In the beginning of Ramayana the aadhikaavya, the storyline is explained to poet valmiki by Sage Narada.. Narada once visits the hermitage of Vaalmiki who was doing penance there after getting transformed into an ascetic from a cruel robber by the turn of fate. The sage Valmiki had come across the name Rama and the very word had become a mantra for him and he was curious to know what the person bearing that name would be like. So when, as if by the bounty of divine Grace, the great sage Narada visits him, valmiki bombards him with questions as to who would be the greatest person who ever lived on this earth who was virtuos, powerful, knowledgeable, truthful, grateful, with utmost self-control, who has anger under control, who emits splendour, whose fame is beyond any cloud, and who will be terrible even to gods if provoked in battle.
Narada is pleased by this query and takes this opportunity to recount briefly the whole story of Rama in about ninety couplets. This is the essence of Ramayanam. The sublime qualities of Rama are described today. Frther story will be posted in the days to come..
The king popularly called Rama, who is ruling the world today would answer all the requirements of Valmaiki. He is born in the illustrious race of Ikshwaaku. Rama has absoulte control over his mind,thoughts and actions. He is very powerful, radiates splendour, very determined, and has all his senses under full control. He is intelligent, sagacious, eloquent, is bathing in glory and is the complete exterminator of his enemies. He has broad shoulders, powerful arms, attractive neck in the shape of a conch, and has a stout chin. He has a broad chest, a mighty bow and a collar bone covered with hard flesh, and he is always capable of subduing any enemy in combat. His unusually long arms when put down reaches upto his knee and his head is well formed, the forehead is attractive and his gait is majestic. He is of medium build, neither too tall or too short, neither too fat or too lean, His limbs are well-proportioned, his complexion is unctuous, he possesses rounded chest, large eyes , is full of splendour and he carries in his body auspicious and divine marks. He knows the crux of the virtues and is always good to his words. His eternal lookout is for the welfare of his people. He is illustrious and wise, honest and steadfast in his dealings and his absolute control of his own self embellishes him like an aura. His thoughts are focussed and to the point, so sharp and acute. He is like the prajapati in protecting the creations, he is endowed with great wealth, he is the annihilator of his enemies, and he is the protector of virtues. He is the vindicator of his own ordained duties and looks after his own people with equal alacrity. He possesses the ultimate knowledge in the four vedas and six saastraas. He is the last word in the knowledge of the science of archery. Having deep knowledge in the real import of vedas and sastras and endowed with a very sharp memory and quick wit, he is the icon for all the world. He is pious minded. As the rivers find their final destination in the ocean all high minded people seek him and are blessed with his company. He is noble, and exhibits equal favour to all and is always of a very pleasant countenance. He is the ultimate in all that is excellent in the universe and his fame is always an eternal source of great pleasure to his blessed mother Kousalya. He vies with the ocean in profundity and with the great Himalaya in firmness. He is the relplica of Vishnu in valour and resembles the moon in pleasantness. When he is provoked to anger, he would be like the kalagni or the insatiable fire at the time of destruction of all creations(pralaya) . At the same time he resembles the earth in forbearance. He is equal to the lord of wealth Kubera in liberality and is synonymous with Dharmaraja when it comes to the question of protecting and upholding of Truth.
Rama is the benchmark for all that is splendid.

Chanced into this page/site while searching in google for the slokas in Srimad Bhagavatham on Krishnavatharam. It starts in the Bhaagavatham with “atha sarvagunopetah“ and the word Sarvagunopetah led me to the Valmikiramayanam Baalakandam here! Excellent site and a wealth of information here. Keep up the good work...
