I bow to Sri Raghava — lotus-eyed, of the Raghu dynasty, dark blue as the blue lotus, seated in a lovely golden pavilion adorned with coral-trees, established on a lion-throne inlaid with rows of nine gems, together with Sita, Lakshmana, and the guardians of the directions; the abode of sages. (28)

I meditate on Ramachandra — who is like a full moon, who destroys the fever of the whole forest of worldly bondage for those who bow; dark, tranquil, the lord of the gods, praised by gods and sages, radiant as a crore of suns, served by Sita and Lakshmana, accessible to gods and men, enthroned on a divine lion-seat — may Ramachandra, of smiling and beautiful countenance, be always gracious to me in the evening hours. (29)

I remember Sri Ramachandra unceasingly in my heart — whose face is like the full moon, whose eyes are like lotuses, who wears jewelled earrings, whose crown is supremely beautiful, dressed in golden-yellow garments, holding a bow in hand. (31)
मातुः पार्श्वे चरन्तं मणिमयशयने मञ्जुभूषाञ्चिताङ्गम् ।

May my heart contemplate infant Rama — walking at his mother's side on a jewelled bed, his limbs adorned with lovely ornaments, drinking milk slowly with half-closed eyes, touching gently with his fingertips, embraced joyfully by his mother with a smile; held close and close again in his mother's arms. (32)

I bow always to Rama, the son of Dasharatha — charming to Rama's devotees, charming to the eyes, charming to the ear through his speech, charming in his face, charming in every way, and ever charming. (33)

rāśabdōchchāramātrēṇa mukhānniryāti pātakāḥ ।
punaḥ pravēśabhītyā cha makārastu kavāṭavat ॥ 34
By merely uttering the syllable "Ra," all sins pour out from the mouth; and the syllable "Ma" acts like a closed door, so that they cannot re-enter out of fear. (34)

(37)

śabdāvāchyamahaṃ namāmi satataṃ vyutpattināśātparam ॥ 38
I bow always to that which transcends conceptual understanding — the pure consciousness that shines in the waking, dreaming, and deep-sleep states, the essence free from all sin, the origin of the subtle elements, the matrix of all yogic paths such as those of Shambhavi and others, beyond Sankhya and all philosophies, beyond what can be indicated by the word "I," beyond what is destroyed by realisation. (38)

I bow with my head to Sri Rama the Jewel — the jewel born from the ocean of the Ikshvaku dynasty, the jewel that is the fortune of Sita's youth, the jewel of Vaikuntha, the jewel that is my own good fortune. (39)

I worship Ramachandra, the lord of the Raghus — the beloved of the Ikshvaku line, worshipped by Sugriva, protector of all three worlds, ever true to his word, Raghava, the lord of the Raghus, lotus-eyed. (40)
भक्तप्रियं भक्तसमाधिगम्यं

Vibhishana is the witness of his vow to protect those who bow to him even once — that Sri Rama who punishes the transgressor is my refuge and final goal. (74)
फलमूलाशिनौ दान्तौ तापसौ धर्मचारिणौ ।

phalamūlāśinau dāntau tāpasau dharmachāriṇau ।
rakṣaḥkulavihantārau bhrātarau rāmalakṣmaṇau ॥ 75
The two brothers Rama and Lakshmana — living on fruits and roots, self-restrained, practising asceticism and righteousness, destroyers of the demon race. (75)
तरुणौ रूपसम्पन्नौ सुकुमारौ महाबलौ ।
पुण्डरीक विशालाक्षौ चीरकृष्णाजिनाम्बरौ ॥ 76

Both young, endowed with beauty, tender and supremely strong, with eyes wide as white lotuses, clad in bark garments and black deerskin. (76)

I bow to Rama, the moon of Kausalya's eyes, the sun to the lotus-face of Dasharatha, the royal swan on the lake of Sita's heart, the lotus-eyed one. (77)
भर्जनं भवबीजानां मार्जनं सुखसम्पदाम् ।

bharjanaṃ bhavabījānāṃ mārjanaṃ sukhasampadām ।
tarjanaṃ yamadūtānāṃ rāmarāmēti kīrtanam ॥ 78
The chanting of "Rama, Rama" burns the seeds of worldly bondage, cleanses away the miseries of happiness's absence, and frightens away the messengers of Yama (Death). (78)
न जाने जानकी जाने राम त्वन्नामवैभवम् ।
सर्वेशो भगवान् शम्भुर्वाल्मीकिर्वेत्ति वा नवा ॥ 79
na jānē jānakī jānē rāma tvannāmavaibhavam ।
sarvēśō bhagavān śambhurvālmīkirvētti vā navā ॥ 79
O Janaki (Sita) knows; yet even she does not fully know, O Rama, the greatness of your name. Does the lord of all, the blessed Shambhu (Shiva), know? Does Valmiki? Or does anyone at all? (79)
करतलधृतचापं कालमेघस्वरूपं

