Chapter 74: Lord Rāma Visits Śabarī
Śrī Rāma and Śrī Lakṣmaṇa went to Śabarī’s āśrama on the western bank of Pampā through the path shown by Kabandha. She respectfully worshipped Them with extremely sweet fruits and roots that she had stored for a long time. Upon the request of Lord Rāma, she showed Him the effect of the austerities performed by the disciples of the great sage Mataṅga in that forest. With the permission of Lord Śrī Rāma, she then gave up her body in fire and attained a transcendental form. She then went to the divine world that her ācāryas had attained.
