Janyo manuj kari danuj kanan dahan

Chhand, Under Doha 104 · Lanka Kand

Chhand Text

जान्यो मनुज करि दनुज कानन दहन पावक हरि स्वयं। जेहि नमत सिव ब्रह्मादि सुर पिय भजेहु नहिं करुनामयं॥ आजन्म ते परद्रोह रत पापौघमय तव तनु अयं। तुम्हहू दियो निज धाम राम नमामि ब्रह्म निरामयं॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jānyo manuja kari danuja kānana dahana pāvaka hari svayaṃ। jehi namata siva brahmādi sura piya bhajehu nahim karuṇāmayaṃ॥ ājanmata te paradroha rata pāpaughamaya tava tanu ayaṃ। tumhahu diyo nija dhāma rāma namāmi brahma nirāmayaṃ॥

Meaning

You regarded Lord Hari himself, the fire that burns the forest of demons, as merely a man. You did not worship the merciful Lord whom Shiva, Brahma, and the other gods bow to. From birth, your body was filled with heaps of sin and ever intent on harming others. And yet those changeless Brahman, Shri Rama, gave you their own abode. To that flawless Brahman I bow.
