Cau.: svåratha så° ca j∂va kahu° ehå, mana krama bacana råma pada nehå.
soi påvana soi subhaga sar∂rå, jo tanu påi bhajia raghub∂rå.1.
råma bimukha lahi bidhi sama deh∂, kabi kobida na prasa≈sahiÚ teh∂.
råma bhagati ehiÚ tana ura jåm∂, tåte mohi parama priya svåm∂.2.
tajau° na tana nija icchå maranå, tana binu beda bhajana nahiÚ baranå.
prathama moha° mohi bahuta bigovå, råma bimukha sukha kabahu° na sovå.3.
nånå janama karma puni nånå, kie joga japa tapa makha dånå.
kavana joni janameu° jaha° nåh∂°, maiÚ khagesa bhrami bhrami jaga måh∂°.4.

sudhi mohi nåtha janma bahu ker∂, siva prasåda mati moha° na gher∂.5.
The real self-interest of every living creature lies in cultivating devotion to ›r∂
Råmaís feet in thought, word and deed. That body alone is sacred and that alone
blessed, in which one is able to worship the Hero of Raghuís line. The wise and the
learned never extol him who is hostile to ›r∂ Råma, even though he may acquire a body
as exalted as that of Brahmå (the Creator) himself, Devotion to ›r∂ Råma took root in my
heart in this very body; hence I hold it supremely dear, my master. Although my death
depends on my own will, I refuse to quit this body, becauseóas the Vedas declareó
adoration of the Lord is not possible without a corporeal frame. At first infatuation gave
me much trouble; so long as I remained hostile to ›r∂ Råma I never had a restful sleep.
Through a number births I practised Yoga (concentration of mind), Japa (muttering of
prayers), austere penance and charity and performed sacrifices and other acts of
various kinds. Which species is there in this world, O lord of the winged creatures, in
which I have not at sometime been born during my round of births? I have had
experience of all kinds of pursuits, my lord; but I was never so happy as I am now. I
recollect many previous existences, my lord, in which by ›ivaís grace my understanding
was not clouded by infatuation. (1ó5)
