1.7 Protection of the fire sacrifice of Viswamithra.
Akkalam Viswamithranaakiya muni kula,
Mukhyan Ayodhyakku ammar ezhunelli dinaan,
Ramanayi avaniyil Mayaya janichoru,
Komalamay a roopam poondoru parathmanaam,
Sathyagnan anatha aanandamrutham kandu kolvaan,
Chithathil niranjaasu vazhinja bhakthiyode.
At that time the great sage who was called Viswamithra,
Came on a visit to Ayodhya , knowing that Rama,
Was born in this earth due to the act of illusion,
And is really the divine soul who has taken a pretty form,
And with a view to see the real wisdom and endless nectar of joy,
He came with desire filled in his mind and mind ebbing with devotion.
Kousikan thanne kandu Bhoopathi Dasrathan,
Aasu sambhramathodum , prathyuthanavum cheythu,
Vidhi nandhananodum chennu yethirethu yadha-,
Vidhi poojayum cheythu vandhichu ninnu bhakthyaa,
Sasmitham muni varan thannodu cholledinaan,
“ Asmath janmam yinnu vannithu saphalamai,
Ninthiruvadi yezhunneliya moolam kruthar-,
Thaa anthrathmaavayithu jnan iha thaponidhe,
Inganeyulla ningal ezhunelledum desam ,
Mangalamai vannasu sampathum thane varum,
Yenthonnu chithichezhunelliya thennu yippol,
Ninthiruvadi arul cheyyanam, dhaya nidhe,
Yennal aakunnathellam cheyvaan jnaan madiyathe ,
Chonnalum paramartham thapasa kula pathe .”
On seeing sage Kaushika, the king Dasaratha,
With great nervousness started welcoming him,
And along with sage Vasishta , the son of Brahma,
He saluted him and with great devotion and smile,
Told that great sage as follows:-
“Due to your coming my birth has become fruitful,
And by the coming of your great self , the soul within me,
Has become contended , oh great sage,
The country which your great self has visited ,
Would become auspicious and wealth will come there,
Oh treasure of mercy , be pleased to tell me,
With what objective did you come here?
I would do anything which is possible by me ,
Without hesitation, Oh lord among sages , please tell the real reason.”
Viswamithranum , preethanai arul cheutheedinaan,
Viswasathode Dasarathanodu athu neram,
“Jnaan amavasya thorum , pithru devadhikale ,
Dhyanichu cheytheedunna homathe mudakkunnor,
Mareecha , Subahu mukhyanamaaraam nakthancharanmar,
Iruvarum , anucharanmaraayu ullorum,
Avare nigrahichu , yagathe rakshippan,
Aayi . avaneepathe , Rama devane ayakkanam,
Pushkaroth bhava puthran thannodu nirooppichu,
Lakshmananeyum koode nalkanam madiyathe ,
Nallathu vanneduga , ninakku Maheepathe,
Kalyana mathe , Karuna nidhe , nara pathe.”
Becoming pleased sage Viswamithra told,
With great hope to Dasaratha at that time,
“On every new moon day , meditating,
On the mane gods , I do a fire sacrifice,
But this is being stopped by Rakshasas,
Like Mareecha, Subahu and their assistants,
For killing them and protecting the fire sacrifice,
Oh king , you have to send God Rama,
And he told this to sage Vasishta also,
And without any hesitation you have ,
To send Lord Lakshmana also,
Let all that is good come to you, oh king,
Oh auspicious one , oh treasure of mercy , Oh lord of men.”
Chintha chanchalanaya pankthisyandana nrupan,
Manthrichu , guruvinodu yekanthe chollinaan,
“Yendu cholvathu ,. Guro, Nandanan thanna mama,
SAnthyajicheeduvathinallallo , sakthiyottum,
Yethrayum kothicha kalathingal deiva vasaal,
Sidhichu thanayanaam Ramane piriyumbol,
Nirnayam marikkum jnaan, Ramane nalkeedaanjaal,
Anvaya nasam koode varuthum Viswamithran,
Yenthonnu nallathipol yennu nin thiruvadi,
Chinthichu thirichu aruli cheitheeduga venam.”
Getting worried that king belonging to the clan of Sun,
Calling his Guru told to him in private ,
“Oh teacher , what should I tell him,
It is not for sacrificing my son that , at a time,
When I was weak and desiring for a son,
I got by God’s grace Rama as a son and by parting with him,
I will definitely die and if I do not give Rama,
Viswamithra would completely destroy our clan,
Your honour may be pleased to tell me now,
After great thought, as to what I should tell him.”.
“yengilo deva guhyam kettalalum athi gopyam,
Sankadamundakenda , santhatham dhara pathe,
Manushanalla Raman , Manava Shikhamane,
Manamilatha paramathmavu, sadanandan,
Padma sambhavan , munnam prarthikka moolamai,
Padma lochanan bhomi bharathe kalavaanai,
Ninnude thanayanai , Kousalya devi thannil,
Vannavatharichathu , Vaikundan, Narayanan.”
“Then please hear from me the secret of the devas,
Which is being kept as greatly secret and oh king,
There is no reason for you to be sorry about.
Oh great gem among men, Rama is not a man,
The divine soul who is forever joyful and who does not have any measure,
As a result of prayers done earlier by Lord Brahma,
Lord Vishnu who is in Vaikunda, who is Narayana himself
For the sake of reducing the burden of this world,
Has taken incarnation as your son and Kausalya’s son .
Ninnude Poorva janmam, cholluvan , Dasaratha,
Munnam nee Brahmathmajan , Kasyapa prajapathi,
Ninnude pathniyakum Adithi , Kousalya kel,

