This is a true classic.
How much ruchi (taste) there is in Rama Nama!
Bhadrachala Ramadasa doesn't tell us. He tells Rama Himself.

Dr. BMK rendering the composition perhaps in the same way the author would have intended.

A quick translation #RamNavamiSpecial #RamaNavami
Rama Nama is sweeter than Madhurasa, yogurt or even ghee.

Ramadasa talks about the sweetest of grapes and sugarcane and says that Rama Nama is sweeter than them too.
In consecutive verses, Ramadasa mentions Periya Thiruvadi (big feet) and Siriya Thiruvadi (small feet).

The name of Pakshi Vaahana (Vishnu on Garuda) is so sweet that it resides in the petals of the heart-lotus of Hanuman.
[Garuda is Vishnu's mount while Hanuman carried Rama]

Starting a short thread dedicated to the 9 forms of Devi.
O Lord Ganesha, brilliant as a million suns!

From your broken tusk and twisted trunk came the lakh verses of the Mahabharata.
Bless us so our mind shall never tire, and our pen shall never dry. Image
Vasanta Navaratri - Day 1: Shailaputri
The Soundarya Lahari of Sankara describes Devi thus:

धनुः पौष्पं मौर्वी मधुकरमयी पञ्च विशिखाः
वसन्तः सामन्तो मलयमरुदायोधनरथः ।
तथाप्येकः सर्वं हिमगिरिसुते कामपि कृपाम्
अपाङ्गात्ते लब्ध्वा जगदिद-मनङ्गो विजयते ॥

Elaboration follows. Image
