English Rendering
Devotion to Raghupati is the rainy season; Tulsī and his fellow good-servants are the paddy-crop; the two syllables of Rāma’s Name are its two greatest months — Sāvana and Bhādava.
हिन्दी अनुवाद
श्रीरघुपति की भक्ति — मानो वर्षा-ऋतु; तुलसी और अन्य सुदास — मानो सालि (धान) की फसल; और श्रीराम-नाम के दो श्रेष्ठ अक्षर — सावन-भादो के दो महीने।
Context — Editorial
A perfect village-image. India’s whole agricultural year turns on two monsoon months — Śrāvaṇa and Bhādrapada — because paddy is grown then. The two syllables of RĀM are said to be those two months for the crop of devotion. Nothing else grows without them.
