Thunjathu Ezhuthachande Adhythma Ramayanam - day 20



Thunjathu Ezhuthachande  Adhythma  Ramayanam -  day 20
(Chapter  on Kishkinda )
(Transcription   and Translation  By P.R.Ramachander)




Kishkinda Kandam

The starting   of Lakshmana.

Agrajajnayaa Soumithri sathwaram,
Sugreeva   rajyam parathi  nadanedinaan,
Kishkindayodum   dahichu pom ippozhe,
Markata   jathikal yennu thonnum vannam,
Vijana moorti   sarvajnan    anaakoolan,
 Ajnaniyayulla   manushane ppole,
Dukha sukhadhikal  kai kondu varthichu,
Dushkrutha    santhi lokathinnudaakaan,

As per  the orders  of his elder brother, the son of Sumithra,
Started   walking towards the kingdom of Sugreeva,
And it appeared as if  that Kishkinda would be burnt,
 Along with   the entire  clan of  monkeys,
And that personification  of divine wisdom ,
Who  knows everything   and who is drowned in divine joy,
Walked like   an ignorant man  who tries to destroy his sorrow,
For the purpose   of world getting rid of bad ones  and turn peaceful.

Munnam Dasarathan  cheytha thapobalam,
THannude   sidhi varuthi koduppanum,
Pankaja   sambhavanaadhikal   kkundaya,
SAnkatam theerthu   rakshichu  koduppanum,
Manusha vesham   daricha paraparan,
Ananda moorthi , jaganmayan, easwaran,
Nana janangalum   mayayaa mohichu,
Mana   sama Jnana  samyukthamaakayaal,
Moksham  varuthunnathengane   jnanennu,
SAkshal Maha Vishnu   chithichu kalpichu,
SArva  jagan  maya nasiniyakiya,
Divya kadhaye  prasidhiyakku yadhaa,
Ramanai   manisha vyapara jathayam,
Ramayanabhidham  Ananda dhayinim,
SAlkadham yi prapanchathil  okkave  ,
Vikhyathayakuvaan   Ananda purushan,
Krodhavum , mohavum  , kamavum ragavum,
Khedahdhiyum  Vyvaharartha sidhaye,
Thathal  kriyaa kala desochitham  nija ,
Chitheparigrahicheedinaan easwaran.

Due to the effect of penance   done earlier by Dasaratha,
And for bringing  his     divine   power to the world,
And for  removing  the sorrow   that,
Occurred  to Brahma   and other devas and save them,
That divine among divines , that personification of joy,
The God who pervades  in the universe, thinking ,
About  how  ordinary people   who  desire due to illusion,
Who get their mind completely filled with ignorance
Would attain salvation , that  real  god Vishnu,
Ordered that  the divine story  , which  ,
Would    destroy  the illusion  filling the world,
Should be made famous , where  in,
Rama was  born in the    form of a  human being  ,
And lived as detailed  in Ramayana, which brings joy,
And that   Man of joy   who wanted that  this good story,
Would be made   famous   all over the world,
Assumed  in his mind, anger  ,  attachment , passion  ,  melody,
Sorrow and all  for completing the actions of the world,
And did all those   as per the needs of  time  and place,

SAthwadhikalaam  gunangalil  than  ,
Anurakthane ppole bhavikkunnu  nirgunan,
Vijnana moorthiyaam   sakshi sukhatmakan,
Vijnana sakthi man , avyakthan, adwayan,
Kamadhikalaal avilipthan anvayan,
VYomvadvyapthan, ananthan anamayan,
Divya muneeswaranmaar sanakadhikal  ,
SArvathmakane chilar  arinjeeduvoor.

It appears   that, that man without any properties , 
Is interested   in  properties   like Satwa  habit,
That divine one   is  who is a witness , has a  soul with divine joy,
One who is really powerful , one who is not clear , one who has no two,
One who is touched   by desires, one without any relation,
One who is spread like sky , one who is endless , one who does not have any stain,
Some sages   like Sanaka   understand that one whose soul is everywhere.

Nirmalathmakkalayulla   bhakthanmaarkku,
SAmyak  prabodham undamennu  chollunnu,
 Bhaktha  chithanu saarena  sanjayathe ,
Mukthi pradhan  muni vandhyan, nishevithan.

It is tod that , to the devotees who have a   pure soul,
He will appear      as true form   and  ,
That giver of salvation, that one saluted by sages
And that honoured one   is born as  per   the wish of the devotees .

