Rama Sthava Raja
[King of Prayers addressed to Lord Rama]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[Here is a great prayer taken from a dilapidated book in Malayalam. From the prayer it is understood that it occurs in Sanath Kumara Samhitha. The stotra is sung by Sage Narada and has been retold by Sage Vyasa to Dharmaputhra. However in the text with translation by Sriman Kusakratha dasa, this prayer does not occur.]

Asya Ramachandra sthava raja stotra manthrasya sanath kumara rishi, Sri Ramo devatha, Anushtup Chanda, Sita bheejam, Hanuman Shakthi, Sri Rama preethyarthe jape Viniyoga.

For the King of prayers addressed to lord Rama, the sage is Sanath Kumara, The god addressed is Rama, the meter is Anushtup, the root is Sita, the power is Hanuman and this is being chanted to please Lord Rama.

Sutha Uvacha:-
Sutha said:-

Sarva sasthrartha thathwagnam, vyasam, sathyavathee Sutham,
Dharmaputhro prahrushtathma, prathyuvacha muneeswaram. 1

Dharma puthra in reply to the query of,
Vyasa who knows all shastras and Thathwa,
And who was the son of Sathyavathi told thus.

Bhagwan, Yoginaam sreshta, Sarva shastra Vishadaradha,
Kim thathwam, Kim param japyam, kim dhyanam mukthi sadhanam,
Srothumichami thath sarvam broohi may Muni Sathama. 2

Oh great sir, Oh greatest yogi, Oh expert in all knowledge,
What is the essence, What should be chanted,
And by meditating on which would one get salvation,
I would very much like to know and so great sage, please tell.

Vyasa Uvacha:
Vyasa said:

Dharma raja, Maha bhaga, Srunu vakshyami Thwatha. 3
Oh king of Dharma, Oh valorous one, please here the essence.

Yath param Yath gunathhetham yath jyothiramalm shivam,
Thadeva paramam thathwam, kaivalya pada karanam. 4

That which is divine, transcends three type of gunas, which is shiningly pure,
And which is the ultimate essence and leads to salvation.

Sri Ramethi param jaapyam tharakam Brahma samjakam,
Brahma hathyadhi papagnamithi Veda vidho vidhu. 5

The experts in Vedas tell that the greatest mantra to chant,
Is �Sri Rama�, as it is termed as indicating Tharaka Brahmam,
And as it also completely removes sins like Brahma hathya.

Sri Rama Ramethi janaa ye Japanthi cha Sarvadhaa,
Theshaam bhukthischa, mukthischa, bhavishyathi na samsaya. 6

Those people who always chant Sri Rama, Sri Rama,
Without any doubt would get victory as well as salvation and happiness.

Sthava rajam pura proktham Naradhena cha dheematha,
Thath sarvam Sampravakshyami Hari dhyana purassaram. 7

I am going to meditate on Vishnu and start telling you,
The very ancient King of prayers, which was told by the great Narada.

Thapathrayagni samanam, sarvaghogha nikrunthanam,
Daridrya dukha dahanam, sarva sampth karam Shivam. 8

Vijanan phaladham dhivyammokshaika phala sadhanam,
Namaskruthya pravakshyami, Ramam Krishnam Jagat mayam. 9

I am going to tell you after saluting Rama and Krishna, who are every where,
This prayer which removes three sorts of sufferings, which cures all diseases,
Which burns the sorrow due to poverty, which grants all sort of wealth,
Which grants great wisdom and leads to salvation.

Ayodhya nagare ramye rathna mandapa madhyage,
Smareth kalpa tharor moole rathna simhasanam shubham. 10

Meditate the middle of the gem studded stage,
In the beautiful city of Ayodhya,
And then think of the gem studded throne,
In the root of the great wish giving tree.

Than madhye ashta dalam padmam, nana rathnaischa veshtitham,
Smaran madhye Dasaradhim, sahasradhithya thejasam. 11

Then meditate the son of Dasaratha, who shines like thousand suns,
In the middle of that, in the lotus with eight petals, decorated by gems.

