202 - Sri Rama bestows parting presents on the monkeys and the Nisada chief
Chaupais
Description
Next the All-merciful summoned the Nisada chief (Guha) and presented him with jewels and raiment as a token of His pleasure. "Now return to your home; but remember Me and follow the dictates of religion in thought, word and deed. You, My friend, are as much My brother as Bharata; you must continue to visit the capital every now and then." Guha was immensely gratified to hear these words; he fell at the Lord's feet, his eyes full of tears. Enshrining an image of His lotus feet in his heart he returned home and told his kinsmen of the Lord's amiable disposition. Witnessing the doings of Sri Rama (the Lord of the Raghus) the citizens repeatedly said, "Blessed is the All-blissful Lord !" Sri Rama's installation to the throne brought joy to all the three spheres and ended all their sorrows. No one bore enmity to another; Sri Rama's glory had obliterated all disharmony.
