dear to Me, O good lady. As for yourself, you are blessed with unflinching devotion of all
these types. The prize which is hardly won by the Yog∂s is within your easy reach today.
The most incomparable fruit of seeing Me is that the soul attains its natural state. If you
know anything about Janakaís daughter, My good lady, tell Me her news, O fair dame.î ìGo
to the Pampå lake, O Lord of Raghus; there You will make friends with Sugr∂va. He will
tell You everything, my Lord Råma, Hero of Raghuís line; You are of steady resolve and
know everything; nevertheless You ask me!î Bowing her head at the Lordís feet again and
again she lovingly related the whole story (of what the sage Mata∆ga had told her and how
eagerly she had watched His approach all the time). (1ó7)

After telling the whole story she gazed on the Lordís countenance and imprinted
the image of His lotus feet on her heart; and casting her body in the fire of Yoga she
entered ›r∂ Hariís state wherefrom there is no return. ìO men, abandon your varied
activities, sins and diverse creeds, which all give birth to sorrow, and with genuine faith,î
says Tulas∂dåsa, ì be devoted to the feet of ›r∂ Råma.î

The Lord conferred final beatitude even on a woman who was not only an outcaste
but a very mine of sin; you seek happiness, my most foolish mind, by forgetting such
a master ! (36)
