The Twenty-third Hundredth Chapter
He who conquered the youthful sun, who subdued the full moon's orb, who was exceedingly strong, who was worshipped by the Jiva-Indra, Sita, due to past affection or because of his righteous conduct, and who attained supreme prosperity, salute that Muni-chief, Sri Ramachandra. || 146-150 ||
He who was the eighth among the Baladevas, whose body was exceedingly pure, who was glorious, who was the bearer of infinite strength, who was adorned with hundreds of thousands of rules, and whose all vices were destroyed. || 151 ||
He who was the bearer of many virtues and hundreds of thousands of excellent qualities, whose fame was exceedingly pure, who was generous, who was endowed with the lamp of knowledge, who was spotless, and whose brilliant fame spread throughout the three worlds, salute that Sri Rama. || 152 ||
He who burnt the veil of karma, who was the ocean of profound virtues, whose agitation had ceased, who was unshakable like Mount Mandara, and who followed the righteous conduct of the Shramanas, salute that Sri Rama. || 153 ||
He who destroyed the enemies of passions, who renounced all dualities completely, who attained the supreme lordship of the three worlds, who was devoted to the teachings of the Jina, who had eradicated the dust of sin, who was absorbed in right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, who was the destroyer of the world, and who was eager to destroy all suffering, salute that Muni-chief, Sri Rama. || 154-155 ||
The words "Cheshtita", "Anagha", "Charita", "Karana", and "Charitra" are all synonymous, therefore, Rama's actions are called Ramayana. || 156 ||
He whose heart is filled with wonder and joy, and from whose mind all doubts have vanished, such a person who reads or listens to the story of Baldeva with a devotional mind every day, attains an increase in his lifespan and accumulates merit. Even an enemy with a sword in his hand does not harbor any animosity towards him, and his anger subsides. || 157-158 ||
Salute. || 148 ||
