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,

Nishtooramayoru   koormakruthi poondu,

Prushte Girindram  darichathee  Raghavan.

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,

Prahladhane  paripalichu kolluvaan,

 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.

Puthralabhartham athithiyum bhakthi poondu,

Abhyarthichu   sadaramarchikka  karanam,

Yethrayum  karunyamodu aval  thannude ,

Abhyarthichiu moonadiyakki jagathrayam,

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,

Dathriyil  Bhargavanai pirannathum,

Dathree varanaya  Raghavanam ivan.

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.

Vishnu Bhagawan   Jaganmayan madhavan,

Vishnu Maha maya devi janakaja a,

Srushti  sthithi laya  karini thannodum,

Pushta pramodham  purapettathinnippol.

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.

Innale  Naradan  vannu chonnanavan,

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.

2.8 Vana yathra

Journey to the forest.

Raghavan Thatha   geham  pravesichudan,

Vyakula heenam  vanangi arul cheythu,

Kaikeyiyayakiya  Mathavu thannodu,

“Sokam kalanjalum  amme , manasi they,

Soumithriyum   Janakathmajayum  jnanum,

Soumukyamarnnu  povaanai purapettu,

Khedam akale  kalanjini  jnangale ,

Thathan aajnapikka  vendathu vaikathe,”

Then Rama entered the  house of his father ,

And without  sorrow  saluted  and told,

Kaikeyi , who was  his mother,

“Please leave out sorrow  from your mind,

Me, Lalkshmana   and the daughter of Janaka,

Have started   from here  with pleasure,

Please  leave out the sorrow far away,

And let my father  order me  what should be done,”

Ishta vakhyam kettu  Kaikeyi sadaram,

Pettennu yezhunethirunnu sambramam,

Sri Ramanum , Maithilikkum anujannum,

Cheerangal  vere vere nalkinaal ammayum,

Dhanya vasthukkal  upekshichu Raghavan,

Vanya cheerangal  parigrahicheedinaan.

Hearing those  pleasant words Kaikeyi immediately,

Got up  along with nervousness  and ,

She gave cloth made of bark individually to,

Rama ,  Sita   as well as Lakshmana ,

And Rama    forsaking the  rich cloths ,

Dressed himself in those wooden bark.

Pushkara lochanan anujnayaa valkalam,

Lakshmanan   thanum uduthan athu neram,

Lakshmi bhagawathiyaya Janaki,

Valkalam kaiyil  pidichu kondu aakullal,

Mangala  devatha vallabhan   Raghavan,

Ingithajan  thadha vaangi  parushamaam,

Valkkalam  divyambaropari  veshtichu,

Salkkaramanam  kalarnnu  ninnedinaan.

With the permission of Lord Rama,

Lakshmana   also  wore  that and at that time,

Sita  who was   the  Goddess Lakshmi,

Holding the bark cloth in her hand, with sorrow,

And For finding out the  intention of Rama ,

Secretly saw the  lotus like  face of Rama ,

With a thought  as to how to wear it tightly ,

And Rama the husband of the goddess of auspiciousness,

With diplomacy took it from her , and  ,

Tied that hard bark over  her divine dresses,

And  stood there with great politeness.

Yennathu kandu  Rajadarangalum,

Anyamayulla  janangalum okkave ,

Vanna  dukhathal karayunnathu kettu,

Seeing this the wives of the king ,

And  all  the other people assembled there ,

Started  weeping due to sorrow  and hearing this,

The great sage  Vasishta  who was standing there ,

Berated  Kaikeyi  with great anger   and told her,

“Why you had this thought?, oh bad woman,

Oh Rakshasi , Oh lady with an unclean mind,

Oh lady who has a hard mind when seeing misery,

Oh base lady ,  Oh  characterless lady,

Was it not your boon that  Rama should go to the forest?

And what was  the reason for  the thought in your mind,

To give  the wooden bark cloth  to  Sita,

Janaki who was devoted and  a virtuous wife,

If she travels   along   with her husband,

She Would go  with ornaments  all over her body,

And wearing divine  cloths , for she is going,

To lighten the sorrow caused by forest to her husband,

And would live there providing happiness  to his mind,

And she would be with him and look after him,

With a clean and clear mind and live there.”

