ശ്രീ രാമചന്ദ്രാഷ്ടകമ് (അമരദാസ കൃത)

Eight verses whose refrain asks a single thing: may Rama, the lord of Rama, take his pleasure in my mind always. The first gives him as consciousness itself, the ordainer, the giver of the highest ease, his body purifying, served forever by the chief of sages and of yogins, by the lord of ascetics and of gods, and by Hanuman. The second sets the highest and the lowest side by side — Mukunda and Govinda, whose feet Janaka's daughter caressed, and to whose station Shabari came also, born in the meanest of families. The colophon gives a line of teachers rather than a single name: the poet Amaradasa, disciple of Hamsadasa, who was himself the disciple of the venerable Ramadasa.
