Ravana possesses invulnerability granted by Brahma and Shiva, prompting Vishnu to promise his destruction. Hanuman receives specific divine boons: Indra grants immunity to the thunderbolt, the Sun provides one hundredth part of his radiance, and other deities offer protection from water, disease, and weapons. Rama exiles Sita due to public rumors, prioritizing duty over personal grief. He advises Shatrughna to rule Madhura but restricts his stay in Ayodhya to seven nights. Sita bears twin sons, Kusha and Lava, at Valmiki’s hermitage. Rama executes Shambuka to revive a Brahmin’s son and abandons a Rajasuya sacrifice after Bharata’s warning, accepting Lakshmana’s suggestion for an Ashvamedha. Following the slaying of Vritra and Ila’s transformation, Rama hosts a horse sacrifice. He recognizes Kusha and Lava as Sita’s sons, demanding proof of her purity before she swears fidelity. After ruling for ten thousand years, Rama banishes Lakshmana, abdicates, and departs for heaven.
The passage describes Rama’s ascension and Brahma’s promise of the Santanika world. It claims the Ramayana destroys sin, grants wealth, and ensures liberation. Reciting the epic during ancestral rites and gifting reciters is prescribed. The text asserts the narrative embodies the Gayatri and bestows the four aims of life upon listeners.
