Bhagwan Shiva's prayer to Shri Rama

Shiva, voice choked with love, prays: protect me, Lord of the Raghu line. You are the wind that scatters the dense clouds of delusion, the fire that burns the forest of doubt. Without qualities and with them, temple of all virtue, you are the sun whose glory drives off the darkness of error; dwell always in your devotee's mind. You are the frost that withers the lotus-bed of worldly wishes; carry us across the sea of becoming. Dark-limbed, lotus-eyed friend of the lowly, live forever in my heart with your brother and Janaki. Shiva ends: when your tilak is held in Kosalapuri, ocean of mercy, I will come to see that noble sight.

मामभिरक्षय रघुकुल-नायक । धृत बर चाप रुचिर कर सायक ।
मोह-महा-घन-पटल प्रभंजन । संसय-बिपिन-अनल-सुर-रंजन ॥
अगुन सगुन गुन-मन्दिर सुन्दर । भ्रम-तम-प्रबल प्रताप-दिवाकर ।
काम-क्रोध-मद-गज पञ्चानन । बसहु निरन्तर जन-मन-कानन ॥

māmabhirakṣaya raghukula-nāyaka | dhṛta bara cāpa rucira kara sāyaka |
moha-mahā-ghana-paṭala prabhaṃjana | saṃsaya-bipina-anala-sura-raṃjana ||
aguna saguna guna-mandira sundara | bhrama-tama-prabala pratāpa-divākara |
kāma-krodha-mada-gaja pañcānana | basahu nirantara jana-mana-kānana ||

बिषय-मनोरथ पुञ्ज कञ्ज बन । प्रबल तुषार उदार पार मन ।
भव बारिधि मन्दर परमं दर । वारय तारय संसृति दुस्तर ॥
स्याम-गात राजीव बिलोचन । दीन बन्धु प्रनतारति-मोचन ।
अनुज जानकी सहित निरन्तर । बसहु राम-नृप मम उर अन्तर ॥

biṣaya-manoratha puñja kañja bana | prabala tuṣāra udāra pāra mana |
bhava bāridhi mandara paramaṃ dara | vāraya tāraya saṃsṛti dustara ||
syāma-gāta rājīva bilocana | dīna bandhu pranatārati-mocana |
anuja jānakī sahita nirantara | basahu rāma-nṛpa mama ura antara ||

मुनि-रञ्जन महि मंडल मंडन । तुलसिदास प्रभु त्रास-विखंडन ।

muni-rañjana mahi maṃḍala maṃḍana | tulasidāsa prabhu trāsa-vikhaṃḍana |

दो॰ 115Doha

नाथ जबहिं कोसलपुरीं, होइहि तिलक तुम्हार ।
कृपासिन्धु मेँ आउब देखन चरित उदार ॥

nātha jabahiṃ kosalapurīṃ, hoihi tilaka tumhāra |
kṛpāsindhu mem̐ āuba dekhana carita udāra ||