Bow to Raghunatha, the lord of Janaki's life — bearing a bow in his lotus hand, of the form of the black rain cloud, with eyes like petals of the lotus, of beautiful smile, of lovely limbs, roaming the forest in his wandering exile, of extraordinary heroic bearing. (80)

I contemplate Sri Ramachandra unceasingly in my heart — whose beautiful cheeks glow with earrings shaped like makaras (sea-creatures) flashing like lightning, resplendent with a gem-studded crown, clad in yellow silk, of the dark beauty of a rain cloud, of generous and beautiful radiance. (81)

May the face of Sri Ramachandra be present within me — whose cheeks gleam with blazing jewelled earrings, whose broad forehead shines with a musk sandalwood tilaka mark, with eyes long as to the very ears, whose glance is full of compassion. (82)

May Rama, served by Hanuman, remember me from his imperial throne — attended by Vaidehi, Lakshmana, the sons of Kaikeyi (Bharata and Shatrughna), Sugriva, Vibhishana, the son of Vayu, Nila, Nala, and Angada, honouring Vishvamitra, Vasishtha, Gautama, Bharadvaja, and other sages. (83)

May the sun in the heart, the one beautiful as Brahman and Rama, who is the treasury of all virtues, praised by yogis, served by the celestial vehicles of the gods, whose reputation protects the dignity of Indra and others, who is revered as the great lord, who shines together with Sita, the ocean celebrated by many — may he remember me. (84)

May Ramachandra protect me — the moon that gladdens the white-lily of the celestial beings, the moon that destroys the lotus of the demons, the moon that dispels the darkness of sin, the moon of wisdom for the yogis, the moon for the eyes of those who bow, the moon for the eyes of Maithili (Sita), the moon who is the enemy of the ten-faced one (Ravana). (85)

His very name is equal to a thousand names; his name is equal to the Vedas; a verse marked with his name destroys the womb of the wives of the demon armies. His name makes no distinction between the brahmin and the outcast, and shines as the bestower of liberation — that name, the Rama-Rama chant, is the heavy nectar of the name of Sri Rama. (86)

O lotus-eyed one, O best of the Raghu dynasty, O Ramabhadra, whose face is like the orb of the full moon, O dark-limbed one, O beautiful Rama, born of the Raghu clan — O Sri Ramachandra, give me the support of your hand. (87)

I worship that Goddess, the beloved of Raghava (Sita) — whose lotus feet are adorned with jewelled anklets, whose lotus face is like the sun of Rama's delight, whose lotus hands grant fearlessness to the devoted. (88)

Victory to the bringer of victory, the bringer of joy to Janaki, the one who roams in the solar dynasty, the wanderer of the Dandaka forest, the axe against the ten-headed one (Ravana), the scatterer of the demon armies, wearing a jewelled crown, bearing the fierce great bow. (89)

Rama is my father; Raghava himself is my mother; Rama is my brother and my friend, the lord of the Raghus. Ramachandra, the compassionate, is my everything — beyond Rama I do not remember anyone. (90)
श्रीराम मे त्वं हि पिता च माता

O Sri Rama, you alone are my father and mother; O Sri Rama, you alone are my dear friend and kinsman; O Sri Rama, you alone are my guru and companion; O Sri Rama, you alone are my everything. (91)

Drinking the nectar of the deeds of Ramachandra is equal to drinking soma a hundred crore times. One does not escape rebirth by drinking soma a hundred crore times — but through the name of Raghunayaka one does. (92)

Hanuman knows the truth of you, O Rama. The king of monkeys (Sugriva) knows the nature of your friendship, O Rama. The ten-headed one (Ravana) knows the measure of your prowess in battle, O Rama. Truly, only the younger brother of Kubera (Vibhishana) knows you fully. (97)

I bow always to the Raghava — whose body is impressed with the sattvic truth; I bow to the giver of nectar; I bow to the beautiful four-armed one of gem-like radiance; I bow to the one dwelling in the six lotuses; I bow to the one whose abode extends from Brahma to the tiniest ant; I bow to the cosmic Virat form; I bow to the one who rests upon the serpent-couch.

