Sri Ramachandra Kripalu Bhajamana

Shriramachandra kripalu bhaju mana haran bhavabhai darunam,

Navakanja-lochana, kanjamukha, kara kanja pada kanjarunam

O my heart! Sing praises of Sri Ram, who absolves the greatest fears due to the cycle of life and death, and whose eyes, mouth, hands, and feet are like a newly blooming red lotus.

Kandarpa aganita amit chavinava neel-neeraja sundaram,

Pata peet manahu tadita ruchi shuchi noumi, janaka sutavaram 

I bow to Sri Ram, whose beauty cannot be compared with that of the cupid Kamdev, 

Whose pleasing appearance is beyond any measures, whose body is like a newly formed dense blue cloud, whose yellow robes are shining like lightning (on His cloud like body), whose beauty is gleaming, and who is the consort of the daughter of Janak (Sita).

Bhaju deenbandhu dinesh danav-daitya-vansha-nikandanam,

Raghu anandakand koshalachandra dasharath-nanadanam 

Sing praises of Sri Ram, who is the friend of the poor, who is the Lord of Sun, who expurgated the lineage of demons from Danu and Diti, who is the dear one of Raghu, who is like a cloud of happiness, who is like a moon for Kausalya, and who is dear one of Dashrath.

Sira mukuta kundala tilaka charu udaru anga vibhushanam,

Aajaanubhuja shara-chaapa-dhara, sangrama-jita-khara dushanam 

Sing praises of Sri Ram, who has a beautiful crown on His head, who is adorned with ear-hoops, who has a beautiful colored mark (tilak) on His forehead, who has arms decorated by ornaments, who has strong hands, who holds a bow and an arrow, and who defeated Khar and Dushan in a fierce battle.

Tulsidas says this: Ram, the enticer of Shiv, Shesh (Sheshnag), and saints, reside in my lotus-like-heart and destroy the evils generated by desire.