Prathyakshee bhavichu “Nee vangi kol varam” yennan,
“Puthranaayi pirakkanam yenikku bhavaan”, yennnu,

Pruthweendra, Seshan thane Lakshmanan aakunnathuthum,
SAnkha chakrangalallo Bharatha Sathrugnanmaar ,
SAnkha kai vittu kettu kondalum iniyum nee.”
Oh Dasaratha, I will now tell you about your previous birth.
Earlier you were Kasyapa Prajapathi , son of Lord Brahma,
And Adhithi who was your wife then is now Kausalya.
Both of you together did very tough penance for several years,
To get a son and repeated it again and again,
Addressed to Lord Vishnu along with worship and meditation.
That God who likes his devotees , who blesses and who is divine,
Came in person before you and asked, “ You receive the boons from me,”
And because you immediately requested him,
“You should be born as our son,” . today that lord,
Has born as your son Rama, please understand this.
Oh king Lord Adhisesha is born as your son Lakshmana,
And Vishnu’s wheel and conch have been born as Bharatha and Shatrugna,
And so leave away all these doubts and also hear the following.”
“yoga maya deviyum , seethayaay mithilayil,
Yaga velayaam, ayonijayay undai vannu,
AAgathnaayaam Viswamithran avar thammil,
Yogam kooteeduvathine arinjedenam , nee,
Yetrayum guhyamithu vakthavya malla thanum,
Puthrane koode ayacheeduga madiyathe.”
In Mithila , The Goddess Yog maya has been born ,
Without born from any being , in the stage of penance
And you understand that Sage Vswamithra who has come here ,
Would make a meeting possible between them,
This is a great secret and should not be told to any one,
And so without hesitation send your son.”

