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 (16th
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 7th Ashta padhi and sing up to 20th 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 24th ashtapadhi can be sung .This can be followed
by worship of Rama.
The twenty four
Ashtapadhi describes the following aspects of Ramayana :-

Whether we can

But the only God who does
not bother to do that,
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.
