फल-विवेचन प्रगट अवध सेवन सजै, गोप होत तेहि लाह । युगल अनन्य शरण सुधा, सागर मत अवगाह ॥ परम कृपा सौलभ्य गुन, सिंधु अवध हितकारि । सेइये मन क्रम बचन करि, विविधि वासना वारि ॥ गुप्त प्रगट अन्तर लखब, उभय एकता रूप । युगल अनन्य अजान मन, पचत परत तम कूप ॥ विरजा पार अवध अमल, केवल वैभव वान । भारत वर्ष अवध उभय, रहस सहित रसखान ॥ मरमी जन जानहिं अवध, अमल प्रभाव अनूप । वृथा बिगोवत वेश वद, वादि परै तम कूप ॥ रसजनन को अभित अति, अवध स्वरूप विचित्र । युगल अनन्य शरण लखै, सब विधि प्रेम पवित्र ॥ युगल अवध रस एक नित, जहँ रुचि तहँ प्रवेश । युगल अनन्य शरण चहत, प्रगट अवध आवेश ॥ श्रीवशिष्ठ मुनि संहिता, मांझ उभय निर्धार । पै विशेष यहि अवध को, कीन्हो भली प्रकार ॥ ताते रसिक अनन्य जन, ऊरध गमन बिसारि । छिति मंडल साकेत पुर, वास सजै पन धारि ॥ प्रकृति पार श्री अवधपुर, ऊरध अधर आधार । कथन मात्र राजहिं रसा, समुझहिं सुबुध विचार ॥ फल स्वरूप बरन्यो विमल, अर्थ तुरीय अनूप । पंचम अर्थ सुचित्त दै, सुनिये सुजन स्वरूप ॥

One who adorns oneself with service to manifest Ayodhyā secretly gains the hidden realm. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: immerse your understanding in this ocean of nectar. Ayodhyā is an ocean of supreme grace, accessibility, and benevolent virtues. Serve it with mind, action, and speech, checking the many currents of desire. Seeing hidden and manifest as different misses their essential unity. The ignorant mind, Yugalānanya says, falls into a dark well and is consumed. Stainless Ayodhyā beyond Virajā is endowed solely with divine majesty, while Ayodhyā in Bhāratavarṣa is a treasury of rasa joined to secret meaning. Those who know the mystery understand Ayodhyā’s incomparable stainless power; sectarian disputants merely waste themselves and fall into darkness. Ayodhyā’s wondrous nature is exceedingly dear to people of rasa. Yugalānanya’s surrendered one sees it as pure love in every way. The Couple and Ayodhyā are eternally a single rasa: wherever one’s taste lies, enter there. Yugalānanya’s refuge desires inspired possession by manifest Ayodhyā. The Vasiṣṭha Saṃhitā establishes both forms, yet gives this Ayodhyā a special treatment. Therefore exclusive rasikas forget ascent to higher worlds and vow to adorn themselves with residence in Sāketa upon earth. Sacred Ayodhyā beyond nature is the support of above and below, but these are merely modes of speech in rasa, as the wise understand through reflection. Thus the stainless nature of the fruit, the incomparable fourth truth, has been described. Good people, give a pure heart and hear the form of the fifth truth.
