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.”

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.

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,

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,

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

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.

But long , long ago, the lord  of the universe, The God Rama,
Who has a lotus like eyes, Who is blessed with divine joy,
After killing Ravana with ten  heads who defeated several devas,
Reached Ayodhya immediately along with his brother  and wife,
And  immediately crowned himself as the king of Ayodhya.
He who has the purest of souls , the God of all ,
The Lord who does not change,
Who was being served by friends and their sons,
By the group of several type of friends,
By greatly pure people , by the brother valorous heroes,
By Lord Bharatha son of Kaikeyi , By Vibheeshana,
And by  Vasishta the son of Lord Brahma and other  sages,
And who Shined  with a luster which was equivalent to billions of suns,
Heard the stories which are famous in this world  and became very happy,
Along with his Wife Janaki who was Maya devi ,
And while he was sitting on the golden throne studded with purest of great gems,
That Lord of divine joy , saw Hanuman the son of air who was standing there ,
Saluting him  and that merciful god  smilingly  saw Sita  and told her ,
“Hey pretty one , are you not seeing Hanuman?
He is always  within me and you,  always without fail,
With his mind filled  with the division less devotion.”

Dhanye , santhatham pramathma jnathe  ozhi-,
Chu onnilum oru  neram aasayaum illayallo.
Nirmalan athma jnathinnivan pathramathre,

Chinmaye, Jaganmaye , sanmaye Maayamaye,
Brahmopadesathinnu  durlabham  pathramivan,
Brahma Jnanarthigalil uthamothamanado.

Great one , he does not have any desire for,
Anything except  the knowledge of the divine God.
He is pure and deserves to be given knowledge about soul,
As he has no attachment and is  forever first among Brahmacharis(Bachelor),
Please understand that he does not have any stains,
And so without hesitating please tell what is in your mind,
Oh divine one, Oh one who spreads all over , One who is only goodness ,
And one  who is completely  filled with illusion,
He is fit to be taught about the knowledge of Brahmam,
For among those who seek that knowledge he is the first.

Sri Rama devan yevam  arulicheytha neram,
Maruthi thanne  vilichu aruli cheythu devi,
“Veeranmaar choodum magudathil nayaka kalle,

Nirvikarathma Rama devan yennarinjalum.

When at that time after Sri Rama told  like this,
The Goddess called Hanuman and told him thus,
“The leading stone of the crown worn by valorous heroes,
The greatest among devotees of Rama , please hear what I say,
Please decide  within your mind that God  Rama is the,
The divine joy , the one and only one , one who does not have a second , the divine Brahmam,
The one who does not move, One who is not attached to anything, One who is only essence,
And that thing which cannot be known in spite of determination,
You please understand that this  God Rama  is pure , without stains,
One without properties , one who is  not having any feelings,
One who does only good , One who is peaceful , One who is the divine soul, one who is forever happy,
A thing which does not have any birth or death  and he is the divine Brahmam.
Please understand that God Rama  is the cause of all , one who is spread everywhere, one who is the soul of all,
One who is everything , One who is the God of all, one who is witness of all, one who is forever,
One who is everything and basis of all  , one who is spread in all gods and a without sensations.

Yennude thathwam ini  chollidaam ulla vannam,
Ninnodu  jnaan than moola prakrurthi aayathdo.
Yennude pathiyaa  paramathmavu  thande,
Sannidhi mathram kondu jnaniva srushtikkunnu.

Now I would tell you  the principle of mine in real terms,
To you I have become  the primeval causal  basis,
And my husband  who is the divine  God
Allows me to create  anything just by his presence.

Thath sannidhyam  konndennal srushtamama avayellam,
Thath swaroopathil aakkedunnu  mooda janam,

Sidha sankalpanaaya Kousika muniyodum,
Maithili rajyathinai kondu  pokunna neram,
Gowathama pathniyayor  Ahalya sapam theerthu,

All those which have been created by me due to his presence,
Are understood by foolish people  as the real divine form,
Not understanding that his form does not have any birth ,
For only those who have realized him will  know About it.
In this earth , in the clan of the sun God   , in Ayodhya,
The God of all  was born in the form of Sri Rama,
And for killing Asuras  who eat  flesh of humans,
When he went along   with sage Viswamithra,
He killed on his way  the  very bad Thadaga ,
Who approached him with anger  and saved,
The hermitage of the  sage  and also protected the Yaga(fire sacrifice),
And accompanied  the very great sage called Koushika ,
To the kingdom of Mithila  and on the way,
Ended the curse of Ahalya who was the wife of sage Gauthama,