Kishkindayaam  nagaranthikam   prapichu,
Lakshmananum   cheru jnan  oli  yittithu,
Markatanmaar   avane kanduu petichu,
Chalkru kila kila sabdham   paravasaal,
Vapropari paanju  kallum marangalum,
Vibramathode   kaiyil pidichavarum,
Pedichu  moothra malangal  visarjichu .
Chadi thudanginaar  angum , ingum drutham.

Lakshmana reached   the city of Kishkinda,
 And made a small twang    with his bow,
And the monkeys got scared  on seeing him,
And due to fear   they made a  sound “Kila,kila”,
All  the stones and trees flew above the walls,
And those who were  holding it due to surprise,
 Went to pee  and pooh  and started  jumping here  and there.

Markata  kootatheyokke   yodukkuvaan,
Ulkambil   abhudhyuthanaya   Soumithri,
Villum  kuzhaye  kulachu   valichithu,
Bhallaka vrundavum   vallatheyayithu,
Lakshmanan   aagathanaya tharinjadha,
Thal kshanam   Angadhan odi vaneedinaan.

That son of Sumitra   who had   come ready,
To completely suppress  the  monkey herd,
Twanged his bow  fiercely  and pulled the  thread ,
And the group of monkeys were greatly perplexed,
And  as soon as  he knew that  Lakshmana has come,
Immediately Angadha   came  running there.

SAkha mrugangale   aatti kalanju than,
Yekanai chennu  namaskaricheedinaan,
Preethanai aasleshavum  cheythavanodu,
Jatha modham    sumithrathmajan  chollinaan,
“Gacha vathsa, thwam  pithruvyane  kondu,
Choli cheytha   karyam   pizhakkumennasu nee,
Ichayayullathu   cheytha mithrathe   ,
Vanjichaal   artha ma vilambitham varum,
Ugranaam agrajan yennodu arul cheuthu,
Nigrahicheeduvan  Sugreevane kshanaal,
Agraja margam gamikkanam yennundu,
Sugreevan ul kambil yengil athe varu,
Yennarul cheythathu chennu paraka, “ yennu,
Chonnathu  kettoru   Bali thanayanum  ,
THannullil undaya bheethiyodum avan,
Chennu   Sugreevane vanshichu  chollinaan.

After  driving away those animals on tree branch,
Angadha went   alone and saluted Lakshmana,
And Lakshmana  with love hugged him and told,
“Please go lad,  meet   the brother of your father ,
The job that   you have done has erred greatly,
If you deceive one who fulfilled your wishes,
Then  the wealth  would get delayed,
My ferocious elder   brother   told me,
“I would  kill Sugreeva   in a second,
If   In Sugreeva’s mind    there is desire,
To go I n the same path   as his brother,
Then that would be realized”
Go and tell this to Sugreeva,
Hearing what was told , the son of Bali,
 With great fear  accumulating in his mind,
Went and saluted Sugreeva    and told.

“Kopena Lakshmanan  vannithaa  nilkkunnu,
Gopuradwatri  purathu bhagathu , ini,
Kaapeya  bhavam  kalanju  vandhikka chennu,
AApathu allaykil   undai varum drudam.”
Santhrasthanaya Sugreevan athu kettu,
Manthri pravaranaam    Maruthi thannodu,
Chinthichu chollinnan Angadhanodu ,
Koodanthike  chennu vandhikka   Soumithriye  ,
Santhwanam   cheythu kooti kondu  poriga,
SAnthanayoru   Sumithra thanayane.”

“A very angry   Lakshmana has   come  and,
Standing  near the city gate , outside the city,
Now leave out your monkey nature  ,
And go and salute  him , otherwise ,
Great  danger   would definitely come.”
The  fear stuck Sugreeva ,hearing that told,
After   great thought   to Hanuman,
Who was his chief minister  and Angada,
“You both go together  and satisfy ,
Lakshmana  and bring  here ,
The  peaceful Lakshmana.”

Maruthiye  paranjevam ayachadha,
Tharayodarkathmajan  parnjeedinaan,
“Tharadhipaanane,  Pokanam aasu nee,
Thare  , Manohare   , Lakshmanan thannde ,
Charathu chennu   kopathe samippikka,
 Sarasya sara   vakhyangalal    , pinne nee,
Kooti kondingu   ponnu  yenneyum   vegena,
Katti  kalusha bhavatheyum theerkkanam.

After sending   Hanuman,
The son of the sun God   told  Thara,
“ Oh moon faced one  , you have to go urgently,
Oh Thara , Oh pretty one , go near   ,
Lakshmana    and reduce   his anger ,
Using intelligent   and  sweet  words ,
And after wards , quickly bring him here,
And showing me and also reduce his foul mood.

