Sreemathe: Ramanuja:ya Namaha!!!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam!!!


SriRamachandraÂ’s soundaryam is uncomparable.

He is broad-shouldered with powerful arms. His
neck is like a conch-shell with thin lines, his cheekbones
are high, his chest is broad, his feet are well formed.
His arms are long till his knees. He has a beautiful high
crowning head, a broad forehead and a winsome gait.
Because of these beautiful features he was handsome and
attractive. It is necessary for a human too to have a good
physique. Good physical features are as important as oneÂ’s
mental characteristics. The natural physical features
should be improved by proper food, good habits and exercises.
Srirama has a superb skill in archery. He has valour
matching his skill. It is compulsory to have the caliber
to take care of oneÂ’s self and oneÂ’s surroundings. He is
neither too tall nor too short. The Sa:mudrika sa:sthra
(the physiognomic treatise of Astrology) says that an
emperorÂ’s height should be ninety-six inches. Even if one
has a very good body,if his body-parts are not symmetrical
it would be horrible to look at. SriRama is not like that.

He is ‘sama vibhaktha:nga’.

His body parts are of accurate lengths that gave him beauty
There is a shine in his body and body colour. His colour
has tremendous attraction. His courage shudders his
opponents. It is unbearable for his adversaries to stand
in his presence as it is like standing uncovered in the
hot mid summer mid day sun. He has a sinewy chest. His
eyes are long and wide till the ears, beautiful,attractive
and glowing. (pundareeka:ksha).
Thus Ramachandra is a ‘sarva:nga sundara’.
Thus Valmiki depicted SriRamaÂ’s physical as well as mental
attributes.

Jaisrimannarayana!!!
