जो रामेस्वर दरसन करिहहिं । ते तनु तजि मम लोक सिधरिहहिं ॥
जो गंगा-जल आनि चढ़ाइहीं । से साजुज्य मुक्ति नर पाइहि ॥
jo rāmesvara darasana karihahiṃ | te tanu taji mama loka sidharihahiṃ ||
jo gaṃgā-jala āni car̤hāihīṃ | se sājujya mukti nara pāihi ||

What happens in this chapter
Fruit of Rameshwaram darshan, stones that float
Shri Rama names the fruit of this place. Whoever has darshan of Rameshwaram will leave the body and reach his loka. Whoever brings Ganga water and offers it here gains sayujya mukti. One who serves without desire and without guile receives devotion to Rama as Shankara's gift, and whoever sees the bridge Rama built crosses the ocean of becoming with no effort. The munis, pleased, return to their ashrams, and Shiva tells Girija that this is ever Raghupati's way: love for those who bow to him. Nala and Nila finish the bridge. Stones that drown others now float like boats. Tulsidas says this is neither the sea's virtue, nor the stones', nor the monkeys' deed. It is Raghubir's power alone.
होइ अकाम जो छल तजि सेइहि । भगति मोरि तेहि संकर देइहि ॥
मम कृत सेतु जो दरसन करिही । सो बिनु सम भव-सागर तरिही ॥
hoi akāma jo chala taji seihi | bhagati mori tehi saṃkara deihi ||
mama kṛta setu jo darasana karihī | so binu sama bhava-sāgara tarihī ||
राम बचन सब के जिय भाये । मुनिबर निज निज आश्रम आये ॥
गिरिजा रघुपति कै यह रीती । सन्तत करहिं प्रनत पर प्रीती ॥
rāma bacana saba ke jiya bhāye | munibara nija nija āśrama āye ||
girijā raghupati kai yaha rītī | santata karahiṃ pranata para prītī ||
बाँधा सेतु नील-नल-नागर । राम कृपाँ-जस भयउ उजागर ॥
बूड़हिँ आनहिँ बोरहिँ जेई । भये उपल बोहित सम तेई ॥
bām̐dhā setu nīla-nala-nāgara | rāma kṛpām̐-jasa bhayau ujāgara ||
būr̤ahim̐ ānahim̐ borahim̐ jeī | bhaye upala bohita sama teī ||
महिमा यह न जलधि के बरनी । पाहन गुन न कपिन्ह कै करनी ॥
mahimā yaha na jaladhi ke baranī | pāhana guna na kapinha kai karanī ||
श्रीरघुबीर प्रताप ते, सिन्धु तरे पाषान ।
ते मतिमंद जे राम तजि, भजहिँ जाइ प्रभु आन ॥
śrīraghubīra pratāpa te, sindhu tare pāṣāna |
te matimaṃda je rāma taji, bhajahim̐ jāi prabhu āna ||