Itham Arkathmajan   Vakkukal kettaval,
Madhya kakshyaam pravesichu   nineedinaal,
Thara  thanayanum Maruthiyum  koodi,
Sri Rama  sodaran  thanne vananginaar,
Bhakthyaa kusala prasnangalum   cheythu ,
Soumithriyodu   Anjana Nandanan chonnan.

As soon she  heard these words   from  son of Sun god,
She entered   the intermediate   chamber  and stood there,
The son of Thara    and  Hanuman together,
Went and saluted   the brother of Rama,
After  enquiring about his welfare   with devotion,
Hanuman told   the son of Sumithra as  follows.

“Yenthu purathu  bhage ninnaruluvaan,
Anthapurathilaammarezhnnellam,
Raja dharangaleyum   Nagarabhayum,
Rajavu Sugreevaneyum   kanivodu,
Kandu   vanangiyaal   sadhyamellam drutham”,
Itham paranju  kaiyum pidichasu  ,
Soumithriyodum  mandam mandam nadannithu ,
Yoodhapanmaar  maruvidum  mani maya,
Soudhangalum  puri shibhayum kandu kandu,
Anandam ulkkondu  Madhya kakshyaam chennu  ,
 Manichu ninna nerathu   Kanai vannu,
Tharesa  thulya  mukjhiyaya  manini,
Tharaa Jagan mohini Sundari,
Lakjshmi samanamai   nilkunna thanneram,
Lakshmann thanne vanangi  vineethayai  ,
Mandasmitham   poondu  chonnal aho , “thava,
Mandiramathu ithennu arinjeelayo?”

“Why are  you standing out side ,
Please   come inside the  private chambers  and see,
Wives of kings and splendour of the town,
And   if  you see Sugreeva   and salute him
And talk to him with tenderness  everything will be achieved  soon.”
Saying this  holding Lakshmana’s  hands  , slowly  ,
And slowly  they  walked in to the city,
Seeing the gem studded  palaces  of the nobles ,
And after  seeing the splendour of the town,
Happily they entered  the intermediate chamber ,
And there  the lady who has a face like the moon,
Thara, beauty of the world , pretty one ,
Was standing equal to goddess Lakshmi,
And she humbly saluted Lakshmana,
And with a pleasing smile told him,
“Did  you not know that  this is your home?

“Bhakthanai , yethrayum   uthamanai  thava,
Bruthyanayoru  Kapeendranodingane ,
Kopamundaayaal   avanenthoru gathi?
Chapalyum yerum  ijjatikalkku orkkenam,
Markata veeran   bahu kalam undallo,
Dukham anubhavicheedunnu   dheenanai,
Ikkalamasu   bhaval krupayaa,
Parirakshithanaakayaal   soukhyam kalarnnavan,
Vanaan athum  vipareetham akkedaika ,
Venam Dhaya nidhe  , Bhaktha Parayana.”

Suppose you get  angry at  the king of monkeys.
Who is   your devotee as well as servant,
What  refuge   is there   for him?
Please remember  these  groups are fickle by nature,
And this monkey hero for a very long time,
Was suffering only sorrow  being pitiable.
And  due to your grace  , for the present time,
Since he is being protected , he is living,
Mixing it with pleasure and please do not make  it negative,
Oh treasure of mercy , Oh saviour  of devotees.

Nana  digantharam   thorum  maruvunna ,
Vanaranmare varuthuvanai avan,
Pathu sahasram   dhoothanmare  vittithu,
Pathu dikkinnum  kapi  kula proudarum,
Vannu niranjathu   kankivide  punar,
Onninnum  dandam   miniyilla nirnayam,
Nakthanchara  kulam okke odukkuvaan,
Saktharathre   kapi sathamanmarellam,
Puthra , kalathra  mithranvithanakiya,
Bruthyanaam  Sugreevane  kandavanumai  ,
Sri Rama deva padambujam   vandhichu  ,
Karyavum aasu  sadhikkam arinjaalum.


He had   sent ten thousand messengers to the ten directions,
To get   Monkeys living   in  places in various directions,
And you can see  the monkey nobles  ,
From all the directions  have come  and assembled here,
And so now   there is  definitely no problems,
All these monkey lords are     sufficiently   strong,
To control different   clans of Rakshasas,
Having seen your servant   Sugreeva   along with,
His sons, wives   and friends and,
Having saluted   the lotus like feet of Rama,
Please understand that  we would be able to do our work.

THara vachanam yevam kettu Lakshmanan  ,
Paarathe   chennu Sugreevaneyum kandu ,
Sathrapam    vithrasthanaya  sugreevanum,
Mathanai  vihwalithekshanaanaam  kapi,
Sathamane kandu   kopena  Lakshmanan,
Mithrathmajanodu chiollinaan, “Nee Raghu,
SAthaman   thanne  marannthengine?”

