eat , both of us,
know about this.
He is neither a bird nor animal , wonder of
wonders,
He has face on the chest , he does not have legs or
head ,
Before this being eats us both ,
I am not finding a way to save ourselves,
As we are both in the middle of his
hands, Oh lad,
Whatever that Brahma thinks, that will happen
.”
Raghavanevam paranjeedinoranantharam,
Aakula makannoru Lakshmanan ura cheythaan,
“Porum vyakula bhavam yendini vicharippan,

Adbutha karanmaaraam ningal aaririuvarum,
SAlpurishannarennukalpicheeduneen jnanum,
Ghora kanana pradesathingalvaruvaanum,
After Rama told like this ,
Without any worry Lakshmana told ,
“What is the need for worry like this ,
Let each of us cut one hand
each of his ,”
And immediately Rama cut his right
hand,
And Lakshmana cut his
left hand,
That valorous Rakshasa became wonderstuck,
And with fear asked
Rama and Lakshmana ,
“Before this , there was no one in the
world,
Strong enough to cut my hands,
Who are you two who are wonderful people,
I assume that you both
are very good people,
What is the reason for coming in this forest ,
Be pleased to tell me the truth.
Itharam Khabanda vakhyangal kettoru puru-,’
Shothaman chirichu udan utharam aruli cheuthu,
“Keattalum Dasaratha nama ayodhyathipathi,

“Ninthiruvadi thane Sri Rama devan yengil,

After hearing these words of Khabanda,
That best among men smiled and immediately
answered,
“Hear , I am the eldest son of Dasaratha, the king
of Ayodhya,
My name is Rama,he is my brother and his name
is Lakshmana,
There is one lady called Sita, who is my wife,
We had both gone to hunt and at that time,
A great magician, a rakshasa stole her away,
And when we were searching for her in forests after
foress,
We saw you, and with great and horrifying
speed,
WE came in between your hands,
And for saving our lives, I cut your hands,
Who are you who has a very horrifying form,
Please tell directly” and when Rama asked like this ,
Kabhandha replied with a very pleased soul,
“If you are indeed Sri Rama,
I have become blessed and if you are,
In front of me I have been lucky to see you.”
Divyanai iripporu gandarwan aham roopa-,

I am a holy and divine Gandharwa, and becoming,
Proud of my beauty and youth, when I was travelling,
Stealing the courage of pretty women,
And when I was pretty and playfully walking,
I saw Ashta vakra and made fun of him,
And that sage became very angry and
cursed me,
“Let you become a Rakshasa,”
And later when he got calmed down,
He gave me a blessing to end my curse.
“The real God Narayana who can grant salvation,
In the Tretha age would be born to Dasaratha,
And when he cuts away your hands,
You would be able to get rid
of this curse.”
THapasa sapam kondu rakshasanayoru jnan,

When I who have become a Rakshasa due to the curse
of a sage,
Was walking with pain one day , the Devendra
One day rushed towards me with anger,
And he cut off my head with the Vajrayudha,
But my death did not come due to Vajrayudha,
Due to a boon given to me by Brahma.

Due to the fact that I cannot be killed ,
For carrying out my activities to live , Devendra,
Made my head in to my stomach,
And after my head and legs were transferred to my belly,
And after my head and legs were transferred to my belly,
He also extended my hands to two miles distance,
For satisfying my hunger , as per orders of
Indra,
I eat whatever food that I get within
the reach of my hands,
Oh better than the best , Oh Lord of Raghu clan, Oh
treasure of mercy,
If you light a fire and burn my body in it,
I would tell you the method to search for
your wife.”

