clock of asceticism and luxury

Incoherent syllabus

Incoherent syllabus which yields no interpretation and require no repetition, 

But whose efficacy is patent, revealing Shiva's glory,

Place of nectar

Jai Sri Ram,

I reverence, all the four Vedas,

Bark as it were on the ocean of mundane existence,

Which never dream of weariness in singing the untarnished glory of sri Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

soft and charming

Jai Sri Ram,

Poets and wise men, lovely swans sporting in the Mansarovara lake of sri Rama's exploits, 

Hearing my child like prayer,

And recognizing my refined taste,

Kindly disposed towards me, I bow to the lotus feet of Sage who composed the Ramayana, which though containing an account of the demon Khara, is yet very soft and charming,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

i solicit again and again

Jai Sri Ganesha,

The wise admire only poetry which is lucid and portrays  a spotless character,

And which even opponents hear with applause forgetting natural animosity,

Such poetry is not possible without a refined intellect,

And of intellectual power  i have very little, be gracious, therefore so that i may depict the glory of sri Hari, i solicit again and again, 

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

coarse cloth

Jai Sri Ram

This is something incongruous, 

I am afraid of your grace, 

Even this incongruity will turn out well for me, 

Embroidery of silk looks charming even on the coarse cloth,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

poetry and affluence

Jai Sri Ram,

A composition which the wise refuge to honor is fruitless labor which only silly poets undertake,

Of glory, poetry and affluence that alone is blessed which, like the the celestial river Ganga, is conductive to good of all,

The glory of sri Rama is charming indeed,

While my speech is rough,

May lord Bless all,

thanks please 

yet to come

Jai Sri Ram,

Exploits of sri Hari in the spoken language, including those who have flourished in the past,

Those who are still living and those who are yet to come,

Be propitious and grant this boon that my song may be honored in the assembly of pious souls,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,

I bow to the lotus feet of them all,

Let them fulfill all my desires,

I make my obeisance to the bards of the Kali age,

Who have sung the supreme wisdom who belong to the prakrata or popular class who have narrated the exploits of sri Hari in the spoken language,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

charming story

Jai Sri Ram,

Reassuring the mind in this way,

I shall narrate the charming story on the lord of Raghus.

Vyasa and various other top ranking poets,

Who have reverently recounted the blessed glory of sri Hari,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Sages have sung the glory

Jai Sri Ram,

Sages have sung the glory of sri Hari in the past,

It will be easy for me to follow that very path,

If kings get bridges constructed over big rivers,

Which are too broad even the united ants cross them without exertion, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

sing the virtues of the land

Jai Sri Ram,

It is on this strength,

The supreme efficacy of  remembering the Lord and the potency of his grace,

That i shall sing the virtues of the land of Raghus, 

Bowing my head to the feet of sri Rama, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Befriender of the Poor

Jai Sri Ram,

The restorer of what has been lost,

The befriender of the poor,

The Lord of Raghus is a straightforward and powerful master,

Knowing thus the wise sing the glory of sri Hari and thereby hallow and bring supreme reward to their speech,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Guru Purnima,

Jai Sri Ram,

I bow to Sri Rama on the auspicious occasion of Sri Guru Puja,

I Adore him who is fond of devotees, who is impartial yet loves his devotees like anything, who is wish yielding tree to his own devotees, easy to worship and accessible through varying available chapters, bow my head again and again his honor on the auspicious occasion of Sri Sri Vyas Puja,

Thanks please 

Never frowned

Jai Sri Ram,

That he has done only for the good of His devotees,

For he is supremely gracious and loving to the suppliant,

He is excessively fond of his devotees and treat them as His Own,

He has never frowned at him to whom he has once shown his favor,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The Vedas have justified

