Meaning


Pallavi: I contemplate on (“bhAvayAmi”) Sri Ramachandra, the foremost (“tilakam”) in the Raghu clan (“kula”), and who is the brother of Indra (“upEndram”).

("Upendra").

{SideNote: referring to Vishnu as being the brother of Indra. Lord Vishnu is called Upendra because he appeared in the family of Aditi (Indra's mother) in one of His incarnations, Vamana.}

Anupallavi: He is the Lord (“nAyakam”) of Sita - born as the daughter of earth (“bhUmi-jA”). He is the one who gives (“dAyakam”) the worldly pleasures (“bhukti”) and also salvation (“mukti”). The singing of whose name (“nAma-kIrtana”) takes us across the travails of mundane life (“tArakam”). The best among men (“nara-varam”). He is devoid of illusions (“gatamAyikam”).



Charanam: Who resides (“nivasantam”) in SaketaNagara (Ayodhya). He grants (“prada”) the complete sovereignty – Samraajya to Anjaneya. His face (“vadanam”) resembles the full moon (“rAkEndu”). The prosperous lord (“bhagavantam”), who has endearing (“ramaNIya”) and auspicious (“kalyANa”) qualities (“guNavantam”). He belongs to the Kakustha Vamsa – clan. He is the intelligent one (“dhImantam”). He has lotus-like eyes (“kamalAkSam”). He is the glorious one (“shrImantam”) praised by Adisesha (“nAgEsha-nutam”). He is the infinite one (“anantam”), who sports (“viharantam”) in the heart of Guruguha in human (“nara”) form.

Lyrics in Sanskrit

राम चन्द्रं भावयामि - रागं वसन्त - ताळं रूपकम्

पल्लवि
राम चन्द्रं भावयामि
रघु कुल तिलकं उपेन्द्रम्

अनुपल्लवि
भूमिजा नायकं भुक्ति मुक्ति दायकं
नाम कीर्तन तारकं नर वरं गत मायिकम्

चरणम्
साकेत नगरे निवसन्तं
साम्राज्य प्रद हनुमन्तं
राकेन्दु वदनं भगवन्तं
रमणीय कल्याण गुणवन्तं
(मध्यम काल साहित्यम्)
काकुत्स्थं धीमन्तं
कमलाक्षं श्रीमन्तं
नाकेश नुतं अनन्तं
नर गुरु गुह विहरन्तम्
