Jagannatha
Panchakam
(The pentet on Lord Jagannatha)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Lord Jagannatha
along with his elder brother Bala
Rama and Sister Subhadra
is worshipped in the temple
at Puri Jagannath. ,This place is called as Niladri (Blue mountain in
the Jagannath cult of Vaishnavism.,It is interesting to note
that Saint Ramanuja , the founder of Visishtadvaitha and
Adhi Sankara the founder of
Advaitha had visited Puri and each of them established a Mutt there. ,Initially the temple had a deity called Nila Madhava but later
was replaced by Jagannath at Nilanchal

the lord of blue mountains who has
a pair of eyes,
Which are very
pretty and destroy the pride of red lotus
flowers,
Who wears a peral necklace , gold
crown and shining gem studded ear globes,
Who has the colour of the blue water rich clouds, who wears
garlands ,
Who holds the
divine wheel on his side and who
has a o pleasing face.

2.I daily salute
the greatest Purusha living in
the home of Lakshmi,
Who has eyes like
the fully opened blue lotus flowers, who
is very pretty with deep blue black

Who is the lord of the universe, who has two shining lotus
feet , who appears like a lotus,
Who is enemy of Rakshasas, Who has a face which is like full moon and who holds
the conch and wheel in his two hands.

3,I salute daily
that great Purusha who is the shining brooch of the blue mountain,
Who has a pretty body like the rising cloud , Who has a face like the
full moon,
Who has two eyes which are like fully open lotus flowers, Who is the
treasure house of mercy,
Who destroys all
problems of his devotees and who is the
gem of thought to those who want to think about him.

4.I think about
the God who is the essence of Vedas ,
who is surrounded by good people,
Who is the tree of Brahma , who sits on the gem studded throne
, in between,
A lotus with hundred petals which is in between the conch of
the blue mountain,
Who is fully
decorated , who is like a brilliant new
cloud , who is along with his elder brother ,
Who keeps his feet on the left side of the chariot and who is saluted by Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma.

5. I sing about
the lord who is indecisive in
battles , who is as white as moon and
who guards the God of love ,
Who keeps the anchor along
with the club with great speed and made the
koel very nervous,
Who wears the gem
studded blessed ear globes , Who by his
prowess is the lord of the world,
Who has two pretty
cheeks which shine like diamonds and who
shines like the Gem of the king of
serpents.
