Origin & Story

Ramcharitmanas (Balkand) · Goswami Tulsidas · 16th century CE

Tulsidas composed this stuti as part of the Ramcharitmanas, his magnum opus retelling of the Ramayana in Awadhi. This particular passage describes Ram's divine form with such exquisite beauty that it has been extracted and sung independently for centuries. It is said that Tulsidas had a direct vision (darshan) of Lord Ram, and this stuti captures the beauty he witnessed.

✦ As told in scripture

Tulsidas records in the Ramcharitmanas that Lord Ram appeared to him personally. According to the Bhaktamala and other sources, Tulsidas met Hanuman at the Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi, and Hanuman helped arrange his meeting with Lord Ram. When Tulsidas finally saw Ram's divine form, he fainted in ecstasy. This stuti is considered a direct description of that divine vision — not imagination, but eyewitness testimony of God's beauty.
