The gist of the contents of Book X that sings the praise of Lord Hari who is the Lord of all worlds and who takes delight in the company of the bhaktas, is given here. The First Chapter speaks about the broad-minded Kshitirama, the devotee of Lord Rama, who remained deep-rooted in truth even when he was troubled by a wicked miser. The Second Chapter narrates the life of Shri Ramakrishna, who being a vaishnava by birth, did the Pooja of Devi Mahakali as desired by Her. In the Third Chapter, a brahmani gets the coveted darshan of Lord Rama as an outcome of her motherly love for Shri Ramakrishna.Again in Chapter Four, Shri Ramakrishna taught, with great ease, the eternal greatness of marvelous devotion, to God, to mahatma Totapuri. The Fifth Chapter explains how the great Keshava Chandra learnt the philosophy of the Sanatana Dharma by the grace of Shri Ramakrishna. Shri Madhuranatha became very much pleased with the unusual prima Bhakti of Shri Gadadhara, in the Sixth Chapter.
