# Lanka Kand · Doha 3

**चौ०** 
> जे रामेस्वर दरसनु करिहहिं। ते तनु तजि मम लोक सिधरिहहिं॥  
> जो गंगाजलु आनि चढ़ाइहि। सो साजुज्य मुक्ति नर पाइहि॥ १ ॥

**चौ०** 
> होइ अकाम जो छल तजि सेइहि। भगति मोरि तेहि संकर देइहि॥  
> मम कृत सेतु जो दरसनु करिही। सो बिनु श्रम भवसागर तरिही॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> राम बचन सब के जिय भाए। मुनिबर निज निज आश्रम आए॥  
> गिरिजा रघुपति कै यह रीती। संतत करहिं प्रनत पर प्रीती॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> बाँधा सेतु नील नल नागर। राम कृपाँ जसु भयउ उजागर॥  
> बूड़हिं आनहि बोरहिं जेई। भए उपल बोहित सम तेई॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> महिमा यह न जलधि कइ बरनी। पाहन गुन न कपिन्ह कइ करनी॥५॥

Meaning: “They who will behold Lord Rāmeśvara (liṅgam) will on giving up the body go direct to My sphere in heaven. And a man who takes the water of the Gaṅgā and pours it on the Liṅgam will attain liberation in the form of absorption into My being. (1)

“Again, whosoever adores Lord Rāmeśwara in a selfless spirit and without guile will be blessed by Śaṅkara with devotion to Me. And he who sees the bridge erected by me will be able to cross the ocean of worldly existence without any exertion.” (2)

Śrī Rāma’s words gladdened the hearts of all and the great sages returned to their respective hermitages. Girijā, (says Śaṅkara,) such is the way of Śrī Raghunātha: He ever loves those who take refuge in Him. (3)

The dexterous Nala and Nīla constructed the bridge and by Śrī Rāma’s grace their renown spread far and wide. Those very rocks that not only sink themselves but cause even others to sink alongwith them, floated like so many rafts. (4)

This is, however, not ascribed to any miraculous power of the ocean, nor to a virtue of the rocks themselves, nor again to any skill of the monkeys. (5)

**दो०** 
> श्री रघुबीर प्रताप ते सिंधु तरे पाषान।  
> ते मतिमंद जे राम तजि भजहिं जाइ प्रभु आन॥३॥

Meaning: It was by the glory of Śrī Raghuvīra that rocks floated on the ocean. They are dull-witted, indeed, who go to worship a lord other than Śrī Rāma. (3)
