ìRemembering this I disclose my folly; dispel it, taking pity on this servant, my lord!
The saints as well as the Puråƒas and the Upaniads too declare that the potency of the
name ëRåmaí is unlimited. The immortal Lord ›iva, who is the fountain of joy and a
storehouse of wisdom and goodness, incessantly repeats It.There are four broad
divisions of living beings in the world; such of them as die in the holy city of Kå‹∂
(Våråƒas∂) attain to the highest state. This too marks the glory of ›r∂ Råmaís Name, O
chief of sages; for it is this very Name that Lord ›iva mercifully imparts to the dying soul
in Kå‹∂. I ask you, my lord, who that Råma is; pray explain to me, O storehouse of
compassion. One such Råma is the prince of Ayodhyå whose exploits are known
throughout the world. Infinite was his sorrow due to the loss of his wife; and flying into
a rage he slew Råvaƒa in battle.î (1ó4)

ìIs it this very, Råma, my lord, or some one else whose name the Slayer of the
demon Tripura, ›iva, ever repeats? You are an embodiment of truth and omniscient; so
ponder well and give me your considered reply.î (46)
