sacrifice

Jai sri Ram,
I offer myself, dear child, as a sacrifice for your sake,

It was through the goodwill of the sage Vishvamitra alone,

That God kept away a number of calamities from you,

Even while you and your brother guarded the sacrifice, you were initiated into all secret lore,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai sri Ram,
As the mothers gazed on the swarthy limbs of Sri Rama,

So soft and attractive, they all exclaimed in loving accents,

How did you manage, dear child, to kill the most dreadful demoness Tadaka on your way to the forest,

How were you able to slay those monstrous giants, the wicked Marica and Subahu and their followers, who were formidable warriors and counted none before them in battle,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

Lovingly laid him down

Jai Sri Ram,
He alone who saw it could know what it was like,

Having thus prepared a number of fine beds the queens took up Sri Rama

Lovingly laid him down upon one of them,

On being repeatedly asked by sri Rama, his brothers too retired each to his own bed,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
The boys are tired and feeling drowsy, go and put them to bed,

So saying he retire to his own bedroom with hand fixed on sri Rama's feet,

Hearing the sweet and loving words of the king, queens made ready bejewelled beds of golds and furnished them with many a rich covering, soft and white as the froth of cow's milk and pillows more charming than words can tell,

The bed chamber made of precious stones was checked with garlands and supplied with perfumes lamps consisting of bright gems and a canopy lovely beyond words,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

take care of them as eyelids protect the eyes,

Jai Sri Ram,
Looking once more at Sri Rama and having perceived his permission they proceeded each to his own house, bowing their head to him,

The love and rapture, merriments and magnanimity, prosperity, splendour and loveliness that manifested there were more than could be told by anyone,

The king then summoned the queens and showing every honour to them all, admonished them in gentle tones,

The brides are yet damsels and have come to a strange house, therefore, take care of them as eyelids protect the eyes,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Night Passed

Jai Sri Ganesha,
After Bathing with his sons the king called Brahmans, the preceptor and his own kinsmen,

Having entertained them at meal, feasted himself on a variety of dishes till a couple of hours of the night passed,

Lovely women sang joyous songs and the night became a source of delight and soul Enchanting,

After rinsing their mouth the king and his party were all given betel leaves and adorned with garlands and sandal paste,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

He gladly took the boys in his arms

Jai sri Ram,
He gladly took the boys in his arms and experienced a thrill of joy which nobody could tell,

The ladies of the gymnasium were delighted to behold this spectacle,

The heart of everyone became an abode of joy, the king related how the wedding had taken place and everyone was delighted to hear the account,

The goodness, amiability, nobility, loving nature and the variety of ways even as a rhapsodise would do, and the queens were entrapped to hear the record of his doings,
