2.6 Lakshmanopadesam

(Teaching to Lakshmana)

“Vathsa, Somumithre, Kumara, Nee kelkaanam,

Mathsaradhyam   vedinjennude  vakkugal,

Ninnude  thathwam  arinjirikknnithu,

Munname  jnanodaa , ninnullil yeppozhum,

Yenne kurichulla  vathsalya pooravum,

Ninnolamilla  matharkkum  yennullathum,

Ninnaal  asadhya mayilloru  karmavum,

Nirnayamengilum  onnithu kelkku nee,

Drusyamayoru  raja  dehaadhiyum,

Viswavum   nissesha  dhanya dhanadhiyum,

Sathyamennakile  thal prayasam  thava ,

Yuktha , mathallykil yendhatinaal  phalam?

Bogangalellam  Kshana  prabha chanchalam,

Vegena   nashtamai  ayussum orkka  nee.”

Oh  son, Oh son of Sumithra , Oh lad,

Please hear my words leaving out competitive spirit,

I have  understood  your principles,

And also your love towards  me,

And also that no one has  love  to me as much as you have ,

And also  it is definite that no   job is impossible for you,

But please  hear  this one  from me,

Only if  the  visible things like kingship , body,

World  , incomparable wealth  and land  are  the truth,

Then only    your effort  will be proper ,

And suppose  it is not , what  will result?

All the pleasures  are  as temporary as  the lightning,

And they vanish quickly like our life, please  remrmber this.”

“Vahni santhaptha  loha sthambhu bindhunaa,

SAnnibham  marthya janmam Kshana   banguram,

Chaksha  Sravana  galasthamaam  durdharam,

Bhakshanathinnu  apekshikunnathu pole ,

Kala heenaa parigrasthamaam  lokavum,

AAlola  chethsaa  bhogangal thedunnu,

Puthra  mithrartha kalathradhi samgamam,

Yethrayum  alpa kala  sthitham orkka nee ,

Panthar  peruvazhiyambalam  thannile,

Thantharai  kooti  viyogam varumpole ,

Nadhyamozhugunna  kashtangal poleyum,

Yethrayum  chanchalam alaya sangamam,

Lakshmiyum  asthira yallo , manushyarkku,

Nilkkumo  youvanavum   punaradruvam.”

The human life is  like a drop of water ,

Fallen on a  metal piece made red hot by fire,

And some thing which vanishes  in a second,

Like  the frog which is in the throat of a snake,

Seeking for food , the beings  caught  in the grips of time,

 With a    melting mind , seeks   for pleasures.

Understand that  the meeting that  we have with,

Son, friends, wife  and others lasts only for a little time,

Like the wayfarers in a rest house of the high way,

Are  getting upset when they meet and part ,

And like the  wooden pieces  floating in the river

The meeting of the people in the world is purely temporary,

And also wealth also is not at all stable for men,

And would  the state of youth  be with us permanently.”

“Swapna samanam  kalathra  sukham  nrunaam,

Alpaayussum  niroopikka , Lakshmanaa,

Ragadhi  sangulamayulla  samsaram,

Aake  niroopikkil , swapna thulyam sakhe,

Oorkka  gandarwa  nagara samam athil,

Moorkhanmaar  nithyam anuvarthichidunnu.

Aadithya devan udhichithu vegena,

Yadapathiyil  maranjithu sathwaram,

Nidhrayum  vannithu udaya  shailopari,

Vidrutham  vannithu pinneyum bhaskaran,

Itham  mathi bramam ulloru   janthukkal,

Chithe  vicharippathilla  kalantharam,

Aayussu   pokunnathethum  ariveela,

Maya samudarthil  mungi kidakkayaal.”

The pleasure out of a wife  is like a dream,

And  short life   also is similar , Oh Lakshmana,

The  life between birth and death  which,

Is intermixed with pleasures , if properly ,

Studied  is also like  a dream, my friend,

And remember it is like  a city of Gandarwas ,

Which cannot be seen , and the foolish people,

Observe that  the  Sun god comes out  speedily,

Goes speedily  in to the sea , followed by sleep,

 And again the   sun god comes  out  fast.

