If Sitapati, Shri Rama gets pleased (with one), which accomplishment of the world remains unattainable (for him)? Is not He, the Purushottama, the bestower of all the accomplishments in this world? In Ayodhya, there was an exalted personality called Sarayudasa, who was deeply interested in Shri Ramayana, and had meditation on Shri Rama as the only object of his life. Daily, with all joy, he made the sadhus who came to him with great dedication, devotion and regardful affection listen to the holy story of Shri Rama. Once, Sarayudasa went to the bank of river Sarayu, and there he immersed in meditation on Shri Rama.
