Oh! Lord of Tulsidas, Oh! Hari, you have
beautiful eyes that resemble lotus flower petals, you remove the sufferings and
grief of your devotees with your compassionate grace, you have attractive limbs
of dark cloud complexion. You reside in the heart of Lord Mahadeva who is the
destroyer of Kamadeva, you have incarnated to annihilate the wicked demons, and
thereby reduce the burden of Mother Earth. You have provided great pleasure to
the Santh, Mahatmas, Munibrindha like the honey bees who take immense
pleasure in the meditation and contemplation of your lotus feet. You are the
protector of twice-born, righteousness, and Lord of distressed Jeeva. Oh!
Prabho, you have crushed the pride of the wicked demons, Khara, Dhushana and

battle, you are the King of Kings, who is the delight of King Dhasharatha, Oh!
Prabho, you are the precious gem of the Kingdom of Ayodhya, your glories and
boundless compassion are highly eulogized by the Veda, scriptures, illustrious
