|| रामस्तोत्रम् ||
रामं स्कन्धं हनूमन्तं वैनतेयं वृकोदरम् । शयानं सह शत्रुघ्नैरहमाराधयिष्यामि ॥१॥
rāmaṃ skandhaṃ hanūmantaṃ vainateyaṃ vṛkodaram | śayānaṃ saha śatrughnairahamārādhayiṣyāmi ||1||
I worship Rama, Skanda, Hanuman, Garuda, and Bhima, who lie down with their enemies slain.
रामं दूर्वादलश्यामं पद्माक्षं पीतवाससम् । स्तुवन्ति नामभिर्दिव्यैर्न ते संसारभागिनः ॥२॥
rāmaṃ dūrvādalaśyāmaṃ padmākṣaṃ pītavāsanam | stuvanti nāmabhirdivyairna te saṃsārabhāginaḥ ||2||
Those who praise Rama, who is dark like the durva grass, lotus-eyed, and clad in yellow silk, with his divine names - they never again become part of samsara.
रामाय रामभद्राय रामचन्द्राय वेधसे । रघुनाथाय नाथाय सीतायाः पतये नमः ॥३॥
rāmāya rāmabhadrāya rāmacandrāya vedhase | raghunāthāya nāthāya sītāyāḥ pataye namaḥ ||3||
Salutations to Rama, to Ramabhadra, to Ramachandra, to the creator, to the lord of the Raghus, to the master, to the husband of Sita.
रामं राजीवनेत्रं च रामं राक्षसभञ्जनम् । रामं पितृवचः सत्यं नौमि रामं निशाकरम् ॥४॥
rāmaṃ rājīvanetraṃ ca rāmaṃ rākṣasabhañjanam | rāmaṃ pitṛvacaḥ satyaṃ naumi rāmaṃ niśākaram ||4||
I bow to Rama with lotus eyes, to Rama the destroyer of demons, to Rama who made his father’s word true, to Rama who is like the moon.
