कपि सेन संग सँघारि निसिचर रामु सीतहि आनिहैं। त्रैलोक पावन सुजसु सुर मुनि नारदादि बखानिहैं॥ जो सुनत गावत कहत समुझत परम पद नर पावई। रघुबीर पद पाथोज मधुकर दास तुलसी गावई॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kapi sena saṅga saṃghāri nisichara rāmu sītahi ānihaiṃ। trailoka pāvana sujasu sura muni nāradādi bakhānihaiṃ॥ jo sunata gāvata kahata samujhata parama pada nara pāvaī। raghubīra pada pāthoja madhukara dāsa tulasī gāvai॥
Meaning:
Rama will destroy the demons together with the monkey army and bring Sita back. Then the gods and sages such as Narada will proclaim His glorious fame, which purifies the three worlds. By hearing, singing, speaking, and understanding it, one attains the supreme state; and Tulsi, the bee at the lotus-feet of Raghubir, sings it.
भव भेषज रघुनाथ जसु सुनहिंजे नर अरु नारि। तिन्ह कर सकल मनोरथ सिद्ध करहिं त्रिसिरारि॥ ३० (क) ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bhava bheṣaja raghunātha jasu sunahiṃ je nara aru nāri। tinha kara sakala manoratha siddha karahiṃ trisirāri॥ 30 (a) ॥
Meaning:
The fame of Raghunath is the medicine for the disease of worldly existence—birth and death. Whatever men and women hear it, the enemy of Trishira will fulfill all their desires.
नीलोत्पल तन स्याम काम कोटि सोभा अधिक। सुनिअ तासु गुन ग्राम जासु नाम अघ खग बधिक॥ ३० (ख) ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
nīlotpala tana syāma kāma koṭi sobhā adhika। suni'a tāsu guna grāma jāsu nāma agha khaga badhika॥ 30 (b) ॥
Meaning:
His body is dark and beautiful like a blue lotus, and His splendor surpasses that of millions of Cupids. His very name is like a hunter who destroys the birds of sin. One should certainly hear the cluster of virtues and pastimes of such Rama.
