maharshi matang ne samajik bahishkar svikar kiya, kintu sharanagata shabari ka tyag nahian kiya. maharshi ka ant nikat tha. unake viyog ki kalpana matr se shabari vyakul ho gayi. maharshi ne use nikat bulakar samajhaya- beti! dhairy se kasht sahan karati huee sadhana mean lagi rahanaan prabhu ram ek din teri kutiya mean avashy ayeange. prabhu ki drishti mean koee din-hin aur asprishy nahian hai. ve to bhav ke bhookhe haian aur antar ki priti par rijhate haian.' shabari ka man apratyashit anand se bhar gaya aur maharshi ki jivan-lila samapt ho gayi.
shabari ab vriddha ho gayi thi.'prabhu ayeange' gurudev ki yah vani usake kanoan mean gooanjati rahati thi aur isi vishvas par vah karmakandi rrishiyoan ke anachar shanti se sahati huee apani sadhana mean lagi rahi. vah nity bhagavan ke darshan ki lalasa se apani kutiya ko saph karati, unake bhog ke liye phal lakar rakhati. akhir shabari ki pratiksha poori huee. abhi vah bhagavan ke bhog ke liye mithe-mithe phaloan ka chakhakar aur unhean dhokar donoan mean saja hi rahi thi ki achanak ek vriddh ne use soochana di- 'shabari! tere ram bhrata sahit a rahe haian.' vriddh ke shabdoan ne shabari mean navin chetana ka sanchar kar diya. vah bina lakut liye h dab di mean bhagi. shri ram ko dekhate hi vah nihal ho gayi aur unake charanoan mean lot gayi. deh ki sudh bhoolakar vah shri ram ke charanoan ko apane ashrujal se dhone lagi. kisi tarah bhagavan shri ram ne use uthaya. ab vah age-age unhean marg dikhati apani kutiya ki or chalane lagi. kutiya mean pahuanch kar usane bhagavan ka charan dhokar unhean asan par bithaya. phaloan ke done unake samane rakhakar vah snehasikt vani mean boli- 'prabhu! maian apako apane hathoan se phal khilaooangi. khaoge n bhilani ke hath ke phal? vaise to nari jati hi adham hai aur maian to antyaj, moodh aur ganvar hooan. 'kahate-kahate shabari ki vani rook gayi aur usake netroan se ashrujal chhalak p de.
shri ram ne kaha-'boodhi maan! maian to ek bhakti ka hi nata manata hooan. jati-pati, kul, dharm sab mere samane gaun haian. mujhe bhookh lag rahi hai, jaldi se mujhe phal khilakar tript kar do.' shabari bhagavan ko phal khilati ati thi aur ve bar-bar maangakar khate jate the. maharshi matang ki vani aj saty ho gayi aur poorn ho gayi shabari ki sadhana. usane bhagavan ko sita ki khoj ke liye sugriv se mitrata karane ki salah di aur svayan ko yogagni mean bhasm karake sada ke liye shri ram ke charanoan mean lin ho gayi. shri ram-bhakti ki anupam patr shabari dhany hai.
