Kausalya’s prayer to Baby Rama at his birth(Malayalam:Adhyathma Ramayanam)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Lord Rama takes birth like Lord Vishnu with four hands holding Chakra , Conch, flower and made. His mother Kausalya prays to him)
“ Namasthe deva deva , SAnkha chakrabhja dhara,
Namasthe Vasudeva , Madhusudana , hare,
Namasthe Narayana , Namasthe narakare,
Namastheswara , Soure , Namasthe Jagalpathe,
Ninthiruvadi Maya deviye kondu viswam,
Santhatham srustichu , rakshichu samharikkunnu,
Sathwadhi guna thraya masrayichu yendinnethennu,
Uthamanmaarkku polum arivaan velayathre.”
“Salutations to God of gods who wears the conch and the
wheel,
Salutations to Vasudeva, the killer of Madhu and Hari,
Salutations to Narayana , Salutations to killer of Naraka,
Salutations to the God , the archer , Salutations to Lord of universe,
Your great self using the goddess of illusion are always,
For Creating , looking after and destroying this universe,
And depending on the three character class like Sathwa,
Even the very pure great ones are not clear as to why this is for that.”

The greatest , He who is not any other one , The divine Brahmam , the
divine one,
The divine soul , The divine Purusha, the complete one,
Achyuthan, The endless one , the not clear one , the imperishable one, he who
is the one,
He who does not move, he who is unequalled, He who gives salvation, he who is
forever,
He who is pure , he who is untainted, The God of the soul who does not have
emotions,
The calm one , who is disinterested , he who is personification of
absence of pride,
He who does not have any divisions , the purest one , the just one , he who
does not have any stain,
He who does not have any characteristic , He who is worshipped by words of
Vedas, the lord,
He who does not do anything, He who does not have a form , he who does not age
, He who is honoured,
He who does not have desires, he who lives in the mind of just ones,
He who does not have a second , he who cannot be defeated, he who is forever
joyful , Lord Narayana,
The learned one , the bee that hovers round the mind , the enemy of
Madhu,
He who is truthful , The god of all souls , He who does not have beginning,
The being which collects truth , he who is served by sages like Sanaka,
The personification of meanings of philosophy , he who pervades all over
universe,
He who is only essence , I surrender to your feet.
Ninthiruvadiyude jadarathingal nithya,
Manthamillaatholam Brahmandangal kidakkunnu,
Anganeyulla bhavaan yennude jadarathil,
Yingane vasippathenthu karanam pothi,
Bhakthanmaar vishayamayulloru paaravasyam,
Vyakthamai kaanai vannu mugdhayaam yenikippol.
In your honour’s stomach daily and endlessly ,
All the universes are always lying,
And what is the cause of that type of yourself ,
Living within my stomach, salutations to you.
And me who is foolish is now experiencing,
The sensation of great devotees now.
Bharthru puthrartha aakula samsara dukha ambhudhou,
Nithyavum nimagnanaaya athyartham brahmikkunnen,
Ninnude Maha Maya thannude balathinaal,
Innu nin padambujam kaananum yogam vannu.
Being daily drowned in the sea of husband , children and worries in life,
I am completely confused and due to the strength of great illusion,
Today I am lucky enough to see your lotus like feet.
Thwal karunyathaal , nithyam ulkombil vasikkenam,
Ikkanaakiya roopam dushkrutham odunguvaan,
Viswa mohiniyaaya nin maha maya ,
Viswesa , mohipichedayka maam , Lakshmi pathe,
Kevalam aloukeekam Vaishnava maya roopam,
DEvesa , Maraykkenam matthullor kanum mumbe,
Lalanaa asleshadhya anurropa mayiripporu,
Bala bhavathe mama kattenam Dhaya nidhe,
Puthra vathsalya vyajamayoru parichara na
Thale kadakkenam Dukha samsarnavam.
By your mercy , we have to live comfortably,
And though this form of yours is to destroy bad actions,
Your great illusion who is prettiest in the world,
Oh God of universe , should not make me desire for it, Oh consort of
Lakshmi,
The form of Vaishnava maya is very unusual,
Oh God of devas , please hide this form before others see it,
And take the form of a child which is more suitable to hug
you,
And bring you up with care, and show me, oh treasure of mercy ,
And I with a reason of affection towards my son,
Would serve you and cross the ocean of the sad samsara.
Bhakthi poonditham veenu vanangi sthuthichappol,
Bhaktha vathsalan , purushothaman arul cheythu
“Mathave , bhavithikku yendhishtamakunna thennal,
Athu mantharamilla , chinthicha vannam varum,
Durmadham valarnnoru Ravanan thane kkonnu,
Sammodham lokangalkku varuthi kkolvaan munnam,
Brahma Sankara pramukhamara roopa pravaranmaar,
Nirmala padangalaal sthuthichu sevikkayaal ,
Manava vamsithingal ningalkku thanayanai,
Manusha vesham poondu bhoomiyil pirannu jnaan,
Puthranai pirakkanam , jnaan thane ningalkku yennu ,
Chithathil niroopichu sevicha chira kaalam,
Poorva janmani punarathu karanam ippol,
Evam bhooothakamaya Veshathe Kaati thannu.
When she with great devotion , saluted and prayed to him,
The God who is the darling of his devotees, That great Purusha told,
“Oh mother , I do not have any problem in taking a form,
That is liked by you and it would come as you think,
For killing Ravana who is roaming with great pride,
And to bring good life to all the people on earth,
Once Brahma , Shiva and the great Lords of devas,
Prayed me with holy words and served me.
And I decided to be born in the clan of Manu ,
As your child , taking the form of a human being,
And I was born as your son, because you,
Served me once with a wish in your mind,
That I only should be born as a child to you,
In your previous births and due to that reason ,
I only showed you my real form.”
Durlabham mama darsanam mokshathinnuyitu llo-,
Nilaa allo , pinneyoru janma samsara dukham,
Yennude roopamidham nithyaum dhyanichu kol –
Kennaal Vannedum mokamilla samsayamethum.
Seeing me in this form can only be done rarely,
And this is meant for getting salvation to you ,
If you can meditate on this form with devotion daily,
Then do not have any doubt that you would get salvation.
Yaathoru marthyaniha nammile samvadam ithu ,
Aadharaal padikathan, Kelkkathan cheyyunnathu ,
Sadhikkum avannu saroopya menu arinjaalum,
Chethasi marikkumbol mal smaranayum undaam.
That man who reads or hears with devotion,
The discussion that took place between us,
Will attain my Saujya(salvation) definitely,
And at the time of his death he will remember me,
Itharam arul cheythu bala bhavathe poondu,
Sathwaram kaalum kaiyum kudanju karayunnon,
Indra neelabha poonda Sundara roopan,
Aravinda lochanan , Mukundan , Paramandathma,
Chandra chooda aravinda mandira vrundaraka,
Vrunda vandithan , bhuvi vannu avatharam cheythaan.
Saying this he took the normal form of a little baby,
And immediately started crying shaking his arms and legs,
And he was extremely pretty with the colour of blue sapphire,
Also one having lotus like eyes, Mukundan , soul of divine joy,
One saluted by those present in the lotus like temple of
Shiva ,
And thus he took incarnation in his world.
