ŚABARĪ   A woman of the tribe of forest-dwellers. Śrī Rāma, during his life in the forest, gave her salvation.
1) Former life.
Śabarī, in her former life, was the only daughter Mālinī of the Gandharva King, Citrakavaca. An erudite scholar, Vītihotra, married her. As he was ever immersed in contemplation of Brahman his wife Mālinī, (later Śabarī) kept one hunter, Kalmāṣa, as her paramour, and her husband cursed her thus: “As you have become a lover of the hunter, you turn out to be a hunter-woman.
” 2) At the Suburbs of Mataṅga's hermitage.
Mālinī in tears sought redemption from the curse from her husband, and he told her that she would get absolution from her infamy and the curse from Śrī Rāma. Immediately she was transformed into a hunter-woman and she came to the suburbs of Mataṅgāśrama. She took a special liking for the place, the reason being that the flowers in the āśrama possessed a special fragrance. Once while the disciples were carrying a load of flowers for the muni (Mataṅga) a few drops of sweat from their bodies fell on the ground, and the muni blessed that the trees and creepers, which grew up from the sweat and their flowers would never fade. This is described as follows in Canto 73, Araṇyakāṇḍa of Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. “Oh! Rāma! nobody plucks and wears those flowers. They neither fade nor fall down. While the disciples of Mataṅga were carrying a load of flowers for him, they sweated on account of exhaustion and some drops of sweat fell on earth which developed themselves into flowers due to the prowess of the guru's tapas. Even today may be seen there Śabarī, who has taken to sannyāsa and who tends the flowers. She will attain heaven only after seeing you.” Śabarī lived for long there serving Mataṅga's disciples, performing tapas and learning knowledge about Brahman. At the time of the munis giving up their physical bodies they blessed Śabarī that without further delay she would meet Rāma and get redemption from the curse. They also blessed that she would possess divine eyes to see hidden things and also the past and the future. After that she was spending her days awaiting the arrival of Rāma. It was the period of the life in the forest of Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. After visiting various āśramas Rāma at last came to Mataṅgāśrama. Hearing about Rāma's visit Śabarī had gathered a lot of fruits. Now, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa came and Śabarī received them most respectfully. After herself biting each fruit to test its taste she gave the fruits for them to eat. The left-overs of Śabarī appeared as nectar to Rāma. Then Śabarī told Rāma thus: “When you go a short distance southwards there is the beautiful stream called Pampā. You cross Pampā and advance a little further and you will reach mount Ṛṣyamūka. On the top of that mountain lives Sugrīva, son of Sun, and if you enter into alliance with him you will succeed in finding out and getting back Sītā after annihilating the enemies. Oh! Lord! my salutations.” After speaking thus, Śabarī the great anchorite and chaste woman closed her eyes. Immediately she was transformed into Mālinī, the Gandharva damsel, and all at once a handsome Gandharva prince appeared there in a divine plane. It was Vītihotra, the husband of Mālinī. After saluting Śrī Rāma he took away his wife in a chariot to the Gandharva city. [Kamba Rāmāyaṇa, Araṇyakāṇḍa] .

शबरी     

शबरी n.  शबर जाति की एक स्त्री, जो पंपासरोवर के पश्चिमी तट पर रहनेवाले मातंग ऋषि की परिचारिका थी । राम के प्रति अनन्य भक्ति के कारण, इसे ‘सिद्धा’, ‘श्रमणा’ आदि श्रेष्ठ उपाधियाँ प्राप्त हुई, एवं श्रेष्ठ भक्ति की साकार प्रतिमा यह माने जाने लगी।
शबरी n.  कबंध राक्षस के कथनानुसार, राम लक्ष्मण सीता का शोध करते मतंगवन आ पहुँचे। वहाँ इसने उनका उचित आदरसत्कार किया, एवं कहा, ‘आपके आने से पूर्व ही मातंग ऋषि का स्वर्गवास हुआ। अब उन्हींके आदेश से मैं आपकी प्रतीक्षा कर रही हूँ’।
शबरी n.  इतना कह कर, शबरी ने राम के भोजन के लिए वन के विविध कन्दमूल उन्हें अर्पण किये [वा. रा. अर. ७४.१७] । तत्पश्चात् मतंगवन में स्थित मतंग ऋषि की तपस्या एवं यज्ञ का स्थान, ‘प्रत्यक्स्थली’ नामक यज्ञवेदी, ‘सप्तसागर’ नामक तीर्थ आदि का दर्शन इसने राम को कराया ।
शबरी n.  पश्चात् राम की अनुज्ञा से इसने अग्नि प्रदीप्त किया, एवं उसमें स्वयं की आहुति दे कर यह स्वर्गलोक वासी प्रष्ट हुई।
शबरी n.  इस ग्रंथ में शबरी के हीन जाति पर विशेष जोर दिया है । रामभक्तिसांप्रदाय का प्रचार करने के दृष्टि से इसकी जीवनगाथा वहाँ दी गयी है, जिससे यह स्पष्ट हो जाये कि, रामभक्ति भेदभाव से ऊपर उठ कर सब को मुक्ति प्रदान करती है (भक्तिमुक्तिविधायनी भगवतः रामचन्द्रस्य) । इसी कारण शबरी की गुरुभक्ति, सेवाभाव, तपस्या एवं अपार रामभक्ति का इस कथा में सविस्तृत वर्णन किया गया है । इस कथा के अनुसार, शबरी ने राम का उचित आदरसत्कार कर, उसे प्रश्र्न किया, ‘मैं मूढ़ एवं हीन जाति में उत्पन्न होने के कारण, आपके दर्शन एवं उपासना की योग्यता नही रखती हूँ’ । इस पर राम ने इसे उत्तर दिया, ‘परमेश्र्वरप्राप्ति के लिए जाति की उच्चनीचता, अथवा स्त्रीपुरुष भेदाभेद आदि का कुछ भी महत्त्व नहीं है । महत्त्व है केवल भक्ति का, जिससे कोई भी व्यक्ति परमपद प्राप्त कर सकता है’ [अ. रा. अर. १०.१-४४]
शबरी n.  पद्म आदि उत्तरकालीन पौराणिक साहित्य में ‘अध्यात्मरामायण’ की ही कथा उद्धृत की गयी है [पद्म. उ. २६९.२६५-२६८] , जिस कारण यह कथा भारत के सभी प्रांतिक भाषाओं में रामभक्ति के प्रचार का एक सर्वश्रेष्ठ माध्यम बन गयी।
