Thunjathu Ezhuthachande Adhythma Ramayanam - day 19



Thunjathu Ezhuthachande  Adhythma  Ramayanam -  day 19
(Chapter  on Kishkinda )
(Transcription   and Translation  By P.R.Ramachander)





Kishkinda Kandam

Teaching to Thara.

“Yenthinu  sokam vrudhaa thava? Kelkaa nee ,
Bandamillethum ithinnu   Manohare ,
 Ninnude bharathavu   DEhamo jeevano?
Dhanye   Parmatham yennodu chollu nee  ,
Pancha bhoothathmakam deham yetham jadam,
SAnchitham thwang mamsa  rakthasthi   kondoto?


Why this   is  unnecessary sorrow? Please hear  ,
Oh pretty one , there  is no   relation to it,
But was your husband his soul  or  his body?
Oh blessed one    tell the truth to me,
The five elements make the body , but this corpse ,
Is only a collection of  skin  , flesh  , blood  and bone, is it not?

NIschesta  kashta thulyam deham  orkku nee,
Nischayam aathmavu  jevan niramayan,
Illa jananam , maranavumilla kel,
Allal  undakaykathu ninachethume,
Nilaykayilla     nadakkuyumilla   kel,
Dukha  vishayvum  allathu  kevalam,
Stri Purusha  kleeba   bedangalumilla,
Thapa sithadhiyum illennu ariga nee.
SArvagan  jeevan yekan  paran  adhvayan,
Avyayan  aakasa  thulyan  alepakan,
Shudhamai nithyamai jnanathmaka maya ,
THathwam orthu  yenthu dukathinnu karanam ?”

Remember the body  is equal to  an immobile piece of wood,
And it is definite that   the being is soul,
There is no birth nor death for it ,
And so  do not get worried   thinking about it,
It will not stand   nor walk , here ,
And it is not matter   of  sorrow , definitely,
It does not have  the state of man or woman or eunuch,
And know that  it also  does not feel hot or cold ,
Knowing all  the soul is alone, divine , without a second,
Non changing , similar to the sky , without any name  ,
Always pure , lives  forever  and  is the philosophical,
Principle   of illusion ,  What is the need  for sorrow.

Rama vakyamrutham kettoru  THarayum,
Ramanodasu  chodhichithu pinneyum,
“Nischeshta   kashta thulyam  dehamayathum,
SAchid aathma   nithyamayathu  jeevanum,
Dukha sukhadi sambandam aarkennullathu,
Okke arul cheyyanam   , dhaya   nidhe.

Hearing the nectar  like words of Rama,
She again  asked  the following to Rama,
“When the body is equal to immobile piece of wood,
And   the soul is the divine   soul which is forever,
Please tell me   , who among these  has ,
Connection with sorrow   and pleasure ,
Please  tell this, Oh treasure of mercy.

Yennathu kettu arul cheythu  Raghu varan,
“Dhanye  Rahasyamayullathu   kelkka nee,
Yathoralavu  dehe indriya ahankara ,
BHedha bhavena sambandam undai varum,
 Athranalekkum   athmavinnu samsaram,
Yethum aviveka karanal nirnayam.”

Hearing that  , the blessed   Raghava told,
“Blessed  one , please  hear this which is kept as secret,
Till the  day  that  the body   has  a relation ,
Caused   by  differences in body, sense organs  
And pride  with the soul ,  It  will have,
Touch with domestic life   till then.

Orkkil  mithya bhoothanaya  samsaravum  ,
Parkka   thane  vinivarthikkayilledo,
Nana  vishayangale  dhyamaanaanaam,
Manavan  yengane yennathum  kelkka nee,
Mithyagamam nija swapne yadha thadham,
SAthyamyullathu kettalum engilo.

When we think about it the domestic life.
Which is a body of imagination,
 Would   never   change   by itself,
And  be pleased to hear about  the man
Who keeps on  thinking about  many things,
The domestic life   is only just like ,
The happenings   of a dream.
Please now hear  what  is truth.

Noonam anadhya  avidhya bandha hethunaa ,
Thanaam  ahankruthikkasu  thalkaaryamai,
SAmsarammundaam  aparthakamaayathum,
Samsaramo  raga roshadhi sankulam,
Manasam   samsara  karanamayathum,
Manasathinnu   bandham  bhavikkunnathum,
Aathma  mana samanathwam bhavikkayaal ,
AAthmanasthal  krutha bandham bhavikkunnu.

Definitely due to the primeval  relation  of  Negative  knowledge ,
The egoism mixed     with pride   for that purpose ,
Creates  the domestic life, which is meaningless ,
Because domestic life  is mixed    with passion and anger ,
Mind   builds  a relation   with domestic life,
And  because  soul  and mind  are on equal footing,
The soul also   builds   a similar  relation.