Dasaratha who became very happy , saluted,
Sage Kausika , worshipped as per procedure and along with great devotion,
Saying “You can take Rama and Lakshmana along with you,”
The king gave his sons to him with great joy, and he calling,
“Come Rama , Rama , come Lakshmana “ Took them near to him,
And embraced them close to his heart in a tight manner,
Caressed and caressed them, , kissed them on their head,
And told them, “Go so that all good will come to you,”
Those lads then saluted the lotus like feet of their father and mother,
And also saluted the feet of the sage who was their guru,
And later went and saluted sage Viswamithra.
For the sake of protecting the world the sage took them,’
And sage Kasyapa and along with those royal lads armed with,
Bow, quiver , arrows and sword , bid farewell to others after blessing them.
Along with those lads of divine feet Viswamithra walked,
And after seeing some countries after a sauntering walk,
Smiled at them and told them,
“ Hey Rama, Hey Raghava, Hey Rama , Hey lad Lakshmana , please hear.
You both are only handsome lads and you since both have been brought up,
Without knowing what is hunger and thirst , for you not suffering from ,
Hunger and thirst , there are two great lessons called Bala and Athibala.
Without any hesitation please learn them and then chant the same.”
Deva nirmatham kalee vidhyakal yennu Rama-
Devannum anujannum upadesichu muni,
Kshul pipasaadhikalum theernna Balanmarum aayi,
Appozhe Ganga kadaneedinaan Viswamithran.
The sage to ld them that this knowledge is made by devas,
And he taught them these manthras,
Learning which the boys got rid of hunger and thirst,
And immediately sage Viswamithra crossed the river Ganges with tem.
1.8 Killing of Thataka
Thataka vanam prapicheedinor anantharam ,
Gooda smeravum poondu paranju Viswamithran,
“Raghava. SAthya parakrama varidhe , Rama,
Pokumaarilla vazhiaarum ithu kaalam,
Kaadithu kanaayo nee? Kama roopiniyaya,
Thataka bhayangary vaaneedum desamallo,
Avale pedichu aarum ner vazhi nadappeela,
Bhuvana vasi janam , bhuvaneswara, Pothi,
Kollanam avale nee valla jathiyum mathi-
Nilloru doshamennu mamuni paranjappol,
Melleve yonnu cheru jnaan oli cheythu , Raman,
Yella lokavum onnu virachathu athu neram,
Cheru jnan oil kettu kopichu nisachari,
Perike vega thodumaduthu bakshippanai,
Anneram oru saramayachu Raghavanum,
Chennu thadaga maril kondithu Rama Banam,
Paara athil mala chirakathu veenathu pole,

Sapathaal nakthanjariyayoru yakshi thanum ,
Prapichu devalokm Ramadeva Anugnayaa,
Kousika muneendranum divayasthra ngale yellam,
Maasu Raghavanodu upadesichu salakshmanam.
They then reached the forest of Thataka,
And Viswamithra told with a mysterious smile,
“Oh Raghava, , Oh ocean of valour , Oh Rama,
These times no body goes these way,
Do you see this forest, This is a horrible place ,
Where Thadaka who can take any form lives.
And fearing her none of the people of earth,
walks on this straight road, Oh lord of earth , salutations,
When the great saint told, “You have to kill her,”
there are no problems, to whatever group or clan she belongs,
Rama twanged the string of his bow slightly,
And at that time when the entire world shivered,
That Thataka who travels at night became very angry,
Rushed towards Rama to eat him,
And Rama at that time sent an arrow,
And that arrow of Rama went and hit the chest of Thataka,
And that horrible looking Thataka fell on the ground,
Like a mountain falling on earth when its wings are cut,
And there a pretty Yakshi decorated fully,
With ornaments of Gold and jewels appeared,
And when she told that she became a Rakshasi,
Due to a curse , Rama permitted her to go and
She reached the world of devas, and
That great sage called Kausika taught ,
Both Rama and Lakshmana several divine arrows.
Nirmalanmaaraam kumaranmaarum muneendranum,
Ramya kanane thathra vasichu Kaamaasrame,
Rathriyum pinittavar Sandhya vandanam cheythu,
Yathrayum thudanginaara aasthaaya pularkaale.
Those pure lords and that great sage ,
Lived in the Kamasrama* in that pretty forest,
And after the night , they completed their morning rituals ,
And they re started their travel in the early morning.
*Place where God of love was killed by Lord Shiva.
Pukkithu Sidhasramam Viswamithranum muni-,
Mukhyanmaar yethirethu , vandichar athu neram,
Rama Lakshmananmaaru, vandhichu munigale ,
Premam ulkkondu muni maarum salkaram cheythaar,
Visramichu anantharam Raghavan thiruvadi,
Viswamithrane nokki preethi poondu arul cheythu,
“Thapasothamaa, Bhavaan deekshikka Yaga mini,
Thaapam koodathe rakshicheeduvaa nethu cheythum,’
Dushtaraam nisacharendranmaare kaatti thannal,
Nashtamaakuvaan banam kondu jnaan thaponidhe.
Then they entered the Sidhasramam of Viswamithra, ,
And they were received there by the chief sages,
They also saluted them at that time and Rama,
As well as Lakshmana also saluted the sages.
With great love the sages treated them hospitably ,
And after taking rest the honourable Rama,
Looked at sage Viswamithra and asked with love,
“Oh great sage , please conduct your fire sacrifices now,
And by doing whatever is needed , I would protect it ,
Without much trouble to you all, if you show,
Those very bad asuras ,I would destroy with my arrows.”
Yagavum deekshichithu , kousikan athu kaalam,
Agamichathu nakthancharanmaar padayodum,
Madhyahna kale , mel bagathingal ninnu thathra,
Raktha vrushtiyum thudangeedinaar athu neram,
Paarathe randu saram thoduthu Ramadevan,
Mareecha Subahu veeranmaare prayogichaan,
Konnithu Subahuvaam avane oru saram,
Anneram Marrechanum bheethi poondu odeedinaan,
Chennithu Ramabanam pinnaale koode koode,
Khinnana yeriyoru yojana paanjan avan,
Arnavam thannil chennu veenithu Mareechanum,
Anneram avideyum , chennithu dahippanai.
Sage Koushika started observing Yaga at that time,
And the Rakshasas came there with an army,
And at after noon, they started the rain of blood,
And without even seeing them , Rama sent two arrows,
Aimed at the heroes called Mareecha and Subahu,
And one of those arrows immediately killed Subahu,
And at that time With great fear Mareecha started running away,
But the Arrow of Rama followed him again and again,
And the very tired Mareecha ran for another Yojana distance,
And That Marrecha went and fell in to the sea ,
But even there the arrow went to burn him.
Pinne mathengumoru saranam millanju avan,
“Yenne Rakshikkane “ yennu abhayam pukkedinaan,
BHaktha vathsalan abhayam koduthathu moolam,
Bhakthanai vannaan annu thudangi Marrechanum,

