In the year of 1607, once when Tulsidas was making Chandan (sandalwood), two young princes came to him and asked for Chandan. Lord Hanuman came in the form of a parrot and spoke:
|| Chitrakoot Ke Ghaat Par, Bhai Santan Ke Bheer
Tulseedaas Chandan Ghisen, Tilak Det Raghubeer ||
Translation:
“…Amidst the large crowd of holy men in Chitrakut, while Tulsidas grinds the sandalwood to turn it into paste, Raghubeer (Lord Ram) appeared before him asking the paste to be smeared on his forehead…”