Rakthadhi  sannidhyam  undaga  karanam,
Shudha spatikavum  thadvarnami varum,
Vasthuthayaa parkkil illa  thadranjana  ,
Chithe niroopichu   kanka nee  sookshmamai,
Budheendryadhi   sameepyam  mundakayaal,
Yethum aathmavinnu   samsaravum balal.

By    coming in to    contact with red blood,
A pure crystal   also   appears  to be red,
But if you see in reality  , it has not taken that colour,
Think about this in your mind  and conclude  properly,
The soul appears to have a relation with domestic life,
Only due   to its being influenced by intelligence  and senses.

Aathma swalingamayoru   manassine,
THalparyamodu   parigrahichittallo,
That swabhavangalayulla   kamangale  ,
Sathwadhikalaam   gunangalaal badhnai  ,
SEvikkayaal   avasathwam  kalarnnathu  ,
BHavikka kondu   samsare   valayunnu.

The soul  uses  the mind which is its creation,
And  embraces   it with great interest,
And serves  the  desire which is a character of the mind,
Attached by  its  own properties  like Satwa, rajas  and Thamas,
And   due to it  becomes greatly weakened ,
And as  a   result of this  undergoes suffering in domestic life.

Aadhou  mano gunaan   srushtwaa  thathasthaddaa,
Vedam vidhikkum   bahu vidha  karmangal,
 Shukla   rakthasitha   bedha   gathikalai,
Mikkathum thath samanya  prabhavangalai,
Ingane karma vasena   jevan   balal,
 Yengum aabhootha plavam bramichidunnu.

Initially    the mind   creates   these characters,
And observes   the various rituals  indicated  by Vedas,
Which are a mixture  of White (Sathwa), red(rajasa) ,
And  black (thamasa) ,  and  while doing most of these  Karmas ,
This  soul  due   to the actions  of these ,
Continues to live till the deluge  , When all  the  bodies  perish.

Pinne samastha  samhara  kale   jeevan,
Annumanadhya vidhya vasam  prapichu,
THishtathya abhinivesathal  punaradha,
Srushti kale   Poorva vasanayaa  samam,
Jayathe  bhooyo ghatiyanthraval  sadaa ,
Maya balathal  athu aarkku ozhikkamedo

Then   at the time  of death of all , the soul,
Getting tangled   with  primeval negative knowledge  ,
Due   to  the memories left in there  , and again,
At the time of creation , along with the  ,
Memories   of the past , takes birth ,
Like a time machine  with embedded memories,
And who can prevent  this   rotation of time?

Yathorikkal  nija punya viseshena  ,
Chethasi   sathsangathi   labhicheedunnu,
Mad bhakthasnaya  santhathmavinnu  punar,
Appol avanmathi mad vishayaa drudam,
Sradhayumundaam   kadha sravane mama ,
 Shudha swaroopa   vignanavum   jayathe  ,
Sal guru nadha prasadena manase,
Mukhya vakhyartha   vijnanam undai varum.

At  that  time  by the effect of good deeds  that one does,
When  his mind gets company of holy people.
To  the peaceful soul  who is devoted to me,
His  mind firmly gets  attached to me,
He  gets  interested in hearing my stories,
And when  in his mind the pure knowledge of soul enters,,
Then  by the grace of a  good  Guru,
He would start  realizing  the chief sayings of Vedas.

Dehendriya mana pranadhikalil  ninnu,
AA hantha , veronnu noonam athmavithu,
Sathyam anandam yekam paramadwayam,
Nithyam nirupamam nishkalam, nirgunam,
Itham ariyumbol mukthanam appozhe ,
Sathyam mayodhitham  sathyam mayoditham,
Yathoruthan vicharikkunnathingane ,
Chethasi samsara dukham avanilla.

Understand definitely that  the soul  is different,
From body, organs, mind and life  and is ,
Truth , joyful , alone , divine, one without second,
Forever, matchless , stain less and character less.
As soon as you understand this  you get free immediately,
What I say is truth, what I say is truth,
And to the one  who thinks like  this,
There is no sorrow due to life in his mind.

Neeyum mayaa proktham orthu visudhayai ,
Maya vimoham kalaka , manohare,
Karma bandathingal ninnudan ver pettu,
Nirmala brahmani thanne layikka nee ,
Chithe ninakku kazhinja janmathingal ,
Yethrayum bhakthi yundu yengal, athu kondu,
Roopavum evam ninakku katti thannu,
THapam ini kalanjalum aeesham nee,
Mad roopam yidrusam dhyanichu kolgayum,
Madvachanathe vicharichu kolgayum,
Cheythaal ninakku moksham varum nirnayam,
Kaithavamalla paranjathu kevalam.

