Pearl

Jai Sri Ram,
The wise liken the heart of a poet to the sea,

His intellect to the shall containing pearls and goddess Saraswati to the star called Svati,

The modern Arcturus, the fifteenth lunar asterism considered as favorable to the formation of pearl,

If there is a shower in the form of beautiful ideas, lovely pearls make their appearance in the form of poetic effusion,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The Fatigue

Jai Sri Ram
The fatigue occasioned by this long journey cannot be relieved by millions of devices unless she takes a dip in the lake of Sri Rama's exploits,

Realizing this in their heart, poets and wise men chant the glory of Sri Hari alone,

Which wipes away the impurities of the kali age,

Finding the bard singing the glories of worldly men the goddess of speech begins to beat her brow and repent,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Invocation

Jai Sri Ram,
Even so, the wise say,

The outpourings of a good poet originate at one place,

In the poets own mind,

And exercise their charm elsewhere, on the mind of admirer, at his very invocation,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Young Lady

Jai sri Ram,
So do the wise chant and hear the glory of Sita and Sri Rama,

Even though couched in the vulgar tongue,

The beauty of a gem, a ruby and a pearl does not catch the eyes as it should so long as they are born on the head of a serpent,

the top of a mountain and the crown of an elephant respectively,

The charm of them all is enhanced when they adorn the diadem of a king or the person of a young lady,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

The milk of dark cow

Jai sri Ram,
My composition will appear extremely delightful to all by its association with Glory of Sri Rama,


Even as timber of every description is transformed into sandal and becomes worthy of adoration by contact with the Malaya mountain,

Nobody takes into account the quality of the wood in that region,

The milk of even a dark cow is white, and promise a great medicinal value,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Appears Charming

Jai Sri Ram
The tale of Sri Rama brings forth blessings and wipes away the impurities of the Kali age,

The course of this stream is tortuous like that of the holy Ganga,

By its association with the auspicious glory of the lord my composition will be blessed and well captivate the mind of virtuous,

On the person of Lord Shiva, even the ashes of the cremation ground appears charming and purify by their very thought,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks plaese 

Felicity

Jai Sri Ram
Even smoke rising from burning aloe wood is impregnated with the latter's fragrance,

And gives up its natural pungency, although my composition is clumsy,

it treat of a commendable theme,

The story  of Sri Rama, which brings felicity to the world,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Rama

Jai sri Ram,
Although, There is no poetic charm whatsoever,

The glory sri Rama is manifest in it,

This is the only hope which flashes on my mind,

Who has not been exalted by noble company,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Pretty woman

Jai Sri Ram,
Even a compassionate of marvelous beauty and written by a gifted poet does not commend itself without the name of Sri Rama,

A pretty  woman with a charming countenance and fully adorned does not look attractive when undressed,

On the Other Hand, the wise recite and hear with admiration even the composition of a worthless poet, which is devoid of all merit,

Knowing it as adorned with the name and glory of sri Rama, for like the bee, saints have bias for goodness,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Gracious Name of Lord

Jai Sri Ram,
It contains the gracious name of Lord Raghus,

Which is exceedingly holy and very cream of the Puranas and the Vedas,

It is abode of blessings and the remover of evils and is muttered by Lord Shiva,

The Enemy of demon Tripura, along with consort Uma,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hear it

Jai sri Ram,
Of these details of poesy,

i possess critical knowledge of none,

I vouch for it in writing on a blank sheet,

My composition is devoid of all charms, it has only one merit, which is known throughout the world, recognizing this merit, men of sound reason, who are gifted unbiased, will surely hear it,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Ram

Jai Sri Ram,
Knowing it in their heart as adorned with devotion to Sri Rama,

The virtuous will listen to it with bland words of praise,

I am no poet nor an adept in the art of speech and am a cipher in all arts and sciences,

There are elegant devices of letters, subtleties of meaning, various figures of speech, material composition of different kinds, infinite varieties of emotions and sentiments and multifarious flaws and excellence of poetic composition,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Who cherish no love

Jai Sri Ram,
To those who cherish no love for the feet of Lord,

And have no sound reason either, this story will sound unattractive to the ears,

To those, however, who posses devotion to the feet of God Vishnu and Shiva,

and whose mind is not perverse, the tale of the chief of Raghus will taste as sweet,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks Please 

Delightful Mirth

Jai Sri Ram,
To those who have no taste for poetry nor devotion to the feet of Sri Rama,

This undertaking of mine will serve as a subject for delightful mirth,

My composition is couched in the popular dialect and my intellect is feeble.

