(319) “I constantly worship Lord Rāmacandra, the guru of the three worlds. Before Him stands Śrī Lakṣmaṇa, who is the best of the archers, whose bodily complexion is like molten gold, who is engaged in the service of His elder brother, who is wonderfully decorated, and who is the form of Ananta Śeṣa.”