Please  remember what  I have told you, become pure,
And leave out the stupor created  by illusion, Oh pretty one,
Get  detached   from the ties of Karma , immediately,
Please get  merged  in the very pure Brahmam,
Due  to the great devotion that  you had in last birth to me,
I showed   my real form to you ,
Throw away the sorrow, completely  from your mind,
And if you  meditate on  my form that  you see,
And remember  the words  that  I just told you,
You would  definitely  get salvation,
And what  I told you  is not falsehood.

Sri Rama vakyam  anandena kettoru,
Tharayum   vismayam poondu vananginaal,
Moham akannu thelinjithu chithavum,
Deha abhimana ja dukhavum pokkinaal,’
Athmanubhoothi  kondasu  santhushtyai,
Athma bodhena jeevan mukthayayinaal.

After joyfully hearing the words of Rama,
Thara was wonderstruck  and saluted him,
Her mind  awoke  from the stupor,
And she lost all sorrow emanating  from the body,
And becoming  contended  due to realization of soul,
Due to the teaching , she attained salvation  ,
Even when she   was  alive.

Moksha pradanaya Raghavan thannodu ,
Kal kshanam sangama mathrena Tharayum,
Bhakthi muzhthittu  anadhi bandham theernnu,
Mukthayayal , oru nariyennakilum,
Vygram yellam  akale ppoi thelinjithu,
Sugreevanum  iva kettoranantharam,
Ajnanam yellam akannu  soukhyam poondu ,
Vijnanamodu  athi swasthanayaan   thulom.

Tahra with the company   of  Rama who can grant salvation,
For such a short time , became ripened in her devotion,
And got detached   from  the primeval  relations,
And got salvation , and though she was a lady,
All her perplexity vanished and  her mind became clear,
And Sugreeva  after  hearing all these,
Lost all his ignorance , became happy,
And got contentment  by  divine knowledge.

Crowning  of Sugreeva.


Sugreevanodu arul cheythan  anantharam,
“Agraja puthranaam Angadhan thanneyum,
Munnittu samskaradhi karmangale,
Punyaha paryantham  aa hantha, cheyga nee.”
Ramagnayaa  thelinjaasu  Sugreevanum ,
AAmodha poorvam  orukki thudanginaan,
Soumyamayulloru tharayum  puthranum,’
Brahmanarum  Amathya pradhananmarum,
Poura janangalumai  nrupendrochitham,
Bheri mrudangaadhi vadhya ghoshathodum,’
Sasthroktha margena  karmam kazhichadha,
Snathwaa  jagama Raghuthama  sannidhou.

Then later  Rama  told Sugreeva,
“Please  perform the death rites of your brother,
Making Angadha  taking the lead ,
Till   the purification   period comes again ,”
Sugreeva  understanding Rama’s order,
Started  making preparations  for the rites.
The very peaceful  Thara  , her son,
Brahmins  , the  important ministers,
And the citizens , in a way suitable  to the king,
Along   with  playing of drums and other  musical instruments,
Completed   the rituals  as per  Sastras,
And after  taking bath  He appeared  before Rama.

Manthrigalodum  pranamya  padambuja,
Manthar mudhaa paranjan kapi pungavan,
“Rajyathe rakshichu kolga vena mini ,
Poojyanalkum  ninthiruvadi sadaram,.
Dasanayittulor adiyan  ithava,
Sasanayum  paripalichu  santhatham,
Deva devesa, they  pada padma dwayam,
Sevichu kolluvan Lakshmanane ppole.”

That monkey chief  along with the ministers,
Saluted   the lotus feet of Rama  and with joy  told,
“Your honorable self   has  to look,
After  and protect the kingdom now,
I being  your  lowly slave would,
Always obey your commands ,
Oh God of gods , I would  serve ,
Your  lotus like  feet  like Lakshmana.

Sugreeva vakkukal  itharam kettu udan,
Agre chirichu arul cheythu Raghuthaman,
“Nee thanne , jnan athinnu illoru samsayam,
Preethanai  poyalum aasu mamagnayaa,
Rajyadhipathyam  ninakku thannen  , ini,
Poojyanai   chennabhishekam  kazhikka nee.

As soon  as he heard the words of Sugreeva like this,
That great one of Raghu clan smiled in front and told,
“ You are  myself, there is no doubt about that ,
As per my order, you go back pleased,
Because I have given the kingship  to you,
And now  go and  get  the crowning done.”

“Noonam oru nagaram pugayumilla,
Jnano pathinalu samvathsaratholam ,
Soumithri cheyyum abhishekam aadaraal,’
Samarthyamulla  kumarane pinne nee,
Youva rajyarthamabhishechaya prabho,
SArvam adeenam  ninakku rajyam sakhe,
Baliye ppole paripalanam cheythu,
Balaneyum  paripalichu kolga nee.”

