Incarnation of Divine Vedas to state,

One way to know Rama just how great.

At those serving Him just see,

How pious, and of ignorance free.

Dedicated, of personal concern not a care,

Like Hanuman bravely over ocean to dare.

Sita torture from Rakshasis accepting,

Rescue from husband soon expecting.

Unfair, pious Sita now in sorrow,

Time standing still, never to come tomorrow.

But death on the horizon still,

Soon arrows the air to fill.

Weight of sin for Ravana too much,

Soon on Lanka’s shore Hanuman to touch.

All part of Shri Rama’s divine plan,

Brave messenger area first to scan.

When Ravana to Lanka Sita taking,

Jatayu greatest sacrifice making.

Battle ensuing in the air,

To stop fiend from leaving there.

Despite following what is right,

Not enough to overcome his might.

Failure never in devotion to be,

At time of death Rama’s face to see.

Dying while Sita trying to save,

Rama to him best benediction gave.

While sun on Jatayu’s life setting,

Direct vision of Supreme Lord getting.

Lord rewarding gesture large and small,

Not assessing stature short or tall.

Just keep His beautiful vision in mind,

As death approaches, most important time.

For long Supreme Lord forgotten,

Lost through material opulence begotten.

Shri Rama compassionate the most is there,

Since of tendency keenly aware.

Possible even when by His side,

Like with Sugriva again as king to preside.

With such a Lord this heart always to stay,

To never forget again sincerely to pray.

Comfortably back on throne set,

Sugriva how he got there to forget.

Lost in material opulence’s swoon,

Not realizing time dwindling soon.

Rama quiet for His part,

From kind demeanor not to depart.

Easy by illusion the intelligence goes,

Supreme Lord this tendency knows.

Ravana took Sita away,

Only after first failure’s way.

When so many night-rangers to forest came,

All fighting with ill purpose the same.

To brother Lakshmana order gave,

To take Sita to nearby cave.

Rama this battle to fight alone,

Most splendid exhibition shown.

When sister crying to Ravana went,

King then fourteen thousand soldiers sent.

All to attack man one,

For killing purpose done.

But Rama all by Himself defended,

On Rakshasas arrows shower descended.

Supreme Lord capable of even more fighting,

From His victory the pious delighting.

Shri Rama only one for me,

Persuaded towards others never to be.

Shri Hanuman the reason one,

By his devotion this heart was won.

Such a person nowhere else to find,

Firmly fixed Sita and Rama in mind.

The example for rest of humanity set,

Worship Rama for fruit of life to get.

Visit to brothers Hanuman made,

Friendship then instantly was made.

Initially by Sugriva was sent,

So to top of Rishyamukha went.

Wheels for Sita’s rescue set in motion,

Searching monkeys powered by devotion.

In over which person to worship doubt?

Just see Hanuman, hint of sin without.
