4.15 Swayam Prabha Sthuthi from Adhyathma Ramayana (Malayalam)
The prayer of Swayam Prabha
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Yoginiyum guha vasam upekshichu,
Yogesa sannidhi pukkal athi drutham,
Lakshmana Sugreeva sevithanakiya ,
Lakshmeesane kandu kruthwaa pradakshinam,
BHakthya sagadgdam , romancha samyuktham,
Nathwaa muhur muhur sthuthwaa bahu vidham.
The Yogini left off living in the cave ,
And very fast reached in front of God of Yoga,
Who was being served by Lakshmana and Sugreeva,
And seeing the Lord of Lakshmi and after going round him,
With great devotion , with a breaking voice and horripilation,
Again and again saluted him and offered various types of prayers.
“Dasi thavaham Raghu pathe , Rajendra,
Vasudeva , Prabho, Rama , Dhayanidhe ,
Kanmathinnai kondu vannen ivide jnan,
SAmyamillatha Jagalpathe, Sri pathe ,
Jnan anekayiram samvathsaram thava,
Dhyanena nithyam thapassu cheytheedinen,
THwadroopa sandarsanartham thapo bala,
Madyaiva noonam phalitham thapo nidhe.
I am your slave , Oh Lord of Raghu clan, Oh great king,
Oh Vasudeva , Oh Lord , Oh Rama , Oh treasure of mercy,
I have come here to see you,
Oh Lord who does not have an equal , Oh Lord of Lakshmi ,
I did penance for several thousands of years,
By meditating on you for seeing you ,
The effect of my penance bore fruit today, Oh treasure of penance.
Adhyanayoru bhavantham namasyami ,
Vedhyanalla aaralume bhavan nirnayam,
Anthar bahi sthitham sarva bhootheshwapi,
Santhamalakshya madhyantha heenam param,
Maya yavanika channannai Vazhunna,
Maya mayanaya Manusha vigrahan,
Ajnanikllaal arinju koodathoru,
Vijnana morthiyallo Bhavan kevalam.
I salute you who is primeval,
It is definite that nobody can understand you,
Though you stay in and out of every being,
You are divine and are not visible to any one,
For you are living inside the screen of illusion,
You are pervaded with illusion and have a human form,
And you are one who cannot be understood by the ignorant,
For you are the form of great wisdom .
Janma rana bheethanaam adarsanam,
Sanmarga darsanam , Vedantha darsanam,
Puthr kalathra mithra artha vibhoothi kondu,
Yethrayum darpitha rayulla manushan,
Rama Ramethi Jappikayil yennume ,
Rama Namam may Japikkai varename ,
Nithyam nivrutha guna thraya maargaaya,
Nithyaya nishkinchanarthaaya they nama ,
Swathmabhiramaya nirgunaya,
Trigunathmane Sitabiramaya they nama.
You cannot be seen by those who are afraid of birth and death,
You show the good way , you show the way of Vedantha,
Those men who suffer due to the attachment ,
To son, wife , friend, wealth never chant your name Rama, Rama,
Oh God make me chant your name “Rama, Rama”
Vedathmakam kama roopina meesaanam,
Aadhimadhyantha vivarjitham sarvathra ,
Manye samam charantham poorusham param,
Ninne ninakozhinjarkku arinjidavu?
Marthya vidambhanam deva , they cheshtitham,
Chithe niroopil yenthariyavathum.
The soul of Veda , The god who can have any desired form ,
Who does not have beginning or end , Who always,
Acts in a similar way , the divine Purusha ,
Who else but you fully know about you?
Your sports is to imitate human beings,
And by thinking who can know about you,
Thwan maayayaa pihithathmaakkal kanunnu,
Chinmayanaya bhavane bahu vidham,
Janmavum karthruthwavum cheruthillatha,
NIrmalathmaavaam bhavan avasthanthare ,
Deva thiryang manujadhikalil ,
Janichevam aadhyangalaam karmangal cheyvathum ,
Nin maha maya vidambanam nirnayam,
Kalmasha heenaa , Karuna nidhe , vibho.
Due to your illusion the ordinary people see you.
Who has a divine form in various other forms,
You who do not have even little birth or duty ,
Who is the pure entity due to circumstances,
Are born as a deva, animal or man,,
Carry out the duty of that form,
Who can understand your great deeds of illusion,
Oh God without defects , treasure of mercy , oh Lord.
Medhini thannil vichithra veshathodum,
Jathanai karmangal cheyunnathum Bhavan,
Bhaktharayulla janangalkku nithyavum,
Thwal kadhaa peeusha pana sidhikkennu,
Chollinithu , chilar , mathu chilar iha,
Chollinnuthu bhuvi kosala bhoopathi,
Thannude ghora thapo bala sidhaye ,
Nirnayam yennu , chilar parayunnithu ,
Kousalyayal prarthyamananayittiha ,
Maithili bhagya sidhikennuthu chilar ,
Srushtavu than apekshikkayyal vanniha ,
Dushta nisachara vamsam odukkuvaan,
Marthyanaai vannnu pirannithu nirnayam,
Pruthwiyilennu chilar parayunnithu,
Bhopala puthranai vannu pirannithu,
Bhoobhara nasathinnu yennithu chilar,
Dharmathe rakshichu adharmathe neekkuvaan,
Karma sakshi kulathingal pirannithu ,
Deva shatrukkale nigrahichu anbodu ,
Devakale paripalichu kolluvaan,
Yennu chollunnithu divya muni janam ,
Onnum thirichariyavathum alla may.
