Doha 127

He alone is omniscient and accomplished, he alone is wise, he alone is an ornament of the globe, learned and munificent, he alone is pious and he the saviour of his race, whose mind is devoted to the feet of Śrī Rāma. (1) He alone is perfect in correct behaviour and most sagacious, he alone has thoroughly grasped the conclusion of the Vedas, and he alone is a seer, a man of erudition, and staunch in battle, who adores Śrī Raghunātha in a guileless spirit. (2) Blessed is the land where flows the celestial stream, the Gaṅgā; blessed the wife who observes a vow of fidelity to her husband. Blessed is the monarch who administers justice; blessed the Brāhmaṇa who swerves not from his duty; (3) Blessed is the wealth which is used for the best purpose*; blessed is the intellect and ripe too, which is devoted to pious acts. Blessed is the time which is spent in communion with saints; blessed is the birth in which one practises unceasing devotion to the Brāhmaṇas. (4) * Wealth invariably meets one of the following three fates: it is either devoted to some charitable purpose, squandered away on luxury and enjoyment or lost. Evidently the first of these is the best use of it. The wealth of the miser who neither devotes it to the service of the needy, nor spends it on his own comforts meets with the third, which is it’s worst fate.

Listen, Umā, blessed is the family, worthy of adoration for the whole world and most hallowed too, in which is born a humble devotee of the illustrious Śrī Raghuvīra. (127)
