Sphatik shila

                                                               Sphatik Shila

Sphatik shila : This is a very important ancient religious place, Lord Rama used to rest in this place with the labor of Van Vihar.

 Goswami Tulsidasji, as Sri Ram - Janaki ji is seated on the stone of the crystal, describes it in Ramcharitmanas in this way.

"surapati sutadhar vaayas bheva , sath chaahat raghupati bal dekha,

 jimi pipeelaka saagar thaaha , mahaamand gati paavan chaaha "

 "seeta charan chochahat bhaaga , moodh mand mati kaaran kaaga,

  chala roodhir raghunaayak jaana , seek dhanush saayak sandhaana "

 

"prerit mantr brahmasar dhaava , chala bhaaji baayas bhay paava,

brahmadhaam shivapur sab loka , phira amit vyaakul bhay shoka "

"kaahoo baithan kaha na ohee , raakhi ko sakai raam kar drohee,

 naarad dekha vikal jayanta laagi daya komal chit sata "

 

"suni krpaal ati aarat baanee , ek nayan kari taja bhavaanee "

In this way, Lord Shri Rama gave instruction to Indra son Jayant by beating him for utmost audacity and crookedness.  As a proof of this progress there is a hill across the Mandakini river which is known as Jayat hill .
