The One Hundred and Nineteen Chapter
315
Thus, when Sri Rama had renounced the world, sixteen thousand monks and more, O King, became monks. ||41|| Twenty-seven thousand principal women became Aryikas, following the path of truth, under the guidance of the venerable Shramanis. ||42|| Then, having received the approval of his Guru, Padmabhini Grantha, alone, free from the duality of pleasure and pain, took to wandering. ||43|| He used to dwell at night in the deep caves of the mountains, which were frightening to those with restless minds, and where the sounds of wild animals were prevalent. ||44|| He, the holder of the supreme yoga and the follower of the right method, attained the knowledge of clairvoyance in that very night. ||45|| By that clairvoyance, he saw the entire world, as it is, as clearly as a pure crystal placed in the palm of the hand. ||46|| Then, by that clairvoyance, he knew where Lakshmana had gone in the previous birth, but his mind, having broken all bonds, did not fall into any kind of delusion. ||47|| He thought, "Look, he spent a hundred years as a prince, three hundred years as a king, and forty years in conquering the world. ||48|| He ruled for eleven thousand five hundred and sixty years. ||49|| And he, having enjoyed twelve thousand years, minus twenty-five, went down, not being satisfied with the pleasures." ||50|| There is no fault of the two gods in Lakshmana's death; in reality, his time had come, under the pretext of his brother's death. ||51|| My birth and his birth, along with that of Vasudatta and others, have been intertwined in many different ways, all due to the influence of delusion. ||52|| Thus, Padmamuni, the mountain of vows and conduct, and the holder of supreme patience, knew all that had happened. ||53|| He, endowed with the highest auspiciousness, profound, an ocean of virtues, magnanimous, and devoted to the attainment of liberation, was a true seeker of liberation. ||54|| I tell you all who have gathered here, O Shrenik! Rejoice in the path of righteousness, where the best of the Raghus, Sri Rama, is. ||55||
Many of those who had taken the vows of renunciation and had received initiation, again attained the state of a Charan. ||40||
Gautama Swami says, "O King! At that time, when Rama took the vows of renunciation, sixteen thousand monks and more became monks, and twenty-seven thousand principal women became Aryikas, following the path of truth, under the guidance of the venerable Shramanis." ||41-42||
