River Narmada which has its source in mount Mekala, a peak of the Amarakantaka hills, is a mine of all attainments as well as of happiness and prosperity,

It is to noble qualities what mother Aditi is to gods,

It is the culmination as it were of devotion to and love for Sri Rama,

The story of Sri Rama is the river Mandakini which washes the foot of Citrakuta , a guileless heart is mount Citrakuta one of the happy resorts of Sri Rama during his wanderings in the forest, while pure love, say, Tulsidasa, is the woodland in which Sita and Rama carry on their divine pastimes,

The tale of Sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
The tale of Sri Rama is the cow of plenty in this age of Kali,

Fire of wisdom

Jai Sri Ram,
Equipped with what little intellectual and critical power i possess i shall write with a heart inspired by sri Hari,

The story i am going to tell is such as will dispel my own doubts, errors and delusion and will serve as a boat for crossing the stream of mundane existence,

The story of Rama is solace to the learned and a source of delight to all men and wipes out the impurities of Kali age,

 Sri Rama's story is a pea hen for the serpent in the form of the Kali age, again, it is a wooden stick for kindling the sacred fire of wisdom,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

I followed it

Jai Sri Ram,
Both the listener and the reciter of the mysterious story of Sri Rama must be repositories of wisdom,

How, then could i, a dull creature steeped in the impurities of the Kali age, expect to follow it,

Nevertheless, when the preceptor repeated the story time after time,

I followed it to a certain extent according to my poor lights, i shall versify the same in the popular tongue, so that my mind may derive satisfaction from it,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Like a myrobalan fruit placed on one's palm,

They hold the past, present and future within their knowledge,

Beside these, other enlightened devotees of Sri Hari too recite, hear and understand this story in diverse ways,

Then I heard the same story in the holy sukaraksetra, the modern soron in the western united provinces from my preceptor, but as i had no sense in those days of my childhood, i could not follow it full well,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Shiva imparted it once more

Jai sri Ram,
Shiva imparted it once more to Kakabhusandi-a sage in the form of crow,

Knowing him to be a devotee of Sri Rama and one qualified to hear it,

And It was Yajnavalikya who received it from Sri Kakabhusandi,

And Narrated it to Bharadvaja, both these listener are equally virtuous, they view all alike and are acquainted with the pastimes of Sri Hari,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

This Ravishing tale

Jai Sri Ram,
The charming story which Yajnavalkya related to the good sage Bhardwaj,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

There is no Lord so generous as Sri Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
There is no Lord so generous as Sri Rama, O Tulsidasa

Your goodness, O Rama, is beneficent to all,

If this is a fact, Tulsidas too will be blessed by the same,

Thus revealing my merits and demerits and bowing my head once more to all, i proceed to sing the immaculate glory of the chief of Raghus, by hearing which the impurities of Kali age were wiped away,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

insolent creatures

Jai Sri Ram,
The Hero of Raghu's clan, on the other hand, honored them both at His meeting with Bharata on his return from Lanka and commanded them in open court,

While the Lord sat at the foot of tree,

The monkeys perched themselves high on the boughs,

Such insolent creatures He exalted to His own Position,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

the same offence but

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord Never cherishes in His mind the lapse, if any,

On part of a devotee, while he remembers the latter's spirit a hundred times,

For instance, the very crime of which he had killed Vali,,

Even as a huntsman was repeated in the misdemeanor perpetrated by Sugreeva, Vibhishana too was guilty of the same offence but Sri Rama took no cognizance of it even in dream,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

devotee's mind,

Jai Sri Ram,
The lord on the other hand, applauded my devotion,

If there is nothing good in one's heart,

it is marred by telling, for sri Rama is pleased to note what is there there in the devotee's mind,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

tale of my sin

Jai Sri Ram,
My presumption and error are indeed great,

Hearing the tale of my sin, even hell turned up its nose at them,

I shudder to think of it due to my assumed fears,

While Sri Rama took no notice of them even in a dream,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Jai Sri Ram

Jai sri Ram,
The benevolent Rama will nonetheless respect the devotion and pleasure of this wicked servant,

Sri Rama, who made barks out of rocks and wise counselors out of monkeys and bears,

Everybody calls me a servant of the Lord and I myself claim to be one,

And sri Rama puts up with the scoffing remarks that a master like Sita's Lord has a servant like Tulsidasa,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
And the pious, sensible,amiable and supremely compassionate ruler, who takes his descent from a ray of God, greet all with sweet words,

Hearing their compliments and appraising their composition, devotion, supplication and conduct,

Such is the way of earthly monarchs, to say nothing of Sri Rama,

Who is crest jewel of wise men, Sri Rama gets pleased with unalloyed love, but who is duller and more impure of mind in this world than I,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,
In the world as well as in the Vedas we observe the following characteristic in a good master,

That he he comes to recognize one's devotion to him as soon as he hears one's prayer,

All men and woman extol the king according to his or her light,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Rama a noble Lord

Jai Sri Ram,
Remembering that name and bowing my head to the lord of Raghus,

I proceeded to recount the virtues of Sri Rama,

He whose grace is never tired of showing its good will to others will mend my errors in everyday,

Rama a noble Lord, and a poor servant like myself, yet true to his own disposition that storehouse of compassion has fostered me,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Jai sri Ram

Jai Sri Ram,
The Name of Sri Rama is, as it were, the lord Manifested as a man-loin and the age of Kali, the demon Hiranyakasupu,

