Beauty & Pure 234



Five Verses on The Self *.
These are the last verses composed by Bhagavan.
They were written at the instance of a devotee, Suri Nagamma,
the author of Letters from Sri Ramanasramam.
He wrote them first in Telugu,
but to a Tamil metrical form called venba,
and then translated them into Tamil.
Since there was already a composition of
Shankaracharya called the Atma Panchakam,
Bhagavan decided to call his composition
Ekatma Panchakam.
