Jai Sri Ram.

 Achit vat pArathandriya prakatanam.

 

LakshmyA saha RushIkEsaha: DEvyA kAruNya rUpayA  |

Rakshaha: sarva sidhAnthE vedAnthEbi geeyathE ||

 It means that Goddess Lakshmi  by mending the JeevAtma and obliterating all his sins  make him worthy of the blessing by the Lord.

 Here Rama is all set to unite with Sita and sage VisvAmitra has to make that happen.

 As ordained by VasishtA, Dasaratha and Kousalya request Rama, LakshmaNa to be brought where they were present.  When they arrived the two blessed them by kissing their forehead and then helped them in the hands of VisvAmitra.

 VAlmiki puts it as if they were handed over like an inanimate object were to be given conforming to the achitvat pArathandriyam of the two.

 Dathow Kusika PuthrAya suprEthEna anthrAtmA.

 The same sentiments were expressed by Alwar and Andal in the following verses respectively :

 Dayaratharku magan thanai andri matrilEn thanjamAgavE.

 Nandagopan Kumaran.

 ukkamum, thatoLiyum thandu un MaNALnaiyum thandu etc.

 ukkam = hand fan. ThatoLi = mirror. MaNALan = KrishNan.

 Andal treats KrishNa as if an inanimate object like the hand fan and the mirror to be given away with all the right of chose in possession and chose in action.

Sri Rama as well as Sri KrishNa  loved such dispositions with respect to their parents and their Consort.

Having gotten the two, VisvAmitra walked away in a haste and for about 1.5 yojana or 15 miles approximately equal  22 KM distance along the banks of the river Sarayu.  From there it was hard hit dry belt  forcing thirst, hunger and exhaustion.

 

Hence the Sage taught them two the sacred Mantras by name Bala and Athibala, chanting of which will void hunger, fever, bodily distortions, sleep, dizziness and the bad omens of the sudra devathAs. With that Rama and LakshmaNa became so strong that no one can win or equal them in all the three worlds.

 
Our Bala, Athibala mantras are Acharya bhakthi and Bhagavat prApthi