Hence it is a fit subject for ridicule and those who laugh shall not incur any blame,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Will benefit me

Jai Sri Ram,
The laughter of the evil minded will benefit me,

Crows call the cuckoo hoarse,

Herons ridicule the swan, frogs make fun of the Cataka bird,

Malicious rogues deride refined speech,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Rare Good soul like ocean

Jai Sri Ram,
There is some rare good soul like the ocean,

Which swells at the sight of the Full Moon,

Humble is my lot and my ambition high,

My only hope is that all good men will be gratified to hear what i say, while the evil minded will laugh,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Rare in this world

Jai Sri Ram,
Those, however, who are hard hearten, mischievous and perverse and cherish other's faults as an ornament, will feel amused,

Who does not like one's poetry, be a delightful or exceedingly insipid,

Such good people as delight to hear other's composition are rare in this world,

The World abounds in men who resemble lakes and rivers that get swollen with their own rise when waters are added to them,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks plaese

lisping ascents

Jai Sri Ram,
Even though my intellect is exceedingly mean, my aspirations pitched too high,

While i crave for nectar, i have no mean in the world to procure even butter milk,

The virtuous will forgive my presumption and listen to my childish babbling with interest,

When a child prattles in lisping ascents, the parents hear it with mind full of delight,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

your servant

Jai Sri Ram,
Knowing me as your Servant, be genuinely gracious to me all of you, O mines of Compassion,

I have no confidence in my intellect power, hence i supplicate you all,

I world recount the virtues of the Lord of Raghus, Sri Rama but wits are poor. whereas the exploits of Sri Rama are unfathomable,

For this i find not the least resources, my ambition is right royal,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Living beings

Jai Sri Ram,
I reverence gods, demons, human beings, Nagas, birds, spirits, manes and Gandharvas and Rakshasas,

Pray be gracious to me all on this occasion,

Eight million and four hundred thousand species of living beings, classified under four broad divisions,

Inhabit land, water and the air, recognizing the entire creation as full of Sita and Rama, i make obeisance to them with joined palms.

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

the emaciator of the moon

Jai Sri Ram,
Knowing the one as the nourisher and the other as the emaciator of the moon,

The world has given it a name and a bad one,

Whatever beings, animate or inanimate, there are in the universe, recognizing them, one and all, as considering of Sri Rama,

I ever adore the lotus feet of all with joined palms,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Only men endowed with keen insight

Jai Sri Ram,
Again, in conjunction with water, fire and air it is transformed into cloud and brings life to the world,

The Planet, medicines, water, air and cloth prove good or bad in the world according to their good and evil association,

Only men endowed with a keen insight are able to know this,

The Proportion of Moon light and the darkness is the same in the bright as well as in the dark fortnight, only the two have been named differently by the creator,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Through contact with the wind when united dust ascends to the sky,

While it is assimilated with mud when united with low laying water,

Parrots and Mainas nurtured in the house of virtuous and the wicked repeat the name of Rama and pour a volley of abuses respectively,

Smoke coming in contact with an evil Earthy substance turns into soot, the same is used as a material for copying the Puranas when converted into beautiful ink,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The Good

Jai sri Ram,
The good are honored not withstanding their mean appearance,

Even as Jambavan, who was endowed with the form of a bear and possessed miraculous strength,

Hanuman, won honor in this world, Bad association is harmful, while good company is an asset itself,

This is true in the world as well as in the eyes of Vedas and is known to all,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

old habits and past Karma

Jai Sri Ram,
By force of the spirit of the times, old habits and past karma even the good deviate from goodness under the influence of Maya,

But just as servants of sri Hari rectify that error and eradicating sorrow and weakness, bring untarnished glory to them,

Even so the wicked occasionally perform a noble deed due to their good association, although their evil nature, which is unchangeable, cannot be obliterated,

Even those who are impostors are respected on account of their Garb, as the world is taken in by their attractive appearance, but eventually exposed and cannot keep up their false appearance till end, as was the case with Kalanemi, Ravana and Rahu,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Swan

Jai sri Ram,
God has created the universe consisting of animate and inanimate beings as partaking of both good and evil,

Swans in the form of saints imbibe the milk of goodness rejecting water in the form of evil,

The swan is traditionally believed to feed on pearls and credited with the nature gift of separating milk from water,

When providence blesses one with such discrimination as possessed by the swan, then alone does the mind abandon evil and gets enamored of goodness,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Mixture of good and evil

