Viradha Sthuthi from Adhyathma Ramayanam , malayalam

Viradha Sthuthi from Adhyathma Ramayanam , malayalam


Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander


(AS soon as the  enter the  DAndakaranya forestr  , they meet a Rakshasa  called Viradha.  Rama  kills him only to find , he was a Vidhyadhara who was cursed. That Vidhyadhara  prays Lord Rama)




Raghavam pranathathrthi haarinam grunakaram,
Rakendu mukham bhava  bhanjanam  bhaya haram,
Indira Ramana mindeevara  dala shyamam,
Indradhi  vrundaraka vrundha  vandhitha  padam,
Sundaram sukumaaram  sukruthi jana mano ,
Mandiram  Ramachandram  Jagathaam abhiramam,
Vandhichu  danda namaskaravum cheythu  chithanandam,
Pondavan  pinne  sthuthichu thudanginaan.

Wearing golden ornaments  , with luster  of the Sun,
With pretty body , with clean silk cloths, he saluted,
Raghava, one who destroys  sorrows of those  who pray,
One who is merciful, one  who has  the face like moon,
One who destroys cycle of death and birth, one who destroys fear,
The consort of Lakshmi ,one who is black like the petals  of blue lotus,
Whose feet is worshipped   Indra   and  the hoards of devas,
One who is pretty , young , lives in mind of good people,
Ramachandra , one who is pretty every second in the world,
And also saluted by falling on the ground  and with ,
Great happiness  of the mind started praying him.

Sri Rama, Rama,  Rama, Jnan oru Vidhyadharan,
Karunya moorthe , kamala pathe , dharaa pathe,
Durvasavaya  muni thannude  sapathinaal,
Garvithanayoru  rathrincharan aayenallo,
Ninthiruvadiyude  mahathmyam kondu  sapa-,
Bandhavum theernnu  moksham prapichu ninnu nadhaa.

Hey  Sri Rama,  Hey Rama , I  am a Vidhyadhra,
Hey merciful one , Lord of Lakshmi , Lord of the earth,
By the curse  of the great  sage  Durvasa,
I became   a proud   Rakshasa,
And by the greatness  of your honourable self,
I became detached  and also got salvation,  oh my lord.

Santhatham  ini Charanam buja yugam thava,
Chinthikkai varename , manasthinnu bhakthyaa,
Vanikal kondu nama keerthanam cheyyumarakanam,
Panikal kondu charanarchanam cheyyakenam,
Srothrangal kondu Katha sravaam  cheyyakenam,
Nethrangal kondu  rama lingangal kanakenam,
Uthamangena namaskarikkai vaniedenam,
Uthama bhakthanmarkku bruthyanai varenam jnan.

My mind should  think with devotion,
Your  pair   of feet  with great  devotion,
By my voice  I should be able to sing your names,
By my hands  I should be able to offer  flowers at your feet,
By my ears I should be able to hear  your stories,
By my eyes  I should be able to see  statues of Rama,
By my head   I should  be able to bow  and salute you,
And I should  become a servant  to  your true devotees.

“Namasthe Bhagwathe , Jnana moorthaye  nama,
Namasthe    Ramaya, athma ramaya Namo nama,
Namasthe  Ramaya , Sithabhiramaya  nithyam,
Namasthe   Ramaya , lokabhiramaya  nama,
Devalokathinnu pokan anugrahikkenam,
Deva devesa punar onnu apekshichidunnen,
Nin maha devi yennemohipichidaika,
Ambuja vilochana, santhatham Namaskram.”
Ingane vignapithanakiya   Raghunadhan,
Angane thanne  yennu koduthu  varangalum,
“Mukthan yennayekandukittugayilla yenne,
Bhakthi yundaluyudan  mukthiyum labhichedum.”
Ramanodu anujnayum kai kondu Vidhyadharan,
Kamalabhena poyi naka lokavum pukkan,
Ikkadha cholli  sthuthicheedunna purushannu ,
Dushkrtham akannu mokshatheyum prapicheedaam.

“Salutations to god, salutations to the form of wisdom,
Salutations to Rama , salutations and salutations to him whom souls like,
Salutations to Rama , salutations to god who is ever pretty  to Sita,
Salutations to Rama , salutations to  god who always bewitches  the world,
Please  bless  me to go back  to  the world of devas ,
Oh God of gods , I will   request  for one more thing,
Let not your great goddess of illusion  push me in to ignorance,
Oh lotus eyed one , I always salute you.”
Being requested  like this that  God Rama  ,
Said let it be like that  and gave him boons,
“I cannot be seen by one who is detached ,
And when you get devotion, you will get detachment.”
That  Vidhyadhara  took leave   from Rama,
Went to the  deva loka  for fulfilling his wishes,
And   to the man who tells this story  and prays,
Sins would be removed   and he can get salvation.

