Chapter – 22 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda – The significance of Nama/name and Nami/appearance/form
The sacred name ‘Ra Ma’ of Lord of the clan of
Raghu, Raghubara serves the purpose of Umbrella on the gem-studded crown
adorned, the sacred syllables ‘Ra and Ma’ serves the purpose of Master and
servant to one another. The Nama/name and the Nami/ appearance are two
attributes that are inseparable, hence it is meaningless to rationalize them
as superior and inferior. The intellectuals say the appearance cannot exists
without the name; hence appearance/form and name are equally significant, but
the greatest advantage is that the mere remembrance of the name would help to
perceive the form easily. Nama/name and the Nami/appearance are inseparable
like Master and servant, the Nama is an Upadhi/tool to get connected to the
Saguna Bhramaswaroopa Sacchidhanandha Paramathma Parambhramam, therefore the
Santh Mahathma says it would be sinful to attempt to discriminate the Nama/name and
Nami/appearance. Any marvelous form is recognized with its name, otherwise, it
would remain unimportant and unknown to the world, hence the forms get their
appreciation by their names.

Samujjath Sarisa Nama Aru Nami | Preethi Paraspar Prabhu Anugami || Nama Roopa Dhruyi Esa
Upadhi | Akatha Anadhi Susamuchi Sadhi || Ko Bad Chota Kahath Aparadhu | Suni
Guna Bhedhu Smucchihahim Sadhu || Dhekhiahim Roopa Nama Adheena | Roopa Gyan
Nahim Nama Biheena || Roopa Besesa Nama Binu Jane | Karathala Gatha Na Parahim Pahichane || Sumiriau Nama Roopa Binu
Dhekhe | Aavath Hridhayam Saneha Biseshe|| Nama Roopa Gathi Akatha Kahani |
Samucchath Sukhadha Na Parathi Bakhani || Aguna Saguna Bicha Nama Susakhi | Ubhaya Prabodhaka
Chathura Dhubhashi ||
