अब चित चेति चित्रकूटहि चलु। कोपित कलि, लोपित मंगल मगु, बिलसत बढ़त मोह-माया-मलु॥ १॥ भूमि बिलोकु राम-पद-अंकित, बन बिलोकु रघुबर-बिहारथलु। सैल-सृंग भवभंग-हेतु लखु, दलन कपट-पाखंड-दंभ-दलु॥ २॥ जहँ जनमे जग-जनक जगतपति, बिधि-हरि-हर परिहरि प्रपंच छलु। सकृत प्रबेस करत जेहि आस्त्रम, बिगत-बिषाद भये पारथ नलु॥ ३॥ न करु बिलंब बिचारु चारुमति, बरष पाछिले सम अगिले पलु। मंत्र सो जाइ जपहि, सो जपि भे, अजर अमर हर अचइ हलाहलु॥ ४॥ रामनाम-जप जाग करत नित, मज्जत पय पावन पीवत जलु। करिहैं राम भावतौ मनकौ, सुख-साधन, अनयास महाफलु॥ ५॥ कामदमनि कामता, कलपतरु सो जुग-जुग जागत जगतीतलु। तुलसी तोहि बिसेषि बूझिये, एक प्रतीति-प्रीति एकै बलु॥ ६॥
Now awaken, mind, and go to Chitrakut. Kali is enraged, the auspicious path has vanished, and the grime of delusion and illusion flaunts itself and grows. (1) Look upon the ground marked by Rama's feet; behold the forest where Raghubara wandered. See the mountain peaks that end becoming and crush the hosts of deceit, hypocrisy and pride. (2) There the fathers of the world—the Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva—were born, abandoning the deceits of manifestation. Entering that hermitage only once, Partha and Nala were freed from grief. (3) Do not delay, discerning mind; regard each coming moment as equal to the years already gone. Go and repeat that mantra by which Hara, repeating it, became ageless and deathless even while consuming deadly poison. (4) Daily perform the sacrifice of repeating Rama's name, bathing in the Payasvini and drinking its sacred water. Rama will fulfill your heart's desire and, through this joyful practice, effortlessly grant the great fruit. (5) Kamadgiri is a wish-fulfilling jewel and wish-giving tree, shining age after age upon the earth. Tulsidas, understand it as especially meant for you: one trust, one love, one sole strength. (6)
