ଦେଖି ରାମ ଅତି ରୁଚିର ତଲାବା । ମଜ୍ଜନୁ କୀନ୍ହ ପରମ ସୁଖ ପାବା ।
ଦେଖୀ ସୁଂଦର ତରୁବର ଛାୟା । ବୈଠେ ଅନୁଜ ସହିତ ରଘୁରାୟା । ୧ ।
ତହଁ ପୁନି ସକଲ ଦେବ ମୁନି ଆଏ । ଅସ୍ତୁତି କରି ନିଜ ଧାମ ସିଧାଏ ।
ବୈଠେ ପରମ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ କୃପାଲା । କହତ ଅନୁଜ ସନ କଥା ରସାଲା । ୨ ।
ବିରହବଂତ ଭଗବଂତହି ଦେଖୀ । ନାରଦ ମନ ଭା ସୋଚ ବିସେଷୀ ।
ମୋର ସାପ କରି ଅଂଗୀକାରା । ସହତ ରାମ ନାନା ଦୁଖ ଭାରା । ୩ ।
ଐସେ ପ୍ରଭୁହି ବିଲୋକଉଁ ଜାଈ । ପୁନି ନ ବନିହି ଅସ ଅବସରୁ ଆଈ ।
ଯହ ବିଚାରି ନାରଦ କର ବୀନା । ଗଏ ଜହାଁ ପ୍ରଭୁ ସୁଖ ଆସୀନା । ୪ ।
ଗାବତ ରାମ ଚରିତ ମୃଦୁ ବାନୀ । ପ୍ରେମ ସହିତ ବହୁ ଭାତି ବଖାନୀ ।
କରତ ଦଂଡବତ ଲିଏ ଉଠାଈ । ରାଖେ ବହୁତ ବାର ଉର ଲାଈ । ୫ ।
ସ୍ୱାଗତ ପୂଁଛି ନିକଟ ବୈଠାରେ । ଲଛିମନ ସାଦର ଚରନ ପଖାରେ । ୬ ।
When Rama saw this most beautiful lake, He took a dip into it and felt
supremely delighted. Seeing the pleasant shade of a stately tree, the Lord of
Raghus sat in it with His younger brother. There all the gods and sages came
once more and having hymned His praises returned to their several homes. The
All-merciful sat in a most cheerful mood and discoursed with His younger brother
on delightful topics. When the sage Narada saw the Lord suffering the pangs of
separation, he felt much perturbed at heart. ‘ It is in submission to my curse*
that the Lord is undergoing many hardships of an oppressive nature. Let me,
therefore, go and see such a noble Lord; for such an opportunity may not present
itself again,’ Reflecting thus Narada went, lute in hand, to the spot where the
Lord was sitting at ease. He fondly sang in a soft voice the exploits of Shri
Rama dwelling upon them in all detail. As he prostrated himself the Lord lifted
him up and held him in His embrace for a long time. After enquiring of his
welfare He seated him by His side, while LakShmana reverently laved His feet.

After much supplication and realizing that the Lord was pleased at heart,
Narada joined his lotus palms and spoke as follows:- (41)

` Listen, O Lord of Raghus, generous by nature as You are: You confer
delightful boons that are unattainable as well as those that are attainable.
Grant me, my master, only one boon that I ask of You, even though You already
know it (even without my asking), indwelling as You do the hearts of all.’ ‘
You know my disposition, dear sage: do I ever hide anything from my devotees ?
What object do I hold so dear, O chief of sages, that you may not ask it of Me
? There is nothing which I may withhold from my votary: never give up this
belief even by mistake.’ Then Narada gladly said, ‘This is the boon I presume
to ask: even though my lord has many names, each greater than the other, as
the Vedas declare, let the name RaMA, my lord, surpass all other names in
exterminating the whole brood of sins even as a fowler kills an entire flock
of birds. (1-4)

` May the name RaMA shine as the moon and the other names as so many stars in
the cloudless sky of Your devotee’s heart during the full-moon night of
devotion to You.’ ‘The all-merciful Lord of Raghus replied to the sage, ‘So be
it ‘ Thereupon Narada felt much delighted at heart and bowed at the Lord’s
feet. (42 A-B)

