ॐ अस्य श्रीरामरक्षास्तोत्रमन्त्रस्य बुधकौशिक ऋषिः। श्रीसीतारामचन्द्रो देवता। अनुष्टुप् छन्दः। सीता शक्तिः। श्रीमद्हनुमान कीलकम्। श्रीरामचन्द्र प्रीत्यर्थे जपे विनियोगः॥
चरितं रघुनाथस्य शतकोटिप्रविस्तरम्। एकैकमक्षरं पुंसां महापातकनाशनम्॥
The seer of this Ram Raksha mantra is Budha-Kaushika; the deity is Sri Sita-Ramachandra; the meter is Anushtup; Sita is the energy; Hanuman is the support. It is recited for the pleasure of Sri Ramachandra. The story of Raghunath extends to a hundred crore verses; even one of its syllables destroys the greatest sins.
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patit Pavan Sita Ram.