Rama Sita Thathwam

Rama  Sita thathvam 

(The principle of Rama  and Sita)

FRom Adhyathma Ramayanam- Malayalam

By
SAge Vamadeva

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander




((seeing the  people of Ayodhya are upset at leaning of Rama, sita and  and Sita, Sage Vamadeva who was also a minister of  Dasaratha  , explains to them about  Principle of Rama and Sita

“Ramane chinthichu dukhiyayakaarume,
Komala gathriyaam  Janaki moolavum,
Thathwamayullathu  chollunnathundu jnan,
Chitham thelinju  kettiduvin yevarum.
Ramanakunnathu Sakshal  Mahavishnu,
Tharasaksha  namadhi Narayanan,
Lakshmananathu Ananthan,Janakajaa,
Lakshmi Bhagawathi lokamayaa paraa”

None of you should be sad by thinking of Rama,
And also Due to Janaki who  has a pretty form.
I am now telling you  the principle,
Please hear  with great attention,
Rama is the  real Maha Vishnu,
Who is the primeval  Narayana with lotus eyes,
Lakshmana  is Anantha   and the daughter of Janaka,
Is  the   goddess Lakshmi  who is the illusion of this world.

“Maya gunangale than avalambichu ,
Kaya bhedham dariokkunnathu athma paran,
Rajasamaya    gunathodu koodave,
Rajeeva sambhavanai  prapancha dwayam,
Vyakthamai srushtichu  Sathwa pradhanamai,
Bhaktha parayanan  Vishnu roopam poondu ,
Nithyavum  rakshichu kollannatheaswaran,
Adhyanajan  paramathmavu sadaram.”

Due to the different properties of Maya*(illusion),
The  god assumes   several different forms,
Lord Brahma who was  born out of the lotus ,
Has  the Rajasa property    and created ,
The two worlds  in   a very clear  way,
Assuming  the form of Vishnu ,
Which has predominantly  Sathwa form,
The god , who is divine and is never born,
Always keeps on protecting this world.
              *God does not have any properties
               But illusions  makes us see them.

Rudra veshathil  thamo guna  yukthanai,
Adrija vallabhan  samharikkunnathum,
Vaivasthan manu  bhakthi prasannanai,
Devan makaravatharam anushtichu ,
Vedangalellam  Hayagreevane konnu,
Vedavinaaki  koduthathee  Raghavan.

In the form of Rudra  , with  the thamas property,
That  consort of daughter of mountain destroys.
Becoming pleased with  the devotion of Vaivaswatha  Manu,
 That God  took the incarnation of fish.,
And   he killed  Hayagreeva , and returned ,
Back all  the Vedas  and he is this Rama.

Padho nidhi madane  pandu mandaram,
Pathala okam  pravesichathu neram,
Nishtooramayoru   koormakruthi poondu,
Prushte Girindram  darichathee  Raghavan.
Dushtanayoru  Hiranyakshane konnu,
Gyushtiyai  thetha mel  kshoniy pongichu,
Karana   varidhi thannil  kalichathum,
Karana  purushanakumee  Raghavan.

When the ocean of milk was  being churned,
And when the Mandra mountain entered the nether world,
The one  who took  the form of   a severe form of a tortoise ,
And held  the king of the mountains  on his back , is this Rama,
The one who killed  the  bad  Hiranyaksha,
Taking the form of a boar  and lifted the earth,
 And  played    in the  causal ocean,
Is this Rama who is   this causal man.

Nirhradhamodu  Narasimha roopamai,
Prahladhane  paripalichu kolluvaan,
 Kroorangalaya  nakharangale kondu,
Ghoranayoru  Hiranakasipu than,
Vaksha  pradesam  prapatanam cheythathum,
Raksha chathuranaam  Lakshmivaranivan.

He who took  the form of   the roaring Narasimha,
For looking after his devotee Prahalada ,
And tore the   chest  of the  horrible Hiranyakasipu,
 By using   his cruel nails  is ,
This consort of Lakshmi  who is an expert in saving.

Puthralabhartham athithiyum bhakthi poondu,
Abhyarthichu   sadaramarchikka  karanam,
Yethrayum  karunyamodu aval  thannude ,
Puthranai indranujanai  pirannathi ,
Bhakthamayoru   Mahabaliyodu  chennu,
Abhyarthichiu moonadiyakki jagathrayam,
Sathwaram vangi  maruthwanu  nalgiya ,
Bhaktha priyanaam   trivikaramanum ivan.

When Atithi with great devotion  requested him,
And also worshipped him for the birth of a son,
Along with great mercy , he  who was  born  as ,
Her son and younger  brother  of Indra ,
And went to  his great devotee Mahabali ,
Requested  for three feet of earth,
And measured  the three worlds  in three feet,
And  got  the earth from Mahabali and  gave it  back to Indra ,
As  the Trivikrama  who likes his devotees  is also Rama.

