This one request, if I may say,
That with Hanuman I prefer to stay.
Knowing full well unworthy of this honor,
Why Ramadutta’s concentration to bother?
But from name alone to give smile to my face,
Right path in life his deeds to trace.
Devotion to Rama, the right way I know,
Follow it purely and to Him we’ll go.
But Hanuman brings Lakshmana and Sita the wife,
Thus by him alone complete is my life.
Beg for at least Hanuman in thought,
Who life-giving herb to Lakshmana brought.
Krishna with Arjuna to stand,
Ready for mighty task at hand.
Greatest fighters assembled for war,
Old friends and enemies settling score.
Arjuna’s cousin and charioteer by side,
Krishna, in hearts of all creatures to reside.
Janardana there more for than just war’s dash,
Arjuna’s misgivings and ignorance to slash.
Armed with knowledge, Partha ready to fight,
Prepared for vanquishing all enemies in sight.
Dear Lord, please doubts remove too,
Of this worthless, pretending fool.
All good qualities in her to sit,
Thus for glorification no limit.
With others time spent what to happen?
Even friendship and love do sadden.
The glories of Sita can sing day after day,
My favorite of all, dare I may say.
From her Rama as most fortunate to register,
Nowhere in universe a wife of such caliber.