Itham vasishtokthi  kettu dasarathan,

Nathwaa  sumanthrarodumarul cheythu,

Raja yogyam rathamasu  varuthuga,

 Rajeeva nethra  prayaanaaya sathwaram.

Hearing what   sage   Vasishta  has told,

Dasaratha saluted the sage  and  told Sumanthra,

Immediately get here  a chariot suitable for kings,

For the sake  of travel of the lotus  eyed one.

Ithamukthwaaa Rama vakthrambujam  parthu,

“Putha, haa , Rama , Soumithre , Janakaje,

Rama, Rama , trilokadhi ramanga , ha,

Ha , mama prana samana , Manohara ,

Dukhichu  bhoomiyil veenu dasarathan,

Ul kambhazhinju  karayunnathu neram,

 THerum orumichu   nirthi sumanthrarum,

Sri Rama devan appol arul cheythu.

After saying like this and seeing the face of Rama,

Dasaratha cried, “Hey son , hey Rama,

Hey Lakshmana , Hey daughter  of  Janaka,

Hey Rama, Rama  , Hey Rama who attracts  the three worlds,

Hey son who is like my soul , Hey pretty one,

And with sorrow    he again fell down on the floor,

 And was crying   completely  loosing his grip on himself,

And at that  time  Sumanthra brought  the chariot ,

And at that  time  Sri Rama told

“Theril kreruga  Seethe  viravil nee,

Neram ini  kalanjeduga aruthethume,

Sundari vandhichu  theril karerinaal,

 Indiravallabhanakiya   Ramanum.

Manase  khedam kalanju  janakane ,

“Please  get in to the chariot  quickly Sita,

We should not waste any more time now”,

And that pretty ladsy saluted him and got in to the  chariot ,

Rama who is the husband of Lakshmi ,

After  leaving out the sorrow   in his mind ,

Saluted his father  on the floor, went round him,

And again bowed and saluted him  and got in to the chariot.

At that time Lakshmana loaded   the  ,

Arrows. Bows   and quivers  in the chariot,

And himself got in to it and Sumanthra with sorrow,

 Started   driving the chariot  and Dasaratha,

Shouted “Stop”, Stop” but  Lord Rama told,

Let it go, let it go   speedily ,

And the entire world became   still then.

Rajeeva lochanan dhoore maranjappol,

Rajavu  mohichu veenithu bhoothale,

Drushtikku amruthamayoru  thirumeni,

Kanaykil   yengane  jnangal porukkunnu,

Pranano   poyithallo   vidhi deivame.

When the lotus  eyed one disappeared  in the distance ,

The king fell down fainted   on the floor,

 The male , female  ,children and old people  of the town,

With heightened sorrow  went crying behind Rama,

“Oh Lord Rama,  oh treasure of mercy, do not go , do not go ,

How can we  tolerate  when we   are  not able to see,

Your body which is like nectar ,

Oh God  , what a fate , we  feel as if our  soul has left.

Thannude  mathru gehathilakkuvin,

Ramane verittu jeevichu jnan ini ,

BHoomiyil  vazhkennathillennu  nischayam.

Telling like   this and  wailing   all the people,

Without   delay started  walking behind the chariot,

And the king after  crying a lot ,

With sorrow    told his helpers ,

“Please carry me  and put me ,

In the house  of Rama’s mother ,

 After  parting  from Rama , I cannot ,

And  would not now  live in this earth.

Yennathu kettu  bruthya janangalum,

Khinnamai mevunna   Kausalya  thannodum.

Hearing these words ,  those of his servants ,

Carried the king    and  placed.

Him in the house  of Kausalya  and at that time,

 Again the king fell down fainted

And after  waking up  started  crying,

Even with   Kausalya  who was also sad.

Sri Ramanum  thamasaa nadhi thannude ,

Sri Ramane angu  kondu poi koodaikil,

Kanana vasam   namakkum yenne varum,

Manasathingal   urachu maruvinaar.