People who have  this type of imagionation in their brain,

Never think about anything over  time,

And they do not know when the soul goes away ,

And are lying drowned in the sea of illusion .

Vardhakhyamodum  jara narayum poondu,

Cheertha mohena  marikkunnithu chilar ,

Nethrendriyam kondu  kandirikke puna-,

Morthu  ariyunnela  maya than Vaibhavam,

Ippolithu pakal , pilpadu rathriyum,

Pilppadu pinne  pakal undai  varum,

Iprakaram  niroopichu moodathmakkal,

Chilpurushan  gathiyethum ariyathe ,

Kala swaroopanam easwaran  thannude ,

Leela viseshangal  onnum oraykayaal,

AAma kumbhambhu  samanamai  ayussudan,

Pomathethum   darikkunnathil larume.

With old age, with white hair  and wear and tare,

Some people die with  enlarged   desires,

Though people see   using the eye,

They are  not able to  know the greatness of illusion,

The foolish people   think that  now it is a day,

After some time it will be night  , which would be followed by day,

Not knowing   the acts  of God, and without ,

Remembering   all the sports done by ,

The God   who is but the form of time,

Live a life like water  in an unbaked  pot,

 And people are never  are able to understand   the goings of God.

“Rogangalaaya shatrukkalum vannu ,

Deham nasippikkum yevanum  nirnayam,

Vyagriye ppole  jarayum aduthavan,

Aakramcheedum sareerathe nirnayam,

Mruuthyuvaum  koodoru neram piriyathe,

Chidravam  parthu  parthu ullil irikkunnu,

Deham nimitham  maham  budhi kaikondu,

Moham kalarnnu janthukkal niroopikkum,

Brahmanoham   narendroham , aadyoham ,

Yennamedritham  kalaneedum dasanthare ,

Janthukkal bhakshichu kaashtichu  pokilaam,

Venthu  veeneerai chamanju poyeedalaam,

Manninnuu keezhai  krumigalai pokilaam,

Nannalla deham  nimitham maha  mohgam.”

“It is certain that the enemies called  diseases,

Would come   and destroy  the body,

And like the tigress  wear and tare will come near,

And    definitely attack the body,

And the death  is always within us,

Looking for    a proper   time  to attack,

The beings   due to their body , mix the  pride,

Add desires  to it and live ,

And chant  that , “I am Brahmin”, I am the king”,

“I am a noble man”, all their life ,

And during that time they eat , go poop,

Or even burn in to white ash and disappear ,

Or can even become  worms under the mud ,

And so it is not good to have desire because of the body.”

Thwang mamsa  Raktha asthi  vin moothra rethasaam,

SAmmelanam   Pancha bhoothaka nirmitham,

Maya mayamai  parinaamiyai oru,

Kayam   vikariyai  ullonitha druvam.

The body is but a mixture of skin , flesh , blood,

Bones , poop , urine  and  semen and is,

Made  of the five elements   and it would ,

Be pervaded  by illusion  and that body ,

Is subject to change , it is certain.

DEhabhimaanam  nimitham  undaya ,

Mohena lokam  dahippapathinnu nee,

Manasa tharil  niroopichathum thava ,

Jnanam illaika  yennarika  , nee Lakshmana.

Due to the desire again due to attachment ,

To this body , you are thinking of burning the world,

And that thought of yours in the mind,

Shows that  you do not have  wisdom, Lakshmana.

Doshangal okkave  deha abhimaaninaam,

Roshena  vannu  bhavikkunnithorkka nee ,

Dehoham yennulla  budhi manushyarkku,

Moha  mathaavaam  avidhya yakunnathum,

Deha malla orkkil , jnan ayathu athmavennu,

Mohaika   hanthriyayullathu  vidhya kel,

Samsara  karinayayathu avidhyayum,

Samsara nasiniyayathu  vidhyayum.

