सोपि राम महिमा मुनिराया। सिव उपदेसु करत करि दाया॥ रामु कवन प्रभु पूछउँ तोही। कहिअ बुझाइ कृपानिधि मोही॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
sopi rāma mahimā munirāyā। siva upadesu karata kari dāyā॥ rāmu kavana prabhu pūchauṃ tohī। kahiya bujhāi kṛpānidhi mohī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
O sage king, that too is the glory of Rama's name, for Lord Shiva, out of compassion, gives the instruction of Rama's name [to the being dying in Kashi], and by that he attains the supreme state. O Lord, I ask you: who is that Rama? O treasure of mercy, please explain it to me.
