Jai Sri Ram,
The Manasa is most inaccessible to those who lack provisions for the journey in the shape of piety, who do not enjoy the company of saints and who have no love for Rama, even if anyone makes his way to it undergoing so much hardship, is forthwith attacked by ague in the shape of drowsiness,
Benumbing cold in the shape of stupor overtakes his heart, so that the unhappy soul is deprived of a dip even after reaching there,
Finding himself unable to take a plunge into the lake or to drink from it, he returns with a feeling of pride, and if anyone comes to inquire about the lake, he tries to satisfy him by verifying him,
All these obstacle do not, however, deter him whom Sri Rama regards with overwhelming kindness, he alone reverently bathes in the lake and thus escapes the threefold agony of the fiercest kind,
Jai Siya Ram
