The Sri Ram Stuti
(1) sri ramacandra
krpalu bhaju mana harana bhavabhaya darunam I
navakamja-locana, kamja-mukha, kara-kamja, pada-kamjarunam II
O mind, remember Rama, the Lord of compassion, who will eradicate even the most terrible dread of life; his eyes are like newly-blown lutuses set in his lotus-face; lotus-like are his hands and like ruddy lotuses his feet.
(2) kamdarpa aganita
amita chabi, navanila-nirada sundaram I
pata pital manahu tarita ruci suci naumi janaka sutavaram II
With utmost humility I do obeisance to Sita's consort, Ramacandra, whose boundless beauty excels that of myriads of Cupids (taken together). He is as winsome as the rain-laden clouds. The yellow attire on his body, beautifully and sanctified, looks as charming as the flashes of lighting.
(3) bhaju dinabamdhu
dinesa danava-daitya-vamsa-nikamdanam I
raghunamda anamdakamda kosalacamda dasaratha namdanam II
Meditate on Rama, the delight of the house of of Raghu, root of all bliss, soothing as the moon to the Kosalas, Dasaratha's son, compassionate to the destitute, the scion of the solar race and the extirpator of the demons and diabolical daityas (giants).
(4) sri mukuta kundala tilaka chaaru udaaru anga vibhusanana
ajaanubhuja shara chaap-dhara, sangraama-jit-kharadushanam
He has a (resplendent) crown on his head, a pair of pendants in his ears, a lovely caste-mark on his forehead and ornaments on his lustrous body. The arms that reach the knees are holding the bow and arrows of the conqueror of Khara and Dusana (two of demonic adversaries).
(5) iti vadati tulasida
samkara-sesa-muni-mana-ramjanam I
mama hrdaya-kamj-nivasa kuru, kamadi khala-dala-gamjanam II
Tulasi Das says, “Sri Rama who brings about happiness and joy to the hearts of Lord Shiva and all others, may He reside in the depths of my heart and destroy all the evil thoughts such as desires, temptations, etc.”
