May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please

My intellect, which wallows in the world, is a poor match for the exploiters of the Lord of Ragus,

Realizing the infinite glory of Sri Rama, my mind feels very different in proceedings with this story,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Shiva, a truth beyond the bounds of truth,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Shivratri Mahotsav is being celebrated in spirit to reach the gracious truth of Lord Shiva,

And who are unscrupulous, hypocritical, and foremost among anger and foremost among intriguers,

I occupy the first place among them,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Age

 Jai Sri Ram,

Those who are born in the terrible age of kali,

Who though akin to the crow in their doings have put on the grab of a swan,

Who tread the evil path, abandoning the track of the Vedas,

Who are embodiments of falsehood and repository of the kali age, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

the modern Arcturus

 Jai Sri Ram,

The Swati, the modern Arcturus, the fifteenth lunar asterism considered as the favorite to the formation of pearls, 

If there is a shower in the form of beautiful ideas,

Lovely pearls make their appearance in the form of poetic effusions,

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, grace in the form of excessive fondness is the result,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please  

The bard

 Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please  

Kali age

 Jai Sri Ram,

Attracted by the devotion, Saraswati, comes with all speed from the abode of Brahma, the topmost heaven, at his very invocation, 

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

Realizing this in their heart, poet and wise men chant the glory of Sri Hari alone,

Which wipes away the impurities of the kali age,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Charm

 Jai Sri Ram,

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

In the poet's own mind and exercise their charm elsewhere,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Beauty of a gem

 Jai Sri Ram,

So do the wise chant and hear the glory of Sita and Rama even though couched in the language of common people,

The top mountain and the crown of an elephant respectively,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Medicinal value

 Jai Sri Ram,

Even as the timber of every description is transformed into sandal and becomes worthy of adoration by contact of Malaya mountain,

And nobody takes into account the quality of wood in that region,

The Milk of even a dark cow is white,

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

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please

Sri Purnima

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Maghi Purnima is being celebrated in varying forms in all the three spheres of this universe,

It is not just meridian of the sun in truth with Moon on the planet but the truth of cult to realign mind with self for the cause eternal,

Enlighten self is the true propagator unto teachings on the celestial events that for the cause eternal and eternity of self,

For Man, Sri Purnima could be a milestone in persuing for truth eternal to pause the truth of transmigration, and it needs no extracurricular activity but just realization in truth with self,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

A pretty woman

 Jai Sri Ram,

Muttered by Lord Shiva, the enemy of the demon Tripura, along with his consort Uma,

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

A petty woman with a charming countenance and fully adorned does not look attractive undressed 

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

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Aboad

 Jai Sri Ram,

It contains the gracious name of Lord of Raghu's,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

Men of sound reason,

Who are gifted with unbiased judgment,
