The three* types of audience are the towns, villages and cities on both the banks;
and the congregation of saints is the imcomparable Ayodhyå, which is the fountain of all
auspicious blessings. (39)

The beautiful Sarayµu in the form of ›r∂ Råmaís fair renown joined the heavenly
stream (Ga∆gå) of devotion to Råma. The latter was joined again by the charming stream
of the mighty Sona in the form of the martial glory of Råma with His younger brother
Lakmaƒa. Intervening the two streams of Sarayµu and Sona shines the celestial stream
of Devotion blended with noble dispassion and reason. This triple stream, which scares
away the threefold agony referred to above, headed towards the ocean of ›r∂ Råmaís
divine personality. With its source in the Månasa lake and united with the celestial river
(Ga∆gå), the Sarayµu of ›r∂ Råmaís fame will purify the mind of the pious souls who listen
to it; while the strange episodes interspersed here and there are the groves and gardens
as it were adjoining the river banks. The bridegroomís party in the wedding of Goddess
Umå (Pårvat∂) and the great Lord ›iva are the numberless aquatic creatures of various
kinds. The rejoicings and felicitations that attended the advent of ›r∂ Råma, the Chief of
Raghus represent the charm of the eddies and waves. (1ó4)