Lakhsmana dug the earth, put fuel in
it,
And lit the fire in it and when body
of,
Kabanda was burnt in it , from that body,
Rose a divine form which was similar to god of
love,
Wearing all sorts of ornaments and he,
With devotion went round Sri Rama and
With devotion saluted him by falling on the floor,
Three hundred times , saluted him again by
hands ,
And that honorable Gandarwa became very
happy,
And started praying him using very pretty
words.
Prayer of Kabanda
Ninthiruvadiyude thathwam mithoruvarkkum,’
Chinthichal arinju koodavathennakilum,’
Ninthiruvadi thanne sthuthippan thonnedunnu,
SAnthathamandathwam kondu yenthoru maha moham,
Anthavum aadhiyum illathoru para brahmam,
Antharathmani thelinju unarnnu vasikkanam,
Bandhavamathu moksha prapthi yum arulanam.
Though I am the one who does not know,
Your philosophy in spite of my thinking,
I feel like praying your honourable
self,
What a wish due to permanent blindness?
You are the divine brahmam without beginning or end,
And we have to realize it in our soul
and live,
The darkness should go away joy
should rise up,
And after detachment, you should grant me salvation.
Avyaktha mathi sookshmamaayoru bhavadroopam,
Suvyaktha bhavena deha dwaya

Dhyugrupam eka manyath sakalam drusyam jadam,
Durgrahyam anathmakam aakayaal ajnanikal,
Yengine yariyunnumanasa vyathiriktham ,
Mangeedathoru paramathmanam brahmanandam.
Not clear , extremely difficult to see is your form,
And when it is seen in a clear form different from
the corpus and micro forms,
As a form of wisdom which is one, you realise all other forms
are without soul,
Since it is difficult to see and is the not the
soul,
How can the ignorant people understand it as some
thing different from mind,
And realize that the divine joy is one which never
fades
Budhyathma aabhasangalkku ulle ikyamayathu jeevan,
Budhyadhi sakshi bhootham brahmam yennathu nonnam,
Nirvikara brahmani nikhilathmani nithye,
NIrvishayakhye lokam ajnana moha vasaal ,
AAropikka pettoru thaijasam sookshma deham,
Hairanyam athu virat purushan athi sthoolam,
Bhavanaa vishayamayonnathu yogeendraanaam,
Kevalam thathra kanaayidunnu jagathellam.
The soul is the mixture of brain and
the feeling of the soul
And the divine power is only a witness to the
activities of brain,
And the Brahmam without any sensations , which has
filled the entire world,
Is thought as the subject less
world by the ignorant due to illusion,
But that insinuated shine of the
micro body is nothing but the Hiranya Garbha ,
And that is the macro man
which is extremely huge,
And this has become the
matter of thought to the great yogis,
For within it any one can
see all the universe.

Whether it is past , present or future,
Great sages are able to see it all as a
part of the macro entity ,
Of the Brahmnda Kosa of the
Virat Purusha .
The fourteen worlds are a part of
him who is occupying every where,
And are the body parts of the famous

The Patala is the underneath of the feet, Mahatala

Oh Lord your ankle is the Rasathala,

Your forehead is the Tapoloka and above that

Which is your head, Oh greatest

Rudra,
All your words are meters, teeth are Yama
the god of death,
The rows of stars are your row of teeth,
Your smile is the great Maya(illusion)
that attracts ,
Creation which is your habit is your
invitation by the corner of the eye

Dharma is your front side and Adharma
is your back side ,
Enthusiasm and depression are
days and nights to you,
The seven seas are the
parts of your abdomen,
All the rivers are your nerves,
mountains are your bones,
Trees and medicinal herbs are the
hairs of your body,
Lord Shiva is your heart, The
success is your semen,
Oh great king , the simple power
of divine wisdom,
Is the macro form of yours
which is called Virat Purusha,
And he who daily meditates you in the
morning will get salvation,
For there is no other thing in the
world except you,
And I always think of this form of
yours and salute it,
Let the form of yours which
is more important ,
Than this should always appear before
me.

