The Origin of Rāvaṇa
राम त्वद्दर्शनान्मेऽद्य गतं वै दुष्कृतं किल । संपूर्णो मे मनःकोश आनंदेन सुरोत्तम
rāma tvaddarśanānme'dya gataṃ vai duṣkṛtaṃ kila | saṃpūrṇo me manaḥkośa ānaṃdena surottama
โอ้พระราม เพียงได้เห็นพระองค์ในวันนี้ บาปกรรมของข้าพเจ้าก็สิ้นไปโดยแท้ โอ้ผู้ประเสริฐยิ่งในหมู่เทวะ คลังแห่งดวงใจของข้าพเจ้าเต็มเปี่ยมด้วยอานันท์
