Brahma ram ten namu bad bar

Doha 25 · Bal Kand

Doha Text

ब्रह्म राम तें नामु बड़ बर दायक बर दानि। रामचरित सत कोटि महँ लिय महेस जियँ जानि॥ २५ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

brahma rāma teṃ nāmu baḍa bara dāyaka bara dāni। rāmacarita sata koṭi mahaṃ liya mahesa jiyaṃ jāni॥ 25 ॥

Meaning

Thus the Name is greater than both the formless Brahman and the embodied Rama. It bestows boons even upon boon-givers. Knowing this in His heart, Shiva has taken and treasured the Name 'Rama' from among the hundred million narrations of Rama's deeds.

Context

This is Doha 25 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Glory of Rama's Name”. The episode describes the supreme glory of Rama's name as the most accessible refuge in Kali Yuga.
