3.21 Kabandha Sthuthi from Adhyathma Ramayana (Malayalam
Prayer of Kabanda
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Ninthiruvadiyude thathwam mithoruvarkkum,’
Chinthichal arinju koodavathennakilum,’
Ninthiruvadi thanne sthuthippan thonnedunnu,
SAnthathamandathwam kondu yenthoru maha moham,
Anthavum aadhiyum illathoru para brahmam,
Antharathmani thelinju unarnnu vasikkanam,
Bandhavamathu moksha prapthi yum arulanam.
Though I am the one who does not know,
Your philosophy in spite of my thinking,
I feel like praying your honourable self,
What a wish due to permanent blindness?
You are the divine brahmam without beginning or end,
And we have to realize it in our soul and live,
The darkness should go away joy should rise up,
And after detachment, you should grant me salvation.
Avyaktha mathi sookshmamaayoru bhavadroopam,
Suvyaktha bhavena deha dwaya vilakshanam,
Dhyugrupam eka manyath sakalam drusyam jadam,
Durgrahyam anathmakam aakayaal ajnanikal,
Yengine yariyunnumanasa vyathiriktham ,
Mangeedathoru paramathmanam brahmanandam.
Not clear , extremely difficult to see is your form,
And when it is seen in a clear form different from the corpus and micro forms,
As a form of wisdom which is one, you realise all other forms are without soul,
Since it is difficult to see and is the not the soul,
How can the ignorant people understand it as some thing different from mind,
And realize that the divine joy is one which never fades
Budhyathma aabhasangalkku ulle ikyamayathu jeevan,
Budhyadhi sakshi bhootham brahmam yennathu nonnam,
Nirvikara brahmani nikhilathmani nithye,
NIrvishayakhye lokam ajnana moha vasaal ,
AAropikka pettoru thaijasam sookshma deham,
Hairanyam athu virat purushan athi sthoolam,
Bhavanaa vishayamayonnathu yogeendraanaam,
Kevalam thathra kanaayidunnu jagathellam.
The soul is the mixture of brain and the feeling of the soul
And the divine power is only a witness to the activities of brain,
And the Brahmam without any sensations , which has filled the entire world,
Is thought as the subject less world by the ignorant due to illusion,
But that insinuated shine of the micro body is nothing but the Hiranya Garbha ,
And that is the macro man which is extremely huge,
And this has become the matter of thought to the great yogis,
For within it any one can see all the universe.
Bhoothamayathum bhavyamayathum bhavishyaythum,
Hethuna Maha ththwadhyavyatha sthoola dehe,
Brahmanda kose viral purushe Kanakunnu,
SAnmayamenna poale lokangal pathinalum ,
THunganaam virat puman aakiya Bhagawan,
Thannangangal allo , pathinalu lokavum noonam,
Patalam pada moolam parshnikal mahatalam,
Nadha , they gulpham rasa thalavum thalathalam ,
Charu janukkalallo suthalam Raghupathe ,
OOru kandangal thava vimalamatalavum,
Jaghanam mahee thalam nabhi they nabha sthalam,
Raghu nadhorasthalamayathu suralokam,
Kanda desam they maharlokam mennariyenam,
Thundamayathu jana lokamennathu noonam.
Whether it is past , present or future,
Great sages are able to see it all as a part of the macro entity ,
Of the Brahmnda Kosa of the Virat Purusha .
The fourteen worlds are a part of him who is occupying every where,
And are the body parts of the famous virat Purusha who is yourself,
The Patala is the underneath of the feet, Mahatala are the heels,
Oh Lord your ankle is the Rasathala, Thalathala is your pretty knee,
Oh Lord of Raghu clan , Suthala are your thighs , Vimalamatala ,
Is the front of your hip, Mahithala is your navel,
The chest of Raghu Nadha is the place of devas,
Mahar loka is your neck , please know this ,
That the jana loka is your face .
SAnkha desam they thapo lokam , ingu athi meethe ,
Pankaja yoni vasamakiya sathyaliokam ,
Uthamangam they purushothama , Jagat prabho ,
SAtha mathraka , Megha jalangl kesangalum,
SAkradhi loka palanmaar yellam bhujangal they ,
Dikkugal karnangalum aswikal nasikalum,
Vakthramayathu vahni , nethram aadhithyan thanne ,
Chithram yethrayum manasaayathu chandranallo ,
Bhoobhangam allo kalam , budhi vakpathiyallo,
Kopa karanam mahankaramayathu Rudran,
Vakkellam chandassukal , damshtangal yamanallo ,
Nakshtra pankthiyellam dwija pankthikalallo ,
Hasamayathu moha karini maha maya ,
Vasana srushti sthva apanga mokshanangalallo .
Your forehead is the Tapoloka and above that ,
Is the Sathyaloka which is the residence of Brahma,
Which is your head, Oh greatest among men, Oh lord of universe,
Oh Lord who is only truth , Your hair is the collection of clouds,
The guardians of directions like Indra are your arms,
Directions are your ears , Asvini kumaras are your nose,
Your mouth is the fire , Your eyes are the Sun God,
And greatly wonderful , moon is your mind,
Time are your eye brows, goddess Saraswathi is your brain,
The reason for anger is pride and that is Rudra,
All your words are meters, teeth are Yama the god of death,
The rows of stars are your row of teeth,
Your smile is the great Maya(illusion) that attracts ,
Creation which is your habit is your invitation by the corner of the eye
Dharmam nin puro bhagam, Adharmam prushta bhagam,
Unmesha nimeshangal dina rathrikal allo,
Saptha sagarangal nin kukshi desangal allo,
Saptha maruthanmaarum niswasa ganamallo,
Nadhikal yellam thava nadikal aakunnathum,
Pruthwee darangal pol asthikalakunnathum,
Vrushadyoushadangal they Romangal aakunnathum,
Thykshaanaam devan thanne hrudayamakunnathum,
Vrushtiyatyathum thava rethassu yennariyenam,
Pushtamaam Mahipathe, kevala Jnana sakthi,
Sthoolamayulla virad Purusha roopam thava ,
Kale nithyavum dhyanikkunnavanundam mukthi,
Ninthiruvadiyozhinjilla kinchana vasthu,
SAnthatham yee drugroopam chinthichu vananguneen,
Yikkalam mithil kkalum mukhyamayirippon,
Ithi kanakiya roopameppozhum thonnedenam.
