Sage Rishyasringa performed a fire sacrifice in Kosala,
Called Puthra kameshti, and gave the potent payasam,
Arising out of the sacrificial fire to king Dasratha,
And eating that payasam his three queens became pregnant,
And later you were born as Rama along with ,
Bharatha, Lakshmana and Shatrugna to these queens,
Fulfilling the word given to devas to kill Ravana. 34.1

Oh God , with the permission of your father , you along with Lakshmana,
Armed with a bow went along with sage Viswamithra to protect his fire sacrifice,
And due to the two chants taught by the sage you did not have any travel problems,
And as per the words of the sage you killed Thadaga for the good of mankind,
And you reached his hermitage along with several divine arrows given by the saint. 34.2

Dasakam: 034 -- Shlokam: 03

In the beginning of the fire sacrifice you drove away Mareecha with your arrows,
And later killed other asuras and on the way you liberated Ahalya from her curse,
And reaching the city of Mithila , you broke the bow of Lord Shiva,
And married Sita who was really Goddess Lakshmi but was the daughter of earth,
And returned back to your country after marriage along with your brothers and their wives. 34.3

Dasakam: 034 -- Shlokam: 04

After the very angry Parsurama stopped you on the way and gave you his own luster,
You reached Ayodhya , Oh pretty Lord and lived in your palace with Sita happily,
And when Bharatha with Shathrugna had gone to his uncle’s house for a stay,
When your father wanted to celebrate your coronation,
It so happened that it was prevented by the daughter of king of Kekaya. 34.4

Dasakam: 034 -- Shlokam: 05

You along with Sita and Lakshmana went to the forest ,
So that the word of your father is honoured and obeyed,
And you stopped the citizens of Ayodhya who followed you,
And reached the place of Guha and wearing matted locks and tree hide,
You crossed the river Ganges and on the way saluted sage Bharadwaja,
And according to his advice you lived happily on the great Chithrakoota mountains. 34.5

Dasakam: 034 -- Shlokam: 06

You became sad when Bharatha told that your father died due to son’s separation,
And gave libations of water to your late father
And gave your slippers and country to Bharatha,
And later you went and saluted sage Athri and then went to the wide Dandakaranya,
And on your way killed the asura called Viradha and later Oh God,
You saw the happy end of sage Sharabha and granted him salvation. 34.6

Then later you went and met sage Agasthya and saluted him, and took an oath,
To kill all the hoards of Rakshasas so that the sages can live without problems,
And from the saint received the bow of Vishnu as well as Brahmastra,
And on the way met Jatayu the eagle , who was the best friend of your father,
And happily lived with Sita in Panchavai on the banks of Godavari river. 34.7

You who are having the never tiring power , unable to tolerate Soorpanaka,
Who came there with entreaties of love , send her to your brother Lakshmana,
And the very angry Lakshmana cut her nose off and you fought ,
With Khara Dhoosha, Trisiras and more than ten thousand Rakshasas,
Who became angry because of the taking away of prettiness of Soorpanaka,
And you killed them all without effort instantly. 34.8

Hearing the news from his sister , Ravana who was full of anger and passion,
Went and met Mareecha and according to his wish , Mareecha appeared,
As a magical deer in front of your hermitage and when Sita wanted the deer,
You chased the deer and killed him, and hearing him shout in deceptive voice for help,
Sita sent your brother to help you and Ravana abducted Sita ,
And knowing that though you became sad , but realizing that,
An opportunity and motive to kill Ravana has come, you were happy. 34.9

Then , when you were going in search of Sita , and when Jatayu breathed his last,
Telling you that Ravana killed him when he tried to prevent abduction of Sita,
You did after death ceremonies for that great friend , and later killed Kabandha,
Who attempted to catch both of you and eat you both ,
And then visiting Shabhari who was your devotee , you met Hanuman,
Who was the son of wind God on the banks of Pampa and became,
Happy because you got his help , Oh Lord of Guruvatyur , please protect me. 34.10

After meeting with Hanuman , through him you entered in to treaty with Sugreeva,
Threw the skeleton of the asura called Dhundhubhi by using the thumb of your feet,
And then just by one arrow put a hole in the seven sala trees with one trial,
And later you killed the very powerful Bali who tried to kill Sugreeva,
By very unfair means of hiding behind a tree by using an arrow,
And later you suffered and spent the entire rainy season without Sita’s company,
Near to the hermitage of the saint called Matanga 35.1

Dasakam: 035 -- Shlokam: 02

Later after getting scared by the harsh and angry words of your brother Lakshmana,
Sugreeva summoned the monkey army to search for your wife Sita and when they all,
Saluted at your feet and when they were about to start for the search,
You were happy and gave your signet ring and sent a message through Hanuman,
And those monkeys underwent great difficulties in search of your wife Sita. 35.2

As per the words of Sampathi ,who got back his wings when he heard your story,
That Hanuman jumped and crossed the ocean , saw Sita in the city of Lanka,
Gave her your ring, destroyed Asoka garden , killed Akshaya kumara in war ,
Suffered the ties of Brahmastra , met Ravana , burnt the entire Lanka,
And speedily came before you and gave you the hair brooch of Sita. 35.3

Then you along with ,great monkeys like Sugreeva and Angadha and an army,

And speedily Garuda came there and released both of you from the bondage. ,

For if this is otherwise, Oh God who holds the holy wheel,
How can there be sorrow in your mind which is full of divine joy?
And Oh virtuous lord of Guruvayur , please cure my diseases. 35.10
