फल-विवेचन पुरुषार्थ पंचम पुरुषारथ सुखसारा । सुनिये जहाँ सनेह संचारा ॥ वपु प्रारब्ध प्रलय करि नीके । समुझि सुकृत दुइ जाति फीके ॥ षट् विकार युत तीनों तापा । त्याग दुखद संकल्प अलापा ॥ सियवर रूप अनूप सुहावन । तज्यो ज्ञान विपरीत अपावन ॥ संसृति हेतु रूप दुखदाई । निज स्वरूप बिस्मरन बिहाई ॥ स्वर्ग मोक्ष अभिलाष बिसारी । केवल ललन मिलन पन धारी ॥ वपु चौबीस तत्त्व कृत त्यागी । समुझि हेयतर प्रभु अनुरागी ॥ श्रीसियराम मिलन अभिलाषे । मायिक गुन गति श्रम विन नाशे ॥ प्रान सुषमना द्वार निकारी । भाल भेदि गये धाम खरारी ॥ केवल सूक्ष्म तन से गमनो । विधिलोभवदिशि ते अति बिमनो ॥ अर्चिरादि पथ होय प्रवीना । रवि मंडल छेद्यो अति कोना ॥ प्रकृति आवरन उतरि बहोरी । विरजा सरित लख्यो रंग बोरी ॥ तेहि सरि मज्जन करि बड़भागी । लिंगदेह सब विधि तेहि त्यागी ॥ कारनतन वासना विनासी । शुद्ध भयो बहुविधि सुखरासी ॥ विरजा पार भयो अनयासा । निज संकल्प सहित गत आशा ॥ अमल अमानव कर पर परस्यो । महाप्रेम सागर सुख सरस्यो ॥ त्रिगुन रहित वपु विरजा विलासी । दिव्य भव्य आनंद निवासी ॥ सदा प्रकाश रूप शुचि सुन्दर । जेहि लखि लज्जित अमित पुरंदर ॥ सियवर रूप प्रकाश सुहावन । भाजन भयो भयो छवि छावन ॥ निरबधि तेजतरंग बल पाई । हिय उत्साह अपार बढ़ाई ॥ चल्यो मानव दर्शित मारग । तिनवर विपिन लख्यो गुनपारग ॥ सुभग सरोवर तहाँ निहारी । रम्य दीप्त वर नाम बिहारी ॥ तेहि सर मज्जन करि युत प्रीती । सोम श्रवन वटतट अभिगीती ॥ निरखत नैन महामुद मात्यो । रास रहस सुखमा छवि रात्यो ॥ तेहि तर दिव्य महामणि मंडित । वेदी विशद विभास अखंडित ॥

Hear the fifth human aim, the essence of happiness, through which love flows. When the destined body is properly dissolved, merit and demerit alike are understood to have become insipid. The three afflictions joined to the six transformations are abandoned, together with painful imagining and talk. Having rejected impure knowledge opposed to it, the soul beholds the charming, incomparable form of Sītā’s Lord. It abandons the sorrow-giving form that causes transmigration and the forgetfulness of its own nature. Forgetting the desire for heaven and liberation, it takes a single vow: meeting the divine Lady and her Lord. The loving devotee regards the body made of twenty-four principles as utterly rejectable and abandons it. Longing to meet Sītā and Rāma, the soul effortlessly destroys the movement of māyā’s qualities. It sends the life-breath through the central channel, pierces the brow, and goes to the slayer of Khara’s Abode. Travelling only in the subtle body, it is wholly disenchanted with Brahmā’s sphere and the other directions. Becoming adept upon the path beginning with light, it pierces the solar sphere at its remotest point, descends beyond nature’s covering, and sees the Virajā river steeped in colour. The fortunate soul bathes in that river and leaves the subtle sign-body there in every respect. The causal body’s desires perish; purified, the soul becomes a treasury of manifold happiness. It crosses Virajā effortlessly, its hopes gone together with private intention. A stainless, more-than-human hand touches it, and it is immersed in the joyous ocean of great love. A body free of the three qualities, sporting beyond impurity, becomes a divine and magnificent dwelling of bliss—always luminous, stainless, and beautiful, making countless Indras ashamed. It becomes a fit vessel for the charming revelation of Sītā’s Lord’s form and a shelter for that radiance. Receiving the force of boundless waves of splendour, its heart’s enthusiasm grows immeasurably. It follows the path shown by the divine guide and sees a supreme forest whose virtues cross every limit. There it beholds a lovely lake, radiant and excellent, called Bihārī. Bathing in it with love, hearing songs beneath the banyan by the moon-bright bank, its eyes become intoxicated with immense delight and absorbed in the splendour of the secret rasa-play. Beneath the tree stands a pure, unbroken, radiant dais adorned with great divine jewels.