Though he  heard the words of Thara ,
Lakshmana  also went and saw Sugreeva ,
And he  was ashamed  and afraid ,
Became emotional  and  was with a  red eyes  full of fear,
And seeing  that monkey lord   , Lakshmana    with ,
Anger asked the  son of Sun God ,
“How did you forget  about  the great one of Raghu clan?”

Vruthrari  puthrane konna   saram,
AArya puthran   kara sthitham yennarige nee ,
Agraja margam   gamikkayil aagraham,
Sugreevanundennu   Nadhan arul cheythu,”
Itharam Soumithri  chonnathu kettu  ,
Athinnutharam  marutha puthranum chollinaan.

Remember that  the arrow that killed  son of Devendra
Is still in the possession   of that  gentleman,
And the Lord told  , it looks like that ,
Sugreeva also wants to go in the same path  as his brother.”
Hearing these  words   of the son of Sumithra ,
As an answer   the  son of wind god told.

“ITham arul cheyvathinnenthu karanam,
BHakthanetham  purushothamangal kapi-
SAthamam orkkil , Sumithrathmajanilum,
 SAthyavum langhikkukayilla   kapeeswaran,
Rama karyartham  unarnnirikunnithu  ,
Thamasamenniye  Vanara  Pungavan,
Vismruthanai irunnedugayillethum,
Vismaya mammaru kandeelayo  bhavan,
Vegena  nana   digantharathingal,
Ninnu   agathanmaaraya  vanara veerare,
Sri Rama  karayam   aseshena sadhikkum  ,
Aamayamenniye vanara  Nayakan.”

“What is the reason for telling like this,
The monkey chief  is a great devotee of the great Purusha,
And when we   think as much as  the son of Sumithra,
And the god of monkeys will not break promises,
And he is awake   to the  needs   of Rama.
Without any delay   and  he  definitely  has not forgotten,
And Sir did not see   during the wonderful journey .
The  valorous monkeys   who   have come speedily ,
From  different   directions which are far away,
Our monkey chief , would without any trouble,
Achieve  the   work needed by Rama.”

Maruthi chonnathu  kettu Soumithriyum,
AArooda  lajjanai  nilkkum dasanthare,
Sugreevan   Arghya  padhyadhyena  Pooja,
Cheythu  , agra bhage  veenu veendum vananginaan.

During the time when Lakshmana was standing with increasing shame,
Hearing    the words  of Maruthi  Sugreeva  offered  ,
Water to drink and wash  and also offered worship,
To Lakshmana and saluted him by falling at   his feet.

Sri Rama Dasoham ha hantha, Raghava ,
Karunya lesena rakshithan adhya  jnan,
Loka thrayathe   kshanardha  mathram kondu  ,
Ragha van thanne jayikkumallo balal,
SEvarthamorkkil sahaya  mathram jnangal ,
Yevarum  thanniyogathe  vahikkunnu.

I am   the slave  of Rama and   I have
Been protected   by a little of Rama’s mercy,
And I know   that  Rama  within half a second,
Can win over   all the three   worlds,
And   the service   that we   do to him,
Is  only obeying   his commands .

Arkathmajan mozhi   kettu  Soumithriyum,
Ul kombu  azhinju avanodu cholledinaan,
“Dukhena   jnan parushangal  paranjathum,
Okke  kshamikka  Maha bhaganallo   nee,
NIngal  pranayama adhikam undakayaal,
SAngadam   kondu paramjithu naanedo ,
Vaikathe  poga vanathinnu  namini,
Raghavan  thanne vasikknnathu medaa?

Hearing the words of son of Sun God  ,
Opening  his heart  told,
“Since you are   very great , please pardon,
The bad   words told by me when sad,
I told  these  out of great sorrow,
 Because   I  like   you   a lot,
Without delay  , let us  go to the forest ,
Because   Sri Rama is there  alone.

Sugreeva  in front of Rama,

Angane thanne  purappedukengil ,

“Suppose we have   to start  , we will not wait “
Said Sugreeva  and got in to  the chariot,
Along with Lakshmana , and along with ,
Hanuman, Neela  , Angadha  and other  monkey chiefs,
And  also  along with  the army of monkeys,
With white fans , Chowrie   and  other decorative items,
Similar  looking like  Devendra’s army of devas ,
The monkey  chief   started  to see Rama with joy.”