All the defects are with those who love their body,

And come to them due  to their anger , you please remember,

The   feeling  of a man that  “I am the body”,

Is due to ignorance  which is the mother of desire.

And once you think that “I am not the  body,

But am the soul” ,that thought  is the killer of desires,

 And is the real knowledge  and please know,

That ignorance is the one that makes the life of birth and death,

 And knowledge  is that  which completely destroys this thought.

“AAkayaal  moksharthiyaaklil  Vidhyabhyasam,

Yekantha chethasaa cheyga  vendunnathum,

Thathra  kama krodha lobha mohaadhikal,

Sathrukkal  akunna thennum arige  nee,

Mukthikku vignam  varuthvan yethrayum,

Sakthiyullo nnathil  krodham arikedaa,

Matha pithru  brathru  mithra sakhikale ,

Krodham nimitham  hanikkunnathu pumaan.”

So if you are , one  thirsting for salvation,

You should sit alone  and develop that  deep wisdom,

And then passion  , anger , avarice as well as desire,

 Would all become  your enemies, please  understand,

And also please know , that  anger is the emotion,

That   puts  a stop for the aim of getting salvation,

And that  gentleman  completely  destroys,

Mother, father , brother  and friends .”

“Krodam moolam  manasthapam undai varum,

Krodham moolam nrunaam samsara bandhanam,

Korodhamallo  nija dharma kshayakaram,

Krodham  parithyajikkenam  budha janam,

Krodhamallo  yamanayathu nirnayam,

Vaitharanyakhya  yakunnathu thrushnayum.”

Due to anger   arise misunderstandings,

Due to anger  man gets tied up by  domestic life ,

 And Is not anger the real destroyer of Dharma,

And so the wise man should give up anger,

And is not anger   definitely the god of death,

 And  strong desire   is the river Vaitharani,(Indian equivalent of Styx)

That  encircles  the   city of death.

Santhoshamakunnathu nandanam vanam,

Santhatham   santhiye Kama Surabhi kel,

Chithichu   santhiye thanne bhajikka nee,

Santhapamennal oru  jathiyum varaa,

Sarvaika karanam   sarva jagan mayam,

Sarvaika  sakshinam   sarvajna meeswaram,

Sarvadhaa chethsi  bhavichu kolga nee.

Happiness  is the garden of the devas,

And always hear that peace is the  wish giving cow,

Think about this and pray for   only peace,

And then always  you  will never  have sorrow,

Hear that the soul  lies above  the body, sense organs,

The movement   , intellect  and ego,

Please  always think that   the  soul in you ,

As  filled up with the pure , dazzling  self  filled with joy,

Which is  the meaning of all philosophies ,

Which does  not have  any actions, which is for ever ,

Which can be known in the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi,

As  witness of everything  and    god of everything always.

SAragnanaya nee kel Sukha dukhadam,

Prabdam yellam  anubhavacheedenam,

Nir mayama acharicheedukenne varu,

Karmangal  sangangal onnilum koodathe,

Karmangalellam   vidhicha vannam para,

Brahmani  nithya  samarpichu cheyyanam.

You who know   the essence  of everything please  hear,

Pleasure , pain , difficult duties have to be  undergone,

You have to definitely  carry out with utmost sincerity,

All the duties dictated  by  organs as well  as Karma,

Without  attaching  yourselves    to the results of Karma,

 And    as fated   by Karma  ,dedicating it to the supreme god.

Nirmalamayulloru   athmavu thannodu,

Manandamul kondu  maya vimohangal ,

Manasathingal  ninnasu kalaga nee,

Manamallo paramapadamaspadam.

Since  none of the karmas  can attach ,

Themselves to the pure soul ,

After  understanding all that  I told you,

Always  meditate  on that  form of wisdom,

Giving away egoistic feelings , and daily,

Get drowned in divine joy , remove  ,

From the mind the desires created by illusion,

For   egoism  is the reason of all dangers.