I will not definitely enter  a town,
For   fourteen long years.
And so Lakshmana   will do the crowning,
Also please  crown the intelligent  boy,
As  the junior king , Oh lord,
And friend, the  entire kingdom is under your control,
And now look after it exactly as Bali did,
And also  look after  the boy very well.

Adri shikare vasikkunnathundu jnan,
Adhya prabruthi chathur masyamakullal,
Pinne  varisham kazhinjaal  anantharam,
Anweshanartham  prayathnangal cheyga nee ,
Thanwangi  than iruppidam  arinju,
Vannennodu cholgayum venam mama  sakhe,
Athra nalum  purathingal vasikka nee,
Nithya sukhathodum darathmajai samam.

I would   live  on the  top of the mountain,
Because  of the starting  of four months penance,
And after  the rains are over ,
You make efforts to  enquire, and once  you ,
Find out the place  where the pretty lady is staying,
You have   to come  and tell me,my friend,
Till that  time you live  in the town,
With daily pleasures  along with wife and son.

Raghavan thanodu anugnayum  kai kondu,
Vegena Soumithriyodu Sugreevanum ,
Chennu puri pukkabhishekavum cheythu,
Vannithu Ramanthike Sumithrathmajan,
Sodaranodum pravarshanakhye  girou,
Sadaram  chennu kareri Raghuthaman.

After  getting the blessings of Sri Rama,
Sugreeva went speedily along with Lakshmana,
Went inside the town  and got crowned,.
Then son of Sumithra  came back to Rama,
Rama along  with his brother ,
Went to the to live on  the Pravarshana mountain,

Unnatha moordha  shikharam  pravesichu,
Ninna neram oru gahwaram kaanayi,
Sphatika deepthi   kalarnnu  vilangina,
Hataka desam mani pravarojjwalam,
Vatha  varisha  himatha pravaaranam,
Pada vrunda  phala moola sanchitham,
THathraiva  vasaaya  rochayaamasa,
Soumithrinaa  Sri Rama bhadaran manoharan.

After  entering  the top peak of the mountain,
When they stood   they saw  one cave,
And that cave   had the light   of a crystal,
And was a golden place  studded  with gems.
And was not affected  by wind , rain  ,and cold,
And was full of trees which had fruits and roots,
And  since  they liked living there ,
Rama   and Lakshmana  continued to live there.

Sidha yogendradhi bhaktha janam  thadhaa,
Marthya vesham,  poonda Narayanan thanne ,
Pakshi mrugadhi   roopam  darichanwaham,
Pakshi dwajane  bhajichu  thudanginaar,
Sthawara jangama jathikal yevarum,
DEvane kandu sukichu maruvinaar..

The Sidhas , great yogis   as well as  devotes.
Took  the form of birds   and animals ,
And  seeing Lord Narayana  in human form,
Started  singing   about the one with bird on his flag,
And all the moving and not moving beings  ,
Also became very happy to be seeing the God.

Raman thathra   Samadhi virathanai,
Yekantha dese  maruvum dasanthare ,
Yekadhaa vandhichu Soumithri  chodichu aruleedinaan,
“Kelkkayil agraham  param  kriya margam,
Aakhyahi  moksha padam  , triloki pathe,
Varnasramikalkku  mokshadam pol  , athu,
Varnichu   arul cheyka venam Dhaya  nidhe.

Once when Rama had  come out of the Samadhi,
And  was living in a place of solitude,
Lakshmana   saluted him  with love  and asked,
“I have the wish to ask you  to tell , the method of worship,
Which  leads to salvation , Oh lord of the three  worlds,
It seems it   is the method of salvation for the householder,
Kindly tell about  in detail to me.”

Narada vyasa virinchadhikal  sadaa,
Narayana pooja kondu  sadhikkunnu,
Nithyam  purushartham yennu  yogeendranmaar,
Bhakthyaa parayuynnithennu  kelppundu , jnan,
BHakthanai  dasanai ullorradiyannu,
Mukthi pradam   upadesicharulanam,
Lokaika nadhaa , bhavan arul cheykilo ,
Lokopakaram  makayum  undallo.
Lakshmanan yevam unarthicha nerathu,
Thal kshane   Sri ramadevan aul cheythu.

Sages like Narada   and Vyasa  and God Brahma  ,
Through   daily worship of Narayana always,
Achieve Dharama, wealth , desire  and salvation,
Say the great sages with great devotion , that is what I hear,
Please  tell me who is  your devotee  and slave,
 The way   to salvation, Oh Lord of the world,
And if you  tell it , it would also become useful  to the world,
And when Lakshmana   made   this request,
Immediately  The God Rama  told him as follows.

