śrīrāmaṃ mādhavaṃ mokṣaṃ kṣamārūpaṃ janārdanam | sarvajñaṃ sarvavettāraṃ sarvadaṃ sarvanāyakam
ഞാൻ ശ്രീരാമനെയും മാധവനെയും—മോക്ഷസ്വരൂപനെയും—ക്ഷമാസ്വഭാവനായ ജനാർദ്ദനനെയും പ്രണമിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ സർവ്വജ്ഞൻ, സർവ്വവേതാവ്, സർവ്വദാതാവ്, സർവ്വനായകൻ।
Unspecified (stotra-style eulogy within the narrative context)
Concept: The Lord (as Rāma/Mādhava/Janārdana) is mokṣa itself and forgiveness itself; surrender to the all-knowing giver and leader aligns the devotee with liberation and compassionate conduct.
Application: Practice kṣamā (forgiveness) as a daily sādhana: pause before reacting, choose truthful gentleness, and dedicate leadership/decision-making to dharma; remember Rāma as the ‘form of mokṣa’ when tempted by resentment.

FAQs
Both: the verse uses names and epithets (Śrī Rāma, Mādhava, Janārdana) that identify the same Supreme Lord in Vaiṣṇava theology, praising Viṣṇu as manifest as Rāma.
It presents liberation not merely as a goal but as the Lord’s own nature—mokṣa is attained through Him because He is the very source and embodiment of release.
It elevates forgiveness as a divine quality to emulate: devotees are encouraged to cultivate kṣamā (forbearance/mercy) as part of righteous conduct and devotion.
