Song lyrics -
Sri ramachandra kripaalu bhaju mana,
harana bhava bhaya daarunam
nava kanja lochana kanja mukha, kara kanja pada kanjaarunam
Iti vadati tulasidaas shankara,
sesha muni mana ranjanam
mama hruday kanja nivaas kuru,
kaamaadi khala dhala ganjanam
Song meaning -
Praise lord sri ram, o heart, for
he removes the fear of cycles of birth and death and other perils
his eyes, face, hands and legs are all like freshly blossomed lotuses
Praise Lord Ram, whose beauty is unparalled by even countless cupids, whose body is a beautiful blue cloud,
whose garb gleams like lightning, and
who is married to the daughter of Janaka.
Sing the glory of the lord, who is the upholder of the poor,
and who vanquished the demonic races
he is the moon of queen Koushalya and
the dearest to the king dasaratha
Praise Lord Ram, who wears a crown, ear rings, thilak
and who is decorated with jewellery
he who has long arms , who bears a bow and arrow
and defeated khar – dushan in battle
Tulsidas proclaims, o lord, you have filled the hearts of shiva,
aadisesha and saints with bliss.
please reside in my heart and
expurgate the inferior feelings of desire and such like
lyrics
Sri ramachandra kripaalu bhaju mana,
harana bhava bhaya daarunam
nava kanja lochana kanja mukha, kara kanja pada kanjaarunam
