Ramachandraya Mangalam
(Let there be auspiciousness to Ramachandra)
By
Bhadragiri Ramadas
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Bhadragiri Ramadas was a great Savant belonging to Andhra Pradesh. He built the Bhadrachalam temple of Rama. It seems he used the money of the Nizam to build it. Later he was imprisoned and kept in Golkonda fort of Hyderabad. Rama himself interceded on his behalf, paid the money to Nizam and got the saint released.)
Ramachandraya Janaka Rajaja manoharaya,
Maamaka abheeshta dhaya mahitha Mangalam.
Kosalesaya Manda hasa dasa poshanaaya,
Vasavadhi vinatha sadwaraya Mangalam. 1
Mangalam to Ramachandra, the pretty Lord of daughter of Janaka,
And to him who fulfills all my desires without fail,
Mangalam to the Lord of Kosala, who encourages his devotees with smile,
And who is saluted by Indra and his subjects.
Charu megha roopaya , chandanadhi charchithaya,
BHana kataka Shobhithaya bhoori Mangalam,
Lalitha rathna kundalaya , Thulasi vana malikaya ,
Jala jagataka dehaya Charu Mangalam. 2
Mangalam to him who is like a pretty cloud , who is coated with sandal paste
And he who shines in his bracelet ,
Pretty Mangalam to he who wears pretty gem studded ear studs ,
Who wears a garland of Thulasi,
And the one who has a body like lotus.
Devaki suputhraya , deva devo dathamaya,
Pavana guru varaya, sarva Mangalam,
Pundarikakshaya poorna chandra vadanaya,
Andaja vahanaya , Athulya Mangalam. 3
All mangalams to son of Devaki who is a God of devas,
And who is a great pure teacher,
Invaluable Mangalam to him who has lotus like eyes
Who has moon like face and rides on Garuda.
Vimala roopaya , vividha vedantha Vedhyaya,
Sumukha chitha kamithaa subhaga Mangalam,
Ramadasa mrudula hrudaya vasaya,
Swami Bhadra giri varaya divya Mangalam. 4
Pleasing Mangalam to the pure form who is an expert in Vedas and Vedanthas,
Who likes to see mind of people with pretty face,
Divine Mangalam to he who lives in the soft mind of Ramadasa,
And to the God who lives in Bhadrachalam.

Dwadasa Nama Panjara Stotram

(This is a remarkable Kavacha made up of 12 names of Lord Vishnu along with his 12 weapons.)
Purasthath Keasava pathu , Chakree Jaambu natha prabha,
Paschann Narayana Sankhee Neela jeemootha sannibha. 1
In the east Mai I be protected by Kesava,
Who holds the holy wheel of molten gold,
In the west may I be protected by Narayana,
Who holds the conch and resembles the rich blue cloud.
Indheevara dhala shyamo Madhavo oordhwa gadhadhara,
Govindo, Dakshine parswae thanvee Chandra prabho Mahan. 2
From the top , let me be protected by Madhava ,
Who is of the colour of blue lily and holds a mace,
In the south let me be protected by Govinda,
Who has the cool luster of moon and holds an arrow.
Uthare Hala bruth Vishnu , padma kinjalka sannibha,
Agneyaam Aravindhabho musalee madhusoodhana. 3
In the north let me be protected by Lord Vishnu,
Who is of the colour of lotus filament and holds the plough,
In the south east, let me be protected by killer of Madhu,
Who resembles a lotus and holds a pestle.
Trivikrama gadga pani, niryathyam jwalana prabhaa,
Vayavyam Vamano vajri tharunadhithya deepthimaan. 4
In the south west let me be protected by Trivikrama .
Who holds the sword and shines like fire,
In the North West let me protected by Vamana,
Who holds the thunder bolt and shines like young Sun.
Eesanyaam Pundareekabha Sridhara pattasayudha,
Vidhyuth prabho Hrishikeso hyavachyam disi mudhgari. 5
In the north east let me be protected by Sridhara ,
Of the colour of the lotus and holding a spear,
And from below let me be protected by Hrishikesa,
Who shines like lightning and holding a hammer.
Hrud padme Padmanabho may sahasra arka sama prabha,
SArvayudha sarva Shakthi sarvagna sarvatho mukha. 6
Let Lord Padmanabha , with brilliance of billion suns,
And occupying my heart , With all the weapons ,
With all the powers , with knowledge of everything,
With faces in all directions protect me always.
Indra kopa sangasa pasa hastho aparajitha,
Sa bahaya antharam deham vyapya Damodhara sthitha. 7
Let Damodhara who is inside and outside me,
Having the colour of blue bee ,
Having the nooses in his hands,
And is invincible protect me always.
Yevam sarvathra machidhram nama dwadasa panjaram,
Pravishtoham na may kinchith bhayamasthi kadachana. 8
Bhayam nasthi kadhachana om nama ithi.
Having thus entered the unbreakable cage ,
Of the twelve names which pervades every where,
I am protected always and every where,
And do not feel fear at any time.
No fear at any time.

