bow and an arrow, O Lord of the three worlds ! The ornament of the solar race, You
broke the bow of the great Lord ›iva. Delighting the greatest sages and saints, You
crush the host of demons ( the enemies of gods ). You are an object of reverence to Lord
›iva, and are adored by Brahmå and other divinities. An embodiment of pure consciousness,
You destroy all evils. I bow to Lakm∂ís lord, the fountain of joy and the salvation of
saints. I adore You with Your Spouse (S∂tå) and younger brother (Lakmaƒa), Yourself
a beloved younger Brother* of Indra ( ›ach∂ís lord). Men who worship the sole of Your
feet and are free from jealousy sink not into the ocean of metempsychosis, turbulent with
the billows of wrangling. They who, living in seclusion, constantly worship You with their
senses and mind etc., fully subdued for the sake of attaining liberation are able to realize
their own self. I adore Him, the mysterious Lord, who is one (without a second),
desireless, all-powerful and omnipresent, the teacher of the world, eternal, transcending
the three Guƒas (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas) and absolute (self-existent). I adore Him
who is fond of devotion, who is most difficult of access to sensually-minded strivers but
who is a wish-yielding tree to His own devotees, nay, who is impartial and so easy to
worship from day to day. I bow to S∂tåís lord, King Råma of matchless beauty. I
reverence You; be gracious to me and grant me devotion to Your lotus feet. Men who
recite this hymn with reverence undoubtedly attain Your abode, acquiring devotion to
Your feet at the same time.î (1ó12)

Having prayed thus the sage bowed his head, and joining his palms spoke again:
ìMy mind, O Lord, may never abandon Your lotus feet.î (4)
