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.

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