I praise and take refuge in Rama — the noble son of Dasharatha, the dear consort of Janaki (Sita), expert at slaying the ten-faced one, with eyes wide as lotus petals, bearing a bow and arrows in his lotus hands, wearing a lovely pearl garland, the best king of the Raghu dynasty, the granter of refuge.

What use are the treatises on yoga? What use is the full range of learning? What use are sacrifices, the Ganga, or any special pilgrimage? What use is the path of brahmacharya and the hermitage — if there is no devotion to the glory of the Raghu dynasty? (173)
इदं शरीरं श्लथसन्धिजर्झरं
पतत्यवश्यं परिणामपेशलम् ।
किमौषथं पृच्छसि मूढ दुर्मते
निरामयं रामकथामृतं पिब ॥ 174
idaṃ śarīraṃ ślathasandhijarjharaṃ
patatyavaśyaṃ pariṇāmapēśalam ।
kimauṣathaṃ pṛchChasi mūḍha durmatē
nirāmayaṃ rāmakathāmṛtaṃ piba ॥ 174
This body with its loosening joints decays and inevitably falls, ripened for its end. What medicine do you seek, O foolish and misguided one? Drink the disease-free nectar of Rama's story. (174)
हे रामभद्राश्रय हे कृपालो
हे भक्तलोकैकशरण्यमूर्ते ।
पुनीहि मां त्वच्चरणारविन्दं
जगत्पवित्रं शरणं ममाऽस्तु ॥ 175
hē rāmabhadrāśraya hē kṛpāḻō
hē bhaktalōkaikaśaraṇyamūrtē ।
punīhi māṃ tvachcharaṇāravindaṃ
jagatpavitraṃ śaraṇaṃ mamā'stu ॥ 175
O my refuge, Ramabhadra, O compassionate one, O form that is the sole refuge of the devotees — purify me; may your lotus foot, the purifier of the universe, be my refuge. (175)
नीलाभ्रदेह निखिलेश जगन्निवास
राजीवनेत्र रमणीयगुणाभिराम ।
श्रीदाम दैत्यकुलमर्दन रामचन्द्र
त्वत्पादपद्ममनिशं कलयामि चित्ते ॥ 176
nīlābhradēha nikhilēśa jagannivāsa
rājīvanētra ramaṇīyaguṇābhirāma ।
śrīdāma daityakulamardana rāmachandra
tvatpādapadmamaniśaṃ kalayāmi chittē ॥ 176
I contemplate in my heart always the lotus feet of Sri Ramachandra — O body of the blue rain cloud, O lord of all, O universal dwelling, O lotus-eyed one, O one of beautiful and pleasing virtues, O giver of wealth (Sri), O crusher of the demon dynasty. (176)
श्रीरामचन्द्र करुणाकर दीनबन्धो
सीतासमेत भरताग्रज राघवेश ।
पापार्तिभञ्जन भयातुरदीनबन्धो
पापाम्बुधौ पतितमुद्धर मामनाथम् ॥ 177
śrīrāmachandra karuṇākara dīnabandhō
sītāsamēta bharatāgraja rāghavēśa ।
pāpārtibhañjana bhayāturadīnabandhō
pāpāmbudhau patitamuddhara māmanātham ॥ 177
O Sri Ramachandra, compassionate one, friend of the lowly, O one accompanied by Sita, O elder brother of Bharata, O lord of the Raghus — O destroyer of the afflictions of sin, O friend of the fearful and wretched — lift me up, who have fallen into the ocean of sin, helpless and without refuge. (177)
इन्दीवरदलश्याम-मिन्दुकोटिनिभाननम् ।
कन्दर्पकोटिलावण्यं वन्देऽहं रघुनन्दनम् ॥ 175
indīvaradaḻaśyāma-mindukōṭinibhānanam ।
kandarpakōṭilāvaṇyaṃ vandē'haṃ raghunandanam ॥ 175
I bow to Raghunandana — dark blue as the petal of the blue lotus, whose face is like crores of moons, whose beauty equals crores of Kamadevs. (175)
इति श्रीबोधेन्द्रसरस्वती कृत श्रीरामकर्णामृतम् ॥
iti śrībōdhēndrasarasvatī kṛta śrīrāmakarṇāmṛtam ॥
Thus ends the Sri Rama Karnamrutam, composed by Sri Bodhendra Sarasvati.