Seeing the Lord of Raghus so highly pleased, Narada spoke again in gentle
tones- ‘ Listen, O Rama: when You impelled Your Maya (deluding potency) and
infatuated me, O Lord of Raghus, I wanted to marry. Why, then, did You not let
me accomplish my desire ?’ ‘ Listen, O sage: I tell you with all the emphasis
at My command that I always take care of those who worship Me with undivided
faith, even as a mother guards her child. If an infant child runs to catch
hold of fire or a snake, the mother holds it aside. When, however, her son has
grown up she loves him no doubt, but not as before. The wise are like My grown
up sons, while humble devotees are like My infant children. A devotee depends
on Me, while the former ( a wise man) depends on his own strength; and both
have to face enemies like lust and anger. Pondering thus the prudent adore Me
and never take leave of devotion even after attaining wisdom. (1-5)

`Lust, anger, greed, pride etc., constitute the most powerful army of
Ignorance. But among them all the fiercest and the most troublesome is that
incarnation of Maya (the Lord’s deluding potency) called woman.’ (43)

`Listen, O sage: the Puranas, the Vedas and the saints declare that woman is
like the vernal season to the forest of ignorance. Nay, like the hot season
she dries up all the ponds and lakes of Japa (the muttering of prayers),
austerity and religious observances. Again, lust, anger, pride and jealousy
are so many frogs as it were; like the rainy season woman is the only agency
that gladdens them all. Even so latent desires of a vicious type are like a
bed of lilies, to which, like the autumn, she is ever agreeable. All the
different virtues are like a bed of lotuses; like the middle of winter, woman,
who is a source of base (sensuous) pleasure, blights them all. Again, the
overgrowth of the Yavasa plant in the shape of mineness flourishes when the
close of winter in the shape of woman appears. For owls in the shape of sins
woman is a delightful night thick with darkness. Even so reason, strength,
virtue and truth are all so many fishes as it were; and woman, so declare the
wise, is like a hook to catch them.’ (1-4)

As the sage listened to the delightful words of Rama (the Lord of Raghus),
a thrill ran through his body and his eyes filled with tears. He said to
himself, ‘Tell me, is there any other master whose wont it is to show such
attachment and fondness for his servantsi Men who refuse to worship such a
lord shaking off all delusion are bankrupt of wisdom, dull-writted and
wretched.’
The sage Narada again reverentially spoke to the Lord, ‘ Listen, O Rama, who
are well-versed in sacred lore: tell me, my lord Raghuvira (Hero of Raghu’s
line), the distinguishing marks of saints, O dispeller of the fear of
transmigration.’ ‘ I tell you, dear sage, the qualities of saints, by virtue
of which they hold Me in subjection. They are masters of the six passions
(lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride and jealousy), sinless, disinterested,
firm, possessing nothing, pure (both within and without), full of bliss, of
boundless wisdom, desireless, moderate in diet, truthful, inspired, learned
and united with God, circumspect, bestowing honour on others, free from pride,
strong-minded and highly conversant with the course of Dharma (righteousness).

` They blush to hear themselves praised but feel much delighted to hear
others’ praises. Even-minded and placid, they never abandon the right course.
Guileless by nature and loving, they are given over to prayer, austerity,
control of the senses, self- denial and religious observances and undertake
sacred vows. They are devoted to the feet of their Guru, Lord Govinda (ViShnu)
and the Brahmanas. They are full of piety, forgiving, friendly to all,
compassionate, cheerful under all circumstances and sincerely devoted to My
feet. They are further characterized by dispassion, discretion, modesty,
knowledge of the truth relating to God as well as by a correct knowledge of
the Vedas and Puranas. They never take recourse to hypocrisy, pride or
arrogance nor set their foot on the evil path even by mistake. They are ever
engaged in singing or hearing My stories and are intent on doing good to
others without any consideration. In short, O good sage, the qualities of the
saints are so numerous that they cannot be exhausted even by Sharada ( the
goddess of speech) nor by the Vedas.’ (1-4)

`Neither Sharada nor Shesha could tell them!’ Even as he heard this the sage
Narada clasped the Lord’s lotus feet. In this way the all-merciful Lord, the
befriender of the meek, recounted with His own lips the virtues of His
devotees. Narada bowed his head at the Lord’s feet again and again and left
for the abode of Brahma (the Creator). Blessed are they, says Tulasidasa, who,
giving up all hopes, are steeped in love for Hari.

People who sing or hear the sanctifying praises of Ravana’s Foe shall be
rewarded with steadfast devotion to Rama even without dispassion, japa or

Rama and enjoy the company of saints. (46A-B)