Soumithri thannodu eevannam arul cheythu,

After  telling like this   to Lakshmana,

With a happy face  he told his mother,

“Please  hear mother , Let not my words ,

Which are clear  cause sorrow to you,

Unlike the people   who do not know the soul,

You know that  sufferings cannot be caused to it,

All the people   who live in this world  cannot ,

Always live together and since  you know everything,

Please  understand that  I would speedily,

Come back after living in the forest for fourteen years,

And so please  throw away  all the sorrow ,

And bless  me   with  a happy heart.

“If there is one desire in the mind of father ,

Mother also should have the same desire,

It is definite that The virtue  of a married women,

Is the  repetition of  all the duties of  her husband,

If my mother  permits me with happiness,

I do not have   any  sorrow whatsoever 

And the life  in the  forest  would be pleasurable ,

Do not have  any sorrow  in your mind.”

Saying this   he saluted   her,

Again and again at the feet of his mother,

With love  and she took him on his lap .

Hugged him   and  bathed him with her tears,

And then she immediately told words   of blessing,

And then Kausalya begged  the gods.

“Srushti karthave, Virincha, Padmasana,

“Oh creator, Oh Brahma , Oh God who sits on a lotus,

Oh  healthy ocean of mercy , Oh greatest Purusha , Oh Hari,

Oh winner over death , Oh great God , Oh consort of Gauri,

Oh protectors of different directions who have Indra in  front,

Oh Durga, Oh Goddess , Oh destroyer of sorrow,

Oh cause of creation, upkeep and dissolution,

Whenever  my son takes to walking,

And whenever he sleeps forgetting everything,

Please  protect  him with great joy.”

Itham arthichu than puthranaam  Ramane,

When   her son Rama  requested like this,

She hugged him tightly with falling tears  and ,

She permitted   to go to the   forest saying,

“Live in the forest  for  fourteen years and come back,”

And immediately   Lakshmana  with a broken voice,

Told Rama  to his satisfaction,

“Whatever doubt that  was remaining in my mind,

Has  vanished   after  hearing your words.

For the sake of doing service  to your feet,

I also want to accompany you  and,

You have to give permission to that with joy,

Oh consort of Sita , Oh Ramachandra , Oh treasure of mercy,

And suppose  you   do not permit , I will take away my life,

Oh  Lord of Raghus , Oh lord with a moon like face.”

And then the lotus eyed  one  told him with love,

“if so  you can    also come with me.”

Then to take leave   from Sita ,

He entered Sita’s house  happily.

Seeing her husband who has come,

She got up  speedily with   a  smile,

And with water   in a golden pot,

Washed his   holy feet with love,

And with  shyness  and a soft smile,

That  pretty one  slowly and slowly  told.

“Aarum akambadi koodathe  Sri pada,

Oh treasure of mercy, how come  you have come,

By walk without anybody accompanying you?

Oh husband where  is the valorous elephant ,

The ornamental umbrellas , decorative fans ,

 The pair of chowries , the musical accompaniment,

 And   the  made up look with gold and gem ornaments?

How come you have  left the  minor kings,

And have come with a very worried look, alas?

Itham  Videhathmaja vachanam  kettu,

Hearing   the   words  of the daughter of Videha,

The son of the lord of earth   told like this,

“He gave me   the kingdom of Dandakaranya,

For  earning    good  deeds, please know,

I am going immediately to look after  that,

And you live  here  without sorrow in the mind.

Oh wife  you live here  happily   ,

Looking after  my mother  Kausalya.”

Hearing  the words of her husband that Janaki,

Told like this  to the king  Rama,

“Your father is in a state  that he,

Cannot  even part with you at night,

And in such a circumstance  , why ,

Did this thought of giving  a forest kingdom,

 To you Come today  to his mind, what is the cause?

Was it not the king himself  with joy,

 Made  arrangements for the coronation yesterday,

Tell me  speedily whether  it is true,  my husband,

Please  tell me in detail   all that has happened?”

Yennathu kettarul   cheythu Raghuvaran,

Vinnavar nattil  surasura   yudhathinnu,

Anyuna vikramam   kai kondu poya naal.”

