hear the whole narrative and replied in pleasing tones : ìBy the grace of my
lord (Yourself) my doubts have disappeared and my devotion to ›r∂ Råmaís feet has
been renovated. (1ó4)

life. Unswerving devotion to ›r∂ Råma has sprung in my heart and all my afflictions
have ended.î (129)

This blessed dialogue between Lord ›ambhu and Goddess Umå begets joy and
lifts the gloom of depression. It puts an end to transmigration, disperses doubt, delights
the devotees and is dear to the saints. To the worshippers of ›r∂ Råma, nothing is
so dear as this (narrative of ›r∂ Råma). By the grace of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the
Raghus) Himself I have sung to the best of my ability this sacred and charming story.
In this age of Kali no other discipline is of any availóneither Yoga (mind-control) nor
sacrifices, nor Japa (muttering of prayers) not austere penance nor any sacred vows
nor ritual : Råma alone should be remembered, Råma alone should be glorified; and
it is the catalogue of Råmaís virtues alone that should be given ear to. Forswearing
perversity, my soul, adore Him whose great vow it is to sanctify the fallen, as is declared
by seers and saints, the Vedas and Puråƒas : who has not secured redemption by
worshipping ›r∂ Råma? (1ó4)