Thal kshane koopi Sthuthi chethavum aanadhichar,

Vathsanmaareyum bhujipichathu vathsalyathaal,
Irunnu moonu dinam ororo puranangal,
Paranju rasippichu Kousikan avarumai.
Later since there was no other method to save himself.
He surrendered to Rama saying “ Pease save me”,
And since that lover of devotees gave him protection,
Mareecha from that time became a devotee of Rama,
And the god of death to his enemies Lakshmana ,
Killed by his arrows all the rest of their army ,
The devas rained flowers due to great happiness,
The deva drummers at that time their drums loudly,
Yakshas, Kinnaras , Sidhas, Charanas and Gandharwas,
Immediately saluted them and started singing their praise ,
And sage Viswamithra became extremely happy ,
Caressed them and with his lotus like eyes full of tears,
Hugged them tightly and gave them his divine blessings.
With great love he offered food to those lads ,
And for the next three days sage Kousika related,
The epics and made them extremely happy.
Arul cheyythithu naalaam divasam pinne muni,
“Aruthu vrudhaa kalam kalakennulla thethum,
Janaka mahee pathiyude Maha yagnam
INi vaikaathe kaanmaan poga naam vathsanmaare,
Chollezhum trayambakamakina Maheswara,
Villundu , videha rajyathingal irikkunnu,
Sri Maha devan thane vechirikkunnu pura,
Bhoomi palendranmaaraal architham anu dinam,
Kshonee palendra kula jathanaakiya bhavan,
Kananam maha sathwamakiya Dhanu rathnam.”
After telling this on the fourth day the sage again told,
“You should not unnecessarily waste time doing nothing,
The great king Janaka is conducting a great fire sacrifice,
And hey lads , we would go to see it without delay ,
There is a famous bow belonging to the great god Shiva,
Called Trayambaka in the kingdom of Videha king,
It has been kept there at olden times by Lord Shiva himself,
And it is daily being worshipped by the rulers of earth,
And so you who were born in a family that rules the earth,
Should see that gem of a bow which is a great holy thing.”
Thapasendranmaarodum yee vannam arul cheythu,
Bhoopathi balanmaarum koode poye Viswamithran,
Prapichu Ganga theeram , Gowthamasramam thatra,

