ìJapa (muttering of prayers), austere penance, religious observances, Yogic
practices, the performance of oneís allotted duties, the various pious acts recommended
by the Vedas, the cultivation of spiritual enlightenment, compassion, self-control, bathing
in sacred waters and whatever other sacred practices have been advocated by the
Vedas and holy men and the recitation and hearing of various Tantra texts, Vedas and
Puråƒas have only one reward, my lord; nay, all spiritual endeavours lead to the same
glorious end, viz., unceasing devotion to Your lotus feet. Can dirt be removed by
cleansing with dirt? Can anyone obtain butter by churning water? Even so, except by
cleansing with the water of loving devotion, O Lord of the Raghus, the impurity
accumulated within can never be washed away. He alone is all-wise, he the knower of
Truth and he alone learned; he alone is an abode of virtues and possessed of
uninterrupted and immediate perception; nay, he is clever and endowed with all auspicious
attributes, who is devoted to Your lotus feet.î (1ó4)

ìMy lord, I would ask one boon; grant it in Your mercy, Råma. May my love for
Your lotus feet, O Lord, never flag in the course of my future births.î (49)

So saying, the sage Vasi¢ha returned home. The All-merciful was highly pleased
with him in His heart of hearts. ›r∂ Råma, the delight of His servants, took with Him
Hanumån as well as Bharata and His other two brothers (Lakmaƒa and ›atrughna) and
