266. OM SUBHUJAYA NAMA: ॐ सुभुजाय नम:
Has broad shoulders to take the responsibilities of those surrendered.
We are at Bittur, Valmiki's Ashram. The Lion Valmiki roars Sri Rama and drives away all evils. When once he could not take bath in Ganges, he was about to bathe in nearby Thamasa river, he saw a hunter killing the male of a bird couple and reprimanded the hunter for this inhuman act. But, that reprimand became the mangala sloka for the start of Srimad Ramayana! Here, once Sri Sita's children Lav and Kush, reigned in the sacrificial horse sent by emperor Sri Rama. This provoked Hanuman to fight with Lav and Kush, to get back the horse. While both the fighting parties did not know the antecedents of each other, Lav and Kush, could bind Hanuman to a tree! We are shown that tree here. All these show that the Lord takes enormous efforts to protect His devotees. Unfortunately, we do not keep these sacred rivers clean. Sri Rama is famous for His magnificent shoulders and arms. Sri Sita used His shoulders as pillows! With such shoulders to protect, Sri Sita was never scared of the wild animals in the forests!
