Sanskrit Original
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 गावहि सुनहि संतत सठ मना।।
nija bhavana gavanēu 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 bharōsa gāvahi sunahi saṃtata saṭha manā
The god presiding over the ocean left for his home; the idea (of bridging the ocean) commended itself to the blessed Lord of the Raghus. This story (of Sri Rama's exploits in this Kanda), which wipes out the impurities of the Kali age, has been sung by Tulasidasa according to his own (poor) lights. The excellences of Sri Rama (the Lord of the Raghus) are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubt and an unfailing remedy for sorrow. Therefore, giving up all other hope and faith, ever sing and hear them, O foolish mind.
