Where saints sit in assembly and converse at every watch, knowledge and dispassion stand as gatekeepers. Forgiveness is the parasol overhead, Hari's Name the treasury, discernment the peace, contentment the delight. Equality is Rāmacaraṇa's throne; love and compassion compose the new court. At that door the desired alms are received when one begs with longing born of pain. In the dohas, holy company is milk and touchstone, the radiant lamp of age after age. Without joining its color, neither the iron of pride nor its water finds transformation. The Veda is ocean, the saint's mouth a cloud, and Śyāma's fame the rain of Svāti; fool and serpent, cātaka and pearl-oyster, and devotee alike find in you a lovely wish-fulfilling tree. Every abode is the abode of rasa; the Name's rasa reveals Brahman. Hearing the generosity of the saints' assembly, the Veda becomes free of sorrow. Body thrilled and eyes wet, the four Vedas fold their hands in reverence and again praise in bliss. The colophon closes the thirteenth avakāśa, which explains yoga, dispassion, knowledge, realization, devotion, and holy company. The fourteenth opens in pramāṇikā meter: 'I bow to the connoisseur of rāsa, Lord of the companions, the primordial indwelling Lord, whose moonlike face streams nectar and destroys every torment. O Lord, foremost among people and foremost in rasa, leader under heaven, foremost in compassion, forgiveness, yoga, and equality.'
