Kumaara Guruguha Mahitham Kavi Brundaadi Sannutham

Sethumadhya Gandhamaadana Parvata Vihaaram

Sadaa Parvata Varddhini Manollaasakaram

Hastaamalaka Natavaram Hatakamaya Haaradharam

Meaning: (From T.K. Govinda Rao’s Book)

I (“aham”) offer my obeisance (“bhaje”) to Lord Ramanatha, who is worshipped (“poojitham”) by Lord Ramachandra. He (“devam”) confers (“prada”) the desired (“kaamitha”) boons (“phala”) on His devotees. He has the glory (“prabhavam”) of possessing crores of tanks (“Koti Thirttha”) of holy waters(“thirtha”) – in His temple precinct. He is perceptible(“mahitham”) to the youthful (“kumara”) Guruguha and is worshipped (“sannutham”) by a host of poets (“kavi”) and monkeys (“brundaadi”).

He resides in the hill (“parvata”) “Gandhamaadana”, situated at the center (“Madhya”) of Setu. He always (“sadaa”) enthralls (“ullaasakaram”) the mind (“mano”) of Goddess Parvata Vardhini. He bestows tangible beneficial boons (“varam”) on those who seek Him. He is adorned (“dharma”) with golden (“hatakamaya”) garlands (“haara”). He obliterates (“haram”) even heinous (“haytaadi”) sins (“papa”). He is eternally established (“aakaaram”) in the state of super consciousness (“hamsoha”).