Pada pankajam thozhuthavale  anugrahicchu,
Aadhara poorvam  Mithila puram akam pukku,
Muppura vairiyude chapavum murichudan,
Mal pani grahanavum cheythu  porunna neram,
Mulpukku thaduthoru  Bhargava Raman thande,
Darpavum adakki Vanpodu ayodhyayum pukku,

Vruthraripuram  pukka vruthantham ketta sesham,
Chintha sokathodu udhaka kriyadhikal cheythu ,
Bhakthanaam Bharathane ayachu rajyathinnayi,

After blessing her who saluted his lotus like feet
He entered the town of Mithila with all respect ,
And then broke  the bow  of the enemy of three cities(shiva),
And then married me   and when he was returning,
Lord Parasurama came before him and prevented him,
And he destroyed his pride  and entered the city of Ayodhya,
And lived there happily for another twelve years,
And at that time his father made arrangements for his coronation,
And due  to this being prevented by his mother Kaikeyi,
Along with his brother Lakshmana, the son of Sumithra,
He reached Chithrakoota and during that time,
His father expired and entered the city of death,
And hearing this with mind full of sorrowful thoughts,
He performed the after death rites and sent,
His devotee Bharatha  to rule the kingdom.

When he entered Dandakaraya forest ,
He killed Viradha and visited Agasthya born out of a pot,
And he promised  before  the learned men and sages ,
That soon he would completely decimate the clan of Rakshasas,
And then he entered Pancha vati  and when he was living there,
Soorpanaka  the sister of the Lord of Rakshasas,
Came In the grip of the arrow shot by the God of love,
And Lakshmana  cut off  her nose,
And this made the highly placed Khara angry,
And he came to fight with  fourteen thousand Rakshasas,
But they were all killed within  one and half hours time,
And later Soorpanakha  went to Ravana and told him about this,
And Rama gave salvation to Mareecha by using an arrow,
When he  came in deceit  as a deer made of gold,
And after Ravana went away taking the duplicate illusory Sita,
That man of illusion gave salvation to the bird Jatayu,
And later went and later gave Salvation to Kabandha ,
Who came taking  the  form of a Rakshasa,
And later he went and saw Sabari,
And accepted  the worship by her ,
And he entered  the banks of river Pampa,
And there he saw you and along with you ,
He saw Sugreeva the son of  Sun god,
And signed a treaty of friendship with him,
And killed Bali the son of Indra who was the enemy of Vruthra.

Later they searched for Sita in the southern ocean,
Built a bridge, destroyed Lanka  and later ,
Killed  the enemy Ravana  who came ready for war ,
Along with his sons , friends, mothers  and servants
Using an arrow  and saved  the three worlds,
And later crowned  his devotee  Vibheeshana.

Poojyanai irunnu arul eedinnaam jagan nadhan.

I who had taken to hiding inside the fire,
Was brought out making the world agree on my purity,
And riding the Pushpaka  which was made by the rays of the sun,
And after taking  permission of the  devas also,
The lord of the world crowned himself  as the king of Ayodhya,
And remained worshipped by devas and others.

“He is the Narayana addressed by Yajnas and he grants ,
Salvation to those  who are devoted to him , he is without any stains,
He always makes  all actions of his to be performed by me who is his Maya devi,
And he is the teacher of the world Rama who is without properties,
He is the mind catcher of the world, one without change, One who is many,
One whose soul is joy, The one who entertains the soul, one who does not have second,
Divine one , one who does not have stains, One who is a garden to the bee like learned ones,
One who is firm, One who is peaceful, God Narayana
One who is beyond going  , sitting, becoming wonderstruck or becoming sad,
A soul without feelings, One shining  whole which arrows cannot pierce ,
And he would not do any action at any time ,One who is pure, One who does not change with time,
A collection of joy  , a divine being , one who is full of illusion, and he makes ,
His illusory consort do the job and make it appear as if he has done it,
Because I completely obey his conduct  of illusion.”

“Paramathmavakunna  bimbathin prathi bimbam,
Parichil kanunnathu Jeevathmavarikedo.”

After the philosophy of the existence of Rama,
Was explained  by Goddess Sita to the son of Anjana
Lord Rama with a pretty smile told him,
“ The souls that  we all see is but the refection,
Of the form of the divine soul that exists everywhere.”

Oh great monkey , My lustrous illusion ,
Without any doubt has the image in you,
Like in each and every lake , the great sky ,
Can be directly seen by you ,  and similar to that,
The real Divine Brahmam , the  form for which.
The divine God is himself the witness is very stable, my friend,
You should understand the principle behind me,
By the great Vedic sayings like “You are That”,
And my devotee  due to the grace of Guru,
When he understands this , without any doubt,
Would reach me  and my form.

