Description
Lovely as a jasmine and a blue lotus, of surpassing strength, repositories of wisdom, endowed with natural grace, excellent bowmen, hymned by the Vedas, and lovers of the cow and the Brahmanas, who appeared in the form of mortal men through their own Maya (deluding potency) as the two noble scions of Raghu, the armours of true religion, friendly to all and journeying in quest for Sita, may they both grant us Devotion. (1) Blessed are those pious souls who ceaselessly quaff the nectar of Sri Rama's Name, churned out of the ocean of the Vedas, which completely destroys the sins of the Kali age and knows no decay, which shines ever bright in the most beautiful moon-like mouth of the glorious Sambhu (Lord Siva), a palatable remedy for the disease of transmigration and the very life of Sita (Janaka's Daughter).
