Sakala
suka kula vimala thilakitha kalebhara ,
Sarasya peeyusha sara sarvaswame ,
Kadhaya mama kadhaya mama kadakal athi sadaram,
Kakulstha leelakal kettal mathivaraa.
Oh parrot who is pure and best among all parrot clans,
The complete nectar of the best of worlds ,
Please tell me , please tell me , my story which is pretty,
For however much we hear the sports of Rama ,
It would never seem to be sufficient.
Kili makalodu athi sarasamithi Raghu kuladhipan,
Keerthi kettiduvaan chodichanantharam,
Kala mozhiyum, azhakinodu thozhthu cholledinaal,
Karunya murthiye chinthichu manase,
Hima shikhari suthayodu chirichu Gangadaran,
Yengilo kettu kolga yennarul cheythu.
After asking the parrot to tell about ,
The very interesting fame of the lord of Raghu clan,
And that one , with pretty lisping toungue saluted and told,
To Parvathi thinking of that epitome of mercy,
Lord Shiva smiled and told , If so please hear.”
5.1 Samudra Langanam
Crossing of ocean
Lavana jala nidhisathaka yojana visthrutham,
Langichu lankayil chelluvaan Maruthi,
Manuja parivruda charana nalini yugalam mudhaa,
Manase chinthichurappichu nischalam,
Kapi vararoda amitha bala sahitham mura cheythithu,
“Kandu kolvin ningal yengil yellavarum.
Hanuman prepared to go to Lanka by crossing
The treasure of salt water which was hundred yojanas * broad,
Meditated with a very firm mind,
On the lotus like feet of the chief of man,
And told the chief of monkeys with great power ,
“ If it is so, All of you please see,”
*approximately about 2 miles
Mama janaka sadrusan aham athi Chapala mambare ,
Maanena pokunnitha asaresaalaye,
Aja thanaya thanaya sara sama madhika saahasaal,
Adyaiva pasyami Rama pathneem aham,
Akhila jagadadhipanodu viravil ariyippan,
Yingu adhya krutharthanayen krutharthosmyaham,
Pranatha jana bahu jana marana haranamakam,
Prana prayana kale niroopippavan,
Jani marana jala nidhiye viravodu kadakkum,
Ajjanmanaa kim punasthasya dhoothosmyaham.
In the sky I would be extremely fast like my father,
And I am going with dignity to the house of the Rakshasa ,
With the energy similar to the arrow of son of the son of Aja*,
And there I would see the wife of Rama,
And I will tell that speedily to the lord of all universe,
And today I am satisfied , I am satisfied,
I salute him whose name removes many births and deaths ,
And those who think of him at the time of death,
Would easily cross the ocean of births and deaths ,
And as I am his emissary and so crossing this will not be a problem.
*Dasaratha is son of Aja
“THadanu mama hrudhi sapadhi Raghu pathiranaaratham,
Thasya aaguleeyavum undu sirasi may,
Kimapi nahi bhayamudhadhi sapadhi tharithum ningal,
Keesa pravarare, khediyaikethume ,”
Ithi pavana thanayan ura cheythu valum nijam,
Yethumuyarthi parathi karangalum ,
Athi vipula gala thalavum aarjavamakki ,
Ninnakunchithaamgriyay oordhwa nayananai,
Dasa vadana puriyil nija hrudayavum urappichu ,
Dakshina dikum aalokya chaadinaan.
Also in my heart , always the lord of Raghu clan is there,
And in my head his ring is there ,
And so why should there be fear for crossing this sea speedily,
Oh chief monkeys , do not grieve.”
After telling like this the son of wind god ,
Lifted his tail to the top and spread his hands ,
And making his broad neck straight,
Slightly bent his feet , with eyes seeing upward,
And concentrating his mind on the town of Ravana,
And aiming at the southern direction jumped.
5.2 Marga Vignam
Obstacle of the path.
Pathaga pathirivapavana suthan adhavihayasaa,
Bhanu bimbaa bhayya pokum dasanthare ,
Amara samudhaya manila thanaya bala vegangal,
AAlokya chonnar pareekshanartham thadhaa,
Surasayodu pavana sutha sukha gathi mudakkuvaan,
Thoornam nadannithu naga jananiyum.
When the son of wind God was flying like Garuda,
Along with the great luster similar to the Sun God,
The devas wanting to test the strength and speed of the son of wind God,
Unusually told Surasa to create an obstacle in his path,
And speedily that mother of Nagas(serpents) reached there.
Thwaritha manilajamathi balangal arinjathi ,
Sookshma drusyaa varigennathu kettaval,
Gaganapathi pavana sutha java gathi mudakkuvaan,
Garvena chennu thal sannidhou mevinaal,
Kadina tharamalari yaval avanodu ura cheythu,
“Kandeelayo bhavan yenne kapi vara ,
Bhaya rahitham ithu vazhinadakkunnavarkale,
BHakshippathinnu maam kalpichathu easwaran,
Vidhi vhitham masanamihanoonamdhya thwayaa ,
Veeraa , visappu yennikku yetham undennorkka nee,
Mama vadana kuharamathil viravinodu puka nee ,
Mathonnumorthu kaalam kalyaikedaa.”
Knowing about the great strength of Hanuman ,
And hearing that he is coming with clear vision,
For creating a blockade to the son of wind god in the sky,
She went and proudly stood before him,
And shouting in a very hard way , she told him,
“Oh great monkey , did you not see me,
God has told me to eat those ,
Who travel this way without fear,
And due to your fate , you are going to be my food today,
Oh valorous one, remember that I am having a great hunger ,
And so please enter my mouth speedily,
And do not waste time thinking of other things.
Sarasa mithi rabhasatharam adanu surasa giram,
SAhasaal kettu anilathmajan chollinaan,
“Aham akhila jagadadipan amara guru sasanaal,
AAsu Sitanweshanathinnu pokunnu,
Avale nisachara puriyil viravinodu chennu,
Kandu adhya vaa swo vaa varunnathumundu jnan,
Janaka nara pathi duhithyacharitham akhilam drutham,
Chennu raghupathiyodu ariyichu jnan,
Thava vadana kuharamathilapagatha bhayakulam,
Thathparyamutkondu vannu pukkeduvan,
Anyathamaka thaliril orupozhuthum mariveelaha ,
Masu margam dehi , devi, namosthuthe.
Hearing these saucy , strong words which,
