(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

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

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,

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

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,

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,

Charathu chennu kopathe samippikka,
Sarasya sara

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,

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

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,
Chapalyum yerum ijjatikalkku orkkenam,

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,
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

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,

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

Ragha van thanne jayikkumallo balal,
SEvarthamorkkil sahaya mathram jnangal ,

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 .

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.

“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.

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.

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.

“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,

THungan nalanum Sarabhan sushenanum,

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.

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 ,

“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.”

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,

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.

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.