“Aasrama padam idhanmarkkullu , manohara,
Masraya yogyam Nana janthu varjitham , thanum,
Yethrayumaahladham undayithu manasi may,
Thathwam yendennatharul cheyyanam.”
He also told like this to the great sages who were there,
And Viswamithra went along with the sons of the king.
They reached the shore of Ganga and there they say the hermitage of Gowathama,
Which was having a great luster , which was holy and capable of giving joy.
It was full of divine trees which were laden with flowers and fruits,
It was greatly pretty and was bereft of the traffic of animals.
Rama saw that and became curious and seeing Viswamithra asked,
“To whom does this pretty hermitage , which is suitable for living,
Which does not have various types of animals ,belong?
My mind is full of positive emotions of joy,
And see kindly tell me , why is that?”
1.9 Ahalya Moksham
Yennathu kettu Viswamithranum ura cheythu,
Pannaga sayi paran thannodu paramartham,
Kettalum , pura vruthamengilo Kumaraa, nee,
Vattamillatha thapasulla Gowthama muni,
Gangarodhasi nalloru aasramathingal athra,
Mangalam vardhicheedum thapasaa vaazhum kalam,
Lokesan nija suthayay ulloru Ahalyayaam,
Loka sundariyaya , divya kanyaka rathnam,
Gowthama muneendrannu koduthu vidhathavum,
Kowthukam poondu Bharya bharthakkanmaar aayavar,
Bharthru susrooshaa brahma charyadhi gunangal,
Kandethrayum prasadhichu , Gowthama muneendranum,
Thannude pathniyayor ahalya yodum chernnu,
Parna salayilathra vasichu chira kalam.
Hearing this, sage Viswamithra told,
The divine one who sleeps on a snake “please ,
Hear the truth about what happened in the past, Oh prince,
When Sage Gowthama who did very great unfading penance,
At the shore of river Ganges, in a very good hermitage ,
Was living here , which is auspicious and suitable for penance,
Lord Brahma gave his daughter Ahalya , who was prettiest in the world,
And who was a divine damsel to sage Gowthama to marry.
With happiness those wife as well as husband . Sage Gowthama,
Observing her service to the husband and living according to Dharma,
Became very pleased with her , lived with his wife Ahalya in this hermitage for some time.
Viswa mohiniyayma Ahalya roopam kandu
Duschyavanamum kusumayudha vasanaayaan,
Chenthondi vai malarum pandhokkum mulakalum,
Chanthameridum thuda kambum aswathipethinnu,
Yenthoru kazhivennu chinthichu satha mukhan,
Chenthar banarthi lkondu santhapam muzhukkayaal,
Santhatham manakombil Sundara gathri roopam,
Chinthichu chinthichu anangandhanai vannanallo .
Seeing the form of Ahalya who was bewitcher of the world,
Lord Indra fell under the influence of God of love,
Lord Indra thought how to enjoy Her mouth which was like a red flower ,
Her breasts which were lie ball,and her extremely pretty thighs ,
And due to the effect of god of love which extremely increased,
Her pretty form occupied his mind and he became mad with love.
Antharathmani vibudhendranu mathinippol,
Antharam varathe oru anthara , menthennorthu,
Lokesathmaja sutha nandanande roopam,
Naka nayakan kai koda anthya yamadhiyingal,
Sandhya vandhanathinnu Gowthaman poya neram,
Antharaa pukkanudajanthare paravaaal.
Due to his pain in the inner soul that Indra,
Wanted to find an end this and find a chance,
And Indra took the form of Gowthama , the great grandson,
Of Brahma and during the last ending period of night,
When sage Gowthama went to do his morning oblations,
He entered the hermitage of the sage completely lovelorn.
Soothramaiavan ahalyaye prapichu sa sambhramam,
Sathwaram purapetta nerathu Gowthamanum,
Mithran than udayam ottadutheelennu kandu,
Badha sandeham chenna nerathu kaanai vannu,
Vruthra rathrikku muni sreshtane balaal appol,
Vithrastha mai yethrayum vepadhu poondu ninnan.
At the time, When he urgently started from there , after,
Making love to Ahalya using a trick, sage Gowthama,
