Sanskrit Original
अस बिचारि प्रगटउँ निज मोहू। हरहु नाथ करि जन पर छोहू।। रास नाम कर अमित प्रभावा। संत पुरान उपनिषद गावा।। संतत जपत संभु अबिनासी। सिव भगवान ग्यान गुन रासी।। आकर चारि जीव जग अहहीं। कासीं मरत परम पद लहहीं।। सोपि राम महिमा मुनिराया। सिव उपदेसु करत करि दाया।। रामु कवन प्रभु पूछउँ तोही। कहिअ बुझाइ कृपानिधि मोही।। एक राम अवधेस कुमारा। तिन्ह कर चरित बिदित संसारा।। नारि बिरहँ दुखु लहेउ अपारा। भयहु रोषु रन रावनु मारा।।

Remembering this I disclose my folly; dispel it, taking pity on this servant, my lord! The saints as well as the Puranas and the Upani¦ads too declare that the potency of the name Rma is unlimited. The immortal Lord Siva, who is the fountain of joy and a storehouse of wisdom and goodness, incessantly repeats It.There are four broad divisions of living beings in the world; such of them as die in the holy city of Kasi (Varanasi) attain to the highest state. This too marks the glory of Sri Ramas Name, O chief of sages; for it is this very Name that Lord Siva mercifully imparts to the dying soul in Kss. I ask you, my lord, who that Rma is; pray explain to me, O storehouse of compassion. One such Rma is the prince of Ayodhy whose exploits are known throughout the world. Infinite was his sorrow due to the loss of his wife; and flying into a rage he slew Ravana in battle. (1-4)