Hearing this   Sri Rama told her,

“Oh gem in the garland  of great ladies, hear,

The king  had earlier  promised to give,

Two boons to my mother  who is the daughter of Kekaya,

In the land of devas during a battle  between asuras and devas,

 For  showing great valour  and helping  him.”

“Onnu Bharathane  vazhikkayennathum,

One is to make  Bharatha as the king,

And the other   is to send me to forest,

Deciding in his mind that   he would  ,

Be going against his oath and being afraid of it,

Father  has already given the boon to mother ,

And so I  am going   today to the Dandakaranya,

And live   there   for fourteen years ,

Avoiding any rule and I   will come back then.

You please  do not  tell no to it,

And leaving love life  , live with my mother “

 After  hearing this   as told by Sri Rama,

That lady with a face of the full moon told,

“I would be the first to walk to the forest,

And you  can only come behind me ,

Your going away leaving me is not proper ,

And you have  to understand  that.”

Kakulsthanum   priyavadiniyakiya,

That  Sri Rama  told her who speaks sweet things,

And walks like the elephant  king ,

“How can I take you there ,

For it is full of densely grown trees,

Wild lions , tigers ,  pigs , bison ,

Elephants, pythons  wolf and other animals,

The Rakshasas who eat  human beings,

And  also very many  bad  wild animals,

Which are innumerable  and seeing all of them,

We would become perplexed   and filled with fear,

And  for ladies there is a special sense of fear , please understand.”

“Moola phalngal  katwamla kashayangal,

Bale , bhujipathinnakunnathum thathra

Nirmala vyanjanapu anna panadhi,

Sanmadhu ksheerangal  illoru neravum.”

“Oh lady  , there for food only  roots ,

And fruits which are sour and bitter  are  available,

Clean and tasty foods , sweet pancakes, rice , drinks,

Good quality honey , drinks of milk are not there at any time,”

“Nimnonnatha    guha gahwara    sarkaraa ,

Ups and down caves  , holes in the land , harsh stony path,

Would be all over  that bad way , which is full of thorns,

 Except   for  that type  of  harsh path,

You would not be able   to see  any body there  known to you,

Apart from that  the climate would  be cold winds, hot weather,

And the  suffering due to these  are extreme .

We have necessarily walk with our legs ,

And when we see   the very bad  Rakshasas,

No body would   be able    to tolerate  it., underatand?

So obey my words   and live here ,

Looking after  my mother  in a proper fashion,

And for  coming back  it would take  ,

Fourteen years, there is no doubt about this.”

Sri Rama vakku kettoru  Vaidehiyum,

Aarooda thapena   pinneyum chollinaal,

After  hearing the    words   of Rama ,

With increasing sorrow again told,

“Lord , I am  dharmic wife  of virtue,

And I do not have any  other support,

Oh treasure of mercy , there would not be any problem,

Please do not end my penance of serving your feet ,

When I am living in your presence,

Who can ever cause harm to me?”

“Eating some roots   and food with water ,

As The remains of food eaten by husband ,

Is equivalent   to nectar  to me,

 When I am walking   with my husband,

 Even very sharp pointed stone and thorns,

Is equivalent to walking on spread  flowers to me,

Oh Lord equivalent to god of love , do not  forsake me,

By me  you will  not have  any problem,

And Oh Husband , I do not have any fear.”

Once a Brahmin expert in astrology ,

After determination  has told me,

“ You would be  living in the forest,

With your husband  and there is no sorrow,

Also I will tell you  a truth  that I have,

Heard earlier  and I would tell you that now,

Though several poets have  written the story of Rama,

Along with joy, I have not heard one ,

In which   Rama has gone to live  ,

In the forest without Janaki?

Undo purushan prakrathiye verittu?

Randum onnathre  vicharichu kankilo?

Pani Grahana manthrarthavum orkkanam,

Pranavasana kalathum  piriyumo?

Yennikke  punar yenneyum upekshichu,

Thanne vanathinai kondu  yezhnelugil,

Yennumen  prana parithyagavum  cheyvan,

Innu thanne  ninthiruvadi thannane.”

