Bāla Kāṇḍa·Chaupāī·3.1
सियाराम मय सब जग जानी।
करउँ प्रनाम जोरि जुग पानी॥
siyārāma maya saba jaga jānī |
karaũ pranāma jori juga pānī ||
English rendering
Knowing the whole world to be filled with Sītā and Rāma, I offer my praṇāma to it, joining both my hands.
हिन्दी अनुवाद
सम्पूर्ण जगत को सीता-राम से व्याप्त जानकर मैं दोनों हाथ जोड़कर उसे प्रणाम करता हूँ।
Context — editorial
One of the most quoted single lines in Indian devotional literature. Tulsīdās refuses to bow to Rāma alone; he bows to the entire world, having decided that Sītā and Rāma are present in all of it. The doctrine could not be stated more briefly, or more finally.