The teaching  of methods of proper   worship.

Kelka   nee yengil  mal  pooja vidhanathinnu,
Orkkil  avasanamillennu ariga,
Yengilum  cholluvaan ottu  samkshepichu ,
Ningal ulloru  vathsalyam  muzhkkayaal.
Thannude thannude   guhyoktha maargena,
Mannidathingal dwijathwam undai vannal ,
Acharyanodu  manthram kettu sadaram,
Acharya  poorvam aaradhikka maamedo.

Then hear  the method of my worship ,
Which really  does not have an end,
Still I will tell you with a lot of summarization,
Due to  the maturing of great affection towards you,
When each and every one  follows  his own secret method,
In the earth these  methods multiplied to more than two,
So you have to ask your Guru  about the proper chant,
And   have to worship me in front of your  Guru.

Hrul kamalathingal aakilumaam  punar,
Agni bhagwangal aakelumamoda,
Mukhya  prathi  madhikalil yennakilum,
Arkangal aakilum  appingalaakilum ,
SThadilathingalum nalla   SAlagramam,
Undengilo punar uthamam yethrayum,

It can be done in the  our lotus heart,
Or can be   done  before the  fire god ,
Or important idols  or in place of worship ,
Or in water  or in leveled  seat of worship ,
Or  to the suitable salagrama* stone,
Which   is the most appropriate.
          *Stones from Gandagi river, Nepal

Using   the chants   or tantric rites said in the Vedas,
Using   the rites of cleaning   with mud,
After  taking bath in the morning for cleanliness of the body,
Understanding the correct root chant ,
After  performing the rituals   of dawn ,
After  performing    the daily rituals,
Do the meditation to clean  your actions ,
And then assuming   that I am your teacher,
Worship  daily with great devotion.

Give bath to the statue for  its auspiciousness,
Then it has to be  cleaned and dried, and to the one
Who later worships using sandal and flowers,
All his desires would be fulfilled, please know this,
Decoration   of the main statue ,
Gives   me lot of   joy, please  know this.

With respect  we have  to offer Havis(cooked food)  to the fire,
Or  if it is the leveled place outside , it should be offered to the Sun,
It is necessary  that before we start, all   the necessary  material 
For worship   should  be collected earlier .
Even water  offered to me with  attention,
If given by  a devotee    is  greatly liked by me
I shall be more pleased  , if  I am offered  sandal, 
Flowers  , sacred rice ,  and eatables  are offered.

 Seat made of cloth, deer skin  or  grass,
Are   good and holy  and  should be used,
You have to go with peace  before God,
And  do   the ritual chanting with lips along with joy,
And then do  the  spiritual   rituals,
And  due the fivefold ritual of the cage to my statue,
And  this   has to be followed by  ritual chants,
Keep in front of you  , on the left a water pot ,
And on the right   side   flowers  and other materials,
And you have  to collect all these  with complete devotion.

Perthu mathonnum  nirropanam koodathe  ,
Malkalaam  jeeva samgnaam  thadith ujjwalam,
Hrul kamala   drudam dhyanichu kollanam.

The fruits and flowers   for Arghya  , water  as Padhya  ,
Madhuparka*,  water for inner cleansing , are ,
The four vessels  that should be kept before us.
 Without   any other  thought in the mind,
You have to meditate on my crescent which is symbol of life ,
Which shines like lightning , firmly.
       *Mixture of curd, ghee , water , honey and sugar.

Pinne  swadeham akhilam thwayaa  vyaptham,

 Ithyadyai puna   snana  vasthra  vibhooshanai,
Yethrayunulla, athu upacharam yennale ,
Thathrayum kolam  yenikku yennathe  yullu.

Then we should firmly believe   that   you  are ,
Completely spread   all over  my  body , without any doubt,
And then bring in to the statue   my crescent ,
And meditate   it as    the form of God,
Afterwards , Arghya, Padhya and Madhu parka  ,
Should be offered , followed by ,
Offering of bath and cloth and other decorations,
The amount  of  respect and hospitality that is offered to me,
I would be satisfied   to that   extent.

As per   the instruction of Vedas , offer  lighted camphor,
Incense  , light  and  food offering in a detailed manner ,
And If these  are  offered with sincerity   and faith,
Know that  I also accept them with sincerity,
And lad  you remember  me by chanting the root chant,
Or  chant Purusha Sooktha  with  great devotion,
In  the fire sacrifice done  in the  fire ,
Lighted  according to specification of  sage Agasthya.

In the fire of Oupasana* offer  rice cooked with butter and milk,
As the sacred  offering and this way you do the fire sacrifice ,
The  knowing one  during the fire sacrifice meditates,
Me as  situated  in the middle of the fire ,
Which shines equal to the  molten gold ,
AS one   who is decorated  by divine  ornaments.
            *The sacred fire maintained  by the householder.