When the night  fell Sri Rama,

Went to the bank of river Thamasa and stayed there,

Drinking    only  some liquids   and along with Janaki,

Not taking   any food , he slept at the  root of a tree.

Lakshmana   armed  with bow   and arrows,

Guarded  them and  with sorrow,

Spent his time  talking of sad things with Sumanthra,

And the citizens  also came near them,

Thought  firmly   in their mind  that if,

They are  not able to take  Rama with them,

 They also would  live in the forest with them.

Poura janathin  paridevanam kandu,

Sri Rama devanum ullil  niroopichu,

“Sooruyan udhichalum ayaykkuga  illivar,

Thethennu  thekkottu  thanne  nada kondu..

Seeing the crying and sorrow  of   the citizens,

Sri Rama decided in his  mind ,

“When the sun rises , they would not allow us to go,

And  there would be problem for our  purpose,

And now they are  sleeping  tired  with sorrow,

And they do not have consciousness  and,

We shall   go from here before they  wake up ,

And so immediately  get the chariot  readied.”

As soon as Sumanthra  heard  the  words of Rama,

And when he immediately got the  chariot  ready,

Both the  Raghavas  and  the  daughter of Janaka,

Got in to the chariot  and  at  that time,

The citizens  did not know any thing ,

And Sumanthra drove  the  chariot ,

For little time towards  Ayodhya  and ,

Later  drove it  fast to the southern direction.

All the citizens who were sleeping round them,

At the time ,  woke up next day but ,

Did not see  Rama and cried with deep sorrow ,

And went back to Ayodhya  and ,

By always  thinking about Rama  with Sita,

In their mind again and again  daily,

Lived with a very pure mind   ,

All of them lived with their sons  and friends.

Raghava  the husband  of the auspicious goddess,

Reached  the shores of Ganges   and along ,

With Sita   took the auspicious  bath in the river,

And along with his brother  reached  a place ,

Not far from the town of Srungivera,

And happily  lived below a Iruvul* tree.

Guha  heard  the great  festival of coming,

Of Rama  with great   happiness and to  see and,

 Worship the feet  of God  Rama who is a youth like him

He came with a mature mind  and devotion speedily,

Along with ripened fruits  , honey and flowers,

And after placing them near   Rama with devotion,

He  saluted  Rama by falling on the floor.

Pettennu yeduthu yezhunelpichu  vakshasi,

Kandanjali poondu  guhanum ura cheythu.

Rama  immediately   took and made  him stand  and,

Hugged  him tightly  and embraced  him,

And with a soft smile  sweetly    and happily,

Enquired about his news and welfare,

And seeing the lotus eyed one,

With folded hands  Guha asked.

Dhanyanayen adiyen innu kevalam ,

Nirnayam  Naishada janmabvum pavanam,

Naishadamayulla  rajyam ithum oru,

Dhooshana heena madheenamallo thava,

Kinkaranam  adiyeneyum rajyavum,

Today  I have become greatly  blessed,

And definitely  the life of a tribal has become pure,

And this country which belongs to the tribes,

Is without any faults and please look after me ,

Who am  your slave  and this country ,

Without  any botheration whatsoever.

Along  with great happiness your honoured self,

Should  always  live  here and purify,

My private  quarters   with the  divine dust,

Of your lotus like feet and also,

Bless me  with great  sympathy.

Anydatham bujikkathum  illennu,

Manye vana vasa kalam kazhivolam.”

To Guha  who was there after this prayer ,

With  a happy smile  Sri Rama told,

“My friend, please  hear my words,

I  cannot have better pleasure than that ,

But I have  to spend  fourteen years,

In the forests  without taking ,

Food given by others till,

The period  of the forest life is over.”

“Rajyam mamaithal bhavan mathsakhiyallo,

This country is mine  and are you not my friend,
And you being honorable , please look after this country,

And  do not mix sorrow  with this arrangement,

And go and bring the milk of banyan tree,”

Immediately the milk of banyan tree was brought,

Along with Lakshmana using the mixture ,

Of ash  and the  milk from the banyan tree,

And made  a firm matted hair style,

And using the durba grass and leaves  brought by his brother,

And spread   with  respect and adoration,

He  slept  along with his wife Sita,

Who had  taken only   a liquid food,

With the same happiness   of olden times,

When he used to sleep  on a cot in his palace.

