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। राम पार्थिव है, विश्वकर्मा है, पुरुषोत्तम है।

ॐ धनुष है, विराट बाण है, राम कमलनयन है। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