Seeing that the time for rising Sun has not yet come,
And getting a doubt returned early and urgently ,
And Indra seeing the sage at that time became scared ,
And started shivering all over the body.
Thannude roopam parigrahichu varunnavan thanne,
Kandu athi kopam kai kondu muneendranum,
“Nillu nilla aarakunnathu yenthithu dushtathmaave,
Chollu chollennodu nee yellame paramartham,
Vallathe mama roopam kai kolvaan yenthu moolam,
Nirlajjanaya Bhavan yethoru Maha papi,
SAthyamennodu cholledarinjaa allo thava,
Vruthantham parayaykil bhasmamakkuvan yippol.”
Seeing one who has taken his own form ,
That great sage became very angry and asked,
“Stop , stop , Hey bad soul , who are you?
Tell , tell the truth to me completely,
Why did you assume my form,
Hey shameless one, which great sinner are you?
Tell the truth and if I do not understand ,
Who you are , I will burn and make in to ash.”
Chollinaan athu neram , thapasendrane nokki,
“Swarlokadhipathiyaa , kama kinkaran aham,
Vallayma yellam akapettithu , moodathwam kondu,
Yellam ninthiruvadi poruthu kollename.”
He told at that time , seeing that great sage,
“I am the servant of passion who rules the heavens,
Due to my weakness and foolishness I have been caught ,
All these may kindly be pardoned by your great self.”
“Sahasra bhaganayi bhavikkuga bhavaan ini,
Saheecheeduga cheytha dush karma phalam yellam,”
Thapsweeswaranaaya gowthamam devendrane ,
SApiuchu asramamakam pukku , appol Ahalyayum,
Vapadhu poondu nilkunnathu kandarul cheythu,
Tahapsothamanaaya Gowthaman kopathode,
“Kashtam yethrayum duruvrutham, Durachare,
Dushtamanase , Thava samarthyam nannu paaram,
Dushta kruthyam odunguvan ithinnu cholleduvan,
Nish krithi yayulloru dusthara mahavrutham.”
“From today you would have thousand generative organs,
On you , bear the results of bad acts that have been committed by you,”
Thus the great sage Gowthama cursed devendra and entered the hermitage,
There Ahalya stood sweating and seeing her he told her,
“Alas , hey woman with bad character, this your bad behavior,
Hey woman with a bad mind, your cleverness is really great,
To put an end to the bad acts of yours, I will tell,
A great penance for you, so that you will repent.”
“Kama kinkare, sila roopam kai kondu nee,
Rama padabhjam bhajichivide vasikkanam,
Neehara thapa vayu varshadhikalum sahichu,
Aaharadhikal yethum koodathe diva rathram,
Nana janthukkal onnum ivide undai varaa,
Kanana dese madheeyasrme, manohare.”
“Hey servant of passion, You should take the form of a stone,
And live here always thinking of the feet of Rama,
Suffering in snow, sun, wind and rain ,
Without any food during day and night ,
And no beings would ever come here,
And live In this pretty hermitage of mine.”
“Ingane pala divya vathsaram kazhiyumbol,
Ingezhunellum Rama devanum anujanum,
Sri Rama Padambuja sparsa mundayidum naal,
Theerum nin durithangal yellam yennarinjalum,
Pinne nee bhakthiyode poojichu vazhipole,
Nannai pradakshinam cheythu , kumbitu koopi,
Nadhane sthuthikkumbol sapa mokshavum vannu,
Puthramanasa aayal yenneyum susreeshikkam,
Yennarul cheythu Muni himaval parvatham pukkan,
Annu thottu ivide Vaneedunnal Ahalyayum,”
“Like that when several holy years have passed,
God Rama and his brother would come here,
And that day when you are touched by the feet of Rama,
Understand that all your sufferings will come to an end,
They you should worship him with great devotion,
And go round him properly , salute him,
And when you pray that Lord, you would get out of this curse,
And if your mind becomes pure, you can also serve me,”
Saying like this that sage entered the Himalaya mountains,
And from that day Ahalya is staying here.”
“Nin thiru malaradi chenthalir podi yelppan,
Yenthoru kazhivennu chinthichu chithichu ullil,
SAnthapam poondu kondu santhatham vasikkunnu,

