Why would anyone want
to learn anything but Rama?
Beginning with the low grass
and the creeping ant
with nothing
whatever,
he took everything in the good city Ayodhya
everything moving,
everything still,
he took everything
everything born
of the lord
of four faces,
he took them all
to the very best of states