Rama who was  living in a cave on a stone bench,
With a disturbed mind , wearing  cloths of wooden bark,
Black in colour ,  with crown made  of tufted hair , human in nature,
With broad   eyes travelling hither  and thither,
Peaceful  , With  Lotus  like face carrying a pretty  smile,
Suffering from parting of his pretty wife ,
Who is a dear one served by animals   and birds,
And  who has controlled  his senses,
Was seen from a distance  by the monkey chief,
And he got down from the chariot ,
Along with the   valorous  Lakshmana.

Sri Rama  padara  vindhanthike  Veenu,

Athithyamayulla  poojayum cheythalavai,
Adhithya  puthranum pretthi poondan thulom.

He saluted  along with joy and devotion  ,
By falling at  the lotus feet of Rama,
And  that God Rama  along with mercy,
Embraced the monkey hero and  enquired,
“Are   you fine ,Sir”,  and with  a feeling of unity,
Caught   and made  him sit and also,
Did the worship that  was due to a guest,
And son of Sun God was pleased with it.

The work of enquiry of Sita’s whereabouts.

Sugreeva    who  was ruled  by  great  devotion
At that  time informed   the lover of devotion,
“Please  with  interest   see    the ,
Members   of monkey clan who are here,
.All those   whom you see  are valorous monkeys,
 Who are  prepared  to work under  your feet.
They are  of various clans living in various  mountains,
They are   those living  near various rivers , islands and mountains,
And all of them are  having bodies similar  to mountains,
Oh king , all of them can assume any form they like,
They are  capable  of destroying the  bad valour,
Of  all the very proud   Rakshasas,
And since they are all born from devas ,
They would now suppress  the enemies of devas.

There   are  some here  who are as strong as an elephant,
There are some who are as strong as ten elephants,
Some of them are  very greatly valorous,
Please know that  some of them are equal to lions,
Some of them  are like  stones of mountains,
Some of them have  a golden coloured body ,
Some of them have blood red colour eyes,
Some of them have very long tails ,
Some of them are of the colour of pure crystal,

Sugreeva vakhyam idham kettu Raghavan,
Sugrrevane pidichu aalinganam  Cheythu,
SAnthosha  poornasru  nethrambujathodum,
Anthargatham arul cheythithu sadaram,
“Mal karya gouravam ningale  nirnayam,
Ulkambilorthu  karthavyam  kurushwa nee,
Janaki marganartham  niyogikaa nee,
Vanara veerare  nana disi sakhe,”

After hearing these   words of Sugreeva,
Rama embraced Sugreeva and with,
Lotus Eyes   full  of tears   of joy  told as follows,
“The importance   of my   work rests  on you,
Please think    and do take up the following action,
Please depute   for searching Sita ,
The monkey warriors in all  directions.”

Sri Rama vakyamrutham kettu  Vanara,
Veeranaychithu nalu dikkingalum,
“Noorayiram  kapi varanmaar  pokanam,
Oro disi pada nayakanmaarodum,
Pinne  Viseshchu Dakshina dikkinnu,

Angadan, Jambhavan , Maindan, Vividhanum,
THungan nalanum Sarabhan  sushenanum,
Vathathmajan  Sri Hanumanumai chennu,
Badha ozhinjudan kandu vannedanam.”

Hearing the nectar  like words of Rama,
He sent  Monkey warriors to all four sides,
“Let hundred thousand  monkey warriors,
Go in each direction along with  commanders,
And specially   to the southern direction ,
Many very  top people   should go,
Angadha, Jambhavan,  Mainda  , Vividha  ,
THunga  , Nala  , SArabha  , Sushena,
And Hanuman the son of   wind God,
And as soon as they do the job  ,
They should   all  come back.”

“Adbutha gathriye  neele thiranjingu ,
Muppathu  nalinakathu  vannedanam,
Ulpala pathrakshi  thanneyum kanathe  ,
Muppathu naal kazhinjingu varunnavan,
Prananthikam  dandam aasu  bhujikkanam,
Yenanga shekaran  thannane nirnauam.”

The lady with a wonderful form should be searched,
Within thirty days and they all should return back,
He who comes   after  thirty days  ,
Without seeing the  Lady with eyes like lotus leaf,
Would suffer   the death penalty ,
And this is an oath taken on Lord Shiva.

Nalu koottathodu  mitham  niyogichu ,
Kalame  poyalum  yennyachedinaan,
Raghavan thanne  thozhthu arige chennu,
Bhagawathothamanum iruneedinaan,
Itham kapikal  purapetta   nerathu  ,
Bhakthyaa thozhuthithu Vayu thanayanum,
Appol l avane  vere vilichadarol,
Adbutha vikramn  thanum arul cheythu .

