ìInstall the image of ›r∂ Råmaís lotus feet in your heart and enjoy the uninterrupted
sovereignty of La∆kå. The glory of the sage Pulastya (your grandfather) shines like the
moon without its spot; be not a speck in that moon. Speech is charmless without ›r∂
Råmaís name. Ponder and see for yourself, casting aside arrogance and infatuation. A
fair lady without clothes, O enemy of gods, does not commend herself even though
adorned with all kinds of jewels. The fortune and lordship of a man who is hostile to
Råma eventually leave him even if they stay a while, and are as good as lost if acquired
anew. Rivers that have no perennial source get dried up as soon as the rains are over.
Listen, O ten-headed Råvaƒa, I tell you on oath: there is none to save him who is
opposed to ›r∂ Råma. ›a∆kara, Viƒu and Brahmå* in their thousands are unable to
protect you, an enemy of ›r∂ Råma.î

ìAbandon pride, which is the same as Tamoguƒa (darkness), rooted as it is in
ignorance and is a source of considerable pain; and adore Lord ›r∂ Råma, the Chief of
the Raghus and an ocean of compassion.î (23)
