Morning prayer to Rama
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Sri Rama, one of the major incarnations of Vishnu who showed the world how a man ought to live.
Aapadam apa hartharam dhataram sarva sampadam, Lokabhi ramam Sri ramam bhooyo bhooyo namamyaham.
My prostrations to that Sri Rama,
Who removes all dangers in life,
Who gives all riches to his devotees,
And who is the darling of all the world.
Aarhanaam aarthi hantharam bheethanam bheetha nasanam, Dwishatham kaladandam tham Ramachandram namamyaham
My salutations to that Ramachandra,
Who wipes of all miseries of the miserable,
Who wipes away all fear from those afraid,
And who is the God of death to his enemies.
