TRANSLATION
1)
Though His face is like a spotless moon, still it is further brightened by a
shining crown of jewels. His earrings resemble Jupiter and Venus rising in the
evening sky. I forever worship this Lord Sri Rama,
guru of the three worlds.
2)
When He awakens and opens His lotus eyes, their luster resembles the early rays
of the rising sun. His teeth are enclosed by charming bimba
fruit-red lips. His nose is shapely and graceful and seeing the beams of His
beautiful smile, the white-rayed moon accepts defeat. I forever worship this
Lord Sri Rama, guru of the three worlds.
3)
The throat of the unborn Lord is like a three-ringed conch shell, and His form
is soft as the lotus. He wears a shining necklace of pearls set in gold, and
thus He resembles a water-laden cloud accompanied by lightning flashes and a
flock of cranes. Such is Sri Rama, guru of the three
worlds, whom I perpetually adore.
4)
In Her upraised hand Sita Devi
holds a thousand-petalled lotus flower, and Her five graceful fingers make it appear that the flower's
hundred petals are covered by another five petals. I forever worship Rama, best of the Raghu dynasty,
by whose side forever remains this Sita, whose
radiance is like molten gold.
5)
Before Rama stands his brother Laksmana,
deeply attached to His elder brother's service, the most skilled of archers,
his body brilliant golden, and enhanced by splendid ornaments. He is also known
as Sesa, the all-accommodating abode of the worlds. I
worship this Lord Sri Rama guru of the three worlds.
6)
Like the nectar-rayed moon shining on the ocean of the Raghu
dynasty, He slew the foremost among the man-eating demons, Marica
and Subahu, thus protecting the sacrifice performed
by the sage Visvamitra for the welfare of His
ancestors. I worship this Lord Sri Rama, guru of the
three worlds.
7)
Slaying the raksasas Khara,
Trisira, Kabandha, and
their armies, He rendered safe the forest of Danda-kanana.
By killing the monkey-king, Sugriva's enemy,
8)
After breaking Siva's bow, He married Sita, daughter
of Janaka-raja. Then on the path home, He defeated
the mighty Parasurama, best of Bhrgu's
line, bringing pleasure to Maharaja Dasaratha, His
father. I forever worship this Lord Sri Rama, the
foremost descendant of Kakutstha and guru of the
three worlds.
