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.”

Paraman, paraaparan parabrahmakhyan  paran,

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.