Jai Sri Ram,

Through all knows the Lord's greatness as such,

Yet none has refrained from describing it,

The Vedas have justified is thus,

They have variously sung the glory of remembering the Lord, God, who is one, desireless, formless, nameless and unborn, who is truth, consciousness and bliss, who is supreme effulgence, all pervading and all formed, it is who has performed many deeds assuming a suitable Form,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

not that, Not that

Jai Sri Ram,

Tell me, of what account is cotton in the face of strong wind before which even mountains like Meru are blown away,

Realizing the infinite glory of sri Rama,

My mind feels very different in proceedings with this story,

Goddess Saraswati, Sesa, the great Lord Shiva, Brahma, the Agamas, the Vedas and the Puranas unceasingly sing his Virtues, saying not that, Not that,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please  

Sri Ekadasi

Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Ekadasi today, a day to rejoice eternally in love with lotus feet of Lord Vishnu, 

Indeed a day to redefine self in love with lotus feet of Lord Vishnu,

A favorable chapter of the fortnight which enlighten the truth of self,

A most favorable ray from light divine to bless the spirit in journey with love and the cause,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

unlimited exploits

Jai Sri Ram,

A word should suffice for the wise,

Entering into the spirit of my Manifold Prayers,

None should blame me on hearing this story,

Those who will raise the objections even then are more stupid and deficient in intellect, which wallows in the world, is a poor match for unlimited exploits of lord of Raghus,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

i shall not be able to exhaust

Jai Sri Ram,

Were I to recount all my vices,

Their tale will assume large dimensions, 

And yet i shall not be able to exhaust them,

Hence i have mentioned very few,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

those pearls

Jai Sri Ram,

If those pearls are pierced with skill and strung together on the beautiful thread of sri Rama's exploits,

And if noble souls wear them in their innocent heart,

Grace in the form of excessive fondness is result,

Those who are born in this terrible age of Kali, who through akin to the crow in their doings have put on the garb of a swan, who tread the evil path, abandoning the track of Vedas, who are embodiment of falsehood and repository of sins of Kali age. who are impostors claiming to to devotees of Sri Rama, though slaves of mammon, anger and passion and who are unscrupulous, hypocritical and formost among intriguer-----i occupy the first place among them,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Poetic effusions,

Jai Sri Ram,

Wise men chant the glory of sri Hari alone, which wipes away the impurities of Kali age,

Finding the bard singing the glories of worldly men the goddess of speech begins to beat her brow and repent,

The wise liken the heart of a poet to the sea, his intellect to the shell containing peals and goddess Saraswati to star called Svati,

If there is a shower in the form of beautiful ideas, lovely pearls make their appearance in the form of poetic effusions, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Sri Rama's exploits

Jai Sri Ram,

Attracted by his own devotion, 

Saraswati-the goddess of poetry, comes with all speed from the abode of Brahma at his very invocation,

The fatigue occasioned by this long journey cannot be relieved by millions of devices unless she takes a dip in the lake of sri Rama's exploits,

Realizing this in their heart, poets and wise men chant the glory of sri Hari alone,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

exercise their charm elsewhere

Jai Sri Ram, 

The charm of them all is enhanced when they adorn the diadem of a king,

Or the person of a Young Lady,

Even so, the wise say, the outpouring of  a good poet originate at one place-in the mind of the poet,

And exercise their charm elsewhere,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Milk of dark cow

Jai Sri Ram,

The milk of even dark cow is white,

And possesses a great medicinal value and is drunk by all,

So do the wise chant and hear the glory of Sita and Rama though couched in the vulgar tongue,

The beauty of a gem, a ruby and a pearl does not catch the eye as it should so long as they are borne on the head of serpent, the top of the mount and the crown of an elephant, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Malaya mountain

Jai Sri Ram,

On the person of Lord Shiva,

Even the ashes of cremation ground appear charming and purify by their thought,

My composition will appear extremely delightful to all by its association withe glory of Sri Rama,

Even as timber of every description is transformed into sandal and becomes worthy of adoration by contact with Malaya mountain and no body takes into account the quality of wood in that region, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Wipes away

