इंद्र-बृहस्पति संवाद – Dialogue between Indra and his Guru Brihaspati

"रास्ते में असंख्य जड़-चेतन जीव थे। उनमें से जिनको प्रभु श्री रामचंद्रजी ने देखा, अथवा जिन्होंने प्रभु श्री रामचंद्रजी को देखा, वे सब (उसी समय) परमपद के अधिकारी हो गए, परन्तु अब भरतजी के दर्शन ने तो उनका भव (जन्म-मरण) रूपी रोग मिटा ही दिया। (श्री रामदर्शन से तो वे परमपद के अधिकारी ही हुए थे, परन्तु भरत दर्शन से उन्हें वह परमपद प्राप्त हो गया)॥1॥"

"Countless animate beings (animals, birds, insects) and inanimate forms (trees, shrubs, stones, and rocks) lined the path. Those whom Shri Ram beheld or who merely caught a glimpse of Him during His forest journey were blessed to receive liberation at the end of their long cycle of birth and death. But in Shri Bharat’s case, even a single sight of him bestowed immediate liberation (their present life became their final birth before attaining liberation)."
