ìGlory to ›r∂ Råma of incomparable beauty, who is absolute as well as qualified
and the true impeller of Guƒas (Måyå) too. His fierce arrows are potent enough to cut
off the terrible arms of the ten-headed Råvaƒa. I incessantly adore the all-merciful ›r∂
Råma, the ornament of the earth, who is endowed with a form dark as the rain-cloud, a
face resembling the blue lotus and large eyes resembling the red lotus. Possessed of
long arms, He rids His devotees of the fear of transmigration. His strength is immeasurable;
He is without beginning and unborn, the one (without a second), unmanifest and

the delighter of the soul of countless saints and devotees who repeat the sacred Name
of Råma. I ever extol ›r∂ Råma, who loves and is loved by those who are free from
desire and curbs the host of vicious propensities such as lust and so on. He, whom the
Vedas glorify under the name of Brahma, pure (free from the taint of Måyå), all-pervading,

become manifest as the very incarnation of beauty and enraptures the whole animate
and inanimate creation. He is the bee that resides in the lotus of my heart and through
every limb of His shines the splendour of many a god of love. He, who is at once
