# Lanka Kand · Doha 121b

The glory of Śrī Rāma’s story

**चौ०** 
> प्रभु हनुमंतहि कहा बुझाई। धरि बटु रूप अवधपुर जाई॥  
> भरतहि कुसल हमारि सुनाएहु। समाचार लै तुम्ह चलि आएहु॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> तुरत पवनसुत गवनत भयऊ। तब प्रभु भरद्वाज पहिं गयऊ॥  
> नाना बिधि मुनि पूजा कीन्ही। अस्तुति करि पुनि आसिष दीन्ही॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मुनि पद बंदि जुगल कर जोरी। चढ़ि बिमान प्रभु चले बहोरी॥  
> इहाँ निषाद सुना प्रभु आए। नाव नाव कहँ लोग बोलाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुरसरि नाघि जान तब आयो। उतरेउ तट प्रभु आयसु पायो॥  
> तब सीताँ पूजी सुरसरी। बहु प्रकार पुनि चरनन्हि परी॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> दीन्हि असीस हरषि मन गंगा। सुंदरि तव अहिवात अभंगा॥  
> सुनत गुहा धायउ प्रेमाकुल। आयउ निकट परम सुख संकुल॥५॥

**चौ०** 
> प्रभुहि सहित बिलोकि बैदेही। परेउ अवनि तन सुधि नहिं तेही॥  
> प्रीति परम बिलोकि रघुराई। हरषि उठाइ लियो उर लाई॥६॥

Meaning: The Lord instructed Hanumān as follows: “Go ahead of us to the city of Ayodhyā in the guise of a celibate, tell Bharata the news of our welfare and then come back with all the news about him.” (1)

Hanumān, the son of the wind-god, immediately left and the Lord then called on Bharadvāja. The sage offered Him all kinds of worship and after reciting His glories, gave Him his blessing. (2)

The Lord in His turn adored the sage’s feet with folded hands, mounted the car and went on His journey. At this end the Niṣāda chief heard that the Lord had come and exclaiming “The boat, where is the boat?” summoned his people. (3)

Meanwhile the aerial car flew across the celestial stream and landed on the bank (adjoining Śṛṅgaverapura) in obedience to the Lord’s command. Then Sītā offered all kinds of worship to the celestial stream and threw Herself at the feet of the Goddess presiding over the stream. (4)

In gladness of soul Gaṅgā pronounced Her blessing: “May You enjoy eternal, happy married life, O fair lady.” Overwhelmed with love, Guha ran to meet the Lord as soon as he heard of His landing and approached his Master, full of ecstatic joy. (5)

Perceiving the Lord accompanied by Jānakī, he fell flat on the ground, having no body-consciousness. Śrī Raghunātha felt overjoyed to see the exuberance of his love; He took him up and clasped him to His bosom. (6)

**छं०** 
> लियो हृदयँ लाइ कृपा निधान सुजान रायँ रमापती।  
> बैठारि परम समीप बूझी कुसल सो कर बीनती॥  
> अब कुसल पद पंकज बिलोकि बिरंचि संकर सेब्य जे।  
> सुख धाम पूरनकाम राम नमामि राम नमामि ते॥१॥

**छं०** 
> सब भाँति अधम निषाद सो हरि भरत ज्यों उर लाइयो।  
> मतिमंद तुलसीदास सो प्रभु मोह बस बिसराइयो॥  
> यह रावनारि चरित्र पावन राम पद रतिप्रद सदा।  
> कामादिहर बिग्यानकर सुर सिद्ध मुनि गावहिं मुदा॥२॥

Meaning: The All-merciful Lord of Ramā (Sītā), the wisest among the wise, took and clasped him to His bosom and, seating him very close to Him, enquired after his welfare. Guha submitted in reply: “Now all is well with me, for I have beheld Your lotus-feet, worthy of adoration even to Brahmā and Lord Śiva. O blissful Śrī Rāma, self-sufficient as You are, I simply adore You! O Śrī Rāma, I adore You!!” (1)

That Niṣāda, who was low in every respect, Śrī Hari clasped to His bosom as though he were Bharata himself! A victim of infatuation, this dull-witted Tulasīdāsa, however, has cast out of his mind even such a benign lord. This story of the Slayer of Rāvaṇa, is not only sanctifying but vouchsafes loving and perpetual devotion to Śrī Rāma’s feet. Nay, it uproots lust and other evil passions and begets true wisdom and is joyously sung by gods, the Siddhas and sages. (2)

**दो०** 
> समर बिजय रघुबीर के चरित जे सुनहिं सुजान।  
> बिजय बिबेक बिभूति नित तिन्हहि देहिं भगवान॥१२१(क)॥

**दो०** 
> यह कलिकाल मलायतन मन करि देखु बिचार।  
> श्रीरघुनाथ नाम तजि नाहिन आन अधार॥१२१(ख)॥

Meaning: The Lord rewards with everlasting victory, wisdom and worldly prosperity those men of good understanding who listen to the stories relating to the victory of Śrī Rāma in battle. (121 A)

Ponder well and see for yourself, O my mind: this age of Kali is the very repository of impurities. There is nothing to fall back upon in this age (to get absolved of sins) other than the name of the illustrious Śrī Raghunātha. (121 B)

[PAUSE 27 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION]

Thus ends the sixth descent into the Mānasa lake of Śrī Rāma’s exploits, that eradicate all the impurities of the Kali age.

Guru-Vandanā
