ग्रन्थफलश्रुतिः

Closing Instruction and Fruit

The discipline of receiving the teaching and Rāmānanda’s prayer that it dispel inward darkness.

Verses 201204

सदानुसन्धेयमिमं त्रिकालं मुमुक्षुभिस्तत्परमार्थमित्थम्। ज्ञात्वा न चैवास्ति सुवेदनीयं जिज्ञासुभिस्तैरवशिष्यमाणम्॥२०१॥

Seekers of liberation should contemplate this teaching and its supreme meaning three times daily. Having understood it, nothing essential remains unknown to the sincere inquirer.

गुरुद्रुहे नो न शठाय चेदं न नास्तिकायोपदिशेत् कदाचित्। नावैष्णवायापि रहस्यमेतन्न चाथ दैन्याहतवेदनाय॥२०२॥

This esoteric teaching is not to be entrusted to one who betrays the teacher, acts deceitfully, denies sacred reality, rejects the Vaiṣṇava path, or approaches it only with contempt and a will to diminish it.

जितेन्द्रियः प्रपन्नः सन् बुधः श्रीजानकीपतिम्। अनुष्ठाय मतं चेदं परमं स्थानमाप्नुयात्॥२०३॥

The discerning person who masters the senses, surrenders to Śrī Jānakī’s Lord, and lives this teaching attains the supreme abode.

रामानन्दप्रोक्तः श्रीवैष्णवमताब्जभास्करो भवतु। आनन्दभाष्यसोदर एषोऽन्तस्तमोविनाशाय॥२०४॥

May this *Sun That Opens the Lotus of Vaiṣṇava Teaching*, spoken by Rāmānanda and sibling to the *Ānanda-bhāṣya*, destroy the darkness within.