Pithuranga gatham Ramam Indra neela mani prabham,
komalangam, visalaksham Vidhyuthvarnambara vrutham. 12

Then meditate on Rama sitting on the lap of his father,
Who shines like the blue sapphire of great Devendra,
Who has a pretty body, broad eyes, and wearing shining cloths.

Bhanu koti preethikasa kireedena virajitham,
Rathna graiveya keyura kundala manditham. 13

Meditate on him, who wears a crown shining more than billion suns,
Who wears gem studded neck ornaments and ear studs.

Rathna kankana manjeera kati suthrailankrutham,
Sri vathsa kousthubhoraskam Mukthaharopa shobhitham. 14

Meditate on him who wears gem studded bangles, anklets and silken threads,
And on him who wears Srivathsa and Kousthubha
On his chest and shines, wearing a garland of beads,

Divya rathna sara yuktha mudhrikabhir alankrutham,
Raghavam dwibhujam balam rama meshath smithananam. 15

Meditate on him, who ornaments him self
With several gem studded signet rings,
And on Rama the child with two hands
And on him who makes the world smile.

Thulasi kundamandara pushapa malair alankrutham,
Karpoora garu kasthuri divya gandhanulepanam. 16

Meditate on him who wears flower garlands,
Made of Thulasi, jasmine and Mandhara flowers,
And on him who applies on himself scents,
Made of musk, Thulasi and other scented holy sticks.

Yoga shasthreshava bhiratham yogesam yoga dhayakam,
Sada bharatha soumithri Shathurugnair upa shobitham. 17

Meditate on him who is interested in science of Yoga,
And on him who is the lord of yoga and one who gives yoga,
And on him who always shines in the company of,
Bharatha, Lakshmana and Shathrugna.

Vidhyadhara suradheesa sidha Gandharva kinnarai,
Yogeendrair Naradaischa sthootamana maharnisam. 18

Meditate on him who is praised by Vidhyadharas,
Devendra, sidhas, Gandharva and Kinnaras,
And on him who is praised by great sages like Narada.

Viswamithra, vasishtadhi munibhi parisevitham,
Sanakadhi muni sreshtair yogi vrundaischa sevitham. 19

Meditate on him who is served by sages like Viswamithra and Vasishta,
And on the Lord who is served by groups of Yogis like sages like sanaka.

Ramam raghuvaram veeram Dhanur veda visaradham,
Mangalayathanam devam Ramam Rajeeva lochanam. 20

Meditate on Rama, the star of Raghu clan who is valorous and an expert in Archery,
Meditate on Rama, the lotus eyed God who blesses us with all that is good.

Sarva sathratha thathwagnam, Ananda kara Sundaram,
KOusalya nandhanam Ramam Dhanur bana dharam Harim. 21

Meditate on him who is an expert in all shastras, who makes us happy and is handsome,
And on Rama, the son of Kousalya, armed with bow and arrow and on Vishnu.

Evam sanchinthayan Vishnum Yajjyothir amalam vibhum,
Prahrushta manaso bhoothwa muni varya sa Narada. 22

Sarva loka hitharthaya thushtava Raghu nandanam,
Kruthanjali puto bhoothwa chinthayan adbutham harim. 23

Meditating like this on Vishnu, who is the lord who is pure and shining,
With a very enthralled mind, the sage called Narada,
With folded hands started thinking of the wonderful Vishnu,
For pleasing, the child of Raghu and for the benefit of the world.

Yadhekam yath param nithyam yadanatham chidathmakam,
Yadhekam vyapakam loke thad roopam chinthayamyaham. 24

I meditate on that form which is one, divine, perennial, endless, full of wisdom,
And on that form which is one, but spread everywhere in the world.

