तुष्टाव प्रणतश्चैव शिरसा मधुसूदनम्। विमलक्षौमसंवीतो वाचयामास स द्विजान्
tuṣṭāva praṇataścaiva śirasā madhusūdanam| vimalakṣaumasaṃvīto vācayāmāsa sa dvijān
Clad in spotless silk garments, he extoled Lord Madhusudana (Visnu) with his head bowed low. He listened to the purificatory mantras recited by brahmins.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Clad in spotless silk, Rama bows to Lord Madhusudana (Vishnu) and listens to purifying recitations. The white silk signals his purity. The bow signals his humility. The recitations connect his individual destiny to the cosmic order that upholds the universe.