Ma dathamakum  prasdaatheyum punar,
Uthamange nidhaya Ananda poorvakam,
“Raksha maam Ghora samsaradh” ithi muhur,
Ukthwaa  namaskaravum cheythanantharam,
Udvasippichudan prathyang mahassingal,
Itham dinam anu poojikka  nath sakhe.

Then offer sacrifice  to those  devas  who are present there,
And bring to an end the fire sacrifice ,
Chant with devotion  the manthra in silence,
Give   betel leaf and other material which brings scent  to the mouth,
And  later in front of me  offer dance , music , and chanting of prayers,
Fixing me in their mind , wear  the prasada*    which  is given by me,
On the head  and with great  happiness pray,
“Please protect me from the horrible  life of birth and death”.
And after  this offer  salutation by falling on the ground ,
Bring to an auspicious end   the   Kriya yoga ,
And you have   to do this daily  , my friend.
*The offering made to God

Bhakthi samyuthanayulla marthyan mudhaa,
Nithyamevam   Kriya yogam  anushtikkil ,
DEha nase  mama sarupyavum varum,
Ihika   soukhyangal  yenthu cholenamo?
Itham mayoktham  Kriya yogam uthamam,
Bhakthyaa padikka   than kelkka   than cheykilo,
Nithya pooja  phalam undavannu ,”  athum,
Bhaktha  priyan  arul cheythaan anneram.

The man who is blessed with devotion, if,
He happily observes  this Kriya Yoga daily,
On his death   , he   would merge   with me,
And also  when he is alive , he would get pleasures of the world.
If this  Kriya Yoga which has   been told by me ,
Is daily  read   or heard    along with devotion,
He would get the effect of daily  worship.”
Said  the God wo loves his devotees  , at that time.

SEshamsa jathaanaam  Lakshmanan  thannodu,
ASesham midham   arul chethoranantharam,
Maya  mayanaaya   Narayanan paran ,
Mayam avalambhya   Dukham thudaniginaan,
“ Ha  Janakahmaje  , Sithe Manohare  ,
Ha  Jana Mohini, Nadhe   , mama priye,
“Yevamadhi   pralapm cheyhthu  nidhrayum ,
Deva devannu varathe   chamanjithu  ,
Soumithri thannude   vakyamrutham kondu.
Soumukhamode  maruvum chila   neram.

After   telling like  this in great detail,
To Lakshmana   who is born   with  the power of Adhi Sesha,
That  divine Narayana , who is filled  with illusion,
Assumed   the illusion  and started feeling sad,
“Hey daughter of Janaka , Hey Sita , Hey pretty one,
Hey bewitcher of the world. Hey dear , Hey my darling,”
Like this he was   wailing   and
Sleep  did  not come   to that  god of gods at that time.
And Lakshmana   using his  nectar  like words,
For some time   consoled him to become  peaceful.
The talk  between Hanuman and Sugrreva.

Ingane vazhunna  kalam oru dhanam,
Angu Kishkindapurathuingal   vazhunna,
Sugreevanodu  paranju  pavanajan,
Agre vanangi  niinu yekanthamaam vannam,
“Kelkka Kapeendra, ninakku hithangalaa,
Vakkukal  jnan parayunnathu sadaram,
Ninnude karyam varuthi Raghuthaman,
Munname Sathya vruthan, purushothaman,
Pinne neeyoniroopihilla thethumennu,
Yennude manase thonnunnathu innaho”

While they were living like this   one day,
In Kishkinda town , Hanuman  stood near ,
And saluted    Sugreeva  , when they were  alone and told,
“ Please  hear me king of monkeys, I am telling ,
These words   which are meant for your  good.
The best among Raghu clan completed your job,
Earlier as  he is a follower of truth and the best among men,
But after  that  I feel  , you have  not given
Any thought  in your mind, it seems.”

Bali  maha balavan , kapi pungavan,
TRilokya sammathan, deva rajathmajan,
Ninnude moolam marichubalal avan,
Munname karyam varuthi koduthithu ,
Rajyabhishekavum cheythu, maha jana,
Poojyanaitharayumai iruneedu nee,
Yethra naal undiruppu yingane yennathum,
Chithathil  undu thonnunnu darikka nee,
Adhya  vaa swo vaa  paraswodha thava ,
Mruthyu  bhavikkum   athinilla samsayam,
Prathyupakaram marakkunna purushan,
Chathinnokkume jevichirikkilum.”

