Origin & Story

Ramcharitmanas, Sundarkand — concluding chhanda and doha 60 (Goswami Tulsidas) · Goswami Tulsidas · 16th century CE (c. 1574)

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.

✦ As told in scripture

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.

Meaning:The Ocean returned to his own abode, and this counsel pleased Sri Raghupati. This sacred story, which washes away the impurities of the Kali age, servant Tulsidas has sung to the best of his understanding. The host of Raghupati's virtues is the very home of happiness, the dispeller of doubt and the destroyer of grief — so, O foolish mind, give up every other hope and support, and sing and hear them forever.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

They form the concluding benediction of the Sundarkand (the fifth book) of Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas — the well-known chhanda beginning 'Sukh Bhavan Sansay Saman' and the final doha (60) 'Sakal Sumangal Dayak Raghunayak Gun Gaan'.

A phalashruti is a closing passage that declares the fruits or benefits of reciting a text. Here Tulsidas states that singing and hearing Rama's virtues bestows happiness, removes doubt and grief, and ferries the devotee across the ocean of worldly existence.

The Sundarkand recounts Hanuman's heroic, successful mission to Lanka and is regarded as the most auspicious and 'beautiful' (sundar) book of the Ramcharitmanas — associated with success, courage and the removal of obstacles. These closing verses seal that recitation with a promise of grace.

It is a metaphor: just as Hanuman crossed the literal ocean to reach Sita, those who reverently hear Rama's glory cross the metaphorical ocean of birth and death (bhava-sagar) effortlessly, carried by devotion alone, needing no other means.
