Lyrics

Shri Guru charana saroja raja nija manu mukuru sudhaari
Baranau Raghubara bimala jasu jo daayaku phala chaari

Having polished the mirror of my heart with the dust of my Guru’s lotus feet
I sing the pure fame of the best of the Raghus, which bestows the four fruits of life.

Buddhi hina tanu jaanike sumirau pavana kumaara
Bala buddhi vidyaa dehu mohin harahu kalesa bikaara

Knowing this body to be devoid of intelligence, I recall you, Son of the Wind
Grant me strength, intelligence and wisdom and remove my suffering and shortcomings.

Seeyaa vara Raamachandra pada jai sharanam

I take refuge at the feet of Sita’s husband, Ramachandra.