Dathri sura  dweshikalai janichoru,
Dathri pathi kula  nasam  varuthuvaan,
Dathriyil  Bhargavanai pirannathum,
Dathree varanaya  Raghavanam ivan.

For killing  exterminating  of kings,
Who were born as  hater of Brahmins,
The one who was   born as  Parasurama ,
Is this Rama who is the blessing of this world.

Dhatriyilippol  Dasaratha puthranai,
Dathree  suthaa  varanai  piraneedinaan,
Rathinchara  kulamokke  nasippichu ,
Dhatri bharam theerthu  dharmathe  Rakshippan,
Aadhyanajan paramathma  paraparan,
Vedhyanallatha  vedantha vedhyan paran,
Narayanan purushothaman avyayan,
Karana  manushan  Raman Manoharan,
Ravana nigrahartham   vipinathinnu,
Deva hithartham  gamikunnathin,
Karanam mandharayalla , kaikeyiyum alla,
Yellarum bramikkyka   Rajavumallallo,
Vishnu Bhagawan   Jaganmayan madhavan,
Vishnu Maha maya devi janakaja a,
Srushti  sthithi laya  karini thannodum,
Pushta pramodham  purapettathinnippol.

He  has been born as  the son of Dasaratha ,
 And the husband of the  daughter of earth in this world,
For   saving Dharma  by  killing  all the Rakshasas,
And to lighten the burden of this   earth.
He is primeval , not born , divine soul , god of gods,
The divine one who is an expert in Vedas  though not a Brahmin,
Narayana, the greatest  Purusha  , one who does not change,
The causal man ,  Rama, the stealer of the mind,
And  the reason for his  is going today  to the forest,
For killing Ravana   for the sake  of devas,
Is not because  of  Mandhara  nor Kaikeyi  and
None of you get startled, the reason is not even Dasaratha.
The  God  Vishnu  who pervades the earth , the Madhava,
The Vishnu  along with  the daughter of Janaka  ,
The great goddess of illusion  who
Is the one who creates , upkeeps   and destroys,
 Is starting  now   with  excess  of joy.

Innale  Naradan  vannu chonnanavan,
Thannodu  Raghavan  thanum arul cheythu,
“Nakthanjaranvaya  nigrahanathinnu jnan,
Vyaktham  vanathinnu nale  purappedum.”

Dukha soukhyadi  vikalpangal illathatha,
Nishkalan  nirgunathma, Raguthaman,
Nyoonathireka viheenan  niranjanan,
Aananda  poornan  anathan  anakulan,

Yesterday   Narada  came  here  and ,
 Rama told   him  “for killing  of,
The Rakshasas , I will definitely  ,
Start    to the forest  tomorrow”
And from this , please  understand,
That  he is   not sad at going to forest,
And so please do not think of Rama  and be sad,
All of you , please  chant “Rama”, “Rama”,
And  to all those  men who chant “Rama”, “Rama” daily,
There would be no fear  of death  for them and they will get salvation,
And  they  will all  definitely get  these.
He is one who does  not have  sorrow or pleasure,
He does not decay, he is one without  characters,
, He is the great one of Raghu clan ,
The one who does  not have less  or more ,
He is pure , full of joy , endless and consistent.

Anganeyulla   bhagawat  swaroopathil,

Pankthi  rathabheshta  sidhyarthamai,
Pankthi kandan  thanne  konnu  jagatrayam,
Palippathinnai  avatharichedinaan,
 Balisanmaare , Maushyanai easwaran.

How can sorrow   ever come ,
To one   who has a form of God like him,
He was born in this earth  due to the prayer ,
Of his devotees and  he is the lover  of his devotees,
For fulfilling   the desire  of Dasaratha ,
And for  killing  Ravana , and for,
Looking after  the three worlds ,
He has   taken this  incarnation.
Oh simple people , that man has become God.

Rama vishayam  yeevannam arul  cheythu,

After telling  about Rama  like this,
Vamadeva retired from there and,
Afterwards those who drank the nectar  of Vamadeva,
Those citizens knew  that Rama is  only Narayana,
And  al of them were drowned in the ocean of divine joy.
Those who meditate  on this secret of Rama  and Sita,
Again and again  with  utmost joy,
Will get firm devotion towards  God Rama,
And  sorrows of all of them would be destroyed.
I told the   divine  meaning of Rama ,
Which is secret , which should be hidden from others,
 And one  that  would destroy all your sins ,
Thinking that  all lovers of Rama  are  great,
The pain  in the minds of the citizens was destroyed,
And     that great sage also went back with joy.