Fell from the mouth of Surasa, the son of wind god told,
“I for carrying the order of the lord of all worlds,
Am going speedily in search of Sita.
I have to go fast and see her in the town of Rakshasa,
And I would be returning back today or tomorrow from there,
After seeing her and after telling the story of the daughter of Janaka,
To the Lord of the Raghu clan , I would willingly come,
And enter the very fearful mouth of yours,
And since I do not tell a lie at any time,
Speedily give me the way, Oh lady , salutations.
Thadanu kapi kula varanodu avalum ura cheythu,
“DAhavum kshuthum porukkaruthr thume,”
“Manasai thava sudrudam ithi yadhi sapadhi saadaram,
Vaa pilarnidennu “ Maruthi collinaan
Athi vipulamudalum oru yojanaayamai,
Yasu uga nandanan ninnathu kandaval ,
Athil adhika thara vadana vivaramodu anakulam,
Madbutha mai anvchu yojana visthrutham.
Then she told to the great monkey,
“I am not able to tolerate my thirst and hunger ,”
“If you have made up your mind strongly,
Please open your mouth” said Hanuman,
Seeing that the son of wind god ,
Is standing with huge body of one yojana broad,
She made her mouth much bigger,
And wonderfully made it five yojana broad.’
Pavana thanayanum mathinnu jjadithi Dasa yojana,
Parimithi kalarnnu kanayoranantharam,
Nijamanasi guru kuthukamodu Surasayum thadhaa,
Ninnal yirupathu yojana Vayumai,
Mukha kuharam athi vipulam ithi karuthi , Maruthi,
Muppathu yojanavannamai mevinaan,
Alamilamitha yam amalan aruthu jaya marrkkumennu,
Anpathu yojana vaa pilarneedinaal,
Athu pozhuthu pavana suthan athi krusa sareeranai,
Angushta thulyanai ul pukku arulinaan.
The son of wind god immediately became of ,
A size of ten yojanas and afterwards,
With a great joy in her mind that Surasa,
Stood with a mouth of twenty yojanas size,
Hanuman thinking that her mouth is very big,
Stood with a size of thirty yojanas,
Thinking that this is sufficient as he is a pure one,
And victory cannot be there for both ,
She opened her mouth fifty yojanas wide,
And at that time the son of wind god ,
Became to a size of a thumb entered her mouth .
Thadanu laghu tharam avanum uru thara thapo balaal,
Thathra purathu purappettu chollinaan,
“Srunu, Sumukhi,Sura sukha pare, Surase , Shubhe,
Shudhe , Bhujanga mathave, namosthu they ,
SAranamiha charanasarasija yugalameva they,
SAnthe , Saranye , Namasthe , Namosthuthe.
Then he who was light due to the strength of his penance ,
Started to go outside and told her ,
“Hear , pleasant faced one, One who is interested in happiness to devas,
Hey Surasa, Hey mother of snakes, my salutation to you,
I surrender to the lotus like feet of yours,
Oh peaceful one, One who gives help , Salutations, salutations to you.
Plavaga parivruda vachananisa mana dasanthare ,
Perthum chirichu paranju Surasayum,
“Variga , thava jayam athi sukhena poi chennu nee ,
Valla bha vruthantha mullavannam mudhaa ,
Raghupathiyodau akhilam ariyikka thal kopena,
Rakshoganatheyum yoke yodukkanam,
Arivathinnu thava balaviveka vegadhikal,
Aadhitheyanmaar ayachu vanneham,”
Nija charitha makhilam avanodariyichu poi,
Nirjara lokam gamichaal Surasayum.
At the end of the words of that monkey chief,
Enjoying and laughing , that Surasa told,
“Come , you have won , go with pleasure ,
And get the true story of Sita,
And go and tell it to the chief of Raghu clan,
You have to also kill all the Rakshasas,
To understand your strength and wisdom,
I have come as sent by the devas ,
Thus telling the real story , she went ,
To the land of devas , that Surasa.
Pavana suthanadha gaganapadhi garuda thulyanai,
Paanju paaravaara meethe gamikkumbol,
Jalanidhiyum achala varanodu cholledinaan,
“Chennu nee salkarikkanam kapeendrane ,
SAgara nara pathi thanayanmaar yenne valarkkayaal,
Sagaramennuchollunithillavarum,
THadabhi jana bhavan ariga Raman thiruvadi,
Thasya karyarthamaipokunnathumivan,
Idayilorupathanamavannilla thala karanaal ,
Ichaya pongi thalarcha theerthidenam.
Then the son of wind god rushed through the sky,
Like a Garuda and when he was going above the ocean,
The sea god told the great mountain as follows,
“You should go and be hospitable to the monkey chief,
Since the son of SAgara king helped me to grow ,
I am called Sagara by all people ,
Please understand that Rama belongs to that family,
And since this one goes for doing his job,
And since he does not have any place to rest,
You should of your own accord come out and remove his tiresomeness.”
Mani kanaka mayan amalannaya Mainakavum,
Manusha vesham darichu cholledinaan,
“Hima sikhari thanayan aham ariga , Kapi veera nee,
Yenmelirunnu thalarchayum theerkkedo,
Salila nidhi sarabha samayakhalaal vannu jnan,
Sadavum dahavum theerthu poykolkedo,
Amrutha sama jalavum ati Madura Madhu pooravum,
AArdhra pakwangalum bhakshichu kolga nee.”
The very pure Mainaka studded with gold and gems,
Came in the form of a human being and told,
“Please know that I am the son of Himalayas, Oh monkey hero,
You please sit on me and get rid of your tiresomeness,
I have come here because I was sent by the ocean,
And please get rid of your tiredness and thirst and then go,
Please eat soft ripe fruits ,nectar like water ,
And very sweet honey from me.
Alamalamitharu tharuthu Rama karyarthmai,
AAsu pokum vidhou parkarathu engume,
Peruvazhiyilasana sayanangal cheykennathum,
Perthu mathonnu bhavikkayennullathum,
Anuchitham itharika Raghu kula thilaka karyangal,
Anbodu sadhichozhin ozhinju aruthonnume ,
Vigatha bhayamini viravaadinnu jnan pokunnu,
Bandhu salkaram parigrahiuhenaham.
This is sufficient, know that, when you go on a job of Rama,
On your way you should not stay in any place ,
And also sleep on the way as well take food,
