Sri Rama has rescued
(given shelter) to Sugriva, who was beaten and thrown out by his elder brother
Indra who was in the form of Vali. Also Sri Rama blessed Sugriva to get back
his kingdom from his brother and destroyed (cleared) all his miseries. Brahma gyanis
(those who are having knowledge about vedas, scriptures etc) are like peacocks
they possess special quality of keeping away their materialistic happiness and
having their mind always with Sri Hari. For these Brahma gyanis, Sri
Ramachandra will act as clouds with full of water to keep them happy. Sri
Ramachandra is virtous son of Dasharatha who was the king of Ayodhya. For
Mukhya Prana's son Hanumantha he keeps happy like Sun keeping happy to Chakra
vaka bird (This is supposed to be ruddy goose which male and female keep
together and are patterns of marital happiness). Sri Rama's has got beautiful
face and it reflects full moon. He destroyed one eye of demon called Kakasura
and his supporters ie crows, when he hurt Sita* . One who controls all organs
of the body and the one who is superior (leader) to Sri Lakshmi Devi, Brahma,
Rudra, and all demi Gods. Sri Vadiraja is praying to Sri Ramachandra to give
him pure devotion to pray through his (Sri Rama's) lotus foots.
*Story of Kakasura
Sita narrates to hanuman
in tears about the incident of a crow which dared to tear off her chest while
the couple was having pleasing time together in the rich natural beauty of
their hermitage. The crow was kept on pecking her chest for meat
and Sita was making all efforts to wave off the crow without causing any
disturbance to her husband who was asleep on her lap. Shortly, she
went to rest on her husband’s lap and got up; once again the crow returned with
all its vengeance and started attacking her. At this moment, Rama got off
from the sleep and found her in tears and wet with blood all
over. The crow, son of Lord Indra was seen by Rama, he took a
sacred grass/Kusha/darbe grass and applied it as Astra (weapon made of chanting
Manthra) a powerful Brahmastra against the crow. It scurried to various
directions for protection, finally sought help at the feet of Rama. The
most compassionate Rama was kind towards the crow seeing its helplessness,
though it deserves punishment for its dreadful deed, the purpose of Brahmastra
a powerful weapon should not go waste, hence Rama shot the arrow on the right
eye of the crow and saved its life. The crow paid obeisance to Rama and
returned to its abode.

The powerful (mighty)
Sri Ramachandra is pleasant to the minds of all the people. When great saint
Vishwamitra, who acquired heaven and earth by doing penance, invited Sri Rama
to the forest he fulfiled his ambition and blessed him by going along with him.
Sri Ramachandra, one who has got pleasant (beautiful) dark-coloured body, while
on his way from the place called Mithale, he faced invitation for war from
Parashurama, one who was born in saint family (dynasty, vamsha). Although Sri
Rama & Parashurama are different incarnation of same Sri Hari, at that time
Sri Rama has shown his play (lila) by winning the war. There is nobody in the
world who is superior and/or equal to Sri Hari. Before meeting Parashurama, Sri
Rama has shown his unmeasured (unlimited) courage and fame to the world, by
breaking dangerous looking Shiva's (Rudra's) bow. After the incidence Sita devi
weds Sri Rama. Sri Vadiraja is telling that like this Sri Rama has won all the
times at all places and prays that his mind should always be winning and
roaming around with Sri Hari who is in the form of Sri Rama.

Sri Ramachandra, you are
shining like moon-stone (fabulous gem) to the Sun Dynasty. Your wife Sri Sita
is following you on the borders of the mountains and forests which are
difficult to access. Her face is looking like shining black bees, she is
decorated her face with curly hairs which are fickle (unsteady, shaky) and has
the edges of tilaka in her forehead (tilaka= ornamental mark on the forehead
with coloured earth). The Forest which you are walking (roaming) possess
dangerous demons (rakshaas, asuras) who are living with their wives. These she
demons are always talking and speaking vulgar (bad) words and their face is
decorated by curly hairs. When you destroyed all of them their face decoration
was looking very ugly. Sri Sita is following your bow without any fear, which
has concluded (finished) the she demons curly hairs decoration. Sri Vadiraja is
praying Sri Lakshmi who is in the form of Sri Sita to protect him.

In Chitrakoota parvatha
(mountain, forest) when Sri Ramachandra was living many saints were also there.
They were doing vigourous penance and are observing strict austerity and
control over their organs (indriya nighraha), because of that they were very
weak. Ravana and his followers (demons) were disturbing (giving irritations)
these saints. When Sri Rama was living in this mountain he destroyed all demons
who were disturbing the yaga's which the saints were doing, because of that all
saints were living there without any fear and also without having any samsaric
miseries. Like this Sri Vadiraja is praying that the God who has the wealth of
resources is Sri Ramachandra and praying him to give peace of mind and utmost
devotion towards him at all times.

Sri Ramachandra bow is
shining like lightening sparkles and with mere shaking (movement) it destroys armies
of enemies. Winning the enemies Sri Rama has earned unmeasured fame. Sri
Vadiraja is praying to Sri Ramachandra to be kind enough (pitiful, merciful) to
him and prays him to bless the quality of bowing and praying his feet always
which gives him happiness.
Sri Vadiraja also prays
Sri Ramachandra to lift him from the well of sins (paapa kupa) (pit, hole) and
protect him the same way he has blessed the bird Jatayu with moksha (adobe),
while on his way to Pampa sarovara (pond). Jatayu is the brother of the bird
Sampathi and the one who has made war and lost with sinful Ravana.

On seeing (from her
fickle/shaky eyes) beautiful golden trickery deer, Sita Devi (daughter of
earth) desired to have it herself. Though Sri Rama knew that it is clever
Maricha who is in the form of animal deer, he went behind the same to clear
others curiosity. Later when Ravana kidnapped Sita, Sri Rama went in search of
her near Lanka. Vibhishana approached him for help and shelter. Sri Rama
blessed Vibhishana and promised him to get kingdom of Lanka.
Hanumantha, Vayu's son
has been assigned the job of searching Sita. In order to accomplish his
responsibility he crossed the ocean, went to the city of Lanka, entered Ashoka
vana, met Sita and gave the message from Sri Rama. On completing the mission,
Hanumatha started destroying the trees of Ashoka Vana and there he had big war
with Ravana's followers (asuras). Though Hanumantha can withstand Indrajit's
Brahmastra, he acted as if he has mesmerized by the weapon, then he was taken
to Ravana's court. There Ravana did not like Sri Hanumatha behaviour of
disrespecting him and he put on fire to Sri Hanumatha's long tail. From the
same fire Hanumantha has burnt the Chandra Shale (upper room of the palace) and
other buildings of Lanka. Then he crossed the ocean to give the message to Sri
Rama from Sita Devi. The same Hanumantha always keeps Sri Rama's foot dust in
his fore head.
Sri Rama crossed the
ocean and went near Lanka by the bridge which was constructed by the monkey's
army consisting of Nila, Angada, Nala and others under his direction. Sri
Vadiraja is praying and praising Sri Ramachandra that he is always winning.
