And whoever brings you some other wish — anything else at all they have set their mind on —
that person gets the fruit of it, and there is no measuring how much.
Aura — "and, further, besides" — is doing the joinery. The stanza before this one has just said that Hanumān arranged every task of Rāma the ascetic king. This one begins: and whatever else anyone brings. The great commissions are finished, and the line turns to the ordinary traffic of people wanting things.
Manoratha is two words pressed together: manas, mind, and ratha, chariot. A mind-chariot — the wish the mind has harnessed itself to and is being carried along by. Awadhi and Hindi use it for a cherished ambition rather than an idle want. The distinction matters for reading the line: this is not the small wish you have and forget by lunchtime, it is the one you are still driving at.
Then lāvai, brings. The verb asks for an act. Something has to be carried and set down in front of someone. A wish that stays where it is has not been brought.
Amita is the negative of mita, measured — unmeasured, without a bound set on it. Jīvana phala is read two ways in the printed commentaries: the fruit of this life, and fruit that outlasts a life. Both are available in the Awadhi and neither has to win. What the line says is that the fruit is not counted out in a quantity, which is the one thing a wish, by its nature, always is.
Bring the wish, receive the fruit without limit — and the couplet says it in that order. Something has to be carried and set down before anything at all is said about what follows it.
What is something you have wanted for a long time — long enough that you still want it today?