Jai Sri Ram,
The good as well as the vile, all have being brought into being by the creator,

It is the Vedas that have differentiated them by reckoning the merits of the former class and demerits  of the others,

The Vedas and Itihaas such as Ramayana and the Mahabharata and Purana unanimously declare that the creation of Brahma is an inter-mixture of good and evil,

It is charecterised by the pair of opposites such as pain and pleasure, sin and merits, day and night, the good and the wicked, good birth and the vile birth, demons and gods, the high and the low, nectar and the poison, a happy life and the death, Maya and the Brahma, matter and spirit, soul and the God, plenty and poverty, pauper and the king, attachment and dispassion,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

That Is Why

Jai Sri Ram,
The tales of sins and vices of the wicked, on one hand,

And of the virtues of the virtuous, on the other hand, are like boundless and unfathomable oceans,

That is why enumerated only a few virtues and vices,

For they cannot be acquired or discarded without being duly distinguished,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Of course, a good man has a bias for goodness alone,

While a vile person is prone to vileness,

while nectar is praised for its immortalizing virtue,

Poison is extolled for its deadly effects,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The good and the wicked

Jai sri Ram,
The good and the wicked gather a rich harvest of good reputation and infamy by their receptive doings,

Although the merits of Nectar, the moon, the seat of nectar,

The Ganga-the river of the celestials and a pious soul, on the one hand, and the demerits of venom,,

Fire, the unholy river Karmanasa and the hunter, on the other hand, are known to all, only that which is to a man's taste appears good to him,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

common parent

Jai Sri Ram,
Though born together in the world,

They differ in their traits even as the lotus and the leech. Both of which spring from Water,

The good and the wicked resemble nectar and wine respectively,

The unfathomable ocean in the form of this world is their common parent,

May Lord bless all,

thanks please 

Can you ever expect ravens to turn vegetarians,

Jai Sri Ganesha,
I for my part made entreaties to them, they too must not fail to do their part,

However fondly you may nurture a brood of crows,

Can you ever expect ravens to turn vegetarians,

I adore the feet of a saint and a wicked soul, both of whom give pain, though some difference is said to exist between them, whereas the former class cause mortal pain while parting, the latter give agonizing torment during their meeting,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Such is their wont

Jai Sri Ram,
The wicked burn with jealousy as they hear of other's welfare.

Be they his friend, foe or neutrals,

Such is their wont,

Knowing thus this humble soul makes loving entreaties to them with joined palms,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Once More

Jai Sri Ram,
I reverence a wicked soul as the fiery thousand tongued serpent god sesa,

In so far as he eagerly expatiates on other's faults with the thousand tongue as it were,

Again i bow to him as celebrated king prthu who prayed for ten thousand ears in order to be able to hear the glories of lord to his heart's content, inasmuch as he hears of others faults with the thousand of ears as it were,

Once more do i supplicate to him as Indra-the lord of celestials in so far as wine appears charming and beneficial to him, even as the army of gods is beneficent to Indra, Harsh language is dear to him even as the thunderbolt is fondly cherished by Indra and he directs other's faults with a thousand eyes as it were,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

dissolve after destroying the crop,

Jai sri Ram,
They are rich in crime and vice as Kubera, the god of riches,

Like the rise of a comet their advancement augurs ill for other's interests,

Like the slumber of Kumbhakarana their decline alone is propitious for the world,

They lay down their very life in order to be able to harm others, even as hail-stone dissolve after destroying the crop,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

god of death

Jai sri Ram,
They are valiant like the reputed king Sahasrabahu,

So called because of his possessing a thousand arms in working other's woe,

They detect other's faults as if with a thousand eyes and their designing mind mars other's interests even as a fly spoils clarified butter,

In splendor they emulate the god of fire and in anger they vie with god of death,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

lunar eclipse

Jai Sri Ram,
Again, i greet with a sincere heart the malevolent class,

Who are hostile without purpose even to the friendly,

To whom others loss is their own gain and who delight in others desolation and wail over their prosperity,

They try to eclipse the glory of Vishnu and Shiva even as the demon Rahu intercept the light of the full moon during what is known as the lunar eclipse,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai sri Ram,
Realizing thus the noble disposition and loving nature of saints,

who are innocent at heart and catholic in spirit,

I make humble submission to them,

Listening to my childlike prayer and taking compassion on me, O noble souls bless me with devotion to the feet of Sri Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Much less can it be described by me,