Thus  after entrusting  the work with four groups,
He  exhorted  them to go early ,
And saluted Raghava  and that great devotee ,
Sugreeva went   and sat near  him,
And at this time  when the monkeys were starting,
The son of wind God   saluted  Rama with devotion,
And at that time  That  wonderful hero Rama,
Called him separately  and told him.

“Manase  viswasam undavathinnu nee ,
Janaki kayil  kodutheedu ithu sakhe,
Rama namangithamam anguleeyakam,
Bhaminikkullil  vikalpam kalavaanai,
Yennude  karyathinorkkil  pramanam nee,
YEnniye  matharum illennu nirnayam.”

“For developing confidence   to her mind,
Oh friend give this   to Janaki and gave,
The ring  in which name of Rama is written.
For removing suspicion in her mind.
As far   as my job is  concerned ,
You are most important ,
And except you no one is there.”

Pinne adayala  vakkum arul cheythu  ,
Mannavan  , poyaalum yennayacheedinaan,
Lakshmi Bhagawathiyakiya  Sithayaam,
Pushkara  pathrakshiye kondu poyoru,

Pushkara sambhava puthranum , neelanum,

Markata  senapathikalumai   drutham,

Then the king told words for recognition also,
And told them  , please  go and  he bid them farewell,
The monkey collection left towards   the south,
Where    the great Rakshasa     who took  away,
Sita  who is the real   Goddess  Lakshmi,
Who had eyes like leaf of a lotus ,lived,
And  the son  of the son of enemy of Vruthra,
The son of Brahma, Neela,  and the disciple ,
Of the friend of one born out of lotus,
And the other  monkey commanders,
Speedily   searched   and searched ,
Over  different mountains, towns and villages,
And in forest countries     and  towns,
And while   they  were walking in this search,
Hanuman    and   other monkey  chiefs,
Entered the forests  of Vindhya mountains,
They saw a very cruel Rakshasa   hero,
Who was killing and eating  wild animals,
And they speedily approached him,
And thinking that   it is  the ten headed Ravana,
The great monkeys  killed that bad one , using.
Very severe  hits by the fist, and understanding,
In their mind that it is not Ravana , they speedily  went further.


The way  of Swayam Prabha.

Andhakaraunyamasu  pukkedinaar,
Antharaa dahavum   vardhichethavum,
Shuska  kandoshta  thalu pradesathodum,
Markata veerar   unangi varandoru,
Jihwayodum  nadakkunna nearthu,
Gahwaram  Thatha  kannayi  vidhi vasaal,

They entered then a very dark dense forest,
And when their   thirst increased,
And with their   dry neck,  throat and little toungue ,
While those  monkey heroes  were  walking,
With a dry toungue   by the  turn of fate ,
There   they saw    a cave .

Vallee  thruna guna channamayathil,
Illayalli  jalamennorthu  nilkkumbol,
Aardhra paksha  Krouncha  hamasadhi   pakshikal,
Oordhwa dese parannar, athil ninnudan,
Paksngalil   ninnu  veenu  jalakanam,
Markatanmaar   athu kandu  kalpichaar,

In that place covered by climbers and grass,
When they were  all standing  ,
Thinking  that  there  would not be any water
Some   swans and Krouncha birds with ,
Wet feathers   flew out of that  place,
And  out of their feathers  few drops,
Of water   fell on the monkeys and they told.

“Nalla  jalam athil undennu  nirnayam,
Yellavarum   nam ithil irangeduga”,
Yennu paranjoru  nearthu , Maruthi,
Munnil iranginaan , mathullavarkalum,
Pinnale  thannil irangi nadakkumbol,’
Kannu kananjithiruttu kondanneram,
Anyonya mothu kaiyum  pidichu   aakulaal,
Khinnaathayodum nadannu  nadannu poi,
Chennar atheeva  dhooram thathra  kandithu,
Munnil aammarathi dhanya  desa sthalam.

“It is definite that good water  is there in it,
Let all of us get in to it.”
And when all of them told like this ,
Hanuman go in to it  first  and other ones,
Got  in to it behind him  and when they were walking,
Since there  was so much darkness that they were not able to see,
They  all  walked together  holding hands ,
And with difficulty when they were walking,
And after they travelled a long distance ,
They saw in front of them a blessed place.

Swarnamayam  Manomohanam  Kanmavar,
Kanninumetham aananda karam   param,
Vapikalundumani maya variyaal,
Apoornakalaya  atheeva  visadamai,
Pakwa phalangalaal  namarangalayulla,
Vrukshangal undu  kalpa druma thulyamai,
Peeyusha   samya  Madhu drona samyutha,
Peya  bhakshyanna  sahithangalayulla ,
Vasthyangalundu pala tharam thathraiva ,
Vasthra rathnadhi paribhooshithangalai.

