Devotion to Ragunatha is the life-giving herb (to be used as a recipe) and a mind full of faith the vehicle in which it is administered. By this process the diseases will assuredly be healed; otherwise all our efforts go for nothing.

The mind should be accounted as cured, my lord, only when the heart gathers strength in detachment, and good sense, the appetite, grows stronger every day and the weakness of material hopes recedes from view.

(Being thus rid of all diseases) when the soul bathes in the pure, pellucid stream of divine knowledge, the heart is suffused with faith in Rama, Shiva, Brahma, Shukadeva, Sanaka and his three brothers. Narada and other sages adept in the investigation of the divine.

All agree, O king of birds, in the doctrine that one must practise devotion to Rama’s lotus feet. The Vedas and Puranas and all other scriptures proclaim that without practising devotion to Raghunatha there can be no happiness.

It would be easier for hair to grow on the shell of a tortoise, or for the son of a barren woman to commit murder, or for flowers of all sorts to bloom in the sky than for a soul to find happiness if it be hostile to Hari.

Sooner may thirst be quenched by drinking at a mirage, or horns sprout on a hare’s head, or darkness efface the sun than a creature with his face turned against Rama find happiness.

Sooner may fire spring to light from snow than anyone at odds with Rama enjoy happiness.
