रामस्तवः — ब्रह्मणा रामस्य नारायणत्वप्रकाशनम्
Rama-Stava: Brahma Reveals Rama’s Nārāyaṇa Identity
सहस्रचरण्श्रीमान् शतशीर्षस्सहस्रदृक् ।।।।त्वंधारयसिभूतानिपृथिवीं च सपर्वताम् ।
sahasracaraṇaḥ śrīmān śataśīrṣaḥ sahasradṛk | tvaṃ dhārayasi bhūtāni pṛthivīṃ ca saparvatām ||
اے جلال والے! ہزار قدموں والا، سو سروں والا، اور ہزار آنکھوں والا—تو ہی سب بھوتوں کو اور پہاڑوں سمیت اس زمین کو تھامے ہوئے ہے۔
"You are endowed with thousand feet, glorious, with hundred heads and hundred eyes, you sustain all beings, mountains and earth."
Dharma is sustaining responsibility: the highest ideal is to support life and the world without collapse—mirrored ethically in the ruler’s duty to uphold subjects and the land.
The hymn culminates in a cosmic vision of Rāma as the universal sustainer, placing the immediate war within the larger purpose of preserving order.
Dhāraṇā/poshana (support and protection): the capacity to bear burdens for the welfare of all.
