Those who carefully recite this poem, they alone are the vigilant guardians of this
lake. And those men and women who reverently hear it everyday are the great gods
exercising jurisdiction over this Månasarovara lake. Sensual wretches are the accursed
herons and crows who never approach the lake. For here there are no varied talks of
the pleasures of sense, corresponding to snails, frogs and moss. That is why poor crows
and herons in the form of lustful men lack the heart to visit this place. For there is much
difficulty in getting to this place and it is not possible to reach it without the grace of ›r∂
Råma. Bad company, which is so obdurate, constitutes a terribly rough road; and the
words of such companions are so many tigers, lions and serpents. The various
occupations and entanglements of domestic life are huge mountains which are so difficult
to approach. Infatuation, arrogance and pride are so many inaccessible woods; and
sophisms of various kinds are frightful streams. (1ó5)

The Månasa is most inaccessible to those who lack provisions for the journey in
the shape of piety, who do not enjoy the company of saints and who have no love for
the Lord of Raghus (›r∂ Råma). (38)