Dharma is your front side and Adharma is your back side ,
Enthusiasm and depression are days and nights to you,
The seven seas are the parts of your abdomen,
All the rivers are your nerves, mountains are your bones,
Trees and medicinal herbs are the hairs of your body,
Lord Shiva is your heart, The success is your semen,
Oh great king , the simple power of divine wisdom,
Is the macro form of yours which is called Virat Purusha,
And he who daily meditates you in the morning will get salvation,
For there is no other thing in the world except you,
And I always think of this form of yours and salute it,
Let the form of yours which is more important ,
Than this should always appear before me.
Thapasa vesham , daravallabham Santhakaram,
Chapeshu karam jada valkala vibhooshanam,
Kanane vichinwatham janakim salakshmanam,
Manava sreshtam Manojnam manobhava samam,
Manase vasippathinnalayam chinthikkunnen,
Bhanu vamsoth bhoothanaam Bhagawan namo nama.
I am searching for a place in mind to install,
The god who was born
in the clan of the Sun god,
Who has Saintly form , and is consort of earth , having a
form of peace ,
Holding bow in his hands, decorated with matted hair and wooden bark,
Who searches for Janaki along with Lakshmana ,
Who is a Great human being , sweet to the mind and equal to God of love,
Salutations and salutations to him.
SArvajnan, Maheswaran , easewaran , Maha devan,
Sarvan, avyayan, parameswariyodum koodi ,
Ninthiruvadiyeyum dhyanichu kondu kaasyaam,
Santhatham irunnu aruleedunna mukthyargthamai,
THathraiva mumukshukkalayulla janangalku,
Thathwa bodartham nithyam tharaka brahma vakyam,
Rama ramethi kaninju upadesavum nalgi ,
Somanaam nadhan vasicheedunnu sada kalam.
The all knowing one , the great god , Lord Shiva , the Mahadeva,
Sarva, the non decaying one along with Goddess Parvathi,
Meditating on your name is living in Benares,
And always living there , they daily tell for the sake of salvation,
To those people who are interested in salvation,
The THaraka manthra of “Rama, Rama” so that they will know ,
The essence Of God as a result of that teaching ,
And that Lord Shiva lives there always.
Paramathmvu , parabrahmam ninthiruvadi,
Parameswaran aayatharinju vazhi pole,
Moodanmaar bhava thathwam yengine ariyunnu,
Moodi pogayaal Maha mayaa mohandakare,
Ramabhadraya Paramathmane Namo nama,
Ramachandraya Jagat sakshine Namo nama,
Pahi mam Jagannadha , Pahi maam Dhayanidhe ,
Nin maha maya devi yenne mohipiceedaika ,
Ambuja vilochana , santhatham namaskaram.
You are the divine soul and the greatest god,
And Lord Shiva knowing this does this,
How can fools understand your principle,
For it is covered by the darkness of great illusion,
Salutation and salutation to great god and Ramabhadra,
Salutation and salutation to Ramachandra , the witness of the world,
Please save me lord of universe , Please save me treasure of mercy,
Let your goddess of great illusion does not bewilder me ,
Oh God with lotus like eyes , My salutations always to you.
Itham arthichu bhakthyaa sthuthichu Gandarvanodu ,
Uthama purushnaam devanum arul cheythu,
“SAnthushtanaayen , Bhavan mal padam prapichalum,
Sthanam may sanathanam yogeendra gamyam para-
Manandam prapikka nee mal prasadathaaledo,
Athraymalla punar onnu anugrahippan Jnan,
Yistotram bhakthyaa japicheedunna janangalkkum ,
Mukthi sambhavicheedumilla janangalkkum,
Mukthi sambhavicheedumilla samsayamethum,
Bhakthanaam ninakku adhapathanam mini varaa.”
To the Gandharwa who told like this and prayed to him,
That God who was a man with good qualities told,
“By your prayer and great devotion I have become happy ,
Oh great Gandharwa, Please attain my world,
Which is a primeval position where great yogis want to go,
And go there with great joy due to my grace ,
Not only that I also want to bless again,
Those devotees who are going to chant this prayer,
That without any doubt they will get salvation,
And to you my devotee, there is no downward trend.”
Ingane varam vangi kkondu Gandarwa sreshtan,
Mangalam varuvaanaai thozhuthu cholledinaan,
“Mumbil ammaru kaanaam mathangasramam thathra,
SAmprathi vasikkunnu SAbari thapawini,
Thwal padambhuja bhakthi kondetham pavithrayai ,
Yeppozhum bhavaneyum dhyanichu vimukthayai,
Avalechennu kandaal vruthathandam chollum
Aval avanee sutha thanne labhikkum ningalkennal .”
After getting such a boon that great Gandharwa,
And after saluting told like this with aim to bring auspiciousness,
“ In front of you in the forest is the hermitage of Matanga,
There now lives Sabari who is a lady sage ,
And she is pure, due to great devotion to your lotus feet,
And she spends all her time thinking about you and has got rid of attachments,
If you go and see her she will tell you the story,
Which will lead to the finding of Sita Devi.”