Who has Saintly form , and is consort of earth , having a form of peace ,

The all knowing one , the great god , Lord Shiva ,
the Mahadeva,
Sarva, the non decaying one along
with Goddess Parvathi,
Meditating on your name is living in
Benares,
And always living there , they daily
tell for the sake of salvation,
To those people who
are interested in salvation,
The THaraka manthra of “Rama, Rama” so
that they will know ,
The essence Of God as a result of that
teaching ,
And that Lord Shiva lives

You are the divine soul and the greatest god,
And Lord Shiva knowing this does this,
How can fools understand your principle,
For it is covered by the darkness of
great illusion,
Salutation and salutation to great god and
Ramabhadra,
Salutation and salutation to Ramachandra , the
witness of the world,
Please save me lord of universe , Please save me treasure

Let your goddess of great
illusion does not bewilder me ,
Oh God with lotus like eyes , My salutations always
to you.

To the Gandharwa who told like this and
prayed to him,
That God who was a man with good
qualities told,
“By your prayer and great devotion I have
become happy ,
Oh great Gandharwa, Please attain my
world,
Which is a primeval position where
great yogis want to go,
And go there with great joy due to
my grace ,
Not only that I also want to bless
again,
Those devotees
who are going to chant this prayer,
That without any doubt they will
get salvation,
And to you my devotee, there is no downward trend.”

After getting such a boon that great
Gandharwa,
And after saluting told like this with aim to bring
auspiciousness,
“ In front of you in the forest is the
hermitage of Matanga,
There now lives Sabari who is
a lady sage ,
And she is pure, due to great
devotion to your lotus feet,
And she spends all her time thinking about you and has
got rid of attachments,
If you go and see her she will tell you
the story,
Which will lead to the finding of
Sita Devi.”
Entering in to hermitage of Sabari.

After the disappearance of Gandharwa after
this talk,
Rama and Lakshmana were
pleased ,
Went through the very thick horrifying forest
slowly,
And entered the very pretty hermitage of
Sabari,
That lady saint who was a devotee got up with
excitement,
And washed both the lotus feet of
Rama,
And with eyes full of tears of
joy , she,
Offered seat , water for drinking and
washing,
And gave him fruits and roots for
his food.

Pinne poi Brahma padam prapichar avargalum.
After accepting the worship , very happily,
Those lotus eyed ones who
were the sons of the king,
And they were saluted with devotion and
she told,
“Due to my past good deeds I am indeed blessed
today,
The great saints who were my
teachers ,
Lived for thousand years worshipping
you,
And at that time I was
nursing them with care ,
And later they reached the world
of Brahma.”

They told me, “Do not ever feel sorry,
Blessed one , you continue to
live here daily,
The divine one who sleeps on a snake ,
The great male , the divine soul,
Has taken an incarnation to kill
the Rakshasas,
Now to take care of us as
well as the Dharma,
And that pure one has come to
Chithrakoota,
That Rama would come here and you ,
Breath your last after
seeing him.
If you do so you will also get salvation definitely
.”
It has exactly happened that way , For the words of
Guru are the truth.
Ninthiruvadiyude varavum parthu parthu,

Waiting and waiting for your arrival,
I was living here meditating always on you,
Even for the great sages who were my
gurus,
There was no chance to
see your feet and salute it.
I am an ignorant fool , born in a very low
caste ,
And I am sure I do not
merit this .
Vang mano vishayamallathoru bhavadrupam,
Kanmaan avakasam vannathu maha bhagyam,
Trikkalina koopi sthuthichukolvanum,
Yingul kamalathinnu ariyappoga , Dhayanidhe.
Your form is not the subject of words and
mind ,
And my being able to see it is
due to great luck,
Oh treasure of mercy , this lowly mind ,
Does not even know how to salute your holy feet.
Raghuvaran athu kettu sabariyodu chonnan,

Hearing that Sri Rama told
Sabari,
“Without sorrow, please hear what I say,
It is not either man or woman nor the
state of life,
That is the reason for praying to me in the
three worlds,
Except for devotion , there is no other reason for
it,
And for getting salvation also there is no other
way,
Acts such as bathing in sacred waters,
penance , charity or learning of Vedas
Or temples , starving , fire
sacrifices and such acts,
Would not make any one able to see me,
Except devotion to me , except which there are no
methods.

