Meaning:
O Raghava (Lord Rama)! Why do you need to conceal yourself? The Universe itself is your form,
with the sun and the moon as your eyes. By deep contemplation, inquiry, and search, I have
directly perceived that you are everything, and everything is within you. There is no place in my
mind for any other God. I solicit your protection.

Meaning:
Chief of Raghus! There is no one else to bestow affection on me and protect me other than you,
Lord of the Universe! Most exalted among men! Who else would have donated Lanka to
Vibheeshana to the delight and appreciation of Indra and others? Who else would have followed
Visvaamitra from Ayodhya and protected the sacrifice he was performing from being desecrated
by Maaricha and others? Who else could have killed the indomitable Vaali with just a simple arrow
and croned Sugriva as the king of Kishkinda? And who else can lift Tyaagaraaja from the ocean
of birth and death and lead him to salvation?
