Cha≈.: liyo hædaya° låi kæpå nidhåna sujåna råya° ramåpat∂,

sukha dhåma pµuranakåma råma namåmi råma namåmi te.1.

The All-merciful Lord of Ramå (S∂tå or Lakm∂), the wisest among the wise, took and
clasped him to His bosom and, seating him very close to Him, enquired after his welfare.
Guha submitted in reply: ìNow all is well with me; for I have beheld Your lotus-feet, worthy
of adoration even to Vira¤ci (Brahmå) and Lord ›a∆kara. O blissful Råma, self-sufficient as
You are, I simply adore You; O Råma, I adore You.î That Niåda, who was low in every
respect, ›r∂ Hari clasped to His bosom as though he were Bharata himself ! A victim of
infatuation, this dull-witted Tulas∂dåsa, however, has cast out of his mind even such a
benign lord. This story of the Slayer of Råvaƒa, is not only sanctifying but vouchsafes
loving and perpetual devotion to ›r∂ Råmaís feet. Nay, it uproots lust and other evil passions
and begets true wisdom and is gladly sung by gods, the Siddhas and sages. (1-2)

Do.: samara bijaya raghub∂ra ke carita je sunahiÚ sujåna,
bijaya bibeka bibhµuti nita tinhahiÚ dehiÚ bhagavåna.121(A).
yaha kalikåla malåyatana mana kari dekhu bicåra,
‹r∂raghunåtha nåma taji nåhina åna adhåra.122(B).
The Lord rewards with everlasting victory, wisdom and worldly prosperity those
men of good understanding who listen to the stories relating to the victory of ›r∂ Råma
(the Hero of Raghuís line) in battle. Ponder well and see for yourself, O my mind: this
age of Kali is the very home of impurities. There is nothing to fall back upon in this age,
other than the name of the illustrious Lord of the Raghus. (121 A-B)

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