Or do any other things not related to the job , as is not proper,
And do the duties of the chief of Raghu clan,
Without any fear I am going with speed ,
And I have accepted your hospitality as a friend.
Pavana suthan ivayum ura cheyhtu than kaikalaal,
Parvathaadheeswarane thalodinaan,
Punar avanuanila sama muzhari nata kondithu,
Punya janendra puram prathi sambramaal,
Thadanu jala nidhiyil athi gabheera desalaye,
Santhatham vanezhum chaya grahiniyum,
Saridhaipanu upari parichodu poikunnavan,
Than nizhal aasu pidichu nirthedinaal.
After saying this the son of wind god patted ,
That king of mountains gently,
And then he started moving similar to the wind,
Towards the city of Rakshasas with excitement,
At that time , a shadow catcher living always,
Very deep in the ocean,
Caught and stopped the shadow of him ,
Who goes far above the sky.
Athu pozhuthu , mama gathi mudakkiya thar ,
Yennithantharaa paarthu keezhpottu nokkedinaan,
Athi vipuala thara bthara bhayakaranye kandalavu,
Angripathena konneedinaan thaalkshane ,
Nizhalathu pidichu nirthi konnu thinnunna,
Neechayaam Simhikaye konnanatharam,
Dasa vadana puriyil viravodu poyeduvaan ,
Dakshina dikku nokki kuthicheedinaan.
Charamagiri sisrasi raviyum pravesichithu,
Charu Lanka gopuragre Kapeendranum.
At that time examining as to who put a stop,
To his way , Hanuman saw down,
And seeing a very big lady with fear inducing form,
He kicked and killed immediately,
That Simihika who used to catch the shadow ,
And kill and eat the beings who were killed,
And Hanuman left towards the city ,
Of the ten faced one quickly ,
And jumped towards the southern direction.
The sun entered the hill of its death,
And the chief of monkeys reached the pretty spires of Lanka.
Das vadana nagara mathi vimala vipula sthalam,
Dakshina varidhi madhye manoharam,
Bahula phala kusuma dasa yutha vitapi sankulam,
Vallee kruthavrutham paksha mruganvitham,
Mani kanaka mayam amara pura sadrusa mambudhee ,
Madhye trikootachalopari Maruthi,
Kamala makal charitham arivathinnu chennu anbodu,
Kandithu Lanka nagaram nirupamam.
The city of the ten faced one was very pure and broad,
Situated in the middle of the pretty southern ocean,
It was full of plenty of fruits, flowers and densely grown trees,
Containing several type of climbers , and great population of birds and animals,
Full of gold and gems , similar to the city of devas ,
And Hanuman went inside the city of the three hills,
Which is in the middle of the sea ,
For finding out the story of the daughter of lotus,
And saw the matchless city of Lanka.
Kanaka virachitha mathil kidangum pala tharam,
Kandu kadappan paniyennu manase ,
Paravasathayodu jadithi pala vazhi niroopichu ,
Padmanabhan thanne Dhyanichu mevinaan,
Nisi thamasi nisicharapure krusa roopanai,
Nirjara dese kadappan yennorthavan ,
Nija manasi nisichara kulariye dhyanichu ,
Nirjara vairi puram gamicheedinaan.
Seeing the wonderful golden wall and different type of moats ,
He decided that it was difficult to cross and quickly ,
Thought of various plans to cross them,
And meditating on Lord Vishnu ,
He thought that he can enter the town of Rakshasas,
At night taking a very tiny form ,
And thinking about Rama , the enemy of Rakshasa clan,
Trted to enter the town of the enemy of devas.
5.3 Lanka Lakshmi Moksham
Salvation to the Lakshmi of Lanka.
Prakruthi Chapala num adhika chapalamachalam mahal-
Prakaravum murichu aakaravum marachu,
Avani makal adimalarum akathaliril orthu kondu,
Anjananandanan anjasaa nirbhayam,
Udal kadukinodu samam , idathu kaal mumbil vachu,
Ullil kadappan thudangum dasanthare,
Kadina tharam alariyoru rajani chara veshamai ,
Kanaithasu Lanka sriyeyum thadhaa.
Without delay speedily crossing the big outer wall,
Hiding his form and meditating on the feet of daughter of earth,
Immediately that son of Anjana without any fear ,
Made his body similar to a mustard,
And keeping his left leg in front ,
Was trying to cross and at that time,
He could see the Lanka Lakshmi (guardian angel of Lanka)
With a form of a Rakshasi and shouting with big voice .
“iviide varuvathinnu parakenthu moolam Bhavan,
Yekanai chorano chollu ninvanchitham,
Asura sura mara pasu mrugadhi janthukkal,
Mathakku me vannu koodaa jnan ariyathe.”
Ithi parusha vachanam modananju THadchithu,
Yere roshens thadichu kapeendranum,
Raghu kulaja vara sachivavama mushti,
Praharena pathichu vamichathu chorayum.
Sir, Please tell me the reason for coming here,
Alone , Please tell me whether you are a thief,
Asuras, devas , men , and all type of animals,
Cannot come here without my knowledge”,
Coming with these undesirable words
She hit Hanuman and the monkey king hit back,
And due to the fist of the emissary of the one from Raghu clan,
She fell down and vomited blood.
Kapivaranodu aval yezhunethu cholledinaal,
“Kandenado thava bahu balam sakhe ,
Vidhi vihitham ithu mama puraiva dhathavu than,
Veera , paranjithennodu munnme ,
“sakala Jagadadhipathi sanathanan Madhavan,
SAkshaal Maha Vishnu moorthi Narayanan,
Kamala dala nayanan avanayil avatharikkum mul-,
Karunya moshta vimsathi paryaye.”
She stood up and told that great monkey,
“Friend I just saw your great strength,
This is due to my fate, long time ago Lord Brahma has
Oh valorous one , told me about this ,
“Lord Madhava who is the lord of all worlds , who is perennial,
Who is the real Maha Vishnu , the Narayana ,
Who has lotus like eyes will take an incarnation in the world,
In the twenty eighth section of this eon.”
Dasaratha nrupathi thanayanai mama prarthanaal,
Treta yuge darma deva raksharthamai,
Janaka nrupa varannu makalai nija mayayum,
Jaathayaam pankthi mukha vinasathinnai,

