The victory of Rama is the real victory,
It is the first Veda among all the wealth,
The greatest teaching
which has been composed ,
And the first of the entire world
Samashti Charanam
1.Paralum
Dasarathan bhagiyamai,
Payasam vaitha thoru pathiramai,
Cheeralum
Kosalaikke vaaithathumai,
Dinakaran
kulathirkku nethiramai
1.As great luck to
Dasaratha who was ruling the world,
As the vessel in
which payasam (sweet dish) was
kept.
That which
happened to the very great Kousalya,
Became the eye
to the clan of Sun God
2.Madhyama Kalam

2.He heard the
inexhaustible divine joy from the sage Kaushika of great penance ,
He send an arrow
to send the Thadaga who came in search of him to land of devas,
He bent without any effort the bow of Lord , which was impossible to
handle by any one ,
He married the very pretty daughter of Janama and returned back to Ayodhya.

thiru thavathinai vaangi

3.He received the
divine penance done by Parasurama,
He received the news
about his coronation,
And then the power of Kaikeyi increased by the boons received by Kaikeyi ,
And as per the words
given, he moved away from the
town,
4.Madhyama Kalam

thanile , Anumathani kande viyan kondathu
4.He got into the boat , taked with Guha and then crossed Ganges and went further,
He gave his sandals to the very truthful Bharatha who
came with great devotion,
He reached Panchavati
a place in the forest and killed
Mareecha who wandered there,
And when he was searching for his life like queen , he saw Lord Hanuman and was
surprised.
5.AArabhi
Vanara mannanudan
nesathai kondi ,
Vali thanakkum mokshataye thanthu,
Janakiyai ilangapuri kandu ,

5.He then established friendship with the monkey king ,
And gave salvation
to Vali ,
And praised
Hanuman who saw Janaki in Lanka town,
And came back by jumping and crossing the sea.

Thanjamena vandhaVibheeshanaukku , thanaaka Lanka puriyai

Thidam kondu Ravananayum mayakki , chendru irunthu nalai
vaa yendrathu,
Jeyam kondu
Pushpaka ratha meriyum thirumbi thannangar Ayodhi vanthathu.
6.He constructed a bridge over the sea which was never
tied up and crossed it,
He gave the city
of Lanka to Vibheeshana who came to surrender to him,
He with force made
Ravana faint and told him to go then
and come back the next day,
And after victory he
climbed the Pushpaka Vimana and
came back to his city of Ayodhya.
7.Gaulai
Nanmani vatta kudai Bharathanum thanga,
Lakshmanan
Satrugnanum Chamaram yentha,
POn perum padathinai
Anumanum thanga,
Punniya kadallinnulle
yavarum neentha.
7.With the great gem like Bharatha holding the round
umbrella,
With Lakshmana
and Shatrugna swinging the
chowries,
With Hanuman holding his gold like feet,
All people were swimming in to the divine sea of
blessing.
8.Madhyama Kalam
Bhuviyum vaan ulagum
ondru koodi vara, pothisai pada vaazhthiyum nindrathu,
Pongu mangala
milanka , Dundhubhi muzhanga , marai mozhi chazhangavum nindrathu,
Thava nirai sindhu
gangai , kaviri, godhavari ,
narmadhai poompunal eendhathu ,
Dandaka mandalam
vaithu vasishtarum than kara pattabhishekamum kondathu.
8.Theearth and heavens came together , singing songs of praise and stood there greeting him,
Auspiciousness ebbed, the big drums blared and the Vedas
were chanted,
Penance
filled precious waters of Sindhu, Ganges, Cauvery , Godavari and
Narmadha were brought ,
And sage Vasishta holding a staff and water pot , performed
the coronation then.
9.Manirangu
Kasikkum veesam yena
karunayai cheyyum,
Gangaikkum adhikamai mangalam cheyyum,
Vaasiyaam moolathidai manathu arinthe uyyum,
Maamaayai ithai
kettal thaanaka poyyum.
9. This prayer
would do mercy like a part done
by Benares,
Would do more
auspiciousness than ganges,
And would make the mind understand the origin and grant him salvation,
And the great illusion would go away as one hears this.
10.Madhyama Kalam
Varithiyai anai
katti nadanthathu,
Vanathile malai
sumanthu chedrathu,
Vanathile kidantha
perum parayai ,
Masu neeki peru vazhvayayum thandathu ,
Kariyamethilum
thunayaga nindrathu,
Kalanayum
vazhakadiyum vendrathu,
Gathiyiladha kanam , nidhiyena vanthathu ,
Kaviyilum
Venkata kaviyum unarnthathu.
10.A dam was
built to stop the sea,
A mountain was carried over the sky ,
A big rock which was lying in the forest ,
Was purified and a great life was given to it,
It stood as help
in all that we did,
It argued with
God of death and won over him,
And when we were helpless , it came like a treasure,
And even Venkata kavi
realized because of it.
