In this body, the feeling of separation resides, and no mantra can take effect. One who is separated from Rama cannot live and goes mad. Let this body be a canvas; I shall write Rama's name upon it. I will write the name of the lotus (or peacock) and recite Rama's glories.

The body is filled with the ache of separation, a feeling that no mere spell or ritual can soothe. One who is separated from Rama cannot sustain life; he descends into madness. Instead, this body should be treated as a canvas, upon which we write Rama's name. I will write the name of the lotus (or peacock) and keep reciting Rama's glories.
