Rama Pratha smarana Stotram

Rama Pratha smarana  Stotram

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

1.Pratha  smarami  Raghu nadha  Mukhara vindam,

Mandasmitha  Madhurabhashi vilasa  phalam,

Karnavalambi chala kundala Ganda Bhagam,

Karnatha  derga  nayanam nayanaabhiramam

Early morning  I think of the lotus  like face of Rama,

Smiling softly  , taking sweetly  with broad  forehead,

Wearing shaking ear globes   in ears  touching his cheeks,

Having long  eyes up to ears and very pretty  to look at.

2.Prathar bhajami  Raghu nadha  kararavindam,

Rakshganaya  bhayadham  varadam nijebhya,

Yad Raja samsadhi vibhithya  mahesa   chapam,

Seetha kara  grahana mangala mapa   sadhya

At the morning I sing about   the lotus face of Rama,

Which scares  the Rakshasas, which grants boons truly,

Which broke  lord Shiva’s bow  in the assembly of kings,

And was  able to  hold Sita    and get  married to her

3.Prathar namami Raghu nadha  padaravindam

Padmangusaadhi shubharekhi shubahvaham may,

Yogeendra  manasa madhu vrutha   sevya maanam,

Shaapapaham sapathi  gauthama  dharma  pathnyaa

At the morning salute    the  lotus like  feet of Rama,

Which had k lines of lotus and goad  indicating good things to come,

Which is served  by the minds of yogis like that of a honey bee,

And which lifted    the cause  of virtuous  wife  of sage Gauthama,

4/Prathar  vadhami vachasaa Raghu nadha  namam,

Vakh dosha kari sakalam kalusham nihathya,

Yath Parvathi swa pathinaa saha bokthu kamaa,

Preethayaa sahasra Hri nama samam  jajabha.

In the early  moning using my  world, I tell  the name of  Rama,

Which destroys every defect  of the words  tht are told,

Which  Parvathi   along with her husband  with desire chanted,

Instead of chanting   one thousand names  of Hari

5.Pratha sraye  sruthinutham Raghu nadha  moorthi,

Neelambuthothphalasithe thara  rathna  leelaam,

Amuktha  moukthika viseshana  bhooshanaadyaam,

Dhyeyaam samastha  munibhi nija bruthya  mukhyai

In the early morning I depend  on Lord Raghu nadha praised   by Vedas,

Who is of the colour of rich blue cloud and wears   the blue gems,

And who wears special ornaments made of  pearls got free,

Which is  meditated by real sages and by his true   devotees

6.Ya sloka  panchakamidhm  niyatha  padeth,

Nithyam   prabatha   samaye purusha  prabudha,

Sri rama kinkara  janeshu sa   eva mukhya

Bhoothvaa  prayaathi hari loka mananya  labhyam

He who    chants   these  five verses   as per rules,

Daily at sun rise would   become a great man,

And become  most imporyant  among Rama’s devotees.,

And    would attain Vaikunta, not attainable by others