I will tell you in brief the material
path of devotion,
Oh holy one , please hear , for getting salvation,
The most important thing is company of good
people,
The second thing is telling and
hearing of my story,
Third one is singing of good qualities and
the fourth ,
In interpretation of my words , the fifth one is,
Serving the great teachers who are born
out of me,
The sixth one is doing good deeds and worshipping
,
Me without break following all rituals and
methods,
Seventh is practicing my chant and eighth,
Oh lady of auspicious character , you have to hear
and understand,
Is to see me in everything and having
great respect to my devotees,
And also detachment and understanding that
all souls are myself,
And ninth is thinking about
my philosophy oh lady,’
And basis of having a pure mind is the faith in
primeval god.
Ukthamayithu bhakthi sadanam , nava vidham,

This is the proper methods of devotion, nine in number
Oh good one , If we think who has
devotion daily,
Whether it is for birds and animals
or foolish,
Ladies or men , when the real devotion
comes to them,
Oh Lady , they would start understanding my
philosophy,
And once they become an expert in this
, they will get salvation,
Oh great lady of penance , among these man is
blessed ,
And so the reason for
salvation is definitely devotion,
Oh Devoted lady who is dear to the gods
and sages.

Due to your devotion you were able to see me ,
And oh lady sage , your salvation also
is very near ,
If you know , the path that Sita
has taken, please tell me,
Who has taken the very pretty
Sita who is dear to me ?
Sabari after hearing the words of
Rama,.
Told as follows so that their worry would be
lessened,
“Your glorious self knows
everything as you are know all,
And in spite of that for satisfying the
world you are asking me ,
Since you have asked , I have to tell.
Sita is living with
great sorrow in Lanka ,
And please know that she has been taken
there by the ten necked one,
And I have seen the daughter of the lotus by
my divine sight ,
Suppose you travel to some distance slightly
to the south,
You would be able to see the Pamba lake
and in front of it,
You would be able to see the Rishya mooka
mountains,
And there lives a monkey noble called
Sugreeva,
Along with his four ministers. He is the son
of the Sun,
And he is living there being
scared of Bali,
For Bali cannot go there being afraid of a
sage’s curse,
As time progresses , you please kill
him.

You enter into a treaty with Sugreeva
, and if you do,
All your sorrows will get over and your job
will succeed.
And so let me enter in to the fire and
merge with,
Your lotus like feet and this is beginning,
Please wait for a little time and by
that time,
I have to cut off this tie which
is an illusion, Oh treasure of mercy,
And saying like this with devotion, she gave up her
body,
And at that time Sabari got
salvation.

If that God who loves his devotes showers his grace
,
Salvation would reach every one , though they belong to a
low caste .
If the lotus eyed one is happy with any
being,
There is nothing which is
difficult to achieve for them,
Salvation can be got through devotion to Rama,
Daily serve the holy lotus like feet of Rama,
Throw away the rituals using mantra, tantra and
dhyana,
And following the teaching of the Guru daily ,
Meditate on Rama and always chant the name of Rama,
Hear and tell the stories of Rama ,
Worship the devotees of Rama ,
And when we know that all over the world only
Rama is there,
You can get merged with
Rama,
So always chant “Rama, Rama”,
Oh pretty woman, oh gentle lady , Oh Parvathi , oh lotus
eyed one.

Like this when Lord Shiva told the story of
Rama ,
To Parvathi , Parvathi became completely
ruled by devotion to Rama,
And fixed her mind there and merged with the
devotion,
And the parrot also became
greatly joyous ,
And told , “Let there be victory to lord Shiva,”
Ithi Adhyathma Ramayane Uma Maheswara samvadhe ,
Aaranya Kandam samaptham.
Thus ends the chapter on forests
which occurs amidst,
The discussion between Shiva and Parvathi ,
Which occurs in Adyathma
Ramayana.
