You are the destroyer of
ten-heads and twenty-hands of Ravana, and in the process You expunged
the immense and dense grief on the earth. The group of demons were
like insects and got destroyed in the huge-fire like arrows of
Yours.||2||
You are the ornation of
the earth and the celestial system; You appear more beautiful with an
arrow, a quiver, and a bow in hand. For the night-like rage,
attachment, passion, and great affection, You are like the house of
resplendence; You expurgate the hordes of darkness like the Sun.||3||
The hunter-like-lust has
destroyed the mind; and the deer-like persons have given shelter to
bad sensuality in the heart. O Hari! The persons stricken by lust in
this manner are orphans and You please protect them, who are lost in
the worldly matters and have forgotten their own self.||4||
People are lost in all
worldly diseases and separation, because they have neglected the
[lotus]-feet of Yours. Those who don't love Your lotus-feet never
cross this mundane existence of cycle of life-and-death.||5||
Those who don't have the
affection for Your lotus-feet are very bereaved, malicious and
aggrieved in an endless manner. Those sages who endear the supportive
and absolving story of Yours, automatically acquire the benevolence of
Yours.||6||
The sages who don't
respond to sensual objects, like color, greed, pride and intoxication;
and find themselves in equal bliss during splendor or calamity are
close to You. The saints who destroy their faith in Yoga and take
sainthood to serve You become happy and blissful¹.||7||
The saints who loves You
continuously with respect, purify their heart with devotion for Your
lotus-feet, and treat disrespect and respect equally, wander
trouble-free and blissful on this earth (essentially be dispassionate
for everything except Ram).||8||
I sing praises of Ram, Who
is the bumble-bee for the lotus-like mind of sages, Who is known as
Raghuvir, Who is immense in battle, and Who is undefeated. I sing Your
names and I bow to You, O Hari, Who is like the extra-ordinary
medicine for the disease like cycle of rebirth and Who is the
destroyer of pride.||9||
I continuously bow to Ram,
Who is the best abode of qualities, serenity and mercy, and Who is the
consort of Lakshmi. O Raghunand! Expunge the tussle-cloud situated
inside (me). O Protector of the earth! Cast your glance on this pitied
servant of Yours.||10||