You are the one born in this earth with
peculiar ,
Form and also doing duties,
Some people say that this is for the sake ,
Of your devotes so that they can hear ,
Daily your nectar like stories and get benefit,
Some other people are saying that it ,
Is because of the great penance ,
Which was done by the king of Kosala,
Some say it is due to great prayer of Kousalya,
Some say it is for the sake of Sita’s luck,
Some say that it is due to the request of Lord Brahma,
For destroying the clans of the bad Rakshasas,
That you were born as a human being ,
Definitely in this world , some say ,
That you were born as a son to the king,
For reducing the burden of this earth,
But the holy sages say that ,
You are born to protect the Dharma,
And to destroy Adharma , in the clan,
Of Lord Sun and also to kill all the enemies of devas ,
And to protect the devas and I do,
Not know which of these is correct.
Yathoruthan thwal kadakal chollunnathum,
AAdaravode kelkkunnathum nithyamai,
Noonam bhavarnavathe kadanneduvon,
Kanamavannu nin pada pangeruham,
Thwan maha maya guna badhayakayaal,
Chinmayamaya bhavad swaroopathe jnan,
Engineyulla vannam arinjeedunnathu,
Yengine cholli sthuthikunnathumham.
He who tells your story and
He who hears it with respect ,
Definitely will cross the sea of birth and death,
And he would be able to see your lotus feet,
Since my nature is tied up by your great illusion,
In what way will I be able to understand ,
Your divine form , and what words,
Should I use to pray you?
Shyamalam komalam bana dhanurdharam,
Ramam sahodara sevitham Raghavam,
Sugreva mukhya kapi kula sevitham,
Agre bhavantham namasyami sampratham,
Ramaya rama bhadraya namo nama,
Ingane cholli Swayam prabhayum veenu,
Mangala vachaa namaskaricheedinaal ,
Mukthi pradanaya Raman prasannanai ,
Bhakthyaam yoginyodu arul cheythu,
“Santhushtanaayen aham thava bhakthi kondu,
Yenthonnu manase kamkshitham chollu nee “
Yennathu kettavalum paranjeedinaal,
“Innu vannu mama Kamkshithamokkave.
Black, pretty holding a bow and arrow ,
Is Rama who is served by his brother ,
Is served by Sugreeva and other monkey chiefs,
Is standing before me and I salute him now
“ Salutations to Rama who is Rama Bhadra”,
Telling like this Swayam prabha fell,
At his feet telling auspicious greetings.
Rama who can grant salvation was pleased,
And told “ I have become happy due to your devotion,
Please tell what you desire in your mind.”
And hearing this she told,
“Today I have realized all my desires.”
Yathra kuthrapi vasikkilum thwalpada,
Bhakthikilakkam undakathirikkanam,
Thwal pada bhaktha bhoothyeshu Sangam punar,
Ulpoovil yeppozhum undagayum venam,
Prakruthanmaaraam janangalil sangamam ,
Yekadhaa sambhavicheedayka manase,
Rama ramethi japikkai varename ,
Rama pade ramikkanm yen manasam.
Wherever I live and whatever period I live,
My devotion to you should be firm,
And I should have good relations always,
With all those who are devoted to your feet,
And if by chance I happen to be in the company of vulgar people,
I should chant “Rama, Rama” , in my mind ,
And my mind should get pleased with feet of Rama.
Sita sumithrathmajanvitham Raghavam,
Peetha vasthram , chapa banasana dharam,
Charu makuta kataka katee Suthra,
Hara , makara mani maya kundala ,
Noopura Hemangadhadhi vibhooshana,
Shobhitha roopam vasikka may manase ,
Mathenikkethume vendaa varam vibho,
Pathaika dussangam ullil orikkalum.
Let my mind be occupied always with ,
Raghava along with Sita and son of Sumithra,
Wearing yellow cloth , holding bow and arrows,
Wearing pretty crown, bangles , waist belt ,
Garland , gem studded fish like ear stud,
Anklet and other ornaments of gold,
Who has a shining form and ,
I do not want any other boon,
And also let me not fall in bad company.
Sri Rama devanathu kettu avalodu ,
Charu mandasmittham poondaruli cheythu,
“Yevam bhavikka ninakku Maha bhage,
Devi, nee poka badaryasrama sthale,
Thathraiva nithyam yenne dhyanam cheythu,
Mukthwaa kalebharam Pancha bhoothathmakam,
Cherumengil pramathmani kevale,
Theerum janana marana dukhangalum.”
Sruthwaa Raghthama vakhyamrutham mudaa,
Gathwaa THadaiva Bhadarasrama sthale ,
Sri Rama dewvane dhyanichirunnudan,
Narayana padam prapichathavyayam.
Hearing that , that God Rama with a pretty smile,
Told her, oh great lady, let that happen to you,
Lady , you please go to Badri asram ,
And there daily meditate on me ,
Leave out this body made of five elements,
And you will definitely join with God ,
And that will bring to an end your sorrow of birth and death,”
Hearing these nectar like words of Rama ,
She immediately went to Badari asram,
And when she meditated there on god Rama,
She joined the perennial feet of Narayana