In an angry mood or even while yawning, diffuses joy in all the ten directions

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Killed by Sri Hanuman

Jai Sri Ram,
The age of Kali is as it were the demon Kalanemi,

The repository of all wiles,

Whereas the Name is the wise and mighty Hanuman,

The Story of Kalanemi and his death at the hands of Sri Hanuman has been briefly told that he was a demon chief that contemporary of Ravana, assumed the false appearance of an ascetic and tried to deceive Hanuman but was ultimately detected and Killed By Hanuman,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Only Resort

Jai Sri Ram,
The name of Rama is the bestower of one's desired object in this age,

And one's father and mother in this world,

In Kaliyug neither Karma nor Bhakti nor Jnana avails, the name of Rama is the only resort,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The verdict of the Vedas and Puranas

Jai Sri Ram,
The verdict of the Vedas and Puranas as well as of saints is just this,

That love of Rama or the Name Rama, is the reward of all virtues acts,

In the first age, contemplation, In second age, sacrifice, In third age the lord is propitiated through worship,

In this age-the Kali age, however simply corrupt and root of all impurities, where the mind willow like a fish in the ocean of sin, in this terrible age the name alone is the wish yielding tree, the very thought of which put an end to all the illusions of the world,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Not even Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
The vile Ajamila and even the celebrated elephant and the harlot of the legend were liberated by the power of Sri Hari's Name,

I have no words to depict the glory of the Name,

Not even Rama can adequately glorify it,

The Name of Sri Rama is a wish yielding tree, the very home of beatitude in this age of Kali, by remembering which Tulsidasa was transformed from an intoxicating drug like hump plant into holy basil,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Holy Name

Jai Sri Ram,
Dhruva repeated the name of Sri Hari with a feeling of indignation,

The harsh treatment received from his step mother,

And thereby attained a fixed and incomparable station in the heavens,

It is by remembering the Holy Name that Hanuman holds Sri Rama under his thumb,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Narada

Jai sri Ram,
Again, it is by the grace of the Name alone that Siddhas that adepts, Sages and Yogis like Suka and Sankadik and others enjoy divine raptures,

Narada realized the glory of the name, that is why, while Hari is beloved of the world,

And Hara is dear to the Hari and And Narada is dear to Sri Hari and Hara Both,

It was because of his repeating the name that the Lord showered His grace on Prahalada, who thereby become the crest jewel of devotees,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

bestower of Boons

Jai sri Ram,
The name is thus greater than Brahma and Sri Rama both,

And confers blessings even on the bestower of Boons,

Knowing this in His heart, the great Lord Shiva chose this word Rama for himself out of Sri Rama's story comprising 100 crore verses,

By the grace of the Name alone lord Shambhu is immortal and though endowed with inauspicious paraphernalia is yet a store house of blessings,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama killed in battle Ravana with all his family and returned to his own city with Sita,

He then crowned king in the capital of Ayodhya, while gods and sages sung his glories in choicest phrases,

His Servants are, however, able to conquer the formidable army of error by fondly remembering his Name,

And absorbed in devotion, move about in joy which is peculiarly their own, by grace of the name they not sorrow even in dream,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

in the Vedas

Jai Sri Ram,
This superb glory of the name shines forth in the world as well as in the Vedas,

Sri Rama collected an army of bears and monkeys and took no little pain over the construction of a bridge,

To connect the mainland with island Lanka,

Through the repetition of his Name, however, the ocean of mundane existence itself dried up, let the wise bear this in mind,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

His Name

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord of Raghus conferred immortality only on faithful servants like Sabari and the Jatayu,

While His name has delivered innumerable wretches, the tale of its virtues is well known in the Vedas,

As is well known to all, Sri Rama extended His protection to two devotees only, Sugreeva and Vibhishan,

His name, on the other hand, has showered its grace on numerous humble souls,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Rebirth

Jai Sri Ram,
For the sake of sage Vishvamitra Sri Rama wrought the destruction of Suketu's daughter Tadaka, with her army and Son Subahu,

While his name put an end to the devotee's vain hopes along with errors and sorrows even as the sun terminates night,

In his own person Sri Rama, broke the bow of Shiva,

While the very glory of his name dispel the fear of Rebirth,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
By fondly repeating His Name, on the other hand,

Devotees easily become abodes of joy and blessings,

Sri Rama himself redeemed a single woman Ahilya, the wife of an ascetic,

While His name corrected the error of crores of wicked souls,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

The glory of the name

Jai sri Ram,
The glory of the name is thus infinitely greater than that of the absolute,

I shall show below how in my judgement the name is superior even to Sri Rama,

For The sake of his Devotees Sri Rama assumed the form of a human being,

And suffering calamities himself, brought relief to the pious,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

nonetheless miserable and unhappy,

Jai sri Ram,
Even though such immutable lord is present in every heart,

All beings in this world are nonetheless miserable and unhappy,

Though the practice of the Name preceded by its true appraisement,

However, the same Brahma reveals itself even as the value of a jewel is revealed by its correct knowledge,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Compact mass of joy

Jai Sri Ram,
Though both are inaccessible by them selves,

They are easily attainable through the name,

Therefore, i have called the name greater than Brahma and sri Rama both,

Brahma is one. all pervading and imperishable, he is all truth, conscious and a compact mass of joy,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

fire which is latent in wood

Jai Sri Ram,
Friends should not take this as a bold assertion on the part of this servant,

I record my mind's own conviction, partiality and liking,

The tow aspects of Brahma should be recognized as akin to fire,

The one that absolute represent the fire which is latent in wood, while other qualified divinity corresponds to that which is externally visible,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please
