tāta rāma nahiṃ nara bhūpālā। bhuvanesvara kālahu kara kālā॥ brahma anāmaya aja bhagavaṃtā। byāpaka ajita anādi anaṃtā॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
O father, Rama is not merely the king of men. He is the Lord of all worlds and even Death’s Death. He is Bhagavan, the abode of all divine riches, glory, majesty, righteousness, dispassion, and knowledge; He is free from decay, unborn, all-pervading, unconquerable, beginningless, and endless Brahman.
