pride was inordinate; I accounted no one as equal to me. At the sight of Your lotus feet,
however, my pride, which entailed much woe, has taken leave of me. Some people
meditate on the attributeless Brahma (the Absolute), whom the Vedas declare as
unmanifest. What attracts my mind, however, is the Supreme embodied as ›r∂ Råma,
King of Kosala. Together with Videhaís Daughter and Your younger brother (Lakmaƒa),
therefore, pray abide in my heart; and recognizing me as Your own servant, bless me
with devotion, O Abode of Ramå (Lakm∂). (1ó8)

ìGrant me devotion to Your feet, O Abode of Ramå, dispeller of fear and solace
of the suppliant. I adore You, O blissful Råma, the Lord of the Raghus, possessing the
beauty of a myriad Cupids. Delight of the hosts of heaven, Queller of contrary
experiences (like joy and sorrow etc.), appearing in a human form possessing incomparable
strength, worthy of adoration even to Brahmå (the creator) and ›a∆kara, O Råma, I bow
to You, tender as You are through compassion.î
