✦ Meaning

This is one of the most beloved single verses of the Ram Raksha Stotra, weaving the name of Rama through every line in the eight grammatical cases of Sanskrit. It proclaims Rama as the ever-victorious king, the destroyer of demon armies, the supreme refuge and the master whose servant the devotee gladly is, ending with the heartfelt plea, 'O Rama, uplift me.'

Origin & Story

Ram Raksha Stotra (verse 37), composed by Sage Budha Kaushika · Sage Budha Kaushika · Ancient (Puranic era)

The Ram Raksha Stotra was revealed, according to tradition, by Lord Shiva to Sage Budha Kaushika in a dream; on waking, the sage wrote it down. This verse near its close is a rapturous declaration of surrender, repeating Rama's name in every Sanskrit case to express that Rama is everything to the devotee — victor, protector, refuge and master.

✦ As told in scripture

The Ram Raksha Stotra promises that those guarded by Rama's names cannot even be seen by hostile beings of earth, sky or netherworld. Devotees across India recite this verse for victory and protection, and many testify that surrender expressed in 'Ramasya daso'smyaham' — 'I am Rama's servant' — brings courage and deliverance from danger.
