Divination

Ram Shalaka Prashnavali

Touch one cell of the 15 by 15 grid: every ninth cell from it spells a line of the Rāmacaritamānasa, and that line is the answer.

Divination

A devotional lot, not jyotiṣa: no chart, no planets and no classical text stand behind the answer - only the line of the Rāmacaritamānasa your chosen cell leads to, and the Gita Press's one-line reading of it, paraphrased here.

How it is consulted

Hold the question in mind and remember Rāma, then touch any one cell. From it, take every ninth cell, carrying on from the last cell to the first, until the count returns to where you began. Twenty-five cells are read: a cell holding only the ā-sign is counted and joins the syllable before it, and a cell with two syllables counts once. Together they spell one half-caupāī of the Mānas, and that line is the answer.

Touch any cell to read its line. Scroll sideways to see all fifteen columns.

Whose device this is

Printed as an appendix to the Gita Press Śrīrāmacaritamānasa, pp. [1053]-[1055]. Tradition attributes it to Tulsīdās; Hindi scholarship (Udaybhānu Siṃh, 1966; Rāmcandra Tivārī) holds this grid is not his. The nine lines are Tulsīdās's.