Even as a dealer of vegetable find himself incapable of expatiating on the qualities of gems,

I bow to the saints, who are even minded towards all,

And have no friend and foe, just as a flower of good quality placed in the palm of one's hands communicates its fragrance alike to both the hands the one which has plucked it and that which held and preserved it,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Noble character

Jai Sri Ram,
Through contact with the virtuous even the wicked get reformed,

Just as the base metal is transformed by the touch of philosopher stone,

On the other hand, if by mischance good men fall into evil company, they maintain their noble character like the gem on the hood of a serpent,

Even the speech of deities like, Vishnu and Shiva, poets and men of wisdom falter in depicting the glory of pious soul,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Fulfillment of all endeavors

Jai Sri Ram,
Wisdom dawns not without association with saints,

Such association cannot be easily had without the grace of Sri Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Crows turn into cuckoos and the herons into swans,

Jai Sri Ram,
The result of an immersion into the sacred waters of this king of holy places is instantly perceived,

Crows turn into cuckoos and the herons into swans,

Valmiki, Narada and Agastya who was born of pitcher, have related the story of their birth and transformation with their own lips,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,
Discourse on karma or action, consisting of injunctions and interdiction, have been spoken of as the sacred Yamuna,

Bringing joy and blessing to those who listen to them

Jai sri Ram,
The gods were robed of their happiness and prosperity,

They then went to Viranchi that Brahma and told him their grievances, the creator found all the gods miserable,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

Jai Sri Ram,
The all wise Shambhu then concentrated His mind and began to meditate on the lord of Raghus,

There is no dearth of suitors and maidens

Jai Sri Ram
If you are specially uniting a pair and cannot help negotiating a match,

There is no dearth of suitors and maidens and those who take delight in such games know no weariness,

As for myself i must wed Sambhu or no matter if i have to continue the struggle for ten million lives,

I will not disregard Narada's admonition even if Shambhu Himself tell me a hundred times to do so,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Who will weigh his merits and demerits,

Jai Sri Ram,
Had you meet me earlier, O great sages,

I would have listened to your advice with reverence,

But now that i have staked my life for Shambhu,

Who will weigh his merits and demerits,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The Great God Shiva

Jai sri Ram,
Gold is another product of rock which does not abandon its character even on being consigned to fire,

I May not ignore Narada's advice, whether my house is full or desolate,

I fear not, he who has no faith in the words of his preceptor cannot easily attain either happiness or success even in a dream,

The Great God Shiva, may be full of faults and Vishnu may be a repository of all virtues, one is however, concerned with him alone who gladdens one's heart,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Exceptionally good looking pious

Jai Sri am,
Shiva is care free now, he lives on alms and enjoy sound sleep,

Can women ever stay in the house of habitual recluses,

Even Now accept out advice, we have thought of an excellent match for you,

 Exceptionally good looking pious, agreeable and amiable, whose glory and exploits are sung by Vedas,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please  

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Tell us, what happiness do you expect by obtaining such a husband,

You have fallen an easy prey to the machinations of that imposter,

Shiva married Sati at the intercession of some friends,

But later on he abandoned her and left her to die,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

his ornaments

Jai Sri Ram,
He would make everyone like himself,

Relying on his words you crave for a husband who is apathetic by nature,

Devoid of attributes, shameless, homeless and naked,

Who has an inauspicious look about him, wear a string of skulls around his neck, is without a family and serpents for his ornaments,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Narada

Jai Sri Ram,
It is he who ruined the home of Citraketu,

And again Hiranyakasipu, the father of Prahlad, met a similar fate,

Men and women who listen to Narada's advice are sure to leave their home and become mendicants,

Guileful at heart, he bears on his person the marks of a pious man,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Narada's prophecy

Jai Sri Ram,
Relying on the truth of Narada's prophecy,

I long to fly even without wings, Look at my madness, I always covet Shiva as my Husband,

Hearing the above reply the sages laughed and dais, after all your body owes its existence to a mountain, tell us who has ever listened to Narada's advice and lived in his home,

He called on and admonished the sons of Dakha and they never saw their home again,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please  

Lord Shiva

Jai Sri Ram,
It is Sri Shravana Shivratri today, a very auspicious day to recall the glory of Lord Shiva,

Shiva, the truth personified and beauty beyond imagination, calm endurance, the bliss following the cessation of mind,well known among all gods,

Shiva, endowed with eight forms, pleasant faced with third eye of intuition, the giver of all the four worldly rewards, the bestower of wishes and giver of boons,

