Sri Rama Raksha Stotram Meaning:
For the “Rama protection prayer”,
The sage is Budha[1] Kousika, God is Ramachandra with Sita,
Meter is Anushtup, power is Sita, and Limit is Hanuman,
And I am starting the chant of this prayer to please Ramachandra.
I meditate on that Ramachandra, whose arms reach up to his thighs,
Who carries bow and arrows, who sits in a lotus pose,
Who is dressed in yellow cloths, who has eyes like the petals of newly opened lotus flower,
Who is always pleasant-looking, who is the color of the black cloud,
Whose sight is fixed on the lotus eyes of Sita, sitting on his left thigh,
And who shines in various decorations and who has matted hair around his face.
The story of Rama is written in four billion words,
But reading even one letter of that destroys all great sins.
Meditating on Rama who is black like the blue lotus flower,
Who has lotus like eyes, who is our Lord
Who is accompanied by Sita and Lakshmana,
Whose head is surrounded by the tufted hair,
Who carries sword, bows, arrows and quiver,
Who is born in the world to playfully kill rakshasas,
And save and protect this world, who does not have birth,
The intelligent one should chant,“Rama protection prayer”,
So that he realizes all his desires.
Let Raghava protect my head,
Let my forehead be protected by son of Dasaratha,
Let my eyes be protected by son of Kousalya,
And let my ears be protected by, he who is dear to Viswamithra.
Let my nose be protected by the protector of sacrifices,
My face by him, he who is dear to Lakshmana,
My tongue be protected by the treasure of wisdom,
My neck is protected by him who is saluted by Bharatha.
Let my shoulders be protected by him who has celestial weapons,
Let my arms by him who broke the bow,
Let my hands be protected by the husband of Sita,
Let my heart be protected by him who won over Parasurama.
Let my middle be protected by him who killed Khara,
Let my stomach be protected by the Lord of Jhambhavan,
Let my hips be protected by Lord of Sugreeva,
Let my behinds be protected by Lord of Hanuman.
Let my thighs be protected by the best of the Raghu clan,
Who is the destroyer of the clan of Rakshasas,
Let my knees be protected by the maker of the bridge,
Let my calves be protected by the killer of Ravana,
Let my feet be protected by him who gives protection to Vibheeshana,
And let all my body be protected by Sri Rama.
The do-gooder who reads the protective chant based on strength of Rama,
Would live long, be blessed with sons, be victorious and will have humility.
They who travel in the hades, earth and heaven and who travel secretly,
Would not be able to see the one who reads the protective chant of Rama.
On the man who remembers Rama, Rambhadra and Ramachandra,
Sins will never get attached and he would get good life and salvation.
He who wears the chant of the name of Rama as
Protection round his neck would get all the occult powers in his hand.
The orders of him who reads this armor of Rama called the cage of diamond,
Would be obeyed by everywhere and he will get victory in all things.
This protective chant of Rama was told by Lord Shiva in the dream,
And was written down by Budha Koushika without leaving a letter the next day morn.
There is no Lord like Rama who is like a wish giving tree,
Who lives in all places and who is the prettiest in all worlds.
Let us be protected by the brothers Rama and Lakshmana,
Who are young, full of beauty, who are very strong,
Who have broad eyes like lotus, who wear the hides of trees,
Who eat fruits and roots, who are self-controlled, who are ascetic,
Who are celibate, who are sons of Dasaratha,
Who gives protection to all beings, who are great,
Who is the best among those who wield the bow,
And who destroy whole clans of Rakshasas.
Let those Rama and Lakshmana,
Who hold arrows ready to shoot,
Who has the inexhaustible quiver on their shoulders,
Walk-in front of me protecting me.
Let Rama and Lakshmana, who are ready for war,
Wearing armor holding sword and having bows and arrows,
Travel in the chariot of my mind and protect me.
That devotee who daily chants with devotion the names,
Rama, son of Dasaratha, heroic one, he who is accompanied by Lakshmana,
He who is from Kakustha clan, complete man, son of Kausalya, Best among Raghu clan,
He who can be known by Vedantha, Lord of Yagnas, He who is ancient,
The best among men, Consort of Sita, Gentleman without properties and valorous one
Without doubt, would get more blessings than performing the Aswamedha sacrifice
He who chants the divine names of Rama
Who is as black as the bud of Dhoorva grass,
Who has lotus like eyes, Who wears yellow silk,
Would never again lead another domestic life.
Salutations to him who is attractive to all the world,
Who is the best among the Raghu clan, who killed Ravana,
Who is Rama, Who is the elder brother of Lakshmana,
Who is a blessing to the Raghu clan, Who is the consort of Sita,
Who is pretty, Who belongs to clan of Kakusthas,
Who is the treasure of mercy, Who is wealthy of good characters,
Who likes Vedic scholars, who are just, Who is the best among kings,
Who is truthful, who is the son of Dasaratha, Who is black and
Who is the personification of peace and patience.
My salutations to the consort of Lady Sita,
Who is the basis of all Vedas as Rama,
Ramabhadra and Ramachandra and,
Who is lord of the world as the lord of the Raghu clan.
Oh Rama, become my protection Oh Rama,
Rama, Rama, son of Raghu, Rama, Rama,
Rama Rama elder brother of Bharatha, Rama Rama,
Rama, Rama expert in war, Rama, Rama.
I meditate on the feet of Sri Ramachandra,
I tell with words about feet of Ramachandra,
I salute with my head the feet of Ramachandra,
And I seek for protection to the feet of Ramachandra.
My mother is Rama, my father Ramachandra,
My lord is Rama and my friend is Ramachandra,
Everything for me is the merciful Ramachandra,
And I do not see anyone else except him and him.
I salute that son of Raghu, on whose right is Lakshmana,
On whose left is Sita and n whose front is Hanuman.
I surrender to Lord Sri Rama, who is prettiest in this world,
Who is very brave on the battlefield, who has lotus like eyes,
Who is the chief of the Raghu clan, who is mercy personified,
And who is extremely merciful
I bow my head and salute the emissary of Rama,
Who has won over his mind,
Who has similar speed as the wind,
Who has mastery over his organs,
Who is the greatest among knowledgeable,
Who is the son of God of wind,
And who is the chief in the army of monkeys.
Salutations to The nightingale Valmiki,
Who sits on the poem like branch,
And who goes on singing sweetly,
“Rama”, “Rama” and “Rama”.
I, again and again, salute that Rama who is ever-beautiful,
Who destroys all dangers and gives all sorts of wealth.
The roar of the name “Rama”, “Rama,
Burns away all miseries of the world,
Increases all sorts of pleasure and wealth,
And drives away the messengers of God of death.
Always victory to Rama who is the king of gems,
I salute Rama who is the consort of Lakshmi,
The Rakshasas who move at night were killed by Rama,
And my salutations to that Rama,
There is no place of surrender greater than Rama,
And I am the slave of Rama,
My mind is always fully engrossed in Rama,
And Oh God Rama please save me.
Hey beautiful one,
I play with Rama always,
By chanting Rama Rama and Rama,
Hey, lady with a beautiful face,
Chanting of the name Rama,
Is the same as the thousand names.
Thus ends the prayer of protection to Rama composed by Budha Koushika.
