praṇavo dhanvo virāṭo rāmo rājīvalocanaḥ | pārthivo viśvakarmā ca śrīrāmaḥ puruṣottamaḥ
This verse identifies Rama with the cosmic archer: Om as the bow, the universe as the arrow. Rama is the lotus-eyed one who releases the arrow. He is both earthly (parthivo) and the creator (vishvakarma). The image of the cosmic archer appears in the Upanishads and here in the Ramayana: the Self as the archer who releases the arrow of consciousness into the universe.

ॐ धनुष है, विराट बाण है, राम कमलनयन है। जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है।
