Sri Rama Kavi

Translated  from Tamil Text

By

P.R.Ramachander

(Jayadheva’s Ashta padhi  decribes the love story  of Lord Krishna and Radha .It has 24 sections    , each with 8 verses. The author says he   was a resident of  Thiruvisainallur   at the time of king Shaji (16^th centuary) .He further says that he was a Hoysala  Karnataka  Brahmin  and he wrote this great   work  in  Sri ranga  Patnam of Karnataka.   The tamil manuscript(Or grantha lipi)  was   recovered  from Saravasthi Mahal Library    and a great scholar   called Sri Swamintha Athreya  had  re written it in Sanskrit Lipi    and also translated  it  in to English . He requested  Tamil Pandit    Sri N.Srivivasan     to publish in Tamil   with Tamil Commentary.This book was published from Bangalore  in 2002.   I could get a copy of this Tamil edition and have   used it for English translation.   Apart from the English translation of Sri Swaminatha Athreya  (I could not get it,  A great scholar  called   Sri P.R.Kannan has translated  this book   in to English and published it.( http://simshuba.com/product/ramashtapadi/ ) I could have purchased   the book and refered to it  .But   to   use my own style of translation  , I did not buy the book.

Sri Swaminatha  Athreya   has suggested  the use   of this great  book   for performing Bhajan of Sita Rama Kalyanam/ Sita Rama  Pattabhishekam .

He has suggested  the following  programme:-

1.Sing   thodaya  mangalam in the morning and   sing  ashtapadhi 1-6(ending   with Sita  kalyanam) .Then Sita  Kalyanam  can be celebrated  as per  BHajana  Sampradhayam .,

2,In the evening start with  7^th Ashta padhi   and sing up to 20^th Ashtapadhi, that is up to Hanuman seeing Sita  in Lanka

3.In the evening we can have Divua  Nama Bhajanai   and end with dolothsavam.

4.In the morning start   with singing  of “Kausalya Supraja Rama..” , have uncha vrithi , sing thodaya  mangalam .Later  21 to 24^th   ashtapadhi can be sung .This can be followed by worship of Rama.

The twenty four  Ashtapadhi    describes  the following aspects  of Ramayana :-

And shower his grace  on every one who bows to him is Rama

Who gave salvation even to his   enemy,.

Who came before  him as golden deer.
