Meaning: Born in the auspicious dynasty of the Raghus, you clasped the hand of Seeta in wedlock, O Raama. You are the one who vowed to protect ascetics and sages in the forests from Raakshasas (demons), so they could continue their penance. Weren't you coronated by profoundly learned scholars on a gem-studded throne? Oh King of AyOdhya, you protect the very sincere devotees!
