Lovely as a jasmine and a blue lotus, of surpassing strength, repositories of wisdom, endowed with natural grace, excellent bowmen, hymned by the Vedas, and lovers of the cow and the Brāhmaṇas, who appeared in the form of mortal men through their own Māyā (deluding potency) as the two noble scions of Raghu, the armours of true religion, friendly to all and journeying in quest for Sītā, may they both grant us Devotion. (1) Blessed are those pious souls who ceaselessly quaff the nectar of Śrī Rāma’s Name, churned out of the ocean of the Vedas, which completely destroys the sins of the Kali age and knows no decay, which shines ever bright in the most beautiful moon-like mouth of the glorious Śambhu (Lord Śiva), a palatable remedy for the disease of transmigration and the very life of Sītā (Janaka’s Daughter).

mukti janma mahi jāni gyāna khāni agha hāni kara

jahaom basa saṃbhu bhavāni sō kāsī sēia kasa na..

jarata sakala sura bṛṃda biṣama garala jēhiṃ pāna kiya.

tēhi na bhajasi mana maṃda kō kṛpāla saṃkara sarisa..

Why not reside in Kāśī (the modern Vārāṇasī), the abode of Śambhu and Bhavānī (Goddess Pārvatī), knowing it to be the birthplace of Mukti (final beatitude), the mine of spiritual wisdom and the destroyer of sins? O stupid mind, how is it that you do not worship Him who drank off the deadly venom (churned out of the ocean of milk at the dawn of creation), the very presence of which was burning all the host of gods? Who else is so merciful as Lord Śaṅkara?
