Śrīrāmacandra kr̥pālu bhajumana haraṇabhavabhayadāruṇaṁ.

Navakañjalocana kañjamukha karakañja padakañjāruṇaṁ. ।।1।।

Kandarpa agaṇita amita chavi navanīlanīradasundaraṁ.

Paṭapītamānahu taḍita ruciśuci naumijanakasutāvaraṁ. ।।2।।

English Translation:

O Mind, worship the merciful Shri Ramchandra. He is the one who will remove the terrible fear of birth and death from this world.

His eyes are like newly blossomed lotuses. His face is like a lotus, his hands are like a lotus, and his feet are like a red lotus. ॥1॥

The radiance of his beauty is greater than that of countless Kaamdevs. His body has a beautiful complexion like that of a new blue-moist cloud. The yellow robe on his body appears to be shining like lightning.

I worship such a holy form of Shri Ram, who is the husband of Janaki's daughter (Shri Sita). ॥2॥
