The summit of the whole pūrva-tāpanī and its single verse that can be taken along without knowing either diagrams or code.
Rāma is named sac-cid-ānanda-rūpa — “whose form is being, consciousness and bliss”.
This is the formula for whose sake the book was written. Sat, cit and ānanda in Vedānta are definitions of Brahman, and abstract ones: being as such, consciousness as such, bliss as such. Here to them is added rūpa — “form”.
Think this joining through. Not “Rāma is a manifestation of sat-cid-ānanda” and not “behind Rāma stands sat-cid-ānanda”: His form is they.
The same formula we read in the Gopāla-tāpanī of Kṛṣṇa, and it lies at the foundation of all Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava theology. Here it is said of Rāma — and said directly in a line of prayer, in the first person: vande, “I praise”.
In His hands are the mace, the disc, the conch and the lotus — the emblems of Viṣṇu, not Rāma's bow. Here too the book does not let one forget who stands before us.
Bhavāri — “the foe of becoming”, that is, he who puts an end to the round of births.
And the promise: “everyone who so contemplates obtains liberation”. The word sarvaḥ, “everyone”, is set deliberately — after an Upaniṣad full of prohibitions and secrets it is said: everyone.
