# Uttar Kand · Doha 52b

**चौ०** 
> गिरिजा सुनहु बिसद यह कथा। मैं सब कही मोरि मति जथा॥  
> राम चरित सत कोटि अपारा। श्रुति सारदा न बरनै पारा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> राम अनंत अनंत गुनानी। जन्म कर्म अनंत नामानी॥  
> जल सीकर महि रज गनि जाहीं। रघुपति चरित न बरनि सिराहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बिमल कथा हरि पद दायनी। भगति होइ सुनि अनपायनी॥  
> उमा कहिउँ सब कथा सुहाई। जो भुसुंडि खगपतिहि सुनाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कछुक राम गुन कहेउँ बखानी। अब का कहौं सो कहहु भवानी॥  
> सुनि सुभ कथा उमा हरषानी। बोली अति बिनीत मृदु बानी॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> धन्य धन्य मैं धन्य पुरारी। सुनेउँ राम गुन भव भय हारी॥५॥

Meaning: “Listen, Girijā”, continues Lord Śiva: “I have told you in full this holy narrative according to My own comprehension. The narratives of Śrī Rāma are innumerable and beyond all dimensions. Not even the Vedas and Sarasvatī, the goddess of speech, can recount them all. (1)

“Infinite is Śrī Rāma and infinite His excellences; His births, exploits and names too are endless. It may be possible to count the drops of water (in a shower of rain) or the grains of sand; but the exploits of Śrī Raghunātha cannot be recounted in full. (2)

“This sacred story enables one to reach the abode of Śrī Hari; whoever hears it is blessed with unceasing devotion. Umā, (goes on Lord Śiva,) I have narrated in full the delightful story which Kākabhuśuṇḍi recited to the King of birds, Garuḍa, (3)

“I have thus recounted a few of Śrī Rāma’s virtues; let me know, Bhavānī, what more am I to tell you now.” Umā was glad to have heard the blessed story and replied in exceedingly polite and humble accents: (4)

“I am thrice blessed, O Slayer of the demon Tripura, to have heard Śrī Rāma’s glories, that take away the fear of birth and death. (5)

**दो०** 
> तुम्हरी कृपाँ कृपायतन अब कृतकृत्य न मोह।  
> जानेउँ राम प्रताप प्रभु चिदानंद संदोह॥५२(क)॥

**दो०** 
> नाथ तवानन ससि स्रवत कथा सुधा रघुबीर।  
> श्रवन पुटन्हि मन पान करि नहिं अघात मतिधीर॥५२(ख)॥

Meaning: “By Your grace, O Abode of mercy, I have now attained the object of my life and have no delusion left in me. I have realized the greatness of Lord Śrī Rāma, who is the eternal truth and bliss personified. (52 A)

“O lord of resolute mind, my heart knows no satiety as I quaff with the cups of my ears the nectar-like story of Śrī Raghuvīra flowing from Your moon-like mouth.” (52 B)
