राम भगत हित नर तनु धारी । सहि सङ्कट किए साधु सुखारी ॥
नाम सप्रेम जपत अनयासा । भगत होहिँ मुद मङ्गल बासा ॥
rāma bhagata hita nara tanu dhārī | sahi saṅkaṭa kie sādhu sukhārī ||
nāma saprema japata anayāsā | bhagata hohim̐ muda maṅgala bāsā ||

What Rama did, the name does more
Now the name is set beside Rama himself. Rama took a human body and bore hardship to make the saints happy; by chanting the name with love, devotees find joy with ease. Rama freed one ascetic's wife; the name has reformed millions of the wicked. For Vishvamitra, Rama destroyed Tataka with her army and son; the name ends the devotee's sorrows as the sun ends night. Rama broke Shiva's bow; the name breaks the fear of becoming. Rama made the Dandaka forest lovely; the name purifies countless hearts. He crushed the rakshasas; the name uproots Kali's stains. Rama gave a good end to Shabari and Jatayu; the name has saved the wicked beyond count.
राम एक तापस तिय तारी । नाम कोटि खल कुमति सुधारी ॥
रिषि हित राम सुकेतुसुता की । सहित सेन सुत कीन्ह बिबाकी ॥
rāma eka tāpasa tiya tārī | nāma koṭi khala kumati sudhārī ||
riṣi hita rāma suketusutā kī | sahita sena suta kīnha bibākī ||
सहित दोष-दुख दास दुरासा । दलइ नाम जिमि रबि निसि नासा ॥
भञ्जेउ राम आपु भव चापू । भव-भय-भञ्जन नाम-प्रतापू ॥
sahita doṣa-dukha dāsa durāsā | dalai nāma jimi rabi nisi nāsā ||
bhañjeu rāma āpu bhava cāpū | bhava-bhaya-bhañjana nāma-pratāpū ||
दंडक बन प्रभु कीन्ह सुहावन । जन-मन-अमित नाम किए पावन ॥
निसिचर-निकर दले रघुनन्दन । नाम सकल-कलि-कलुष निकन्दन ॥
daṃḍaka bana prabhu kīnha suhāvana | jana-mana-amita nāma kie pāvana ||
nisicara-nikara dale raghunandana | nāma sakala-kali-kaluṣa nikandana ||
सबरी गीध सुसेवकनि, सुगति दीन्हि रघुनाथ ।
नाम उधारे अमित खल, बेद बिदित गुन-गाथ ॥
sabarī gīdha susevakani, sugati dīnhi raghunātha |
nāma udhāre amita khala, beda bidita guna-gātha ||
