    ध्यात्वा नीलोत्पलश्यामं रामं राजीवलोचनम् । जानकीलक्ष्मणोपेतं जटामुकुटमण्डितम् ॥

    dhyātvā nīlotpalaśyāmaṃ rāmaṃ rājīvalocanam | jānakīlakṣmaṇopetaṃ jaṭāmukuṭamaṇḍitam ||

    Meditate on Rāma, dark like a blue lotus, with lotus-like eyes, beside Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa, his matted hair gathered like a crown.
