O Saints, We Are The Traders Of Rama's Name!

O saints, we are the traders of Rama's name!
Merchants from distant villages come to us
O saints, we are the traders of Rama's name!

Our goods happen to be modest and suit everyone's taste;
All castes come to us for purchase.
O saints, we are the traders of Rama's name!

Limitless are our assets; why should we deal merely in millions or billions?
It is pure musk, buy it if you want -its a sure bargain!
O saints, we are the traders of Rama's name!

To enter the name of Laxmi's beloved in the ledger
And jot down the name of Chaturbhuj in a chit - that's Narsaiyya's job!
O saints, we are the traders in Rama's name!
