(Click on the above link for the full poem)

Sample: O Rāma, the heroic descendant of Raghu, the master of senses, this is my humble request. Remove all (my) hope, faith and belief in others, which is the ignorance of this Jīva. I do not want anything — the ultimate state (of Mukti), discerning intellect, riches, Rddhi (abundance), the eight Siddhi, or extensive greatness. (All I want is) May my unconditional love in the feet of Rāma grow more and more, day by day.[1—2]
