**छं०** 
> जय सगुन निर्गुन रूप रूप अनूप भूप सिरोमने।  
> दसकंधरादि प्रचंड निसिचर प्रबल खल भुजबल हने॥  
> अवतार नर संसार भार बिभंजि दारुन दुख दहे।  
> जय प्रनतपाल दयाल प्रभु संजुक्त सक्ति नमामहे॥१॥

**छं०** 
> तव बिषम माया बस सुरासुर नाग नर अग जग हरे।  
> भव पंथ भ्रमत अमित दिवस निसि काल कर्म गुननि भरे॥  
> जे नाथ करि करुना बिलोके त्रिबिधि दुख ते निर्बहे।  
> भव खेद छेदन दच्छ हम कहुँ रच्छ राम नमामहे॥२॥

**छं०** 
> जे ग्यान मान बिमत्त तव भव हरनि भक्ति न आदरी।  
> ते पाइ सुर दुर्लभ पदादपि परत हम देखत हरी॥  
> बिस्वास करि सब आस परिहरि दास तव जे होइ रहे।  
> जपि नाम तव बिनु श्रम तरहिं भव नाथ सो समरामहे॥३॥

> मन बचन कर्म बिकार तजि तव चरन हम अनुरागहीं॥६॥

Meaning: “Hail, Crest-Jewel of kings, incomparable in your beauty; though transcending Māyā and her attributes, you possess innumerable divine attributes. You killed by the might of Your arm fierce, mighty and wicked demons like the ten-headed Rāvaṇa. Appearing in human garb, you crushed the armies that constituted the Earth’s burden and ended her terrible woes. Hail, merciful Lord, Protector of the suppliant! We adore you, the energy personified, alongwith Your Spouse, the vibrant Sītā. (1)

Subject to Your relentless Māyā (deluding potency), O Hari, gods and demons, Nāgas and human beings, nay, all animate and inanimate beings wander day and night endlessly in the path of metempsychosis impelled by Time, Karma (destiny) and the Guṇas (modes of Prakṛti). Those, O Lord, whom You ever regarded with compassion have been rid of the threefold affliction. Protect us, Śrī Rāma, dexterous as You are in putting an end to the toils of mundane existence; we adore You. (2)

Intoxicated with the pride of knowledge, they who respect not Devotion to You, which takes away the fear of transmigration, may climb up to a rank which even gods find it difficult to attain; yet, O Hari, we see them fall from it. On the other hand, they who have abandoned all other hopes and with unbounded faith choose to remain as Your servants, easily cross the ocean of transmigration by merely repeating Your name. It is for this reason, O Lord, that we particularly invoke You. (3)

O Mukunda (Bestower of Liberation), O Rāma, O Lord of Ramā (Lakṣmī), we ever adore Your lotus-feet, which are worthy of adoration to Lord Śiva and the unborn Brahmā, the touch of whose blessed feet’s dust redeemed Ahalyā (the wife of the Sage Gautama), from whose nails flowed the heavenly stream Gaṅgā—which is reverenced even by the sages and sanctifies all the three spheres—and the soles of which, while bearing the marks of a flag, thunderbolt, goad and lotus, are further adorned by scars left by thorns that pricked them in course of Your wanderings in the forest. (4)

We further adore You as the tree of the universe, which, as the Vedas and the Āgamas (Tantras) declare, has its root in the Unmanifest (Brahma) and has existed from time without beginning; which has four coats* of bark, six stems, twenty-five boughs, numberless leaves and abundant flowers; which bears two kinds of fruits–bitter and sweet, which has a solitary creeper clinging to it and which puts on ever fresh foliage and ever new flowers. (5)

* The four states of consciousness, viz., waking life (जाग्रत्), dream (स्वप्न), sound sleep (सुषुप्ति) and the pure impersonal state (तुरीय) are the four coats of bark referred to here; the six states of existence, viz., to be (अस्ति), to come into being (जायते), to undergo transformation (विपरिणमते), to grow (वर्द्धते), to decay (क्षीयते) and to perish (नश्यति), are the six stems; the twenty-five categories of which this world of matter is composed (viz., Prakṛti or Primordial Matter, Mahat or Cosmic Reason, Ahaṅkāra or the Cosmic Ego-sense, Manas or the Cosmic Mind, Citta or the Cosmic Intellect, the five senses of perception, viz., the senses of hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell, the five subtle elements (Tanmātrās) and the five Mahābhūtas are the twenty-five boughs; the countless latent desires are the numberless leaves, the numerous acts of volition to attain such desires are the abundant flowers, pleasure and pain are the twofold fruit and Māyā (Cosmic Illusion) is the creeper that clings to this tree of the universe.

Let those who meditate on Brahma (the Absolute) as unborn, the one without a second, perceptible only through intuition and as beyond the ken of mind, preach and believe like that. We, for our part, O Lord, ever chant the glories of Your visible form. O All-merciful and All-effulgent Lord, O mine of noble virtues, this is the boon we ask of You: may we love Your feet, casting off all aberrations of thought, word and deed.” (6)

**दो०** 
> सब के देखत बेदन्ह बिनती कीन्हि उदार।  
> अंतर्धान भए पुनि गए ब्रह्म आगार॥१३(क)॥

**दो०** 
> बैनतेय सुनु संभु तब आए जहँ रघुबीर।  
> बिनय करत गदगद गिरा पूरित पुलक सरीर॥१३(ख)॥

Meaning: While everyone looked on, the Vedas uttered their grand prayer; and then they became invisible and returned to Brahmā’s abode (Satyaloka or the seventh Paradise). (13 A)

Listen, O Garuḍa: then came Lord Śiva into the presence of Śrī Raghuvīra and with a choking voice and every hair on his body standing erect, He thus made supplication:— (13 B)
