Doha 60
नाथ नील नल कपि द्वौ भाई। लरिकाईं रिषि आसिष पाई॥ तिन्ह कें परस किएँ गिरि भारे। तरिहहिं जलधि प्रताप तुम्हारे॥१॥
मैं पुनि उर धरि प्रभु प्रभुताई। करिहउँ बल अनुमान सहाई॥ एहि बिधि नाथ पयोधि बँधाइअ। जेहिं यह सुजसु लोक तिहुँ गाइअ॥२॥
एहिं सर मम उत्तर तट बासी। हतहु नाथ खल नर अघ रासी॥ सुनि कृपाल सागर मन पीरा। तुरतहिं हरी राम रनधीरा॥३॥
देखि राम बल पौरुष भारी। हरषि पयोनिधि भयउ सुखारी॥ सकल चरित कहि प्रभुहि सुनावा। चरन बंदि पाथोधि सिधावा॥४॥
Meaning
“My lord, the two monkey brothers, Nīla and Nala, got a boon in their childhood from a sage. Touched by them even huge mountains will float on the ocean by Your glory. (1) “Cherishing my lord’s (Your) greatness, I too shall render all help to the best of my ability. In this way, my lord, have the ocean bridged, so that this glorious achievement of Yours may be sung in all three spheres of creation. (2) “With this arrow, my Lord, exterminate the race of vile criminals inhabiting my northern coast.” On hearing this, Śrī Rāma, who was as tender-hearted as He was staunch in battle, immediately relieved the agony of Ocean’s heart. (3) The god presiding over the ocean was rejoiced and gratified to witness Śrī Rāma’s astounding might and valour. He related to the Lord all the doings of those villains; and bowing at His feet, Ocean took his leave. (4)
निज भवन गवनेउ सिंधु श्रीरघुपतिहि यह मत भायऊ। यह चरित कलि मलहर जथामति दास तुलसी गायऊ॥ सुख भवन संसय समन दवन बिषाद रघुपति गुन गना। तजि सकल आस भरोस गावहि सुनहि संतत सठ मना॥
Meaning
The god presiding over the ocean left for his abode; the idea (of bridging the ocean) commended itself to the blessed Śrī Raghunātha. This story (of Śrī Rāma’s exploits in this Kāṇḍa), which wipes out the impurities of the Kali age, has been sung by Tulasīdāsa according to his own comprehension. The excellences of Śrī Raghunātha are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubt and an unfailing remedy for sorrow. Therefore, giving up all worldly hope and reliance, ever sing and listen to them, O foolish mind.
सकल सुमंगल दायक रघुनायक गुन गान। सादर सुनहिं ते तरहिं भव सिंधु बिना जलजान॥६०॥
Meaning
A recital of the virtues of Śrī Raghunātha bestows all blessings. Those who reverently hear them cross the ocean of mundane existence without any bark. (60) [PAUSE 24 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION] Thus ends the fifth descent into the Mānasa lake of Śrī Rāma’s exploits, that eradicate all the impurities of the Kali age.
