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
