Mmgl Part 010-001 - Given Mantras Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

(Goddess Manimegala appeared
and told her that Raghulan was
Udayakumaran, that Tara and Veera
were Madhavi and Sudamadhi.
She teaches Manimegalai three
Mantras and disappeared)

THE GODDESS APPEARED

From the Buddha's feet-seat,
All the past Manimegalai learnt.
The Goddess Manimegala appeared
Before the girl, whose nature was good.

THE GODDESS PRAISED THE SEAT

Within the Manimegalai's ear shot,
The goddess praised the seat.
"The living beings, morals they lost.
To hear good things, ears they lost."

"Their own wisdom they lost,
That ended in poverty at last.
The world became bereft
Of virtuous deeds very fast."

"When there was darkness,
And the world was helpless,
You appeared here as a light,
To expel the darkness out."

"I submit myself to your feet.
I praise your noble seat.
Let the world live in peace.
Let their lives be ease."

WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?

Manimegalai said, "Oh Mother,
By your mercy and timely care,
I learnt my past life with ease.
Tell me where my husband is? "

ONE DAY YOU FELL FOR

The goddess spoke:

"One day in a flower garden,
With your husband Raghulan,
You exposed your passion high,
When to free it he made a try."

"By then came a saintly person,
Right before you in the garden.
You were shocked to see him.
As you didn't expect him."

WORSHIPED HIS FEET

"You became shy of your action.
Then with all your devotion,
You prostrated before him,
And there welcomed him."

"When angry became Raghulan,
He asked you, "Who's this man? "
You shut his mouth with your hand,
As the Saint's value he didn't understand."

"The saint was Buddha's devotee,
From the material life who was free,
And before him you both prostrated
Thus your devotion you demonstrated."

FOOD GIFT

"You gave food and cool water.
The Saint accepted your offer.
He ate and blessed you both,
To end the sorrows of birth."

GOD'S MIND

"The one who came to the garden,
He's none but Udayakumaran.
He's mad after you.
He really loves you."

"For dharma you're a seed.
In this path, there's a need
For your involvement deeply,
So, I brought you here safely."

YOUR SISTERS

"You must carefully listen.
Kachaya Kingdom's King Duchayan
Who was great among the warriors,
He married Tara and Veera your sisters."
