186. OM SATHAM GATHAYE NAMA: ॐ सतां गतये नम: That Lord with Sri Lakshmi, is refuge for sadhus.
We should revive old customs instead of starting a new one. His mercy redeems good persons. All sages of Dandakaranya forest said that Sri Rama was their refuge and they would not seek asylum from anyone else. Alwar says just like a child seeks its mother only, even if she was angry with the child, sadhus seek the Lord only as He is always associated with Sri Thayar. Swami Desika says that without mercy, other great qualities of the Lord would be of no use to us, in Dayasathakam. When Dasaratha performed Aswameda yagna, Devas assembled and at that time they discussed their plight of suffering meted out by Ravana and complained to lord Brahma, who said that they had to seek the refuge of Sriman Narayana, Who alone could bring happiness. Instantly, the Lord appeared with His Consorts and mounted on Garuda, and assured protection.