Is there any existence of Prakrthi from Purusha?

If we properly think are not both  the same?

We have to remember the  chant during marriage,

That  these  two will not part  till time of death,

When it is like that , if you leave me  and go,

To the  forest    alone and without me,

I would take  my life away today itself.

Yenningane  devi chonnathu  kettoru,

Mannavan mandasmitham   poondarul cheythu,

“Yengilo Vallabhe , poriga vaigathe,

Sangadaminnithu cholliyundakendaa ,

Dhanam arundathikkai kondu cheyga nee ,

Janaki , Haradhi bhooshanam okkave.”

 After  Hearing   what  that goddess told,

The king  along with a   slow smile told,

“So  my wife  , come along with me soon,

A sorrow need not come due to  my telling  you something,

Oh Janaki  , please  give away all the necklaces,

And other ornaments   To Arundathi , (wife of Vasishta)”

Itham arul cheythu  Lakshmanan thannodu,

 Pruthwi  surothamanmaare   varuthuga,

 Yennu athyadharam arul   cheytha neram, Dwija,

Ndothamanmaare  varuthi kumaranum.

 Then he  told like this to Lakshmana,

Please make   the noble Brahmins to come ,

And as soon as  he  told this to him,

He got  several great Brahmins to come there.

Vasthrabharangal pasukkal,

Martha avadhiyillatholam aadharal,

Sadvruthanmaar, kula seela  gunangalal ,

Uthamanmaarai kudumbikalagiya ,

Veda vijanikalaam  dwijendranmaarkku ,

Sadaram  dhangal cheythu bahu vidham.

Clothes ornaments  cows,

And unlimited money  with great respect ,

Was  given to great Brahmins  who had mastered Vedas,

Who were of good character, who were great,

Because of  very good character   and who were  family people.

Mathavu thannude  sevakanmaaraya,

 Bhoodeva   sathamanmaarkkum   koduthithu,

Cheythithu thapasanmaarum  dwijanmaarum,

Peythu peytheedintha  aasru jalangalum,

Janaki deviyum anpodu  arundathikku,

 Anandamulkkondu  danangal nalginaal.

He also gave  gifts to  the  very great Brahmins,,

Who were  the assistants of his mother .

Also to all those who live in his private quarters,

And to his servants he gave  gifts by various kinds .

Due to his giving gifts to  the sages  and Brahmins ,

They recited words  of blessings to him with joy ,

Shedding and shedding   great  amount of tears.

Janaki  along with love  gave  gifts,

To Arundathi  who took it with happiness.

Lakshmana veeran  Sumithrayam  ammaye,

Thalkshane  Kousalya kayyil samarpichu,

Vandhicha neram , Sumithrayum puthrane,

Then the valorous Lakshmana  , entrusted ,

His mother Sumithra to Kausalya,

And saluted her  and then Sumithra ,

Hugged her son  and   also blessed him well,

And also told the following advice to him,

“You have to always   serve  your elder brother,

And always walk by  his side  without parting from him,

Always daily think that   Rama  is Dasaratha  in your mind,

Also you have to think me as the daughter  of Janaka,

 And think Ayodhya  as the deep forest,

And once  You firmly believe  these  without illusion,

 You would be happy there and cme back happily.”

Pokunna nerathu  poura janangale ,

Lakshamana   completely took the advice ,

And saluted his mother with respect ,

And then along with his bow and arrows ,

Stood near Rama   and saluted him.

Immediately   Rama along with Sita,

And Lakshmana  , went  to salute,

His father  and at that  time,

With happiness  he  saw  the citizens of Ayodhya.

The pretty lad, the stealer of the mind,

One has pretty black body , Raghava,

One who can be compared to God of love ,

One who  is lovely  and handsome,

The  honourable Rama  , the ever pretty Rama,

For all the world , the Rama of the soul,

The one with eyes  like lotus ,

One who is served by Lord Shiva ,

One who pervades in different worlds,

When he was  walking towards his father’s home,

The citizens  who were sad  seeing,

That   he was walking  to the palace,

Told each other  with great sorrow.