Jai Sri Ram,

The tale of the Lord of Raghus, O Tulsidasa,

Brings forth blessings and wipes away the impurities of the Kali age,

The course of this stream of my poetry is torturous like that of the Holy Ganga,

Its association with auspicious glory of the lord my composition will be blessed and will captivate the mind of the virtuous, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please  

Felicity to the world

Jai Sri Ram,

Even smoke rising from burning aloe wood is pungency,

Although my composition is clumsy,

It treats of a commendable theme,

The story of sri Rama, which brings felicity to the world,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Noble company

Jai Sri Ram,

Although it has no poetic charm whatsoever,

The glory of sri Rama is manifest in it,

This is the only hope which flashes on my mind,

Who has not been exalted by noble company,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

A pretty women with a charming countenance

Jai Sri Ram,

Even a composition of marvelous beauty and written by a gifted poet not commend itself without the name of Sri Rama,

A pretty women with a charming countenance and fully adorned does not look attractive when undressed, 

On the other hand, the wise recite and hear with admiration even the composition of a worthless poet,

Which is devoid of all merits knowing it as adorned with the name and glory of Sri Rama, for, like the bee, saints have a bias for goodness,  

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Exceedingly Holy

Jai Sri Ram,

It contains the gracious name of Lord of Raghus,

Which is exceedingly holy and the cream of the Puranas and the Vedas, 

It is the abode of blessings and the remover of evils, 

And is muttered by Lord Shiva,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Men of sound reason

Jai Sri Ram,

It has only one merit,

Which is known throughout the world,

Recognizing this merit, 

Men of sound reason, who are gifted with blessed judgement, will surely hear it,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Blank Sheet

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, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

emotions and sentiments

Jai Sri Ram,

I am not poet nor an adept in the art of speech,

And am a cipher in all art, and sciences,

there are elegant devices of letters, subtleties of meaning, various figure of speech,

Metrical composition of different kind, infinite varieties of emotions and sentiments and multifarious flaws and excellencies of poetic composition, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

bland words of praise,

Jai Sri Ram,

To those, who possess devotion to the feet of God Vishnu, and Shiva,

And whose whose mind is perverse, the tale of chief of the Raghus will taste as sweet,

Knowing it in their heart as adorned with devotion to Sri Rama,

The virtuous will listen to it with bland words of praise,

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 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 

Cataka bird

Jai Sri Ram,

The laughter of the evil will benefit me,

Crows call the cuckoo hoarse,

Herons ridicule the swan,

Frogs make fun of the Cataka bird and malicious rogues deride refined speech,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Humble is my lot

Jai Sri Ram,

Humble is my lot,

And my ambition is high,

My only hope is that all good men will be gratified to hear what i say,

While the evil minded will lough,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Rare Good Soul

Jai Sri Ram,

The world abounds in men who resemble lakes and rivers,

That get swollen with their own rise when waters are added to them,

There is some rare good soul like ocean,

Which swells at the sight of full Moon, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Insipid

Jai Sri Ram,

Those, however, who are hard hearted, mischievous and perverse and cherish others' fault as an ornament,

will feel amused,

Who doesn't like one's own poetry,

Be it delightful or exceedingly insipid,

Such good people as delight to hear other's composition are rare in this world,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

 

Forgive my presumption

Jai Sri Ram,

The virtuous will forgive my presumption,

And listen to my childish babbling with interest,

When a child prattles in lisping accents,

The parents hear it with mind full of delight, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please  

crave for nectar

Jai Sri Ram

Even though my intellect is exceedingly mean, 

My aspiration pitched too high, 

While a crave for nectar,

I have no means in the world to procure even butter milk, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

My ambition

Jai Sri Ram,

I would recount the virtues of the lord of Raghus, Sri Rama, 

Whereas the exploits of sri Rama are unfathomable,

For this i find the least resources,

While i am bankrupt of mind and intellect, my ambition is right royal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
