Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
I proceed to relate the story of Sri Rama,

Which secure freedom from the bondage of mundane existence,

First I reverence the feet of Brahmanas, the very gods of the earth,

Who are able to dispel all doubts born of ignorance,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
The dust of the Guru's feet is a soft and agreeable salve,

Which is ambrosia as it were for the eyes,

And remedies the defects of vision,

Having brightened my eyes of discernment thereby, i proceed to relate the story of Sri Rama,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

bowels of the earth

Jai Sri Ram,
As for instance, by applying to the eyes for miraculous salve known by the name of Siddhanjan,

The eye salve of perfection,

Strivers, adepts as well as men of wisdom easily discover a host of mines on hill top,

In the midst of forests and in the bowels of the earth,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Patent and hidden

Jai Sri Ram,

And gems and rubies in the shape of stories of sri Rama,

Eyes of the mind

Jai Sri ram,
The splendor of gems in the form of nails on the feet of the blessed Guru unfolds divine vision in the heart by its very thought,

With its very appearance the bright eyes of the mind get opened,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

It adorns the body of a lucky person even as white ashes beautify the person of lord Shiva,

And brings forth sweet blessings and joys,
