Full sarga summary

The poem concludes: this is the whole Ramayana with its Uttara Kanda, composed by Valmiki and approved by Brahma, while Vishnu abides again in heaven -- and the closing phala-shruti proclaims the boundless merit of reciting or hearing it, which grants long life, sons, wealth, freedom from sin and the world of Vishnu, being the essence of the Gayatri and the equal of the Vedas.