SAnnadhanai varum yekan thavanthike ,
Kalaham avanodu jjadithi thudarum alavethrayum,
Katharayai varum neeyennu nirnayam.
As a result of my prayer in treata yuga,
For protecting the dharma as well as devas,
He would be born as the son of Dasaratha,
The true goddess of illusion would be born as daughter of Janaka,
For the destruction of the ten headed one.
That lotus eyed one would come to the forest for penance ,
Along with his brother and wife and while he is living there,
The ten face one would steal the daughter of earth,
And during the time he would come with her inside the southern sea,
A treaty would be signed between Rama and son of Sun god,
And due to the orders of that Sugreeva ,
When all the monkeys are wandering and searching,
One of them would come prepared and meet you,
And there would be a fight with him soon,
And there is no doubt that you would become weak and tired.
Rana nipunanodu Bhavathi thadanavum kondu,

Laghu gathiyodu ini oridarozhiye nada kolga nee,
Lankayum ninnal jithyaithinnedo
You would get a beating from the expert in war,
And then you should give him permission,
Any day when you get a beating from monkey ,
Do retreat , “ said Lord Brahma to me,
Since he told this with mercy and without any conditions,
I was waiting at this place for a long time ,
And now go without any problem any where ,
And today Lanka has been won over by you.”
Nikhila nisichara kulapathikku maranavum,

