Mmgl Part 009-001 - Seen The Seat - Known The Birth Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

(Manimegalai worshiped the deity's feet.
Through the deity she came to know of
her previous birth. She was eager to know
about her husband in the previous birth
from the deity.)

WORSHIP AND REALIZATION

Manimegalai saw Buddha's seat.
With reverence she worshiped his feet.
Tears flowed in both her eyes.
She walked around the seat thrice.

Then she prostrated before him.
When she got up, at the time,
In the previous birth who she was,
As a vision it came to pass.

BRAHMA DHARMAN

Manimegalai spoke:

"Oh Madhava, the All-knower,
You told us once whatever
At Kayangarai, they're true.
This I realize now from you."

"Athipathi, king of City Puruvadeyam,
Which fell under the Country Kandharam,
He ruled with justice, praised by everyone.
His wife's brother was Brahma Dharman "

DESTRUCTION OF NAGAS ISLAND

"You're the Chief to mention
To the king on the destruction
Of Nagas Island in seven days,
As an earthquake was on the way."

"You only foretold this
So, none would miss
From this ill fated island,
That was to sink underground."

DEPARTURE TO AVANTHI

"This news the king announced,
Then every being was evacuated,
Thus a great disaster was avoided.
Towards Avanthi he departed.

INCIDENT AT KAYANGARAI

"At a place named Kayangarai
All arrived including Athipathi.
As you predicted it happened.
The entire city went underground."

"At Kayangarai you preached
There to all those who reached.
On the ethics and morals
To be followed by the people."

SURRENDERED TO YOUR FEET

"To Asodhara's King Iravivanman,
And Rasamadevi, the Queen,
As their daughter I was born.
My name was Lakumi then."

"To the King Athipathi,
And the Queen Neelapathi,
They gave birth to a son.
His name was Raghulan."

"I was married to Raghulan
Along with him I came then
To visit your lotus feet
In this exalted seat."
