Composer of slokam jaanaati rama

[sthyagaraja01]

Can someone please tell me who is the composer of this slokam:

jaanaati rama tava nama ruchim maheshaha
jaanaati gautama sati charana prabhavam
jaanaati dorbala paraakramam eesha chaapo
jaanaatyamogha patu baana gathim payodhihi

Thanks in advance!

I found this in one of the blogs.


jAnAti rAma tava nAma-ruchiM maheshaH

jAnAti dorbala-parAkramaM Isha-cApaH
jAnAtyamOGa-paTu-bANa-gatiM payOdhiH ||

"Oh Rama, Shiva knows the sweetness of your name. Ahalya, the wife of sage Gautama, knows the resurrective power of your feet's touch. The divine bow (it could well be Shiva's bow or also Vishnu's bow- Parashurama gave it to Rama) knows the valour of your powerful arms. And the ocean well knows the infallible power of your sharp and forceful arrow".

It is an interesting prayer. Shiva chants Rama's name, and extols it as equal to the entire Vishnusahasranama according to tradition. Although Valmiki Ramayana mentions no special relationship between Rama and Shiva, ever since Tulsidasa dedicated his magnum opus to Shiva's inspiration, Hindus believe in the mutual worshipful attitude between Rama and Shiva- as deified in Rameshwaram.

It is Siva's bow that is being referenced - ISa cApa - because it is that bow that was broken by the strength in rAma's arms.

Great meaning, thank you so much! I haven't been able to identify the composer anywhere online though.
