Listen, O king of the birds, (continues KŒkabhuÜu˜˛i): this story purifies the heart and rids one of the threefold affliction and the fear of birth and death. By hearing the narrative of King RŒma’s blessed Coronation men acquire dispassion and discernment. Those men who hear or sing it with some interested motive attain happiness and prosperity of every kind; after enjoying in this world pleasures to which even gods can scarce attain they ascend to Ýr¶ RŒma’s divine Abode at the end of their earthly career. If a liberated soul, a man of dispassion and a sensual person hear it, they severally 972 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* obtain Devotion, final beatitude and everincreasing prosperity. O king of the birds, (continues KŒkabhuÜu˜˛i,) the story of Ýr¶ RŒma, that I have narrated according to my own lights, takes away the fear of birth and death and rids one of sorrow. It confirms one’s 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 AyodhyŒ) people of all classes were happy. Everybody cherished an ever-growing affection for Ýr¶ RŒma’s lotus-feet, which are adored even by Lord Ýiva, BrahmŒ (the Unborn) and the sages. Mendicants were provided with clothes of various kinds; while the twice-born (BrŒhma˜as) received gifts of every description. (1—5)