Golden, attractive to the mind, divinely joyful,
To the eyes  of those   who see  them,
There were   wells , gem studded lakes,
Which are   full of very sweet water,
Trees similar  to the wish giving tree of devas,
Which are bent due to the weight  of ripened fruits,
Drinks  which are like nectar  along with honey,
Along    with various tasty food  articles,
And there  , many palaces also were  there,
Which were  decorated with cloth and gems.

Maya mohanamaya  divya sthalam,
Manusha varjitham , deva gehopamam,
Thathra gehe  Mani kanchana vishatare,
Chithrakruthi poondu, kandar oruthiye,
Yogam darichu , jada valkalam poondu,
Yogini  nischala dhyana nirathayai ,
Pavaka  Jwala samabha  kalarnnu athi,
Pavanayaya  Maha bhagaye kandu.

That divine place  was  magical and pretty,
Bereft of any humans , similar to residence of devas,
And in that home , on  a golden gem studded seat,
They saw a lady   who was  wonderful,
Who was performing Yoga , dressed  in bark and with  a tufted hair,
And that  practitioner of Yoga  was immobile and busy in meditation,
And that  holy  very pure  great lady,
Was having the dazzle of  a pure fire .

Thalkshane santhosha poorna manassodu,
Bhakthiyum  bheethiyum  poondu vananginaar,
SAkha mrugange kandu modham poondu,
Yogini  thanum avarodu chollinaal,
“Ningal   aarukuthennu parayanam,
Ingu vanneduvaan   moolavum chollanam,
Yengane  margam rinjavaru yennathum,
Yengine pokunnathennum parayanam.

Immediately   with a mind full of joy,
Along with devotion and fear they  saluted her,
That yogini seeing animals that live on a tree,
Became joyous  and   told them,
“Please tell me who you are?
Please tell me why you have come here?
How did you find out the way to this place?
And also tell me how you  will go from here?’’

Yeniva kettoru  Vayu thanayanum,
Nannai vanangi vineethanai chollinaan,
“Vruthantham okkave   kettalum yengilo,
Sathyamozhinju   parayumarill jnan,
Uthara  kosalathingal  Ayodhya yennu,
Uthamamaytundoru  puri bhoothale,
Thathraiva   vanu Dasarathanaam nrupan,
Puthrarum undai    chamanjithu nalu per,

Modena   vazhunna kalam oru dinam,
Dushtanayulla   Dasasya nisacharan ,
Kattu kondasu  poyeedinaan pathniye.

Hearing that  , the  son of wind god,
Saluted her nicely and told with humility,
“ Please  hear  the entire   story,
And I would tell truth   and only truth,
In the earth   there  is a city called  Ayodhya,
IN the Uthara  Kosala region  which is very good.
There lived a  king called  Dasaratha,
And he had   four sons  ,
Of them the eldest   is Rama ,
Who is equal to Lord Narayana himself,
And as per the orders of their father ,
He came to live In the forest   along ,
With his   brother   and his wife  Sita,
Who is the daughter of Janaka ,
And there  when they were living in a lonely place ,
The   evil minded   Rakshasa  called  Ten headed one,
Stole and went away with  his wife.

Ramanum  Lakshmanakum anujanam
Bhamini thanne thiranju  nadakkumbol,
Arkathmajanaya  Sugreevane kandu,
Sakhyavum cheythithu   thammil anyonyamai,
Yennathinnu   agrajanakiya   baliye,
Konnu , Sugrevannu rajyavum naliginaan,
Sri Ramannu athin prathyupakaramai ,
Aaranju   Sitaye kandu varigayennu ,
Vanara nayakanagiya   Sugreevanum,
Vanaranmaare   ayachithella idavum,
Dakshina   dikkil  anweshippan ,  oru,

DEviye  kanayathum  bhagyamethrayum,
AArennathum   jnangal yethum arinjeela,
Nere yarul  cheyka venam athum shubhe.

Rama as  well his younger brother Lakshmana,
Met   Sugreeva the   son of Sun God,
When they were wandering  in search of Rama’s wife,
And they signed a treaty   for each other’s benefit.
And for that   purpose  Rama killed  his elder brother,
Bali   and also gave the  kingdom to Sugreeva.
And   as  a return help  to Rama, the monkey chief Sugreeva,
Has  sent  monkeys in all   directions,
To search and find   out Sita,
To enquire in the southern direction,
Hundred thousand  monkeys were sent.
We who became thirsty  , searching for water ,
Without knowing   entered this   cave,
As per the will of  the great god.
To be able to see you lady is our great luck,
And we do not know    who you are,
And oh holy one , please tell us staraight about it.

