I salute that Rama who has a pretty form,
Who is blue like a rich black cloud,
Who has broad eyes resembling Lotus,
Whose lips, arms and legs are red,
And shine like the Bandhooka flowers,
Who with help of Sita looks great,
And who has the bow and arrow ready.
Patu jala dhara dheeradhwana

Rana hatha dhanujendro Ramachandra
sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra , who killed the king of Rakshasas,,
Who is heroic and great like the proud clouds,
Who with the twang sound took one arrow from its quiver,
Telling the words of protection and who is always with his
brother.
Dasaratha kula dheepo ameya bahu

Sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra , who is without any dark stains,
Who is the lamp in the clan of king Dasaratha,
Whose fame of valour is incomparable,
Who was angry with Ravana, Who drives away all sins,
Who gives pain to Asuras and happiness to all kings.
Kuvalaya dala neela kamithartha

My help is Ramachandra, who is the lord of all devas and
kings,
Who is blue like the blue lotus , who fulfills all my
wishes,
Who protects all sages , who kills all Rakshasas all alone,
And who destroys all sins , just by chant of his name
“Rama”.
Asura kula krusanur manasambhoja
bhanu,
Sura nara nikaranaamagraneer may
Raghoonaam,
Aganitha guna seema , neela meghou

Samadha mitha muneendro , Ramachandra
Sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra, who beats all sages in being
peaceful,
Who is the fire that destroys the clan of Asuras,
Who is the incomparable sun that opens,
The lotus of the minds of the groups of men and devas ,
Who is the top most boundary of all that is good,
And who is of the blue colour of the rich cloud.
Kusi kathanaya yagam rakshithaa

Nayana kumudha chandro, Ramachandra
Sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra, who is the moon to the lotus eyes,
Of the daughter of earth, whom he married after breaking a
bow,
Who saved the fire sacrifice of Viswamithra along with
Lakshmana,
And who with his fast wind like arrows put an end to the
magic of Mareecha.
Pavana thanaya hastha

Kalasa bhava vachobhi praptha

Aparimithasaroughou poorva thoonira

Laghu nihatha kapeendro ,
Ramachandra sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra, who easily killed the king of
monkeys,
Who kept his lotus like feet on the hands of the son of
wind god,
Who as per words of Agasthya , made Indra’s bow as his,
And Who is the brave one with an inexhaustible quiver.
Kanaka vimala kanthya , sita
aalingithango,
Muni manuja varenya , sarva vagheesa
vandhya,
Swa jana nikara bandhur leelaya
baddha sethu,
Sura manuja kapeendro , Ramachandra
sahaya.
My help is Ramachandra , who is the lord of devas, men and
monkeys,
Who is embraced by Sita who shines like the pure Gold,
Who is venerated by sages and men, Who is saluted by all
poets,
Who is the close friend of his devotees and made the bridge over
sea as a play.
Yamunacharya krutham divyam
Ramashtakamidham Shubham,
Ya padeth prayatho bhoothwa sa Sri
Ramanthikam vrajeth.
If this holy octet on Rama , which was composed by
Yamanucharya,
Is read , with a pure heart , he would live very near to
Lord Rama.
