Meaning: O Mind! Raama’s prowess is beyond description by words! Is it possible to describe it ? Didn’t he perform the unbelievable feat of consigning Maaricha to the distant ocean as well as sever on the way , the head of his companion Subaahu? To satisfy a rare request; of Seetha, Sri Raama aim an arrow to sever the tail of a Chaamaari deer, which resolved to lose her life rather than her honour and pride (Chaamara is made from the tail of these deer), covered her tail with her head. Touched by its self-respect, Raama recalled the arrow already speeding on its deadly mission and saved the deer. One who delights in music, Raama’s prowess is beyond words.