Akhila jagadahipathi Raghuthaman pathu maam,
Asthu they swasthi thathyuthamothamsame ,
Laghu vachana Maduram ithi cholli maranjithu ,
Lankayil ninnu vangi malar mangayum.’
The death of the chief of the clan of Rakshasas,
Has very much neared , Oh servant of god,
Let there be good luck to you,
Please go and see without any problem the lady Sita,
In the private quarters of the ten headed ,
Enemy of Rama, , in the divine entertainment garden,
Which is full of trees , which are full of,
New flowers , fruits and trees ,
Below a tree called Simsapa(irumul) ,
With great sorrow , in between several Rakshasis,
The pure bodied Sita is always sitting with great pain,
You go immediately and tell her story to him,
BY crossing the sea by the way of the sky,.
Let good come to you . oh great crown of monkeys,
Telling these sweet and simple words ,
That lady of the flower disappeared from Lanka.
5.4 Sita Sandarsanam
Seeing of Sita
Udaka nidhi naduvil maruvum trikudadri mel,
Ullangethe abdhou pavanathma janmanaa,
Janaka nara pathi vara makalkkum Dasasyanum,
Chemme virachithu vama bhagam thulom,
Janaka narapathi dduhithru varanu dakshangavum,
Jathanennakil varum sukham dukhavum.
On the three mountains in the middle of the sea,
When the son of wind god crossed the sea,
To the blessed daughter of Janaka and to the ten faced one ,
The left side of their body twitched *,
And to the son in law of king Janaka the right side twitched,
Showing that to any one born , good and bad will come
*Twitching of left side is good omen for females
And bad omen for males.
Thadanu kapi kula pathi kadannithu Lankayil,
Thanathi sookshma sareeranai rathriyil,
Uditha ravi kirana ruche poondoru lankayil,
Okke thiranjaan oridamozhiyathe.
Then the chief of monkeys entered Lanka at night ,
With a body which was very small,
And in the Lanka which was decorated by rising sun,
He searched in all places without leaving any place.
Dasavadana mani nilayamayirikkum mama,
Devi yireppedam yennorthu Maruthi,
Kanaka mani nikara virachitham puriyil yengume,
Kananju Lanka vachanam ortheddinaan,
Udamayodum asura puri kanivinodu cholliyor,
Udhyana dese thiranju thudanginaan.
Thinking that Sita Devi would possibly be,
In the gem studded palace of Ravana,
Which is built by gold and gems ,
He searched in all places and not finding her there,
Remembered the merciful words of Lanka Lakshmi,
And with diligence started searching ,
In all garden places in the town.
Upavanam amrutha sama salilayutha vapiyum,
Uthunga soudhangalum gopurangalum,
SAhaja sutha sachiva bala pathigal bhavanangalum,
Souvarna sala dwaja pathakangalum,
Dasa vadana mani bhavana shobha kanum vidhou,
Digpala mandiramdikruthamai varum.
With parks , lakes with nectar like water ,
High buildings with spires,
Homes of friends, sons ministers and commanders,
With golden coloured peacock and flags ,
To look, the gem studded palace of the ten faced one ,
Appeared to be much better than palaces of guardians of directions.
Kanakamani rachitha bhavangalil yengume ,
Kananju pinneyum neele nokkum vidhou,
Kusuma chaya surabhiyodu pavanan athi goodamai,
Koode thadanju kooti kondu poyudan,
Upavanamuruthara tharu pravarangalum,
Unnathamayulla simsapa vrukshavum,
Athi nikatam akhila jagadeeswari thanneyum ,
AAsuganasu katti kodutheedinaan.
When he was not able to find her out,
In any of those mansions studded with gold and gems,
And when he was further searching everywhere,
The wind along with the aroma of flowers , secretly,
Took him along with him,
To a garden with densely grown trees,
And to one of the very highly grown Simsapa tree ,
And very near to it the Goddess of all universe ,
Was shown to him by the wind god himself.
Malina thara chikura vasanam poodu dheenayai,
Maithili than krusa gathriyai yethrayum,
Bhaya vivasa avaniyil urundum sadaa hrudhi,
Bharthavu thanne ninachu ninachalam,
Nayana jalamanavaratham ozhugi ozhugi pathi,
Namathe Rama Ramethi japikkayum,
Nisi charikal naduvil azhalodu marum easwari,
Nithya swaroopiniye kandu Maruthi,
Vitapi vara sirasi nibida chanthargathan,
Vismayam poondu maranjiruneedinaan
Wearing a very dirty hair and cloths and looking pitiable.
That Sita who was having a very thin form,
Due to great fear rolled on the earth and ,
Thinking and thinking of her husband ,
Always shedding copious tears from the eyes,
And chanting her husband’s name as “Rama, Rama”,
She was living with great fear between the Rakshasis,
And Hanuman saw that ever pretty one ,
And climbed to the top most portion of a tree ,
And hid himself behind its dense foliages.
Divasakara kulapathi Raghuthaman thannude ,
Deviyaam Sitaye kandu, Kapivaran,
Kamala makal akhila Jagadeeswari thannudal,
Kanden , krutharthasmyoham krutharthasmyoham,
Divasakara kulapathi Raghuthaman karyavum,
Dheenathayenniye SAdhichithunnu jnan.
That monkey after seeing Sita , the wife of Rama,
The best among Raghu clan and the lord of the clan of Sun God,
Thought, I have seen the body of the daughter of lotus,
And the goddess of all universe , I am blessed, I am blessed,
I have completed the job of the best among Raghu clan and
The lord of the clan of the Sun God, without any suffering to myself.
5.5 Ravanande Purappadu
The starting of Ravana.
Ithi palavum akathaliril orthu kapivaran,
Ithiri neram irikkum dasanathare ,

