Rama bestowed on his mother Kausalya the form of Rama, for Rama dwelt in her mind, her contemplation, and her thoughts; whoso accepts this without doubt, he is turned into Rama himself. All the people of Ayodhya became Rama; the monkeys remembering Janaki assumed the form of Rama. Lo! to Ravana Lanka became as Rama himself. Whoso contemplates Rama continually, Tuka bows down on his feet.
