Sri Ramachandra Kripalu Bhajuman – Tulsidas
श्रीरामचंद्र कृपालु भजु मन हरण भवभय दारुणं,
नवकंज लोचन, कंजमुख कर, कंज पद कंजारुणं.
Shri Raamachandra Kripaalu Bhaju Man Harana Bhavabhaya Dhaarunam
Navakanja Lochana Kanjamukha Kara Kanja Padha Kanjaarunam [1]
Oh Mind, worship Shri Ramachandra who removes the fear of birth, death and other perils. The Lords eyes, face, hands and legs are like freshly blossomed lotus.
कंदर्प अगणित अमित छवि नव नील नीरज सुन्दरम,
पट पीत मानहु तडित रूचि-शुची नौमी, जनक सुतावरं.
Kandharpa Aganitha Amitha Chavi Nava Neela Neeraja Sundharam
Pata Peetha Maanahu Thaditha Ruchi-Shuchi Naumi Janaka Suthaavaram [2]
Oh Mind, worship Shri Ramachandra whose beauty is unparallel to countless cupids. Whose body is like blue hued cloud. Whose garb gleams like lightning, the one who is married to the daughter of King Janaka.
भजु दीनबंधु दिनेश दानव दैत्य वंष निकन्दनं,
रघुनंद आनंद कंद कोशल चन्द्र दशरथ नंदनम.
Bhaju Dheenabandhu Dhinesha Dhaanava Dhaitya Vansha Nikandhanam
Raghunandha Aanandha Kandha Koshala Chandra Dhasaratha Nandhanam [3]
Oh Mind, worship Shri Ramachandra whose is the upholder of the poor, Lord of the day light, the one who vanquished the demonic races. He is the progency of Raghu, limitless joy, moon of Queen Koushalya and the dearest to King Dasaratha.
सिर मुकुट कुंडल तिलक चारू उदारु अंग विभुशनम,
आजानुभुज शर चाप-धर, संग्राम-जित-खर दूषणं.
Sira Mukuta Kundala Thilaka Chaaru Udhaaru Anga Vibushanam
Aajaanubhuja Shara Chaapadhara Sangrama Jitha Khara Dhushanam [4]
Oh Mind, worship Shri Ramachandra who wears a crown, adorned with ear rings, with thilak on his forehead and who is decorated with ornaments. His arms extend to the knees, who bears a bow and arrow and defeated Khara and Dhushana in the battle.
इति वदति तुलसीदास, शंकर शेष मुनि-मन-रंजनं,
मम ह्रदय कंज निवास कुरु, कामादि खल-दल-गंजनं.
Ithi Vadhathi Tulasidhaasa Shankara Sesha Muni Mana Ranjanam
Mama Hrudhya Kanja Nivaasa Kuru Kaamaadhi Khala Dhala Ganjanam [5]
Tulsidas proclaims, O! Lord Ramachandra, you have filled the hearts of Lord Shiva, Adisesha and Saints with bliss. Please reside in my heart and expurgate the inferior feelings of impurities like ‘kama’ craving desire, ‘krodha’ anger, ‘lobha’ greed, ‘moha’ obsession, madha ‘conceit’ and matsaryam ‘jealousy’.
