Meaning: What an extraordinary bliss is this! Is this Brahmanada, eternal and uninterrupted? Shri Rama! I feel honoured, delighted beyond measure. I have at last attained the privilege of being recognized as one belonging to you. >From those early days, I have been prostrating at your feet. I have avoided the association of unworthy men uncompromisingly. I believed firmly that my honour is your concern. I dread the sins and controlled the unbecoming desires in my heart. I installed your feet in my heart and mentally worshipped them. I have no place for passion for women. In this Kaliyuga your name is the sole basis for living. I should remind myself of this again and again for redemption from this value of sorrow, carnal pleasures have evaporated like wealth in a dream. My meditation on you has opened my eyes to this truth. Fascinated by your beauty I have fallen in love with you. I have dedicated all my lifetime to you and your service. Even Brahma, Indra or the Lord of the crescent cannot give expression to all that the mind feels and experiences. If you have really not regarded me as a stranger to you, I will consider myself as twice blessed. Are you not driving away the darkness of your cherished devotees? I have disregarded inertia and furious action and adopted incessant chanting of your names. I am convinced that you are the Embodiment of all my meritorious actions.
