Shri Ramchandra Kripalu Bhaju Man
श्रीरामचन्द्र कृपालु भजु मन हरण भवभय दारुणम्। नवकञ्ज लोचन कञ्ज मुख कर कञ्ज पद कञ्जारुणम्॥
कन्दर्प अगणित अमित छवि नवनील नीरद सुन्दरम्। पटपीत मानहुँ तडित रुचि शुचि नौमि जनक सुतावरम्॥
भजु दीनबन्धु दिनेश दानव दैत्यवंश निकन्दनम्। रघुनन्द आनन्दकन्द कोशलचन्द दशरथ नन्दनम्॥
शिर मुकुट कुण्डल तिलक चारु उदारु अङ्ग विभूषणम्। आजानुभुज शर चापधर सङ्ग्राम जित खरदूषणम्॥
इति वदति तुलसीदास शङ्कर शेष मुनि मन रञ्जनम्। मम हृदयकञ्ज निवास कुरु कामादि खलदल गञ्जनम्॥
Meaning
A hymn by Tulsidas from the Vinay Patrika. O mind, worship the compassionate Shri Ramchandra, who removes the terrible fear of worldly existence; his eyes, face, hands and feet are like fresh red lotuses. His beauty surpasses countless Kamadevas; he is lovely as a fresh dark rain cloud, and his yellow garment shines like lightning; I bow to the pure husband of Janaki. Worship the friend of the humble, radiant as the Sun, destroyer of the demon clans, the joy of the Raghu line, the moon of Kosala and son of Dasharatha. He wears a crown, earrings and tilak, with ornaments on every limb; his arms reach his knees, he holds bow and arrow and conquered Khara and Dushana in battle. Tulsidas prays: you who delight the hearts of Shankar, Shesha and the sages, make your home in the lotus of my heart and destroy the band of wicked desires.
When it is recited
Sung on Ram Navami, Dussehra and Diwali, and at Ramayan path and Ram puja.
