In what way will you show me your kindness, O great one of Surya dynasty Will it be possible for me to swim this ocean of worldly concerns, O lotus-eyed Rama!

caraNam 1

O son of Raghu clan! Sita?s consort! Protector of those that seek you! O Rama!
Abode of compassion! Boon-giver to your devotees! To see you is the real sight!
2. With love I told you well before that you are my Lord
Without forgetting now give me your consideration as I take refuge in You
3. I did several cruel deeds unaware of them, please do not count those crimes
Please remove my distress O jewel among the foremost of gods! O Rama!
4. You are the Teacher and Lord of my mind and all the Knowledge
Unaware that You are my Lord I became a roaming cruel being
5. You pervade in all these countless worlds arising from primordial eggs (of Brahma)
If we whole-heartedly think of Your name we get eternal bliss
6. Praised by Indra, Brahma, and various gods, O Rama, container of the ocean (built the bridge)
You possess shining great and good qualities O Lord of Bhadradri (Bhadra hill), Sri Rama!
7. Praised by Indra, sustainer of Ramadasa, my obeisance to you O Rama of Ayodhya
worshipped by your devotees, please give us protection from fear, O son of Dasaradha, Rama of Raghu clan