Brahma nandanayaya, Gowthama pathniyude,
Kalmasha seshavum ninnude padangalaal,
Unmoola nasanam varutheedanam innu thanne,
Nirmalayai vannedum ahalyaa devi yennal.”
Thinking and thinking that when she will get coated ,
By the fine dust of your flower like feet , with a sad mind,
She who is the daughter of Brahma and wife of Gowthama,
Is always living here , Hey wish giving tree of happiness,
Hey wish giving gem, and that lady with a body of stone,
Is here in a form which cannot be found out by any One,
Doing very great penance , and today itself ,please destroy,
Completely without leaving even a bit so that,
Ahalya in her very pure form will come here.”
Gadhi nandanan , dasarathi yodevam paranju,
Aasu trukkayyum pidichudajanganam pukkaan,
‘Ugramaam thapassodum irikkum sila roopa,
Maagrekankennu kaatti koduthu munivaran.
After telling thus to Lord Rama, Sage Viswamithra,
Held his hand and lead him inside the hermitage,
And showed him the stone form that ,
Was doing the great penance there.
Sri Padambujam melle vechithu Ramadevan,
Sripathi, Raghupathi, Salpathi, Jagalpathi,
Ramoham yennu pranju aamodham poondu nadhan,’

God placed his lotus like feet in a tender fashion,
And that God who is consort of Lakshmi, the lord of Raghu clan,
Good lord , lord of the universe told with happiness,
“I am Rama” and saluted the wife of the great sage.
At that time Ahalya was able to see Lord Rama,
And words cannot tell about how much happiness she felt,
Along with sage Kaushika who was excelling in penance ,
With a wish that all her problems should be over ,
And along with his brother, that God who can destroy problems,
Appeared with is bow and arrow, dressed in yellow silk,
With Sri Vathsa on his chest , With a pleasantly smiling face,
With eyes that resembled the leaves of a lotus plant,
With a glittering body of the colour of blue sapphire ,
With feet that is worshipped by all vasus and devas,
With a shine which lighted all the ten directions,
That God who loved his devotees stood in front of Ahalya.
Thante Bharthavaya Gowthama thapo dhanan,

She now remembered the words that were told earlier,
To her by her husband who is the great sage Gowthama,
This definitely is Lord Narayana , the lord of the universe,
Who has lotus like eyes, who is as pretty as a lotus flower,
And thinking like that in her mind , she stood up and with devotion,
Immediately worshipped him with materials for the worship,
And along with tears of joy flowing from both her eyes,
Due to her pains being over and saluted him on the floor ,
With the ebbing devotion in her mind ,
She stood up and again and again saluted him,
Along with a body with bristling hair due to real great joy
And with a choking voice that made her not clear ,
She saw that great worshipful god with no second ,
And was suddenly transported to the great sea of joy and prayed him.

Oh Lord of the universe , I have been blessed,
Due to my being able to see you , not only that , I will tell further,
By your grace I have been able to get little of the dust,
Which are attached to your lotus like feet,
Which is very difficult to get even by Brahma and Shiva,
And this would not have been possible ,
However much penance that I did all my life,
And oh Lord of the universe , this is because of your play,
And today you appear to me as man and make me attracted by your greatness.
Ananda mayanayor athi mayikan poornan,

And purifies Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma and others,
Due to your great power, and I too was able to ,
Get the touch of your feet just now.

Oh God who does not have beginning or end,
Oh God who is forever, who does not change , from now I would sing about you daily,
And I would not pray anybody else with devotion

Daily and always are singing the story of Rama,
Which removes all ills and which is the essence ,
For removing passion and other feelings and getting joy,
And I am also daily praying that God Rama.

Of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva , assuming different forms ,
Though he is one who is bereft of any properties
And the one who is being studied by Vedantha.

You yourself completely fill up all places ,
Which are inside and outside daily.

The lord of Universe who cures sorrow of birth and death,
The Rama who has the shine of ten million suns,
The one who holds tightly the bow and arrow in his lotus like hand,
The personification of mercy , one who shines like a water rich cloud,
One who wears divine silk of golden colour, The consort of Lakshmi,
One who has shining cheeks as well as golden ear studs,
One who has pretty shifting eyes which are similar to lotus petals,
I pray This Rama who has Lord Brahma as his devotee.

Ahalya, the daughter of Lord Brahma with folded hands,
Prayed , Lord Rama and greatest among men ,
Who was god and was standing before her
And later with the permission of the God of the earth,
Went purified and after reaching Gowthama ,
Who was her husband , lived with no sorrow from then on.

That man who chants this prayer with devotion,
Would become pure as all his sins would be destroyed,
And he would attain the divine joy of Brahmam, not only that,
Without any doubt the men will get pleasures of earth.
If this is chanted with devotion keeping the lord in the mind,
He would achieve all that he wants.
If it is chanted by one wanting a son, he will get good sons,
And if it is chanted by one wanting money , he will get lot of money,
Even He who lies down on the bed of guru, He who steals gold,
He who drinks alcohol, He who kills Brahmins , he who troubles parents,
And even such man who is very base , if he daily,
Keeps his mind on Lord Vishnu who loves his devotees and who is Narayana,
And meditating on Ramachandra and reads this with devotion,
And salutes god, even he would get salvation,
If he is man of good behavior , is there a need to tell,
That without any doubt that he would get salvation immediately.