Surasuradhitha Divya padukam,
Characharantha sthitha Bhoota nayakam,
Virajamana nanamadhi desikam,
Varabhayalankrutha panimasraye. 1
I seek protection with the hand that protects and blesses,
Of the God whose divine feet is worshipped by devas and asuras,
Of the leader of all beings who is in moving and non moving things,
Of the teacher who shines in his divine powers.

Smarami SAstharam anadha rakshakam. 2
I meditate on Sastha who protects the orphans,
Who sits on the blessed seat , who shines with a gem on his neck,
Who shines with the sacred ash on his lotus like arms,
And who is the generous one who can arm himself just by thought.
Smaradhi Sangeetha rasanuvarthanam,
Swaraja kolahala divya keerthanm,
Dhara dharendropari nithya narthanam,
Kiratha moorthim kalaye mahaddhanam. 3
I meditate on the sweet meaning of music,
Who is the divine music singing about himself,
Who dances much above the earth,
Who is the hunter and the sweet divine treasure.

Who is the spotless nectar like wealth of mercy,

Kireeta harangadha kankanojwalam,
Purathanam bhoothapathim bhajamyaham. 5
I sing about the ancient Lord of Bhoothas,
Who sits on a horse in the hill in the forest,

And wears a shining crown and a necklace made of gold.
Varapradham viswa vaseekruthyakrutheem,
Sura pradhanam , SAbari gireeswaram,
Uruprabham , koti divakara prabham,
Gurum bhajeham kula daivatham Sadaa. 6
I worship my clan deity who is my teacher,
Who gives boons, who has a very attractive form,
Who is the chief of devas, Who is the lord of Sabari mountain,
Who is greatly shining , and shining like billions of suns.

Aaranya varnam , jadaeka nayakam,
Tharunya samath nilayam sanathanam,
Karunya moorthim , kalaye divanisam. 7
I salute day and night the picture of mercy,
Who is liked by forest tigers and other animals,
Who is of the colour of forest, The only lord of the world.
Who is the seat of the wealth of youth and beginning less.
Durantha thapa thraya papa mochakam,
Nirantharananda gathi pradhayakam,
Param thapam pandyanyapala balakam,
Chiranthanam bhoothapathim thamasraye. 8
I surrender to the Lord of Bhoothas, who is above thought,
Who frees you from three types of sufferings, sin and calamities,
Who grants you the state of permanent joy,
Who is divine, who meditates and is the son of Pandya king.

God please protect us, without leaving our hand,
You are pilot in this sea of birth, and your feet is the boat.
Onnu onnai yenni thottennum porul odungiyal,

When the counting which starts one by one comes to an end,
The mind also would stop and merge in to you.

Bhoothavum, bhaviyum vere ellothum mozhiyum orkkugil nee. 7
You are the truth , wisdom and you,

(This is a soulful prayer on Ganesa in Hindi, in the normal lines of Aarathi. But since Ganesa is not a very popular God in places north of Maharashtra, it appears as if it is written there or in the northern Karnataka where Hindi and Ganesa are popular)
Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha Devaa
Matha Jaaki, Parvati Pita Mahadeva,
Ladduvan Ka Bhog lage ,Sant Karen Seva
Ek Dant Dayavant Chaar Bhujaa Dhaari, Jai Ganesh 1

Whose mother is Parvathi and whose father is Lord Shiva,
The saints do your worship by offering you Laddus,
Oh merciful God with one tusk and four hands,
Maathe Sindoor Shoye Muse Ki Savaaree,
Haar Chadhe Phool Chadhe Aur Chadhe Mevaa,
Andhen Ko Aankh Det Khodeen Ko Khaaya,
Baanjhan Ko Putra Det Nirdhan Ko Maaya, Jai Ganesh 2
Who has put a sindhoor and rides on a mouse,
I offer him garlands, I offer him flowers, and I offer him milk sweets
Who gives eye to the blind and health to the lepers,
Who gives child to the barren , and wealth to the poor.
Deenan Kee Laaj Raakh Shambhu Sutwaaree
Kamna ko pure karo Jag Bal hari
Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha Devaa 3
