Jay ram rup anup nirgun sagun

Chhand 1, Under Doha 32 · Aranya Kand

Chhand Text

जय राम रूप अनूप निर्गुन सगुन गुन प्रेरक सही। दससीस बाहु प्रचंड खंडन चंड सर मंडन मही॥ पाथोद गात सरोज मुख राजीव आयत लोचनं। नित नौमि रामु कृपाल बाहु बिसाल भव भय मोचनं॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jaya rāma rūpa anūpa nirguna saguna guna preraka sahī। dasasīsa bāhu pracaṃḍa khaṃḍana caṃḍa sara maṃḍana mahī॥ pāthoda gāta saroja mukha rājīva āyata locanaṃ। nita naumi rāmu kṛpāla bāhu bisāla bhava bhaya mocanaṃ॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Victory to Rama, whose form is incomparable; who is beyond गुण and yet endowed with गुण; truly the mover of qualities. With mighty arrows He shattered the powerful arms of Ravana, the ten-headed one; He adorns the earth; He has a dark body like a rain-filled cloud; a lotus-like face and wide lotus-like eyes; broad arms; and He frees beings from the fear of worldly existence. To that merciful Rama I bow every day.
