jagata prakāsya prakāsaka rāmū। māyādhīsa gyāna guna dhāmū॥ jāsu satyatā teṃ jaḍa māyā। bhāsa satya iva moha sahāyā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

This world is that which is to be illumined, and Rama is its illuminator. He is the Lord of Maya, the abode of knowledge and virtues. By whose very existence, with the aid of delusion, even inert Maya appears as if real.