Shiva, the truth of austerity and penance, the processor of virtues, the embodiment of time indicated in ages and aeons, The maker of all the worlds, giver of refuge and savior of suppliant,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Whom do you worship and what do you seek,

Why not confide to us the real secret,

I feel very shy in making my submission, you will be amused to hear of my folly,

Yet my mind has taken a rigid attitude and heeds no advice,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

dispel her doubts

Jai sri Ram,
Going to Parvati, you put her love to the test,

Then directing her father, Himalaya, to her, send her back to her home and dispel her doubts,

There the seers saw Gauri, as she were penance itself personified,

The Sages Said_Hear O Daughter of Himalaya, why are you practising such rigorous penance,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

inspired with devotion, wisdom and piety,

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord was pleased to hear the well chosen words of Sankara, which were inspired with devotion, wisdom and piety,

The Lord Said, your vow has been kept, now bear in mind, what i have told you,

Saying so he went out of his sight,

Sankara cherished the impression of the vision in His heart, that very moment seven sages called on Shiva, the Lord spoke to them in most charming accents,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

paramount duty

Jai Sri Ram
My Lord, your command must be respectfully carried out,

The word's of one's parents, teacher and master must be unquestionably obeyed as conductive to bliss,

You are my supreme benefactor in every-way, therefor, my lord i bow to your command,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

hardly justified

Jai Sri Ram
Now, Shiva, if you have any affection for me,

Listen to my appeal, Go and Marry Sailja, the daughter of Himachal, Grant this Boon to Me,

Shiva replied, although this is hardly justified,

The words of master cannot be set aside,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

most pious doings of Girija

Jai sri Ram,
Lord appeared before Sankara and extolled him in many ways,

Who else than you can accomplish such a vow,

Sri Rama admonished him in many ways and told him of the birth of Parvati,

The Lord in his infinite compassion narrated at full length the most pious doings of Girija,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Rama

Jai sri Ram,
In this way a considerable time elapsed,

Devotion to the feet of Sri Rama was ever budding in his heart,

When Sri Rama saw the self disciplined and affection of Sankara and the indelible stamp of devotion on his heart,

The merciful Lord, who fully recognized services rendered to him, is mine of beauty and amiability and an embodiment of splendor,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

he extolled the virtues of sri Rama

Jai sri Ram
For three thousand years she maintained herself on the withered leaves of the Bela-aegle marmelos,  Finally gave up even dry leaves, then known by the name of Aparna, seeing her body emaciated through self mortification the deep voice of Brahma resounded through the heavens, 

O Daughter of Mountain king, your desire is accomplished, cease all rigorous penance, the shiva will soon be yours, there have been many self possessed and illuminated sages but no one of them performed such penance, cherish in your heart, when your father comes to call you, give up all resistance and return home at once,

The abode of Happiness, Shiva, who is ever free from error, and desire, roamed about on earth with his heart fixed on sri Hari, the delight of the world, Here he instructed the sages in wisdom and there he extolled the virtues of sri Rama,

Though passionless and all wise, the lord was smitten with the pangs of separation from his devotee Sati,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

she observed a rigorous fast

Jai Sri Ram
Her Devotion to the feet of her lord presented a new feet of her lord,

She got so absorbed in penance that she lost all conscious of her body,

For a thousand years she lived on roots and fruits alone,

While for another hundred years she subsisted on vegetables, for some days only substance was water and air, while for few days she observed a rigorous fast,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Uma went to the forest and began her penance

Jai Sri Ram
Cherishing in her heart the feet of her dear lord,

Uma went to the forest and began her penance,

Her delicate frame was little fit for austerity,

Yet she renounced all luxuries fixing her mind on the feet of her Lord,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The Sage Vedasara

Jai Sri Ram
Consoling her parents in many ways Uma set out for penance in a joyous mood,

Her loving household and parents felt miserable and none could speak a word,

The Sage Vedasara then came and consoled them all,

They were comforted when they heard of the glory of Parvati,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram
In fact, the entire creation rests on penance,

Bhavani, bearing this in mind, go and practice austerity,

Hearing these words the mother was filled with wonder,

She sent for Himalaya and communicated the vision to him,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

By virtue of penance

Jai Sri Ram
By virtue of penance the creator creates the universe,

By virtue of Penance Shambhu brings about dissolution,

By virtue of penance Vishnu protects the whole world,

By virtue of penance Sesa bear the burden of the earth,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
