nedam yaso raghupateh sura-yacnayatta-

lila-tanor adhika-samya-vimukta-dhamnah

rakso-vadho jaladhi-bandhanam astra-pugaih

kim tasya satru-hanane kapayah sahayah?

 

yasyamalam nrpa-sadahsu yaso 'dhunapi

gayaty agha-ghnam rsayo dig-ibhendra-pattam

padambujam raghupatim saranam prapadye

 

 

"Lord Ramacandra's reputation for having killed Ravana with showers of arrows

at the request of the demigods and for having built a bridge over the ocean does

not constitute the factual glory of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord

Ramacandra, whose spiritual body is alweays engaged in various pastimes. Lord

Ramacandra has no equal or superior, and therefore He had no need to take help

from the monkeys to gain victory over Ravana. Lord Ramacandra's spotless name

and fame, which vanquish all sinful reactions, are celebrated in all directions,

like the ornamental cloth of the victorious elephant that conquers all

directions. Great saintly persons like Markandeya Rsi still glorify His

characteristics in the assemblies of great emperors like Maharaja Yudhisthira.

Similarly, all the saintly kings and all the demigods, including Lord Siva and

Lord Brahma, worship the Lord by bowing down with their helmets. Let me offer

my obeisances unto His lotus feet."

 

--Srimad-Bhagavatam, 9.11.20-21