“Mad bhakthi vimukhanmaar  Sasthra garthangal thorum,

“Those who are not interested in my devotion , jump ,
Into all places  where   science is mentioned and love that place ,
To those who do not have devotion, even after hundred thousand births,
They would not get  knowledge of philosophy and salvation,
Do not inform  those men who do not have devotion to me,
This fact which has been told by me as God anytime.
There is no divine  advice  which is  above this.”
Thus Lord Shiva  told Goddess Parvathi,
About the greatness of Rama , which is holy and held as great secret,
And which was told by the real Lord Rama himself  to the son of wind god,
And it leads to salvation , it destroys sins , that which starts killing of darkness of the heart,
And which is the meaning of all Vedanthas, And is the principle behind Lord Rama.
All these  divine words which were taught  to lord Hanuman,
If read by  a man always  along with great devotion,
Without any doubt   will set him free.

Rama namathe japicheedugil devakalaal,
Aamodha poorvam  poojyanai varum athra yalla,
TYogeendranmaaraal  polum alabhyamaya Vishnu,
Lokathe praapicheedum,  illa samsayamethum.

Great problems like Brahma hathya , even though,
They have been earned  in several of your births.
Would all get destroyed , told  Lord Rama,
To the  great Monkey  and is it not the truth.
Even though  he is a Man who is hated in his clan , one who steals other women and money,
Sinner, killer of mother , killer of father, one who kills Brahmins,
One who does crime to groups of yogis, one who steals gold , bad man,
And one who is found fault by the entire world ,
If he chants the name of Rama  with devotion,
He would be worshipped by the gods with respect,
And not only that  for he would reach the land of Vishnu,
Which is even difficult to get for kings among  those who sacrifice ,
And there is absolutely no doubt in that.

தொந்தி சரிய மயிரே வெளிறநிரை
     தந்த மசைய முதுகே வளையஇதழ்
          தொங்க வொருகை தடிமேல் வரமகளிர் ...... நகையாடி

 

With  paunch  hanging  , with  hair  becoming white

With  row  of teeth   shaking,  with  back  bending,

With  lips  hanging and walking  holding a stick   with one hand

With  girls  laughing at us

தொண்டு கிழவ னிவனா ரெனஇருமல்
     கிண்கி ணெனமு னுரையே குழறவிழி
          துஞ்சு குருடு படவே செவிடுபடு ...... செவியாகி

 

With cough   telling a preface  that  you are extremely  old,

By  sounding like a bell, with  voice   shuddering ,

With eyes  fading  and our  becoming blind

With   ears  becoming  very , very deaf

வந்த பிணியு மதிலே மிடையுமொரு
     பண்டி தனுமெ யுறுவே தனையுமிள
          மைந்த ருடைமை கடனே தெனமுடுக ...... துயர்மேவி

 

With diseases  affecting  and   interfering  in  between,

With doctor suffering to cure us and

With  young children   enquiring  about  our liabilities and assets

With great  sorrow

மங்கை யழுது விழவே யமபடர்கள்
     நின்று சருவ மலமே யொழுகவுயிர்
          மங்கு பொழுது கடிதே மயிலின்மிசை ...... வரவேணும்

 

The wife crying and falling on you   and  emissaries

Of God  of death  struggling  to take  your soul,

And  when the soul  is going out  , riding on a  peacock  , he   should come

எந்தை வருக ரகுநா யகவருக
     மைந்த வருக மகனே யினிவருக
          என்கண் வருக எனதா ருயிர்வருக ...... அபிராம

 

Oh father  come  , Oh Raghunayaka   come

Oh child   come, Oh son   you come now

Oh my darling come, Oh My   darling soul come-Oh Abhirama

இங்கு வருக அரசே வருகமுலை
     யுண்க வருக மலர்சூ டிடவருக
          என்று பரிவி னொடுகோ சலைபுகல ...... வருமாயன்

 

Please  come here, Oh king  please come,

You  can  feed milk from me , please  come, wearing   flowers  you please come,

Like  this when Kausalya  said  the god  does come

சிந்தை மகிழு மருகா குறவரிள
     வஞ்சி மருவு மழகா அமரர்சிறை
          சிந்த அசுரர் கிளைவே ரொடுமடிய ...... அடுதீரா

                                                                                                                                                    

The nephew who  makes the lord Vishnu  happy, The pretty one

Who is hugged  by  Valli  of Kuravar clan, the one 

Who fought to destroy  all asuras   who jailed  devas, the greatly brave one

திங்க ளரவு நதிசூ டியபரமர்
     தந்த குமர அலையே கரைபொருத
          செந்தி னகரி லினிதே மருவிவளர் ...... பெருமாளே.

 

The  son given by Shiva who wore crescent  , river and the serpenr

 In Thiruchendur    where   waves dash against  the shore where  he lived

He is the God   who sat   there  with great  joy , oh lord
