As is well-known to all, Ýr¶ RŒma extended His protection to two devotees only, viz., Sugr¶va and Vibh¶ƒa˜a; His Name, on the other hand, has showered Its grace on numerous humble souls. This superb glory of the Name shines forth in the world as well as in the Vedas. Ýr¶ RŒma collected an army of bears and monkeys and took no little pains over the construction of a bridge (to connect the mainland with the island of La˘kŒ). Through the repetition of His Name, however, the ocean of mundane existence itself gets dried up: let the wise bear this in mind. Ýr¶ RŒma killed in battle RŒva˜a with all his family and returned to His own city with S¶tŒ. He was then crowned king in the capital of AyodhyŒ, while gods and sages sung His glories in choicest phrases. His servants are, however, able to conquer the formidable army of error by fondly remembering His Name and, absorbed in devotion, move about in joy which is peculiarly their own; by the grace of the Name they know not sorrow even in dream.
