Abide O Rama

 Jai Sri Ram 

 Listen, Rama, I tell you now the places where you should abide with Sita and Laxman, the heart of those whose ears are, like the ocean, constantly replenished with a number of lovely streams in the shape of your stories but know no surfeit, shall be your charming abode,

Again the heart of those whose eyes long to see you as the Cataka bird longs to see rain clouds, and disdaining like the same bird rivers, oceans, and big lakes, derive satisfaction from a drop of your rain-like beauty, it is their heart alone which shall serve as your delightful home, where you and your brother and consort may take up your abode,

Nay, you should swell in the heart of him whose swan-like tongue picks up peals in the shape of your virtues in the holy Mansarovar of your fame, 

Abide O Rama, in the mind of those whose nose devotedly inhales every day the fragrance of sacred and lovely offerings made to their lord that you, who eat only that which has been offered to you, and put clothes and ornaments first dedicated to you, whose head bow down most lovingly at the sight of god, preceptor and Brahman, whose hands adore your lotus feet, and cherish in their heart with faith on you, and none else, visit holy places sacred to you, even engaged in muttering your name, and relative sacred formulas, offer water to manes, pour oblations to scared fire, feed brahmans generously, wait upon you with due honor and entire devotion, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
