SVS 286 [Srutisagara: - 265] (28.8)

265. OM SRUTISAGARAYA NAMA: श्रुतिसागराय नम:
Like Ocean to rivers, He is to Vedas.

We are at Bittur, on the banks of Ganges, where Valmiki had his Ashram. Sri Sita delivered Lava and Kusha. Srutisagara means the destination of Vedas. Vedas are like ocean; but if we compare them to a river, then the Lord is like Ocean for that river! Like the Lord, Vedas are eternal. If Vedas are theory, Ramayana is practical! Prachetas [प्रचेतस] is Varuna, and so Valmiki, his son is Praachetas [प्राचेतस]. Sri Rama, the Hero of Ramayana, is embodiment of Vedas!