Yogini thanum  athu kettu  avarodu,
Vegena  mandasmitham  poondu chollinaal,
“Pakwa   phala moola jalangal okkave  ,
Bhakshichu  amruthapanam cheythu  trupatharai,
Budhi thelinju varuvin, yennal mama,
Vruthantham   aadhiye cholli tharuvan jnan.”
Yennathu kettavar   moola phalangalum ,
Nannai bhujichu  madhupanavum cheythu  ,
Chitham thelinju devi sameepam pukku,
Badhanjali  poondu ninnar anantharam,
Charu smitha  poorvam  anjasaa yogini,
Maruthiyodyu paranju thudanginaal.

Hearing that  the Yogini told them,
Speedily     with a great   smile,
“Eat the ripened fruits   and roots ,
Get satisfied by  drinking the nectar  ,
And come   with a clear  head to me,
And then I will  tell you about my history.”
And hearing that   they   ate well,
The fruits and roots   and drank   honey  ,
And with a clear mind , they went near the lady,
And stood   there   saluting   her
And that   Yogini with   a pretty smile,
Started   telling her story to Hanuman.

“Viswa  vimohana  roopiniyakiya  ,
Viswakarmathmajaa Hemaa Manohari,
Nrutha bhedham   kondu  santhushtanakkinaal,
Mugdendu Shekaran thanne, athu moolam,
Divya puramidham naliginan Easwaran,
Divya samvathsaraaanaam   ayuthayutham,
Uthsavam poondu  vasichaliha puraa ,
Thath sakhi jnan iha naamnaa Swayamprabha,
Santhatham moksham apekshichipporu ,
Gandarwa puthri   sadaa Vishunu thathparaa.”

Hema the daughter of Viswa Karma   was ,
A prettiest of the universe  by her   dance,
Pleased Lord Shiva  and due to that  that god,
Gave her this divine   city and she ,
Lived like  a celebration here   for ten crore  divine years,
And I am her friend   called  Swayam Prabha,
And I am  the daughter  of a Gandarwa,
A devotee of Vishnu , who always sought  for salvation.

Brahma lokam pravesichithu  Hemayum,
Nirmala gathriyam  yennodu chollinaal,
Santhatham nee   thapassum cheythirikkedo,
Janthukkal athra  varugayum illallo,
Tretha yuge  Vishnu Narayanan  bhuvi,
Jathanayidum   Dasaratha  puthranai,
Bhoobhara nasartham   vipina sthale ,
BHoopathi  sancharichidum dasanthare ,
Sri Rama  pathniye   kattu koolum  , athi,
Krooranayidum  Dasanan akkalam.

After   some time Hema entered  the world of Brahma,
And she told me who was  having a  pure body,
You keep always doing meditation here ,
For not many animals   come over here.
In the Tretha  Yuga  Narayana   who is lord Vishnu,
Would be born as   the son of  Dasaratha ,
For   lessening  the burden of earth ,
And when that  king is travelling,
The wife  of Rama    would be stolen by  ,
The very cruel  Ravana  , at that time.

Janaki devi anveshanathinnai ,
Vanaranmaar   varum nin guha  mandire,
SAlkaricheedavare   preethi poondu nee ,
Markatanmaarkku   upakaravum cheythu, poi,
Sri Rama devane kandu  vananguka,
Narayana swami thanne   Raghuthaman,
Bhakthyaa  parane sthuthichaal   varum thava ,
Mukthi padam    yogi gamyam sanathanam.,

 For searching  of that  lady Janaki,
Monkeys will come   inside this cave,
You   treat them hospitably with love,
And also help those   monkeys  and then,
You go and salute  God Rama  ,
For that Lord of Raghu clan is himself  Narayana,
 And if you  pray to that divine one  with devotion,
 You would get salvation, which is primeval  and got by yogis .

AAkayyal jnan ini  Sri Rama devane ,
Vegena kanmathinnai kondu pogunnu,
Ningale nere   peru vazhi kootuvan,
Ningal yellavarum  kannadacheeduvin,
Chitham thelinjavar kannadacheedinaar,
Sathwaram  Poorva sthithadavi pukkithu,
Chithram vichithram  vichithram yennorthavar ,
Padathiyude   nadannu thudanginaar.

So now I am speedily going  to see God Rama,
And before that I have to show  you the proper way,
And so all of you please  close   your eyes,
And with a clear mind , all  of them closed their eyes,
And immediately    they all reached  to the forest ,
From  where they   had entered the cave, Wonder of wonders  ,
They thought  and started walking by the path.
