# Ram Naam Manidip Dharu

Bal Kand · Doha 21

> राम नाम मनिदीप धरु जीह देहरीं द्वार।  
> तुलसी भीतर बाहेरहुँ जौं चाहसि उजिआर॥२१॥

भावार्थ: तुलसीदासजी कहते हैं, यदि तू भीतर और बाहर दोनों ओर उजाला चाहता है तो मुखरूपी द्वारकी जीभरूपी देहलीपर रामनामरूपी मणि-दीपकको रख॥२१॥

Meaning: Install the luminous gem in the shape of the divine name ‘Rāma’ on the threshold of the tongue at the doorway of your mouth, if you will have light both inside and outside, says Tulasīdāsa. (21)
