(Here is a peculiar prayer addressed to Rama and his three  brothers.)

1.Dasaradha  nrupa puthram  , Janaki  prana  mithram,

Ruchira  jalaja nethram  , bhargavee  spardhi  gathram,

Kara thala drutha sashtram  , Naumi rakendhu vakthram,

Pranutha vijitha   vruthram  Ramachandram Pavithram.

1.He is  Son of king Dasaratha  , great soul like   friend of Sita 

Who  has shining eyes like the lotus  , Whose  body touched  Ahalya,

And who holds  his weapons in his hands and I salute  him who has sun and moon as eyes.

Who has sun and n moon as his eyes and who is the   divinely pure  Ramachandra. 

2.Dinakara   kula deepam , Panjajanyamsa  bhootham,

Duritha  samana lolam ,Lakshmanasya   agrajam tham,

Bhuvana bharama daksham  Rama  bhakthagra ganyam,

Bharatha manias meede, Ranachandranu  jaatham

2. He is the lamp of the solar dynasty , who is the  partial incarnation of Pancha Janya,

Who is interested  in solving my problems  , Who is the elder  brother of Lakshmana,

Who is an expert  in ruling this world, Who is the greatest among  devotees of Rama,

And I always  pray  Lord Bhratha   who was   born along with  Ramachandra.

3. Kara drutha sara  chapam , Surya vamsavathamsam  ,

Ripu kula dava vahneem, Lakshmanam Raja puthram,

Sritha jana paripalam   Ramachandranujam   tham,

Dasa  muka sutha kalam , Naumi seshamsa  jatham.

He is the one who holds bow and arrow , who was bv born in the clan of the Sun,

Who is a fire that burns his enemies who is Lakshmana   the prince  ,

Who protects those  who surrender to him  , who is the younger  brother of Ramachandra  ,

And who was the killer I of son of Ravana    and I salute him who is incarnation of Adhisesha.

4.Dasaratha nrupa soonum , Lakshmanasyanujatham,

Bharatha  saha charam, Sri Rama Poojaa nimagnam,

Muni nivaha  nishevyam , Vishnu Chakramsa  bhootham,

Lavana  nisichargnam  , Naumi Sathrugna veeram.

4.He  is the   son of king Dasaratha  , who was born along with Lakshmana,

Who always accompanies Bharatha, who is engaged  in worship of Rama 

Who was honored by multitude of sages , who was born as incarnation of the wheel,

And who killed Lavanasura   and I  salute that  Valorous Shatrugna.