Bali was   greatly strong , the best among monkeys,
One recognized  by all three worlds,
The   son of Devendra, died  because of you,
Your wants  have   been  fulfilled earlier,
You have been crowned and you ,
Are  staying here  along with Thara , worshipped by all,
You have to think in your  mind,
As to how many days you  can prolong like this,
There is no doubt that death can come  today.
Or tomorrow    or   any other   day,
And the man who    forgets   gratitude ,
Is equal to a dead body , even when he is alive.

“Parvathagre  nija sodaran thannodum,
Oorveeswaran  parithapena vazhunnu,
Ninneyum parthu  paranja samayavum,
Vannathum neeyo  darichathillethume ,
Vanara bhavena manini sakthanai ,
Panavum cheythumathi marannanwaham,
  RAppaklum ariyathe vasikkunna,
Koppukal yethrayum nannu nanningane  ,
Agrajanaaya   sakraathmajane ppole ,
Nigrahicheedum  bhavaneyum nirnayam.”

On  the top of the mountain   along with his brother ,
The   god of the land   is living pathetically ,
Waiting  for you,  as the time agreed to  has come,
But you have   not  understood this,
Like a monkey attracted  by your wife,
Drinking alcohol , you have forgotten everything,
And are  living without  understanding the march of day and night,
And  you are   feeling that  everything is great .
Like your elder brother  who was son of Devendra,
It is definite     that   you also would be killed.

Anjana nandanan  thannude   vakku kettu,
Anjasaa  bheethanayoru sugreevanum,
Utharamai   avan thannodu chollinan,
“Sathyamathre  nee paranjathu nrnayam,
Ithram   chollum amathyan   undengilo,
Prutweesannu apathu  methukayillallo.”

Hearing the words of    the son of Anjana,
Sugreeva   who was greatly terrified  ,
Told   this   as an  answer   to him,
“Whatever you have told   is the truth,
When one has   a minister  who tells like this,
 The king will never get in to danger.”

SAthwaram yennude  aajnayodum  bhavan,
Pathu dikkingalekkum ayachidenam,
SAptha dweepa   sthithanmaaraya   vanara ,
Sathamanmare  varuthuvanai  drutham,
Nere  pathinayiram kapi veerare ,
Pparatheyayakka   sandesa   pathrathodum.”

You please   send messengers     to all ten directions,
Along with my order, that  the chiefs  of monkeys,
In the seven islands should come here immediately,
Send   ten thousand monkeys    with  ,
This message  from me immediately.

Paksathinnullil varanam kapi kulam,
Paksham kazhinju  varunnathu yennakilo,
Vadhyan  avan ithinnilloru samsayam,
SAthyam paranjaal ilakka millethume,”
Anjana puthranodu  itham niyogichu,
Manjula mandiram pukkiruneedinaan,
BHarthru niyogam puraskruthya marutha-
Puthranum  vanara sathamanmaareyum ,
Pathu dikkinnumayachan abhimatha  ,
Datha poorvam , Kappendranmarum anneram,
Vayu vega pracharena Kapi kula  ,
Nayakanmaare varuthuvaanai mudha,
Poyithu dhanamanadhi trupthathmanaa,
Maya manushya karyartham athi drutham.

The monkey chiefs should come within fifteen days,
And if they come   after   the end of fifteen days,
There is no doubt that   he would be killed,
When I tell the truth, it will never get changed.”
Telling like this to  Hanuman, Sugreeva ,
Went inside   his very  pretty house.
As per the   orders   of  his boss , the son,
Of wind God send   the   monkey soldiers,
To all the ten directions along with  ,
The orders communicated by the king.
They    went with the speed of wind,
To summon the chief of the monkeys,
With great satisfaction  , out of pay and respects  to them,
Speedily for doing  the work of the illusory man.


The pain of Rama caused  by absence of his wife.

Ramanum parvatha moordhani dukhichu,
BHaminiyodum  pirinju vazhum vidhou  ,
THapena   Lakshmanan thannodu chollinaan,
“Papam ayyo , mama kanka , kumara , nee ,
Janaki devi  marichitho  kuthrachil,
Manasa  thapena   jeevichirikkayo,
Nischayichathu yethum arinjillallo,
Kaschil  purushan yennodu  sampreethanaai <
Jeevichirikunnathu  cholledugil,
Kevalam   yethrayum  ishtnavan mama,
Enganum  undirikunnathu  yennakil jnan,
Ingu balal  kondu poruvan nirnayam.


Rama  leading a life   separated from his wife,
On the top   of  the mountain   was  sorrowful,
And with great pain told   Lakshmana,
“ Poor one , alas , See mine   oh lad ,
Has    the lady  Sita died perhaps,
Or is she living  with great  pain in mind,
We   do not know  about the thing that  we decided,
Suppose they tell me     that   she is,
Living with mental satisfaction ,
He would become   very dear to me,
And suppose  they see she is living somewhere ,
I  will definitely    go and bring her here.”

