Sanskrit Original
तात राम नहिं नर भूपाला। भुवनेस्वर कालहु कर काला।। ब्रह्म अनामय अज भगवंता। ब्यापक अजित अनादि अनंता।। गो द्विज धेनु देव हितकारी। कृपासिंधु मानुष तनुधारी।। जन रंजन भंजन खल ब्राता। बेद धर्म रच्छक सुनु भ्राता।। ताहि बयरु तजि नाइअ माथा। प्रनतारति भंजन रघुनाथा।। देहु नाथ प्रभु कहुँ बैदेही। भजहु राम बिनु हेतु सनेही।। सरन गएँ प्रभु ताहु न त्यागा। बिस्व द्रोह कृत अघ जेहि लागा।। जासु नाम त्रय ताप नसावन। सोइ प्रभु प्रगट समुझु जियँ रावन।।

Sri Rama, dear brother, is no mere human king; He is the Lord of the universe and the Death of Death himself. He is the Brahma (Absolute) who is free from the malady of Maya, the unborn God, all-pervading, invincible, without beginning or end. An ocean of compassion, He has assumed the form of a human being for the good of Earth, the Brahmana, the cow and the gods. Listen, brother: He delights His devotees and breaks the ranks of the impious and is the champion of the Vedas and true religion. Giving up enmity with Him, bow your head to Him; for the Lord of the Raghus relieves the distress of those who seek refuge in Him. My master, restore Videha's Daughter to the Lord Sri Rama, and adore Him, the disinterested friend of all. On being approached, He forsakes not even him who has incurred sin by wishing ill to the whole world. Bear this in mind, Ravana: the same Lord whose Name destroys the threefold agony has manifested Himself (in human form).