Vijnana hethum Vimalayathaksham,
Prajana roopam swa sukhiaka hethum,
Sri Ramachandram harim Aadhi devam,
Parathparam Ramamaham Bhajami. 25

I sing about Rama who is the divine of the divines,
Who is the cause of all knowledge, who has pure and clear eyes,
Who is the form of pure wisdom and the cause of our pleasure,
And who is Ramachandra, Hari and the primeval God.

Kavim puranam purasthath,
Sanathanam yoginameesitharam,
Anoraneeyaam samanantha veeryam,
Praneswaram Rama manasou Dadarsa. 26

He saw in his mind the form of the great God Rama,
Who is the poet who wrote the story of the world,
Who is perennial, who is the ultimate goal of yogis,
Who is the atom within atom and one with inexhaustible valour.

Narayanam, Jagannatham, Abhiramam, Jagathpathim,
Kavim puranam, vaagesam, Ramam, Dasarathathmajam. 27

Narayana, the lord of the worlds,
Who is Handsome every minute and the king of the worlds,
The most ancient poet, God of words,
He who bewitches the mind, Son of Dasaratha.

Rajarajam, Raghuvaram, Kousalya Ananda vardhanam,
Bhargam, Varenyam, Viswesam, Raghu nadham, Jagath gurum. 28

The king of kings, The great one of Raghu's clan,
One who increases the joy of Kousalya,
The supporter, He who is the chosen one,
Lord of universe, The lord of Raghu clan, The teacher of the world,

Sathyam sathya priyam, Sreshtam, Janaki vallabham, Vibhum,
Soumithri poorvajam, Santham, Kamadham, Kamlekshanam. 29

Truth, lover of truth, Greatest, Consort of Sita, Lord,

Yadhi Thushtosi Sarvagna, Sri Rama Karuna nidhe,
Thwan moorthi dharasane naiva Krutharthoham cha sarvadha. 79

Hey Rama who is a treasure of mercy, If you are happy, hey all knowing one,

Hey greatest among men, I am blessed, met with success and have done blessed deeds,
And now my birth and life have met with success,
Now my Thapas has succeeded by getting of wisdom,
Now my actions have met with success by seeing your lotus like feet,
Now all my activities have succeeded because of remembering your name,
And so Oh Rama, please give me constant devotion to your lotus like feet,
Thus told Narada to the very highly pleased Lord Rama.

Thatha parama sampreetha sa rama praha Naradam. 83

The very highly pleased Rama told as follows to Narada.

Munivarya maha bhaga, mune twisham dhadhami they,

Oh Sage who is great, I give you all that you wish,
Whatever you want by your mind would be fulfilled.

Narada Uvacha:-
Narada said:-

Varam nay ache Raghu nadha yushmath padabhja bhakthi sathatham mamasthu,
Idham priyam nadha varam prayache puna puna asthwami idhameva yache. 85

I do not want any boon but my devotion to your flower like feet should be there,
And I only request this dear boon from you and again and again I request you only this.

Veero Ramo maha thejo, sachidananda vigraha. 86

Advaitham amalam jnanam swa nama smaranam thadha,
Andhar dhadhou Jganndha purathasthasya Raghava. 87

Requested like this, Rama gave him the boon he requested,
And the valorous Rama who is resplendent and one who has a divine form.
Gave him pure wisdom of Brahmam and thought about his name in his mind,
And vanished from the sight of sage Narada.

Ithi Sri Raghu nadhasya sthava rajamanuthamam,
SArva soubhagya sampathi dhayakam mukthidham shubham. 88

This is the king of prayers addressed to the Lord of Raghu clan,
And would give all luck, all wealth as well as great salvation.

Kadhitham Brahma puthrena Vedanaam saramuthamam,
Guhyad guhyathamam divyam thava snehath prakeerthitham. 89

I have sung this stotra which has been told by Narada, the son of Brahma,
Which contains essence of Vedas and which is secret of secrets,
Because of the great love that I have towards you.