Lakshmanan villum ambum darichanthike,

Raksahichu ninnu  guhanodu koodave,

Lakshmi pathiyata  Raghava swamiyum,

Lakshmi bhagawathiyakiys Sitayum,

Vruksha moole  kidakkunnathu kandathi,

Dukham kalarnnu bhaspakulansi Guhan,

Lakshmananodu paranju thudanginaan,

“Pushkara  nethrane kandeelayo sakhe”

Then Lakshmana   carrying his bow and arrow,

Stood gurad for them along with Guha,

Seeing Rama  the husband of goddess Lakshmi,

And Sita  who was  the goddess Lakshmi herself,

Sleeping near  the roots  of a tree,

Guha with flowing tears  due to great sorrow,

Started  telling Lakshmana    as  follows,

“Friend, are you not seeing  the lotus  eyed one,”

“Parna thalpe  bhuvi  daru moole k idannu,

Arnojanethra yurangu marauyithu ,

Swarnathalpe  bhavanothame  salppore,

Punya purushan  janakathmajayodum,

Palli kuruppu kollum  munnamiha,

Pallava palyanga seemni  vananthare ,

Sri rama devasnnu  dukham undaguvaan,

Karana bhoothyai vannithu Kaikeyi,

Mandarachithan\masthaya  Kaikeyoi than,

Hantha Maha papam aachaichal allo?”

Alas  the lotus eyed one  had to sleep ,

On a bed of leaves   below a tree,

Instead of a golden cot  in a great house ,

In  a great  city , this blessed man,

Along with  the daughter of Janaka,

 Is sleeping  on a bed of leaves ,

In  a forest  and the reason,

For the sorrow  of God Rama,

Is Kaikeyi  due to the evil words of Mandara,

And has  not this Kaikeyi   done a very great sin.?”

Sruthwaa  guhokthikal ithama  hantha ,

Soumithriyum  sathwaram utharam chollinaan,

“Bhadramathe, Srunu, madvachanam  Rama-

Bhadra namam japeecheeduga  santhatham,.

 Kasya dukhasya  ko hethur jaga thraye,

Kasya shukhasya  vaa ko hi hethu ssakhe,

Poorva janmarjitha  karmamathre bhuvi,

Sarva lokarkkum  sukha dukha karanam.”

After  hearing the  words of Guha,

Lakshmana immediately answered him,

“Oh one  with balanced  thought ,
Hear my words  and chant the names ,

Of Rama always  without fail,

In these three words, who is the cause of whose sorrow?

 And oh friend, who is the cause of happiness of others?

The  reason for pain and pleasure in these  worlds,

 Is  the  karma   that  we have earned  in previous births!”

Dukha sukhangal  danam cheyvathinnu,

Mansatharil  vrudha abhimamena  kel,

Lokam  nija karma  suthra  badham, sakhe,

Bogangalum  nija karmanusarikal.

Definitely no body has  thought in his mind,

About giving away of sorrows and pleasures,

Always   the ignorant  people  tend to think,

That  so and so is the one who gave pleasure to me ,

Or so and so  is the one who gave  sorrow  to me,

And such thoughts will not arise  to the wise men.

Hear , due to unnecessary  pride  some times,

We think that  we are the people who are doing it,

And  the world  is tied up by the thread of karma,

And all pleasures that  we enjoy  arise from real karma.

Friend, enemy , servant , relatives , those who hate us,

The go in between , people who love us  are only a mental illusion,

And our actions     if we think about it are strange,

 As we think , so it happens and sorrow  and pleasure ,

Are  completely  controllable   by our  real actions,

And when I thought   about   all these ,

 Whatever  speedily comes , should over time ,

Definitely become all right and we should live contented.

Nithyam unlpannam  , vidhi vihitham sakhe.

 Do not go on desiring for pleasures,

Pleasures  come by fate and so there is no need to forsake it,

As far as I can think  worrying about them  is a waste,

The human body  whose mind  gives rise,

To  the good and bad  is the place ,

Where  sins and blessings  are produced,

And so all these  are  determined by fate.

