enraptured to behold Sri Rama

Jai sri Ram,
The whole court was gratified to see Sri Rama and accounted their eyes supremely blest,

Then came the sage Vashista and Visvamitra and were seated on the splendid seats,

The father and sons adorned the sages and clasped their feet,

The two preceptors were enraptured to behold Sri Rama,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

bathed in the holy river Sarayu

Jai sri Ram,
They bathed in the holy river Sarayu,

Having gone through their morning routine of prayer, return to their sire,

The king on seeing them, clasped them to his bosom,

The four brothers gladly sat down on receiving his permission,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

justificatory acts

Jai sri Ram
The four brothers saluted the Brahmans and gods as well as their preceptor and parents,

They were glad to receive their benedictions,

The mothers reverently gazed on their countenance as the princes repaired to the gate with the king,

Though pure in themselves, the four brothers performed all the justificatory acts

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

At the holy hour

Jai sri Ram,
At the holy hour before dawn the Lord awake,

The cocks commenced their beautiful crowing,

The rhapsodists and genealogists sang his praise,

While citizens flocked to the gate to make their obeisance,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

clasp to their bosom

Jai Sri Ram,
In every house women kept vigil and railed at one another in auspicious strains,

The queens said to one another_

See friends, how resplendent the city is,How splendid the night,

The Mother-in-laws then slept with the lovely brides enfolded to their arms even as serpents would clasp to their bosom and gems from their hood,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

half closed at eventide

Jai Sri Ram,
Our prayer is that the number of days that have been spent without seeing you, May not be reckoned by the creator at all,

Sri Rama gratified all his mothers by addressing sweet and polite words to them,

Fixing his  preceptors Vashista and Visvamitra and the Brahmans in general, he closed his eyes in order to seep,

Even during sleep his most charming countenance gleamed as a red lotus, half closed at eventide,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

triumphed over the world

Jai sri Ram,
You gain the glory of having triumphed over the world

You won the hand of Janaka's daughter and then returned home after marrying all your brother's,

All your actions have been super human and were accomplished by the grace of sage Kaushika,

Our Birth into this world has borne fruit today as we now, behold, dear child, your moon like face,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

adamant rock,

Jai sri Ram,
At mere touch of the dust from your feet,

The hermits wife Ahilya attained salvation,

Your glory fulfilled the whole universe,

In the assembly of princes you broke Shiva's Bow, hard though it was as a tortoise shell or adamant rock,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