Ya padeth srunyadwapi Trisandhyam sradhayanwithou,
Brhama hathyadhi paapani thad samani bahooni cha, 90

Swarnstheyam Surapanam Guruthalpa gathi sthadha,
Govadhad yupa paapani anruthath sambhavani cha, 91

Sarvai pramuchyathe paapai kalpayudha shathod bhavai,
Manasam vachikam papam karmana samuparjitham. 92

Sri Rama Smaranenaiva thath kshanath nasyathi dhruvam,
Idham sathyamidham sathyam sathyamethadhi hochyathe. 93

If this is read or heard with attention at dawn, noon and dusk,
Brahma hathya* sin and other sins of that order,
Theft of gold, drinking of alcohol, talking ill of one's guru,
Killing of cow and such subsidiary sins, even if done knowingly
And even if accumulated over several births, would be got rid off.
Sins committed and accumulated either by mind or by words or body,
Just by the thought of Rama would be immediately destroyed.
This is the truth, this is the truth and this is the truth.
*Killing of a Brahmin

Rama Sathya Param Brahma, Ramath kinchinna vidhyathe,
Thasmad Rama swaroopam hi sathyam, sathyamidham Jagath. 94

Rama is the true divine Brahmam, without him nothing can be known,
So Rama is the real truth, and it is the truth of this world.

Hey emperor, Hey child of Raghu clan, Hey Ramachandra,
I who am your slave has surrendered to you.

Agre vaachayathi prabhanjana sutheThathwam muneendra param,
Vyakhyatham bharathathibhi parivrutham Ramam Bhaje Shyamalam. 96

I sing about that black coloured Rama, who is with Sita,
Who sits below the wish giving tree, in the golden stage,
On the valorous gem studded throne, on the seat made of flowers,
And is surrounded by Bharatha and others and in front of whom,
Hanuman reads the great philosophy, Written by great sages.

Ramam rathna kundala kireeta yutham, keyura haaranvitham,
Sitalankrutha vama bhagam amalam, simhasanastham vibhum,
Sugreevadhi hareeswarai, sura ganai sam sevyamanam sadha,
Viswamithra parasarathi munibhisamsthuyumanam Prabhum, 97

Sakala guna nidhanam Yogibhi sthuyamanam,
Bhuja vijitha samanam Rakkshasendradhi maanam,
Ahitha nrupa bhayaanaam, Sithaya shobha maanam,
Smara hrudhaya vimanam, Brahma ramabhidhanam. 98

Oh heart, remember that Lord Rama, who is Para Brahmam,
Who wears gem studded ear studs, crown armlets and garland,
Who is pure, Whose left side is decorated by the presence of Sita,
Who is the Lord sitting on the throne, Who is always served,
By monkey Lord like Sugreeva, and groups of devas,
Who is the Lord who is being praised by sages like Viswamithra and Parasara,
Who is store house of all that is good, who is prayed by great yogis,
Who won battles due to his strength, who is the death to Rakshasa kings,
Who is feared by bad kings and who adds luster to his consort Sita.

Raghu vara thava moorthir maamake Maanasabhje,
Naraka gathi haram they namadheyam mukhe may,
Anisamathulya bhakthya masthakam thwath padabhje,
Bhava jala nidhi magnam raksha mamaartha bandho. 99

Oh Rama, your form occupies my mind fully,
Your name that destroys hell occupies my face,
And my head with incomparable devotion falls at your feet,
And so God who is the friend of down trodden,
Save me from the this ocean of births and deaths.

Ramarathnamaham Vande Chithrakoota pathim harim,
Kousalya bhakthi sambhootham, Janaki kanda bhooshanam. 100

I salute the gem called Rama, who is Lord Vishnu of Chithrakoota,
Who was born out of the devotion of Kousalya,
And who is the ornament in the neck of Goddess Sita.

Ithi Sanathkumara samhithayam, naradhoktham Sri Ramachandra sthava raja stotram sampoornam.

Thus ends the king of prayers addressed to Rama which was told by Narada and which occurs in Sanathkumara Samhitha.
