# Uttar Kand · Doha 15

Śrī Rāma bestows parting presents on the monkeys and the Niṣāda chief

**चौ०** 
> सुनु खगपति यह कथा पावनी। त्रिबिध ताप भव भय दावनी॥  
> महाराज कर सुभ अभिषेका। सुनत लहहिं नर बिरति बिबेका॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जे सकाम नर सुनहिं जे गावहिं। सुख संपति नाना बिधि पावहिं॥  
> सुर दुर्लभ सुख करि जग माहीं। अंतकाल रघुपति पुर जाहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनहिं बिमुक्त बिरत अरु बिषई। लहहिं भगति गति संपति नई॥  
> खगपति राम कथा मैं बरनी। स्वमति बिलास त्रास दुख हरनी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> बिरति बिबेक भगति दृढ़ करनी। मोह नदी कहँ सुंदर तरनी॥  
> नित नव मंगल कौसलपुरी। हरषित रहहिं लोग सब कुरी॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> नित नइ प्रीति राम पद पंकज। सब कें जिन्हहि नमत सिव मुनि अज॥  
> मंगन बहु प्रकार पहिराए। द्विजन्ह दान नाना बिधि पाए॥५॥

Meaning: Listen, O king of the birds, continues Kākabhuśuṇḍi: this story purifies the heart and rids one of the threefold affliction and the fear of birth and death. By hearing the narrative of King Rāma’s blessed coronation men acquire dispassion and discernment. (1)

Those men who hear or sing it with some interested motive attain happiness and prosperity of several kinds; after enjoying in this world pleasures to which even gods can scarcely aspire, they ascend to Śrī Rāma’s divine Abode at the end of their earthly sojourn. (2)

If a liberated soul, a man of dispassion or a sensual person hear it, they obtain Devotion, final beatitude and ever increasing prosperity, respectively. O king of birds, continues Kākabhuśuṇḍi, the story of Śrī Rāma, that I have narrated according to my own understanding, takes away the fear of birth and death and rids one of sorrow. (3)

It stablises one’s dispassion, discernment and devotion and is a splendid boat to take one across the river of infatuation. Everyday there was some new rejoicing in Ayodhyā. People of all classes were happy. (4)

Everybody cherished an ever-growing affection for Śrī Rāma’s lotus-feet, which are adored even by Lord Śiva, Brahmā (the Unborn) and the sages. Mendicants were provided with clothes of various types, while the Brāhmaṇas received gifts of all kinds. (5)

**दो०** 
> ब्रह्मानंद मगन कपि सब कें प्रभु पद प्रीति।  
> जात न जाने दिवस तिन्ह गए मास षट बीति॥१५॥

Meaning: The hosts of monkeys were all immersed in the joy of absorption into Brahma; all were devoted to the Lord’s feet. Days passed unnoticed and lo! a period of six months elapsed. (15)
