ध्यायेदाजानुबाहुं धृतशरधनुषं बद्धपद्मासनस्थं

वामाङ्कारूढसीतामुखकमलमिलल्लोचनं नीरदाभं
नानालङ्कारदीप्तं दधतमुरुजटामण्डलं रामचन्द्रम्॥
Dhyayed ajanu-bahum dhrita-shara-dhanusham baddha-padmasanastham,
Pitam vaso vasanam nava-kamala-dala-spardhi-netram prasannam,
Vamankarudha-sita-mukha-kamala-milal-lochanam niradabham,
Nanalankara-diptam dadhatam uru-jata-mandalam ramachandram.
One should meditate upon Sri Ramachandra — his arms reaching to his knees, holding bow and arrow, seated firm in the lotus posture, clad in yellow, his serene eyes rivalling fresh lotus petals; his gaze meeting the lotus face of Sita seated on his left lap; dark and radiant as a rain-cloud, shining with many ornaments and bearing a great crown of matted locks.