Janaki deviye  katta kallan thanne,
Manasa kopena  nashtamakkeduvan,
Vamsavum  koode odukkunathundoru,
SAmsayam   yethum ithinnilla nirnayam,
Yenneyum kaanaanju  dukhichirikkunna,
Ninne jnan yennu ini kanannu vallabhe,
Chandranane  nee pirinjathu karanam ,
Chandranum aadhithyane polayithu  ,
Chandra, Seethamsukkalal avale   chennu,
Mandam mandam  thalodi thalodi  thadhaa,
Vannu  thadaveedukenneyum sadaram,
Ninnude   gothrajayallo  janakaja.

If I see that   thief  who stole  the lady Janaki,
Due to anger in my mind , I  will kill him,
I would completely destroy  his clan,
There  is no doubt  about this definitely,
When I  would be able to see  you , who is,
Sorrowful as  ,  you are not able to see me, Oh darling,
Oh lady with a moon like face , because of parting with you,
Even the moon   is burning me like the sun,
Oh moon, Along with your cooling rays  , go there,
Slowly pat her  , caress  her  and then,
Come here to caress  me  , after all does she ,
Not belong to your clan.

Sugreevanum  dhaya heenanayathre   thulom,
Dukhithanam yenneyum, marannan allo,
Nishkandakam   rajyamasu labhichavan,
Maikannimarude  koode  dhiva nisam,
Madhyapana saktha chithaanaam kamukan,
Vyaktham kruthagnan athre   Sumithrathmaja,
Vannu saral   kalam yennathu  kandavan,
Vannelayallo  paranja vannam   , sakhe,
Anweshanam    cheythu  seethadhivasavum,
Innedam  yennu arinjeeduvan  aayavan,
Poorvopakariyaam yenne marakkayaal,
Poorvanavan kruthagnanmaril  nirnayam.

Sugreeva appears to be greatly merciless ,
For has he  not forgotten me  who is sad?
When he got the kingdom without enemies,
He is a lover   who spends day and  night  ,
With pretty  ladies   along with his  desire for alcohol,
Oh Lakshmana, it is clear  that  he is ungrateful,
And   in spite of  his knowing  that  the spring has arrived,
He has  not come   as earlier promised, my friend,
It is definite   that  he leads  the list of ungrateful people ,
Because he has forgotten to search  for Sita,
And locate her  and tell  me about  it,
In spite  of the help rendered  by me earlier.

Ishtarayulla   janathe marakkunna  ,
Dushtaril  mumbundu  Sugreevan orkka nee ,
Kishkindayodum   bandukkalodum koode 
Markada sreshtane   nigrahicheeduvaan,
Agraja margam   gamikkenam innini
Sugreevanum  athinilloru samsayam.

Remember  that   Sugreeva    leads  the bad people ,
Who forget those  people   who love them,
I will  kill that   monkey chief    along with,
Kishkinda and along with his relations,
There  is no doubt    that Sugreeva,
Has to go in the path of his elder   brother.

Itham arul  cheytha  Raghavanodathi ,
Krudhanayoru Soumithri cholleddinaan,
“Vadhyanayoru   Sugreevane sathwaram,
Hathwaa vida kolvan adhya   thavanthikam,
AAjnapayasu   maam, Yennu   paranjithu,
Prajnayoru  Sumithra thanayanum.

Addressing   Sri Rama    who told like this,
The very angry   son of Sumithra told,
“ Speedily give me    orders   to kill and bid  farewell,
 To Sugreeva  , who has  to be killed ,”
 So said  the very  wise   son of Sumithra.”

AAdhaaya   chapa thoonera   gadkangalum,
Krodhena   ganthum  abhyudhyatham  sodharam,
Kandu Raghupathi   chollinaan  pinneyum,
“Undonnu  ninnodiniyum parayunnu,
Hanthavyanalla  Sugreevan  mama SAhkhi,
KInthu bhayapedutheedukenne   varoo,
“Baliye pole  ninakkum   viravodu,
Kalapurathinnu  pokam ariga nee.”
Itham  avanodu  chennu  chonnal athinnu,
Utharam   chollunnathum   kettu kondu nee  ,
Vegena vannal   athinnu anuroopam,
Aakuthamorthu   karthavyamanantharam.”

Taking bow  , arrows , quiver  and sword,
When his   angry brother  was about to go,
 Sri Rama   again    told him,
“I have one thing  more to tell you  ,
Sugreeva  is not one to be killed , my friend,
But you  come back, after  definitely scaring   him,
“Understand that   you would  soon,
Go to the  city of death like    Bali,”
If you tell like   this   to him,
And hear   what  he has to say ,
And come back very speedily,
And depending on that  , 
We would take   decision  ,
As to what should be done.
