If Bharata, who brimmed over with the nectar of devotion to S∂tå and ›r∂ Råma,
had never been born, who would have practised the difficult vow of self-abnegation and
austerity and control of the mind and senses, that transcended the imagination even of
sages? Who would have dispelled the woes, burning agony, poverty, hypocrisy and
other evils of the world through his fair renown; and who in this Kali age would have
forcibly diverted the mind of villains like Tulas∂dåsa towards ›r∂ Råma?

So.: bharata carita kari nemu tulas∂ jo sådara sunahiÚ,
s∂ya råma pada pemu avasi hoi bhava rasa birati.326.
Whosoever reverently hear, says Tulas∂dåsa, the story of Bharata with strict
regularity shall assuredly acquire devotion to the feet of S∂tå and Råma and a distaste
for the pleasures of life. (326)

Thus ends the second descent into the Månasa lake
of ›r∂ Råmaís exploits, that eradicates all the
impurities of the Kali age.
