Origin & History
Source: Vinaya Patrika of Goswami Tulsidas
Author: Goswami Tulsidas
Period: 16th century CE
This stuti is drawn from the Vinaya Patrika ('Petition of Humility') of Goswami Tulsidas, the great devotee-poet of Rama. In a handful of luminous verses he beholds Rama as the lotus-eyed Lord, the son of Dasharatha and slayer of demons, and makes the humble prayer that the Lord come to dwell in the lotus of his heart and destroy the inner foes of desire. It has become one of the most-sung praises of Rama in the Hindi-speaking world.
