Cau.: jaha° taha° nara raghupati guna gåvahiÚ, bai¢hi parasapara ihai sikhåvahiÚ.

Everywhere men sang the praises of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), and even
as they sat this is how they exhorted one another: ìWorship ›r∂ Råma, the Protector of
the suppliant, the home of elegance, amiability, beauty and goodness, who has lotus-like
eyes and swarthy limbs, who looks after His servants even as the eyelids guard the eyeballs,
who is armed with a splendid bow, arrows and quiver and is staunch in battle, who
delights the saints even as the sun brings joy to a bed of lotuses, who is a GaruŒa (the
king of the birds) to devour the dreadful serpent in the shape of Death, who destroys the
feeling of mineness the moment a person bows to Him in a disinterested spirit, and who
is a hunter to kill the herd of deer in the shape of greed and infatuation, a lion to quell
the elephant of concupiscence, the delight of His servants, a sun to scatter the thick
darkness of doubt and sorrow, and a fire to consume the dense forest of the demon race.
Oh, why should you not adore the Hero of Raghuís line, who is ever accompanied by
Janakaís Daughter, who dispels the fear of transmigration, who plays the role of frost to
destroy mosquitoes in the disguise of manifold latent desires, who is ever unchangeable,
unborn and imperishable, the delight of the sages, the reliever of the earthís burdens, the
munificent lord of Tulas∂dåsa.î (1ó5)

In this way the men and women of the city sang ›r∂ Råmaís praises and the Allmerciful
was ever propitious to all. (30)
