Glory of Nīla Mountain and the Prelude to King Ratnagrīva’s Legend
कस्य देवस्य कृपया गर्भनिर्वारणं भवेत् । सेव्यः श्रीरामचंद्रोऽसौ संसारज्वरनाशकः
kasya devasya kṛpayā garbhanirvāraṇaṃ bhavet | sevyaḥ śrīrāmacaṃdro'sau saṃsārajvaranāśakaḥ
Nhờ ân điển của vị thần nào mà sự ngăn trở nơi thai tạng có thể được trừ bỏ? Chỉ riêng Śrī Rāmacandra đáng được phụng thờ—Đấng diệt trừ cơn sốt của vòng luân hồi thế gian.
Unspecified (context-dependent within the Adhyaya)
Concept: Śrī Rāmacandra’s grace is the true remover of obstacles and the cure for saṃsāra-jvara (the fever of worldly existence).
Application: Adopt a steady Rāma-upāsanā (nāma-japa, stotra, pūjā) especially during fear; interpret crises as prompts to deepen surrender rather than despair.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: श्रीरामचंद्रोऽसौ = श्रीरामचन्द्रः + असौ (विसर्ग-लोप/ऽ)
Śrī Rāmacandra is explicitly presented as the one to be worshipped, described as the destroyer of the ‘fever’ of saṃsāra (worldly bondage).
It is a metaphor for the burning distress of worldly life—attachment, fear, suffering, and repeated birth and death—relieved through devotion and divine grace.
The compound can indicate the warding off/removal of a womb-related obstruction (often read as difficulty regarding conception/pregnancy). The verse frames such relief as dependent on divine grace, culminating in devotion to Rāma.
