PLATE FOUR

“In Kimpurusa-varsa the great devotee Hanuman is always engaged
with the inhabitants of that land in devotional service to Lord Rama-
candra, the elder brother of Laksmana and dear husband of Sitadevi. A
host of Gandharvas is always engaged in chanting the glories of Rama-
candra. That chanting is always extremely auspicious. Hanumanji and
Arstisena, the chief person in Kimpurusa-varsa, constantly hear those
glories with complete attention. Hanuman chants the following mantras:
‘Let me please Your Lordship by chanting the bija-mantra, omkara. |
wish to offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, who is the best among the most elevated personalities. Your
Lordship is the reservoir of all good qualities. Your character and
behavior are always consistent, and You always control Your senses and
mind. Acting just like an ordinary human being, You exhibit exemplary
character to teach others how to behave. It was ordained that Ravana,
chief of the Raksasas, could not be killed by anyone but a man, and for
this reason Lord Ramacandra, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, ap-
peared in the form of a human being to kill Ravana.’ ” (pp.223-229)
