Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
रामेणाभिहितं करोमि सततं रामं भजे सादरम् । रामेणापहृतं समस्तदुरितं रामाय तुभ्यं नमः । रामान्मुक्तिमभीप्सिता मम सदा रामस्य दासोऽस्म्यहम् । रामे रंजत् मे मनः सुविशदं हे राम तुभ्यं नमः ॥ ३५ ॥
rāmeṇābhihitaṃ karomi satataṃ rāmaṃ bhaje sādaram | rāmeṇāpahṛtaṃ samastaduritaṃ rāmāya tubhyaṃ namaḥ | rāmānmuktimabhīpsitā mama sadā rāmasya dāso'smyaham | rāme raṃjat me manaḥ suviśadaṃ he rāma tubhyaṃ namaḥ || 35 ||
Je fais sans cesse ce que Rāma a prescrit; je vénère Rāma avec respect. Par Rāma, toutes mes fautes ont été effacées—ô Rāma, je me prosterne devant Toi. De Rāma seul je désire toujours la délivrance; je suis à jamais le serviteur de Rāma. Mon esprit se réjouit en Rāma et devient parfaitement limpide—ô Rāma, je me prosterne devant Toi.

FAQs
It presents single-point devotion to Śrī Rāma as a complete sādhanā: obedience to divine instruction, worship with reverence, purification from sin, and the direct aspiration for mokṣa—ending in a mind made clear through constant remembrance.
Bhakti is shown as lived surrender: doing what Rāma enjoins, worshipping Him, trusting His power to remove durita (sin/suffering), identifying oneself as His dāsa, and keeping the mind absorbed in Him—this sustained devotion culminates in liberation.
The verse emphasizes practical discipline rather than a technical Vedāṅga: steady mantra-like remembrance (nāma-smaraṇa/nāma-japa) and ethical obedience to divine injunction (vidhi/anushāsana), which function as applied dharma supporting mokṣa.
