Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

You would definitely get salvation.
Ravana hearing these words of Shuka ,
Which destroys ignorance , became red eyed with anger ,
And with great emotion saw and told
As if Shuka would be burnt in to ashes,
“You who is a servant is talking to me like a teacher ,
And how come you started shamelessly to teach me ?
Remembering the good deeds done to me by you,
I have some mercy on you , and because of that,
I am not killing you today, and I order you ,
To speedily to go from my vision and hide yourself,
And I do not have patience to hear ,
These words which cannot be heard by any one,
Do not stand even a quarter of a second before me ,
Definitely death would come to you today itself.”
Scared and shivering by these words,
Sukha went to his home and remained there.
6.11 Shukande Poorva Vruthantham
The earlier story of Shukha
Once Shuka was a great Brahmin who was pure ,
Who always protected the rules of Brahmanism.
He lived in a forest as a semi retired life ,
And was recognized as one of the greatly wise man,
And daily used to do rituals for betterment of devas ,
And for the destruction of the enemies of Devas.
Towards this end he used to do fire sacrifices ,
And meditate on the divine Brahma assuming a yogic pose.
When he was living like this for good of devas ,
Berating all Rakshasas , One Vajradamshtra,
Who was a very bad Rakshasa and when he was waiting ,
For the proper time to trouble Shuka ,
Sage Agasthya born out of a pot reached ,
The hermitage of Shuka accidentally.
Sage Agasthya who was worshipped,
Was invited for taking meals with him,
