27 passagesएतावदेतदाख्यानं सोत्तरं ब्रह्मपूजितम् । रामायणमिति ख्यातं मुख्यं वाल्मीकीना कृतम् ।। ७.१११.१ ।।
This narrative, to this extent, together with the sequel, honored by Brahmā, is known as the Rāmāyaṇa, the principal work made by Vālmīki.
ततः प्रतिष्ठितो विष्णुः स्वर्गलोके यथा पुरम् । येन व्याप्तमिदं सर्वं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम् ।। ७.१११.२ ।।
Thereafter Viṣṇu was established in heaven, as before—the one by whom this entire threefold world, with all that moves and does not move, is pervaded.
ततो देवाः सगन्धर्वाः सिद्धाश्च परमर्षयः । नित्यं शृण्वन्ति सन्तुष्टाः दिव्यं रामायणं दिवि ।। ७.१११.३ ।।
Then the gods, together with the Gandharvas, and the Siddhas and the supreme seers, ever listen in heaven, delighted, to the divine Rāmāyaṇa.
इदमाख्यानमायुष्यं सौभाग्यं पापनाशनम् । रामायणं वेदसमं श्राद्धेषु श्रावयेद्बुधः ।। ७.१११.४ ।।
This narrative brings long life, good fortune, and the destruction of sin. A wise man should have the Rāmāyaṇa, equal to the Veda, recited at śrāddha rites.
अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रमधनो लभते धनम् । सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्येत पदमप्यस्य यः पठेत् ।। ७.१११.५ ।।
A man without a son obtains a son; a man without wealth obtains wealth. One would be freed from all sins, if one should recite even a single word of this.
