The devotion to Rama is great
Anupallavi
Rama bhakthi solves all problems and protects like an eyelid protects an eye.
Charanam (Importance of Rama Bhakthi explained)
Would lakshmi devi so fervently love him or lakshmana can serve him with such dedication
Would the intellect Bharatha feel ecstatic by beholding him again and again
Would sabari offer tasted fruits ; Can lord Shiva extol him
Would svayamprabha can get the eternal state
Can monkey leap across a mighty ocean, can an ordinary cowherd woman tie the lord to mortar
Will this sinner tyagaraja gets eternal bliss
