ìMy lord, the two monkey brothers, N∂la, and Nala, got a boon in their childhood
from a sage. Touched by them even huge mountains will float on the ocean by Your
glory. Cherishing my lordís (Your) greatness I too shall help You to the best of my ability.
In this way, my lord, have the ocean bridged, so that this glorious achievement of Yours
may be sung in all three spheres of creation. With this arrow, my Lord, exterminate a
race of vile criminals inhabiting my northern coast.î On hearing this, ›r∂ Råma, who was
as tender-hearted as He was staunch in battle, immediately relieved the agony of
Oceanís heart. The god presiding over the ocean was rejoiced and gratified to witness
›r∂ Råmaís astounding might and valour. He related to the Lord all the doings (of those
villains); and bowing to His feet, Ocean took his leave. (1ó4)

The god presiding over the ocean left for his home; the idea (of bridging the ocean)
commended itself to the blessed Lord of the Raghus. This story (of ›r∂ Råmaís exploits in
this K僌a), which wipes out the impurities of the Kali age, has been sung by Tulas∂dåsa
according to his own (poor) lights. The excellences of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus)
are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubt and an unfailing remedy for sorrow. Therefore,
giving up all other hope and faith, ever sing and hear them, O foolish mind.