When that monkey chief was thinking about various things,
And after a little time has passed,
He heard certain sounds ,
From outside that place belonging to asuras,
Thinking what they are and hidden by leaves and not moving,
He continued to hide his insect like small body,
And that chief of monkeys saw with wonder ,
The coming of ten faced one who is the enemy of devas.
Asura sura nisicharavarangana vrundavum,

Nisitha thara sara sakalithanganai kevale,
Nirmalamaya bhagwat padambuje.
Along with the crowd of deva , asura and Rakshasa maidens,
Dressed in a wonderful passionate manner ,
Came the ten faced one in whose mind there was a thought,
“Oh God when will this body die,
When I would be able to see and see,
That real Mukunda who is the Lord of all universe ,
Who lives forever , One who has a good mind,
With my body with holes made of arrows ,
And reach the very pure lotus like feet of that God.”

Kala swaroopanaam easwaran than matham.
Thinking that it is time for me to get to Vaikunta ,
Which is full of blessed people and nectar like joy
And deciding that time has arrived for that,
I went and brought the daughter of lotus,
And He has not reached here wandering after being hurt by that,
So that the time for my death will arrive quickly.
The writing on my head has already fixed my time of death,
And it is not possible to think and find it out,
And even the god born of lotus also does not know it,
And it is decided by the god whose form is time.

Kulsnam puravaramnwishya nischalam.
Like this when he has kept Rama within him,
And think and think within his mind about him,
Before the chief of the monkey clan has reached there ,
That Ravana saw a dream at night ,
As per the words of Rama , during one night will come ,
One monkey who can take any form he likes ,
With mercy but with a micro form similar to an insect,
After searching the whole city ,
Tharu nikara vara sirasi vannirunnadharaal,
Thar magal thanneyum kandu Ramodantham,
Akhilam avalodu batha, paranjadayalavum,
AASu koduthudan aswasipichu pom.
He would sit with respect on a top of a tree ,
And tell the story of Rama to the daughter of earth,
And after telling the entire story , he would give her mementos,
And he would console her before going away.
Athu pozhuththil avan arivathinnu jnan chennu kandu,

Swapnam chilakku chilakalamokkanam.
At that time to make him know , I would go ,
And increase her sorrow by the arrows of my words,
And he will later tell it to the lord of Raghu clan,
And Rama would get angry and would come here immediately
And in the war I would get a pleasant death,
By the very sharp arrows of Sri Rama, definitely,
And this would be the only way as far as I know,
For getting divine salvation is the divine teaching,
And for some people dreams would come true,
By the decision made by the gods.

Yethrayum bheethanai vannithu Sithayum.
Thinking about several such things in his mind,
And deciding on a course Ravana started from there,
And hearing the sound of gem studded gold bangle , shoulder crest ,
Anklets, belt and various other ornaments,
With a very heavy heart , Sita was greatly surprised ,
And the coming of the chief of Rakshasa clan,
Made Sita extremely scared.

When she hiding her breasts by her thighs and fear stuck,
And bending low her head and with a shivering body ,
And meditating on the real form of Rama ,
Who is pure, incomparable , serene and pure,
Then that ten faced one along with passion,
Came and stood near the lady and saluted her.
Sarasya peeyusha sara sarvaswame ,
Kadhaya mama kadhaya mama kadakal athi sadaram,
Kakulstha leelakal kettal mathivaraa.
Oh parrot who is pure and best among all parrot clans,
The complete nectar of the best of worlds ,
Please tell me , please tell me , my story which is pretty,
For however much we hear the sports of Rama ,
It would never seem to be sufficient.
Kili makalodu athi sarasamithi Raghu kuladhipan,

After asking the parrot to tell about ,
The very interesting fame of the lord of Raghu clan,
And that one , with pretty lisping toungue saluted and told,
To Parvathi thinking of that epitome of mercy,
Lord Shiva smiled and told , If so please hear.”
5.1 Samudra Langanam
Crossing of ocean
Lavana jala nidhisathaka yojana visthrutham,

Manase chinthichurappichu nischalam,
Kapi vararoda amitha bala sahitham mura cheythithu,
“Kandu kolvin ningal yengil yellavarum.
Hanuman prepared to go to Lanka by crossing
The treasure of salt water which was hundred yojanas * broad,
Meditated with a very firm mind,
On the lotus like feet of the chief of man,
And told the chief of monkeys with great power ,
“ If it is so, All of you please see,”
*approximately about 2 miles
Mama janaka sadrusan aham athi Chapala mambare ,

Prana prayana kale niroopippavan,
Jani marana jala nidhiye viravodu kadakkum,
Ajjanmanaa kim punasthasya dhoothosmyaham.
In the sky I would be extremely fast like my father,
And I am going with dignity to the house of the Rakshasa ,
With the energy similar to the arrow of son of the son of Aja*,
And there I would see the wife of Rama,
And I will tell that speedily to the lord of all universe,
And today I am satisfied , I am satisfied,
I salute him whose name removes many births and deaths ,
And those who think of him at the time of death,
Would easily cross the ocean of births and deaths ,
And as I am his emissary and so crossing this will not be a problem.
*Dasaratha is son of Aja
“THadanu mama hrudhi sapadhi Raghu pathiranaaratham,
Thasya aaguleeyavum undu sirasi may,
Kimapi nahi bhayamudhadhi sapadhi tharithum ningal,

Also in my heart , always the lord of Raghu clan is there,
And in my head his ring is there ,
And so why should there be fear for crossing this sea speedily,
Oh chief monkeys , do not grieve.”
After telling like this the son of wind god ,
Lifted his tail to the top and spread his hands ,
And making his broad neck straight,
Slightly bent his feet , with eyes seeing upward,
And concentrating his mind on the town of Ravana,
And aiming at the southern direction jumped.
5.2 Marga Vignam
Obstacle of the path.

AAlokya chonnar pareekshanartham thadhaa,
Surasayodu pavana sutha sukha gathi mudakkuvaan,
Thoornam nadannithu naga jananiyum.
When the son of wind God was flying like Garuda,
Along with the great luster similar to the Sun God,
The devas wanting to test the strength and speed of the son of wind God,
Unusually told Surasa to create an obstacle in his path,
And speedily that mother of Nagas(serpents) reached there.

