obtain Devotion, final beatitude and everincreasing prosperity. O king of the birds,
(continues Kåkabhu‹uƒŒi,) the story of ›r∂ Råma, that I have narrated according to my
own lights, takes away the fear of birth and death and rids one of sorrow. It confirms
oneís dispassion, discernment and devotion and is a splendid boat to take one across
the river of ignorance. Everyday there was some new rejoicing in Kosalapura (the city
of Ayodhyå) people of all classes were happy. Everybody cherished an ever-growing
affection for ›r∂ Råmaís lotus-feet, which are adored even by Lord ›iva, Brahmå (the
Unborn) and the sages. Mendicants were provided with clothes of various kinds; while
the twice-born (Bråhmaƒas) received gifts of every description. (1ó5)

The monkeys were drowned in the joy of absorption into Brahma; all were devoted to
the Lordís feet. Days rolled by them unnoticed till a period of six months had elapsed.(15)

They had forgotten their home so completely that they never thought of it even in
a dream any more than a saint would harbour ill-will towards another. The Lord of the
Raghus then called all His comrades; all came and bowed their heads with reverence.
Most lovingly He seated them by His side and addressed them in tender words, which
were the delight of devotees: ìYou have rendered unstinted service to Me; but how can
I praise you to your face? You renounced your home and comforts on My account; hence
you have endeared yourselves most to Me. My younger brothers, My crown, My fortune,
S∂tå (My spouse), My life, My home, My near and dear once are all dear to Me; but none
so dear as you; I tell you no untruth, I simply reveal My nature to you. Every master, as
a rule, loves his servant; but I, for one, am exceptionally fond of My servants. (1ó4)
