Faith in Râma is a glorious philosopher’s stone.

Excerpt

Faith in Râma is a glorious philosopher's stone; in whose heart soever it dwells, Garur, there night and day is an infinite splendour, a lamp that never requires to be fed with oil. Delusion and poverty come not near; no blast of covetousness ever extinguishes it.