Veeraa , visappu yennikku yetham undennorkka nee,
Mama vadana kuharamathil viravinodu puka nee ,

Knowing about the great strength of Hanuman ,
And hearing that he is coming with clear vision,
For creating a blockade to the son of wind god in the sky,
She went and proudly stood before him,
And shouting in a very hard way , she told him,
“Oh great monkey , did you not see me,
God has told me to eat those ,
Who travel this way without fear,
And due to your fate , you are going to be my food today,
Oh valorous one, remember that I am having a great hunger ,
And so please enter my mouth speedily,
And do not waste time thinking of other things.
Sarasa mithi rabhasatharam adanu surasa giram,
SAhasaal kettu anilathmajan chollinaan,
“Aham akhila jagadadipan amara guru sasanaal,

Hearing these saucy , strong words which,
Fell from the mouth of Surasa, the son of wind god told,
“I for carrying the order of the lord of all worlds,
Am going speedily in search of Sita.
I have to go fast and see her in the town of Rakshasa,
And I would be returning back today or tomorrow from there,
After seeing her and after telling the story of the daughter of Janaka,
To the Lord of the Raghu clan , I would willingly come,
And enter the very fearful mouth of yours,
And since I do not tell a lie at any time,
Speedily give me the way, Oh lady , salutations.
Thadanu kapi kula varanodu avalum ura cheythu,

Then she told to the great monkey,
“I am not able to tolerate my thirst and hunger ,”
“If you have made up your mind strongly,
Please open your mouth” said Hanuman,
Seeing that the son of wind god ,
Is standing with huge body of one yojana broad,
She made her mouth much bigger,
And wonderfully made it five yojana broad.’
Pavana thanayanum mathinnu jjadithi Dasa yojana,
Parimithi kalarnnu kanayoranantharam,

The son of wind god immediately became of ,
A size of ten yojanas and afterwards,
With a great joy in her mind that Surasa,
Stood with a mouth of twenty yojanas size,
Hanuman thinking that her mouth is very big,
Stood with a size of thirty yojanas,
Thinking that this is sufficient as he is a pure one,
And victory cannot be there for both ,
She opened her mouth fifty yojanas wide,
And at that time the son of wind god ,
Became to a size of a thumb entered her mouth .
Thadanu laghu tharam avanum uru thara thapo balaal,

Then he who was light due to the strength of his penance ,
Started to go outside and told her ,
“Hear , pleasant faced one, One who is interested in happiness to devas,
Hey Surasa, Hey mother of snakes, my salutation to you,
I surrender to the lotus like feet of yours,
Oh peaceful one, One who gives help , Salutations, salutations to you.

At the end of the words of that monkey chief,
Enjoying and laughing , that Surasa told,
“Come , you have won , go with pleasure ,
And get the true story of Sita,
And go and tell it to the chief of Raghu clan,
You have to also kill all the Rakshasas,
To understand your strength and wisdom,
I have come as sent by the devas ,
Thus telling the real story , she went ,
To the land of devas , that Surasa.

Then the son of wind god rushed through the sky,
Like a Garuda and when he was going above the ocean,
The sea god told the great mountain as follows,
“You should go and be hospitable to the monkey chief,
Since the son of SAgara king helped me to grow ,
I am called Sagara by all people ,
Please understand that Rama belongs to that family,
And since this one goes for doing his job,
And since he does not have any place to rest,
You should of your own accord come out and remove his tiresomeness.”

The very pure Mainaka studded with gold and gems,
Came in the form of a human being and told,
“Please know that I am the son of Himalayas, Oh monkey hero,
You please sit on me and get rid of your tiresomeness,
I have come here because I was sent by the ocean,
And please get rid of your tiredness and thirst and then go,
Please eat soft ripe fruits ,nectar like water ,
And very sweet honey from me.

This is sufficient, know that, when you go on a job of Rama,
On your way you should not stay in any place ,
And also sleep on the way as well take food,
Or do any other things not related to the job , as is not proper,
And do the duties of the chief of Raghu clan,
Without any fear I am going with speed ,
And I have accepted your hospitality as a friend.

After saying this the son of wind god patted ,
That king of mountains gently,
And then he started moving similar to the wind,
Towards the city of Rakshasas with excitement,
At that time , a shadow catcher living always,
Very deep in the ocean,
Caught and stopped the shadow of him ,
Who goes far above the sky.

At that time examining as to who put a stop,
To his way , Hanuman saw down,
And seeing a very big lady with fear inducing form,
He kicked and killed immediately,
That Simihika who used to catch the shadow ,
And kill and eat the beings who were killed,
And Hanuman left towards the city ,
Of the ten faced one quickly ,
And jumped towards the southern direction.
The sun entered the hill of its death,
And the chief of monkeys reached the pretty spires of Lanka.
Das vadana nagara mathi vimala vipula sthalam,

The city of the ten faced one was very pure and broad,
Situated in the middle of the pretty southern ocean,
It was full of plenty of fruits, flowers and densely grown trees,
Containing several type of climbers , and great population of birds and animals,
Full of gold and gems , similar to the city of devas ,
And Hanuman went inside the city of the three hills,
Which is in the middle of the sea ,
For finding out the story of the daughter of lotus,
And saw the matchless city of Lanka.
Kanaka virachitha mathil kidangum pala tharam,

Seeing the wonderful golden wall and different type of moats ,
He decided that it was difficult to cross and quickly ,
Thought of various plans to cross them,
And meditating on Lord Vishnu ,
He thought that he can enter the town of Rakshasas,
At night taking a very tiny form ,
And thinking about Rama , the enemy of Rakshasa clan,
Trted to enter the town of the enemy of devas.
5.3 Lanka Lakshmi Moksham
Salvation to the Lakshmi of Lanka.

Without delay speedily crossing the big outer wall,
Hiding his form and meditating on the feet of daughter of earth,
Immediately that son of Anjana without any fear ,
Made his body similar to a mustard,
And keeping his left leg in front ,
Was trying to cross and at that time,
He could see the Lanka Lakshmi (guardian angel of Lanka)
With a form of a Rakshasi and shouting with big voice .
“iviide varuvathinnu parakenthu moolam Bhavan,
Yekanai chorano chollu ninvanchitham,

Sir, Please tell me the reason for coming here,
Alone , Please tell me whether you are a thief,
Asuras, devas , men , and all type of animals,
Cannot come here without my knowledge”,
Coming with these undesirable words
She hit Hanuman and the monkey king hit back,
And due to the fist of the emissary of the one from Raghu clan,
She fell down and vomited blood.
Kapivaranodu aval yezhunethu cholledinaal,

She stood up and told that great monkey,
“Friend I just saw your great strength,
This is due to my fate, long time ago Lord Brahma has
Oh valorous one , told me about this ,
“Lord Madhava who is the lord of all worlds , who is perennial,
Who is the real Maha Vishnu , the Narayana ,
Who has lotus like eyes will take an incarnation in the world,
In the twenty eighth section of this eon.”

