Chant
अवीरासनस्थैरचिन्मुद्रिकाढ्यै- रभक्ताञ्जनेयादितत्त्वप्रकाशैः । अमन्दारमूलैरमन्दारमालै- ररामाभिधेयैरलं दैवतैर्नः ॥२४॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- अवीरासनस्थैरचिन्मुद्रिकाढ्यै-
- Gods not seated in the hero's posture, not rich in chinmudra,
- रभक्ताञ्जनेयादितत्त्वप्रकाशैः ।
- not revealing truth to devoted Hanuman and the rest,
- अमन्दारमूलैरमन्दारमालै-
- not at the root of the Mandara, not wearing Mandara garlands,
- ररामाभिधेयैरलं दैवतैर्नः
- not named Rama - enough of such gods for us.
Without the hero's seat, chinmudra, and Hanuman's teaching, divinity is empty ornament. Rama must teach as well as rule.
