Rāma’s Inquiry into the Hidden Identity of the Radiant Stranger
Dialogue Frame
राम उवाच नमस्ते देवदेवाय शङ्करायादिमूर्त्तये / नमः शर्वाय शान्ताय शाश्वताय नमोनमः
rāma uvāca namaste devadevāya śaṅkarāyādimūrttaye / namaḥ śarvāya śāntāya śāśvatāya namonamaḥ
Rama said— Salutations to the God of gods, to Śaṅkara, the Primordial Form. Salutations to Śarva, the Peaceful, the Eternal; again and again, my reverence.
