Meaning: O RAma! Barring you, I have no one else to look after me. Father, mother, brothers, God - everything I see with a fulfilled heart in you, O Immaculate one! I can swear that devotion to you will not only protect a devotee but will confer salvation thereafter. There is no other way to cross this ocean of sorrow. O Bestower of prosperity. If, out of jealousy and the prosperity of your devotees, men accuse you of bias, the devotees don't come to grief provided they are gently by nature - SAtvika. I have come before you and cried out, "You are my refuge." You have responded to the appeals of devotees. SrI RamaNa! Reaching near you, I always declare, "You are my only refuge."
