O Protector of those who have sought Your refuge! O Protector of the celestials! O Lord (splendour of) whose face vanquishes the moon! O Lord Sri Rama who, as soon as Vibhishana sought Your refuge, without considering that he is the brother of the sworn enemy of celestials and ascetics, declaring Your (and Your race’s) appellations, made him the King of the City of Lanka! 2. O Lord whose feet are worshipped by the celestials! O Lord Sri Rama who bestowed the divine sight on these nine persons - Parvati – daughter of Mountain, Satrughna – the vanquisher of enemies, Lord Siva, Lakshmana – son of sumitrA, Sita – daughter of Earth, Anjaneya – son of Wind God, Sugriva – son of Sun, Vibhishana – younger brother of Ravana – the ten faced - and Bharata, when they prayed to You being unable to behold Your divine form! 3. O Lord whose feet are red like lotus! O Gale which blows away the clouds called the demons! O the Most Eminent of the dynasty of Sri Raghu! O Lord of Wonderful virtues! O Purifier of the clan of this Tyagaraja endowed with auspiciousness! O Lord Sri Rama who ordained uttering Your name - carrier across the Ocean of Worldly Existence, by Lord Siva – one who has eye in the forehead, to the people of this kali age in their ears (at the time of death at Kasi)! |
