Verse 1#

निज भवन गवनेउ सिंधु श्रीरघुपतिहि यह मत भायऊ। यह चरित कलि मलहर जथामति दास तुलसी गायऊ॥ सुख भवन संसय समन दवन बिषाद रघुपति गुन गना। तजि सकल आस भरोस गावहिं सुनहिं संतत सठ मना॥

nija bhavana gavaneu siṃdhu śrīraghupatihi yaha mata bhāyaū yaha carita kali malahara jathāmati dāsa tulasī gāyaū sukha bhavana saṃsaya samana davana biṣāda raghupati guna ganā taji sakala āsa bharosa gāvahiṃ sunahiṃ saṃtata saṭha manā

Meaningसमुद्र अपने भवन को लौट गया और यह मत श्रीरघुपति को अच्छा लगा। कलियुग के मल को हरने वाले इस चरित्र को दास तुलसी ने अपनी बुद्धि के अनुसार गाया है। श्रीरघुपति के गुण-समूह सुख के धाम, संशय के नाशक और विषाद के दमन करने वाले हैं — इसलिए हे मूर्ख मन! समस्त आशा और भरोसे को छोड़कर इन्हें निरंतर गाओ और सुनो।

Origin & History

Source: Ramcharitmanas, Sundarkand — concluding chhanda and doha 60 (Goswami Tulsidas)

Author: Goswami Tulsidas

Period: 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do these verses come from?▼

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'.

What is a phalashruti?▼

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.

Why is the Sundarkand recited so often?▼

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.

What does 'crossing the ocean without a boat' mean?▼

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.
