Meaning::
Hey!mortal,chant the *sacred utterence* of rama.[p] *mantra*

Do not trust this or that mantra and get confused

Even a nameless person can call and chant,it can be chanted on the street

It will demolish many sins,it can guide to heaven easily.[c1]

The son of maruta[mAruti] utters it always,it is enshrined in the minds of all the
sages.
This is like a wild fire to the jungle of difficulties,this protected and
got viBhIShana enthroned[c2]
It is a medication for cleansing the mind,even persons observing silence can
chant this.
Men can meditate on this mantra.This will demolish their inferior virtues
. What more can be told about this which uplifted viBhIShaNa[c3]
This is the summary of all the vedas.This is the basic mantra in the path of
salvation
This is the utterance guiding the path of devotion.This the great mantra of
purandara vittala, the abode of bliss[c4]
The treasure of knowledge,AnandatIrTha.always recites this.This mantra belongs
to the moon of the ocean of sUryavamSha,protector of the needy,purandara
vittala,[c5]