Alas , alas . alas , see , see , ho,

Oh god why has   this  come to this alas,

Along with brother    and his loving wife ,

Without any help ,  he is walking,

With  a path strewn  with stones and thorns,

And which  is bad  path and very difficult  to walk,

With their  pretty , greatly soft  and slippery feet,

Which appears  to be  softer  like  a red lotus,

And the mind of the king  which asked them,

To daily walk in the forest  is very cruel.

Till yesterday   no one   had the love for son,

As much   as king  Dasaratha  had,

What is the reason for this thought today.

Hearing this  immediately another  one told,

“It seems he had given two  boons  to Kaikeyi,

And because  of that  Rama is going to forest today ,

And  Bharatha  would  live as a king,

He could   go to the forest along with him,

Because he cannot tolerate  parting with him.”

Hearing these   type of talks  between ,

The Brahmins  of the city , Vamadeva,

Told to the citizens  the following.

2.7 Rama sita thathwam

(The principle of Rama  and Sita)

“Ramane chinthichu dukhiyayakaarume,

Komala gathriyaam  Janaki moolavum,

Thathwamayullathu  chollunnathundu jnan,

Chitham thelinju  kettiduvin yevarum.

Ramanakunnathu Sakshal  Mahavishnu,

Tharasaksha  namadhi Narayanan,

Lakshmananathu Ananthan,Janakajaa,

Lakshmi Bhagawathi lokamayaa paraa”

None of you should be sad by thinking of Rama,

And also Due to Janaki who  has a pretty form.

I am now telling you  the principle,

Please hear  with great attention,

Rama is the  real Maha Vishnu,

Who is the primeval  Narayana with lotus eyes,

Lakshmana  is Anantha   and the daughter of Janaka,

Is  the   goddess Lakshmi  who is the illusion of this world.

“Maya gunangale than avalambichu ,

Kaya bhedham dariokkunnathu athma paran,

Rajasamaya    gunathodu koodave,

Rajeeva sambhavanai  prapancha dwayam,

Vyakthamai srushtichu  Sathwa pradhanamai,

Bhaktha parayanan  Vishnu roopam poondu ,

Nithyavum  rakshichu kollannatheaswaran,

Adhyanajan  paramathmavu sadaram.”

Due to the different properties of Maya*(illusion),

The  god assumes   several different forms,

Lord Brahma who was  born out of the lotus ,

Has  the Rajasa property    and created ,

The two worlds  in   a very clear  way,

Assuming  the form of Vishnu ,

Which has predominantly  Sathwa form,

The god , who is divine and is never born,

Always keeps on protecting this world.

              *God does not have any properties

               But illusions  makes us see them.

Rudra veshathil  thamo guna  yukthanai,

Adrija vallabhan  samharikkunnathum,

Vaivasthan manu  bhakthi prasannanai,

Devan makaravatharam anushtichu ,

Vedangalellam  Hayagreevane konnu,

Vedavinaaki  koduthathee  Raghavan.

In the form of Rudra  , with  the thamas property,

That  consort of daughter of mountain destroys.

Becoming pleased with  the devotion of Vaivaswatha  Manu,

 That God  took the incarnation of fish.,

And   he killed  Hayagreeva , and returned ,

Back all  the Vedas  and he is this Rama.

Padho nidhi madane  pandu mandaram,

Pathala okam  pravesichathu neram,

Dushtanayoru  Hiranyakshane konnu,

Gyushtiyai  thetha mel  kshoniy pongichu,

Karana   varidhi thannil  kalichathum,

Karana  purushanakumee  Raghavan.

When the ocean of milk was  being churned,

And when the Mandra mountain entered the nether world,

The one  who took  the form of   a severe form of a tortoise ,

And held  the king of the mountains  on his back , is this Rama,

The one who killed  the  bad  Hiranyaksha,

Taking the form of a boar  and lifted the earth,

 And  played    in the  causal ocean,

Is this Rama who is   this causal man.

