"The most elegant composition of the most talented poet has no real beauty if the name of Rama is not in it; in the same way as a lovely woman adorned with the richest jewels is vile if unclothed. But the most worthless production of the feeblest versifier, if adorned with the name of Rama, is heard and repeated with reverence by the wise; like bees gathering honey; though the poetry has not a single merit, the glory of Rama is manifested in it."
Rama

January 1, 1970
