Do.: råma nåma narakesar∂ kanakakasipu kalikåla,
jåpaka jana prahalåda jimi pålihi dali surasåla.27.
(To use another metaphor) the Name of Råma is, as it were, the Lord manifested
as a man-lion and the age of Kali; the demon Hiraƒyaka‹∂pu. Crushing this enemy of
gods, the Name will protect the devotees repeating It, even as the Man-lion protected
Prahlåda. (27)

The Name repeated either with good or evil intentions, in an angry mood or even
while yawning, diffuses joy in all the ten directions. Remembering that Name and
bowing my head to the Lord of Raghus, I proceed to recount the virtues of ›r∂ Råma.
He whose grace is never tired of showing its good-will to others will mend my errors
in everyway. Råma a noble Lord, and a poor servant like myself ! Yet, true to His
own disposition, that storehouse of compassion has fostered me. In the world as well
as in the Vedas we observe the following characteristic in a good master, viz., that
he comes to recognize oneís devotion to him as soon as he hears oneís prayer. Rich
or poor, rustic or urban, learned or unlettered, of good repute or bad, a good poet
or a bad one, all men and women extol the king according to his or her light. And
the pious, sensible, amiable and supremely compassionate ruler, who takes his descent
from a ray of God, greets all with sweet words hearing their compliments and appraising
their composition, devotion, supplication and conduct. Such is the way of earthly
monarchs, to say nothing of the Lord of Kosala (›r∂ Råma), who is the crest-jewel