As a result of my prayer in treata yuga,
For protecting the dharma as well as devas,
He would be born as the son of Dasaratha,
The true goddess of illusion would be born as daughter of Janaka,
For the destruction of the ten headed one.
That lotus eyed one would come to the forest for penance ,
Along with his brother and wife and while he is living there,
The ten face one would steal the daughter of earth,
And during the time he would come with her inside the southern sea,
A treaty would be signed between Rama and son of Sun god,
And due to the orders of that Sugreeva ,
When all the monkeys are wandering and searching,
One of them would come prepared and meet you,
And there would be a fight with him soon,
And there is no doubt that you would become weak and tired.

You would get a beating from the expert in war,
And then you should give him permission,
Any day when you get a beating from monkey ,
Do retreat , “ said Lord Brahma to me,
Since he told this with mercy and without any conditions,
I was waiting at this place for a long time ,
And now go without any problem any where ,
And today Lanka has been won over by you.”

The death of the chief of the clan of Rakshasas,
Has very much neared , Oh servant of god,
Let there be good luck to you,
Please go and see without any problem the lady Sita,
In the private quarters of the ten headed ,
Enemy of Rama, , in the divine entertainment garden,
Which is full of trees , which are full of,
New flowers , fruits and trees ,
Below a tree called Simsapa(irumul) ,
With great sorrow , in between several Rakshasis,
The pure bodied Sita is always sitting with great pain,
You go immediately and tell her story to him,
BY crossing the sea by the way of the sky,.
Let good come to you . oh great crown of monkeys,
Telling these sweet and simple words ,
That lady of the flower disappeared from Lanka.
5.4 Sita Sandarsanam
Seeing of Sita
Udaka nidhi naduvil maruvum trikudadri mel,
Ullangethe abdhou pavanathma janmanaa,
Janaka nara pathi vara makalkkum Dasasyanum,
Chemme virachithu vama bhagam thulom,
Janaka narapathi dduhithru varanu dakshangavum,
Jathanennakil varum sukham dukhavum.
On the three mountains in the middle of the sea,
When the son of wind god crossed the sea,
To the blessed daughter of Janaka and to the ten faced one ,
The left side of their body twitched *,
And to the son in law of king Janaka the right side twitched,
Showing that to any one born , good and bad will come
*Twitching of left side is good omen for females
And bad omen for males.
Thadanu kapi kula pathi kadannithu Lankayil,
Thanathi sookshma sareeranai rathriyil,
Uditha ravi kirana ruche poondoru lankayil,
Okke thiranjaan oridamozhiyathe.
Then the chief of monkeys entered Lanka at night ,
With a body which was very small,
And in the Lanka which was decorated by rising sun,
He searched in all places without leaving any place.
Dasavadana mani nilayamayirikkum mama,
Devi yireppedam yennorthu Maruthi,
Kanaka mani nikara virachitham puriyil yengume,
Kananju Lanka vachanam ortheddinaan,
Udamayodum asura puri kanivinodu cholliyor,
Udhyana dese thiranju thudanginaan.
Thinking that Sita Devi would possibly be,
In the gem studded palace of Ravana,
Which is built by gold and gems ,
He searched in all places and not finding her there,
Remembered the merciful words of Lanka Lakshmi,
And with diligence started searching ,
In all garden places in the town.
Upavanam amrutha sama salilayutha vapiyum,
Uthunga soudhangalum gopurangalum,
SAhaja sutha sachiva bala pathigal bhavanangalum,
Souvarna sala dwaja pathakangalum,
Dasa vadana mani bhavana shobha kanum vidhou,
Digpala mandiramdikruthamai varum.
With parks , lakes with nectar like water ,
High buildings with spires,
Homes of friends, sons ministers and commanders,
With golden coloured peacock and flags ,
To look, the gem studded palace of the ten faced one ,
Appeared to be much better than palaces of guardians of directions.
Kanakamani rachitha bhavangalil yengume ,
Kananju pinneyum neele nokkum vidhou,
Kusuma chaya surabhiyodu pavanan athi goodamai,
Koode thadanju kooti kondu poyudan,
Upavanamuruthara tharu pravarangalum,
Unnathamayulla simsapa vrukshavum,
Athi nikatam akhila jagadeeswari thanneyum ,
AAsuganasu katti kodutheedinaan.
When he was not able to find her out,
In any of those mansions studded with gold and gems,
And when he was further searching everywhere,
The wind along with the aroma of flowers , secretly,
Took him along with him,
To a garden with densely grown trees,
And to one of the very highly grown Simsapa tree ,
And very near to it the Goddess of all universe ,
Was shown to him by the wind god himself.
Malina thara chikura vasanam poodu dheenayai,
Maithili than krusa gathriyai yethrayum,
Bhaya vivasa avaniyil urundum sadaa hrudhi,
Bharthavu thanne ninachu ninachalam,
Nayana jalamanavaratham ozhugi ozhugi pathi,
Namathe Rama Ramethi japikkayum,
Nisi charikal naduvil azhalodu marum easwari,
Nithya swaroopiniye kandu Maruthi,
Vitapi vara sirasi nibida chanthargathan,
Vismayam poondu maranjiruneedinaan
Wearing a very dirty hair and cloths and looking pitiable.
That Sita who was having a very thin form,
Due to great fear rolled on the earth and ,
Thinking and thinking of her husband ,
Always shedding copious tears from the eyes,
And chanting her husband’s name as “Rama, Rama”,
She was living with great fear between the Rakshasis,
And Hanuman saw that ever pretty one ,
And climbed to the top most portion of a tree ,
And hid himself behind its dense foliages.
Divasakara kulapathi Raghuthaman thannude ,
Deviyaam Sitaye kandu, Kapivaran,
Kamala makal akhila Jagadeeswari thannudal,
Kanden , krutharthasmyoham krutharthasmyoham,
Divasakara kulapathi Raghuthaman karyavum,
Dheenathayenniye SAdhichithunnu jnan.
That monkey after seeing Sita , the wife of Rama,
The best among Raghu clan and the lord of the clan of Sun God,
Thought, I have seen the body of the daughter of lotus,
And the goddess of all universe , I am blessed, I am blessed,
I have completed the job of the best among Raghu clan and
The lord of the clan of the Sun God, without any suffering to myself.
5.5 Ravanande Purappadu
The starting of Ravana.
Ithi palavum akathaliril orthu kapivaran,
Ithiri neram irikkum dasanathare ,
Asura kula vara nilayanathim purathu ninnu,
AAsu chila ghosha sabdhangal kelkkai,
Kimidhamithi sapadhi kisalaya chala nileenanai,
Kedaval ddeham marachu maruvinaan,
Vibudha kula ripu Dasamukhan varavethrayum ,
Vismayathode kandu kapi kunjaran.
When that monkey chief was thinking about various things,
And after a little time has passed,
He heard certain sounds ,
From outside that place belonging to asuras,
Thinking what they are and hidden by leaves and not moving,
He continued to hide his insect like small body,
And that chief of monkeys saw with wonder ,
The coming of ten faced one who is the enemy of devas.
Asura sura nisicharavarangana vrundavum,
Adbuthamayulla srungara veshavum,
Dasa vadanan anavaratham aka thaliril undu” than,
DEha nasam bhavikkunnathenneswaraa ,
SAkala jagadadhipathi sanathanan sanmayan,
SAkshaal mukundaneyum kandu kandu jnan,
Nisitha thara sara sakalithanganai kevale,
Nirmalamaya bhagwat padambuje.
Along with the crowd of deva , asura and Rakshasa maidens,
Dressed in a wonderful passionate manner ,
Came the ten faced one in whose mind there was a thought,
“Oh God when will this body die,
When I would be able to see and see,
That real Mukunda who is the Lord of all universe ,
Who lives forever , One who has a good mind,
With my body with holes made of arrows ,
And reach the very pure lotus like feet of that God.”
Varadanajamarumamruthananda poornamaam,
Vaikunta rajyam yenikkennu kittunu,
Athinnu batha samayamidhamithi manasi krutha,
Jnan amboja puthriye kondu ponnedinen,
Athinum oru paribhavamoduzhari vannela,
Vanayur vinasa kalam namukkaagatham,
Sirasi mamalikhithamihamarana samayam drudam,
Chinthichu kandal athinilla chanchalam,
Kamala janumariyaruthukaruthum aval aarkkume ,
Kala swaroopanaam easwaran than matham.
Thinking that it is time for me to get to Vaikunta ,
Which is full of blessed people and nectar like joy
And deciding that time has arrived for that,
I went and brought the daughter of lotus,
And He has not reached here wandering after being hurt by that,
So that the time for my death will arrive quickly.
The writing on my head has already fixed my time of death,
And it is not possible to think and find it out,
And even the god born of lotus also does not know it,
And it is decided by the god whose form is time.
SAthatham akathalirilva karuthi Raghunadhane ,
Swathmanaa chinthichu chithichirikkave ,
Kapikal kulavaran avide yasu chillum mumbe ,
Kandithu rathriyil swapnam Dasananan,
Raghu janana thilaka vachanena rathrou varum,
Kashil kapi varan Kamaroopanvithan,
Krupayodoru krumi sadrusa sookshma sareeranai,
Kulsnam puravaramnwishya nischalam.
Like this when he has kept Rama within him,
And think and think within his mind about him,
Before the chief of the monkey clan has reached there ,
That Ravana saw a dream at night ,
As per the words of Rama , during one night will come ,
One monkey who can take any form he likes ,
With mercy but with a micro form similar to an insect,
After searching the whole city ,
Tharu nikara vara sirasi vannirunnadharaal,
Thar magal thanneyum kandu Ramodantham,
Akhilam avalodu batha, paranjadayalavum,
AASu koduthudan aswasipichu pom.
He would sit with respect on a top of a tree ,
And tell the story of Rama to the daughter of earth,
And after telling the entire story , he would give her mementos,
And he would console her before going away.
Athu pozhuththil avan arivathinnu jnan chennu kandu,
AAdhi valarthuvan vaang mayasthangalaal,
Raghupathi yodathum avan seshamariyichu,
Ramanumingu kopichudane varum,
Rana sirasi sukhamaranam athi nisithamayulla ,
Rama saramethu yenikkum varum drudam ,
Paramagathi varuvathinnu paramorupadesamaam,
Pandhavithu mama parkkayillethume,
Sura nivahamatha bala vasaal sathyamai varum ,
Swapnam chilakku chilakalamokkanam.
At that time to make him know , I would go ,
And increase her sorrow by the arrows of my words,
And he will later tell it to the lord of Raghu clan,
And Rama would get angry and would come here immediately
And in the war I would get a pleasant death,
By the very sharp arrows of Sri Rama, definitely,
And this would be the only way as far as I know,
For getting divine salvation is the divine teaching,
And for some people dreams would come true,
By the decision made by the gods.
Nija manasi palavum ithi viravodu nirroopichu,
Nischithya nirgamicheedinaan Ravanan,
Kanaka mani valaya kadakangadha noopura,
Kanchi mukha bharanaravaamanthike ,
Vivasa thara hrudayamodu kettu nokkum vidhou ,
Vismayamammaru kandu purobhavi ,
Vipudha ripu nisichara kuladhipan than varavu,
Yethrayum bheethanai vannithu Sithayum.
Thinking about several such things in his mind,
And deciding on a course Ravana started from there,
And hearing the sound of gem studded gold bangle , shoulder crest ,
Anklets, belt and various other ornaments,
With a very heavy heart , Sita was greatly surprised ,
And the coming of the chief of Rakshasa clan,
Made Sita extremely scared.
Urasi javumuru thudagalaal marachadhi
Poonduthamangam thazhthi vepadhu gathriyai ,
Nija Ramana nirupama sareeram nirakulam,
NIrmalam dhyanichirikkum dasanthare ,
Dasavadanan yuga sara paravasathayaa samam,
Devi samipe thozhuthiruneedinaan.
When she hiding her breasts by her thighs and fear stuck,
And bending low her head and with a shivering body ,
And meditating on the real form of Rama ,
Who is pure, incomparable , serene and pure,
Then that ten faced one along with passion,
Came and stood near the lady and saluted her.
