Show Details		1. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – the Lord of the town of Ayodhya, the peerless consort of Lakshmi.

2. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – the moon risen in the ocean of the heart of those from whom desires have fled, the consort of Bhu-devi.

3. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – the hurricane that drives away the clouds of sins of devotees, the spotlessly pure.

4. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – the Sun who destroyed (dispelled) the darkness of grief of Garuda – son of Vinata, the Lord who casues auspiciousness.

5. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – worshipped by Indra - the Lord of celestials, the Lord for whom quarters is the garment (or sky-clad), the Lord for whom consciousness or intellect is the garment.

6. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – the blessed Lord who bestows freedom from fear to the reverential celestials, the Lord Raghava.

7. O My Mind! Ponder about Sri Rama – whose sacred Lotus Feet are worshipped Thyagaraja, the ever benefactor (of His devotees).

[edit] Commentary

  • 1kalA dhara – This means both ‘moon’ and ‘Lord Siva’. However, in the present context, ‘moon’ is appropriate.