Pleasures and pains are common to everyone,

And these  cannot be removed by devas or asuras,

In the world sorrow comes  after pleasure,

And no need to worry , it is followed by pleasure,

And they  keep on changing  like day and night ,

And when  we think about  it , it does not stop with that,

Pleasure  comes  in the middle  of sorrows,

And  sorrows   come  in  the  middle of pleasures,

And there  are people  for whom they are merged together ,

And friend they are like water  and mud ,

And because  of these , the learned people ,

Live  without  happiness and sorrow in their mind.

Itham Guhanum  Sumithrathmajanumai,

Nithya karamngalum  cheytharuli cheythu ,

“Thoni varuthuga “ yennappol Guhan nalla ,

Thoniyum konduvannasu, vanaginaan.

When Guha   and the son of Sumithra ,

Were talking  several  subjects ,

The Sun came up    and immediately Rama,

Finished   his morning rituals  and told,

“Arrange for a boat”  and immediately  Guha ,

Brought  immediately   a boat  and saluted him.

“Swmin, iyam    dronika  samaruhyathaam,

 Somithrina , Janakathmajayaa samam,

Thoni  thuzhayunnathum adiyan thanne,

Manava veera , Mama Prana vallabha,”

Oh Lord , please  get in to this boat,

Along with Lakshmana   and Janaki ,

I myself am going to row the boat,

Oh Valorous man , The lord of my soul.

Srunga veradhipan vakku ketta neram,

Aayathamayoru  thoni krerinaan,

Jnanathi vargathodu koode  guhan  para-

Madaravodu  vahichithu thoniyum.

As soon as he heard the words of king  of Srungavera,

He first  helped Sita , who is the goddess of auspiciousness,

To get   in to the boat holding her hands,

Then he   got in ,  holding the hands  of Guha,

And  along   with all  the weapons,

Lakshmana   also got in  and ,

With the help extended  by his relatives,

Guha  rowed   the boat with great respect.

Mangalapangiyaam  Janaki deviyum,

“koode  vida kolvathinnu adiyanum oru

Aadal koodathe  anujna nalkeedanam ,

Pranangale kalanjeeduvaan  allaikil,

Enanga bimbanana , Jagathee pathe,”

The lady Sita who had  auspicious characters,

Prayed river Ganges   and saluted  her,

“Oh Ganges , Oh Goddess , My salutations,

Oh pretty one  who lives on the  crown of Shiva,

Oh golden lady , my salutations ,

Oh slow moving river , Oh goddess, Oh ganges, salutations,

When  we all come back after  the life in the forest,

And come here , I would offer you sacrifices and worship.”

And after    she prayed and saluted her ,

They speedily   reached  the  other shore,

Guha got out  of the boat, saluted them and told his wish,

“Please  give me permission to go  with you,
otherwise  I will gave away my life here ,

Oh Lord of  the universe , Oh God with moon like face.

Naishada vakhyangal  kettu manasi ,

SAnthoshena  Raghavan yevam arul cheythu,

“Sathyam  pathinnalu samvathsaram  vipina-

Thil vasichu  varuvan viravil jnan,

Chitha  vishadamozhinju  vaneedu nee ,

Sathya virodham  varaa Ramabhashitham.

Hearing the words of that  tribal ,

With a happy frame of mind Rama  told  him as follows,

“It is an oath , we would live  in the  forest.

For fourteen years   and  we surely  would come back,

And so  please  go and live  without worries,

Because   the words of Rama  will never become untrue.”

Itham oro vidham aruli cheythu,

Chitha modhena  Gadasleshavum cheythu,

Bhakthana  pokennayachu Raghuthaman,

Bhakthya  namaskaichu anjaliyum cheythu,

Mandam mandam  thoni mele guhan veendu,

Mandiram pukku chinthichu maruvinaan,

Like this he advised him  on several things,

And with wonderful joy hugged him tightly,

And then  that Rama  send back the devotee,

And he after  saluting him with great devotion ,

Slowly and slowly  Guha rode   the boat ,

And went  to his home  and became thoughtful.
