Meaning

Sri Ramachandra! Please reside in my heart. Oh Lord Rama, you are an unfathomable as the ocean.
You sport a bow and arrow in your arms, which you used to annihilate the demon Khara. Your eyes brim with the sentiment of compassion.
Your feet are extolled by Kausika and other seers. Your form is marvelous. You are the repository of the most desirable great virtues. You are the refuge of all the worlds. You destroy all the miseries of those who worship your feet. The beauty of your tresses surpasses that of dark clouds.
The beauty of your form destroys the pride of crores of Cupids. Please, Lord, give me good fortune! You are the gem of the Manu dynasty. You are easy to be realized by those who surrender unto you. Your tresses always smell like the fragrance of Parijata flower. Oh, compassionate lord! Your face resembles the full moon.
You are the delight in the heart of Goddess Janaki. Oh, Padmanabha! Omnipresent one! Lord of the universe! You are adored by Brahma and other celestials. Oh, Hare!Scion of the solar race! you are the conqueror of Ravana (the one with ten heads). Oh most pure!~ You are surrounded by arboreal ones.
