To whom, my son, you are at once master and companion, father, mother and spiritual guide; be their heart your temple, ye brothers twain, wherein with Sita to abide.
Chaupai
They who pick out all men’s good points and leave their bad; who endure troubles on behalf of Brahmans and kine; and who are of note in the world for soundness of doctrine; in their heart be your chosen home. They who understand your righteousness and their own defects and fix all their hopes on you, and have an affection for all your worshippers; in their heart dwell, you and Sita. He who has left all, tribe, sect, wealth, hereditary religion, worldly advancement, friends, relations, home and all, and given himself wholly to you; in his heart take up your abode, Raghurai. To whom heaven and hell and release from transmigration are all alike, if only they can behold the god with his bow and arrows; and who in heart, word and deed are your faithful slaves; be their heart, Rama, your tabernacle.