Nirhradhamodu  Narasimha roopamai,

 Kroorangalaya  nakharangale kondu,

Ghoranayoru  Hiranakasipu than,

Vaksha  pradesam  prapatanam cheythathum,

Raksha chathuranaam  Lakshmivaranivan.

He who took  the form of   the roaring Narasimha,

For looking after his devotee Prahalada ,

And tore the   chest  of the  horrible Hiranyakasipu,

 By using   his cruel nails  is ,

This consort of Lakshmi  who is an expert in saving.

Sathwaram vangi  maruthwanu  nalgiya ,

Bhaktha priyanaam   trivikaramanum ivan.

When Atithi with great devotion  requested him,

And also worshipped him for the birth of a son,

Along with great mercy , he  who was  born  as ,

Her son and younger  brother  of Indra ,

And went to  his great devotee Mahabali ,

Requested  for three feet of earth,

And measured  the three worlds  in three feet,

And  got  the earth from Mahabali and  gave it  back to Indra ,

As  the Trivikrama  who likes his devotees  is also Rama.

Dathri sura  dweshikalai janichoru,

Dathri pathi kula  nasam  varuthuvaan,

For killing  exterminating  of kings,

Who were born as  hater of Brahmins,

The one who was   born as  Parasurama ,

Is this Rama who is the blessing of this world.

He  has been born as  the son of Dasaratha ,

 And the husband of the  daughter of earth in this world,

For   saving Dharma  by  killing  all the Rakshasas,

And to lighten the burden of this   earth.

He is primeval , not born , divine soul , god of gods,

The divine one who is an expert in Vedas  though not a Brahmin,

Narayana, the greatest  Purusha  , one who does not change,

The causal man ,  Rama, the stealer of the mind,

And  the reason for his  is going today  to the forest,

For killing Ravana   for the sake  of devas,

Is not because  of  Mandhara  nor Kaikeyi  and

None of you get startled, the reason is not even Dasaratha.

The  God  Vishnu  who pervades the earth , the Madhava,

The Vishnu  along with  the daughter of Janaka  ,

The great goddess of illusion  who

Is the one who creates , upkeeps   and destroys,

 Is starting  now   with  excess  of joy.

Yesterday   Narada  came  here  and ,

 Rama told   him  “for killing  of,

The Rakshasas , I will definitely  ,

Start    to the forest  tomorrow”

And from this , please  understand,

That  he is   not sad at going to forest,

And so please do not think of Rama  and be sad,

All of you , please  chant “Rama”, “Rama”,

And  to all those  men who chant “Rama”, “Rama” daily,

There would be no fear  of death  for them and they will get salvation,

And  they  will all  definitely get  these.

He is one who does  not have  sorrow or pleasure,

He does not decay, he is one without  characters,

, He is the great one of Raghu clan ,

The one who does  not have less  or more ,

He is pure , full of joy , endless and consistent.

How can sorrow   ever come ,

To one   who has a form of God like him,

He was born in this earth  due to the prayer ,

Of his devotees and  he is the lover  of his devotees,

For fulfilling   the desire  of Dasaratha ,

And for  killing  Ravana , and for,

Looking after  the three worlds ,

He has   taken this  incarnation.

Oh simple people , that man has become God.

After telling  about Rama  like this,

Vamadeva retired from there and,

Afterwards those who drank the nectar  of Vamadeva,

Those citizens knew  that Rama is  only Narayana,

And  al of them were drowned in the ocean of divine joy.

Those who meditate  on this secret of Rama  and Sita,

Again and again  with  utmost joy,

Will get firm devotion towards  God Rama,

And  sorrows of all of them would be destroyed.

I told the   divine  meaning of Rama ,

Which is secret , which should be hidden from others,

 And one  that  would destroy all your sins ,

Thinking that  all lovers of Rama  are  great,

The pain  in the minds of the citizens was destroyed,

And     that great sage also went back with joy.
