How to Chant Sukh Bhavan Sansay Saman (Sundarkand Phalashruti)
Instructions
Recite this chhanda and doha at the close of a Sundarkand reading as its phalashruti (statement of fruits), with reverence and folded hands. Many devotees read the entire Sundarkand on Tuesdays or Saturdays and finish with these verses before the aarti. It may also be recited on its own as a powerful summary prayer affirming faith in Rama's name and surrendering all other reliance to Him.
Spiritual Significance
These verses promise that the mere reverent hearing of Rama's virtues ferries one across the ocean of birth and death 'without a boat'; devotees who complete the Sundarkand with this phalashruti report the lifting of long-standing doubts, fears and sorrows, attributing it to the assurance Tulsidas records here.
Origin & History
Source: Ramcharitmanas, Sundarkand — concluding chhanda and doha 60 (Goswami Tulsidas)
Author: Goswami Tulsidas
The Sundarkand of the Ramcharitmanas closes after the Ocean-god humbly counsels Rama on how to bridge the sea to Lanka and returns to his abode. Pleased, Rama accepts the plan, and Tulsidas seals the book with this benedictory chhanda and doha. He praises the recounting of Rama's virtues as the home of happiness and the cure for doubt and sorrow, exhorting the mind to rely on Rama alone, and promises that all who hear this glory with reverence will cross the ocean of worldly existence without any vessel.
