TRANSLATION
1) O Rama, Who sanctified the beings of Dandaka forest! O Rama, Who destroyed the wicked Viradha! O Rama, Who was worshipped by Sage Sarabhanga and Sage Sutiksna! O Rama, Who was gladdened by the favours of Sage Agastya!
2) O Rama, Who was served by the king of vultures (Jatayu)! O Rama, Who stayed at the Pancavati banks! O Rama, Who arranged the loss of Surpanakha! O Rama, Who destroyed the (armies) led by Khara and Dusana!
3) O Rama, Who followed the dear Sita wanted! O Rama, Who swiftly completed the destruction of Marica! O Rama, Who searched for the missing Sita! O Rama, Who gave liberation to Jatayu, the king of vultures!
4) O Rama, Who ate the fruits offered by Sabari! O Rama, Who severed the arms of Kabandha!
