Bandow charana kamal Ragunandana
Jina ki kripaa sakal sukha sampati
Paawana jana bhaktana ura chandana…
Awadha puri prabhu nitya biraajata
Janaka sutaa yuta dushta nikandana…
Teena taapa aru janama marana bhayo
Door karata chhina may jana ranjana…
Bhakta namata charan may Bhagavana
Kripaa kariya sevak bhaya bhanjana…
Explanation
I worship the lotus-like feet of Shri Ram by whose devine grace all swell in bliss and prosperity. Through His grace we attain happiness, a gift given to saints through meditation. His pure-hearted devotee takes chandan on the forehead. The Lord of the universe incarnates as Raam and dwells in Ayodhya. He married Sita the daughter of Janak. Shri Ram is the creator and the destroyer of evil propensities. He controls birth and death and the powers of penance. Shri Ram bestows peace on and removes the sorrows off of his dear devotees. We salute at Your feet, O Lord. Grant tender mercy and forgiveness unto us and dispel all fear and affliction.
