TRANSLATION

Lord Ramacandra’s spotless name and fame, which vanquish all
sinful reactions, are celebrated in all directions, like the ornamen-
tal cloth of the victorious elephant that conquers all directions.
Great saintly persons like Markandeya Rsi still glorify His charac-
teristics in the assemblies of great emperors like Maharaja
Yudhisthira. Similarly, all the saintly kings and all the demigods,
including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, worship the Lord by bow-
ing down with their helmets. Let me offer my obeisances unto His
lotus feet.
