• Rām Rakṣā Stotra

  रामं लक्ष्मणपूर्वजं रघुवरं सीतापतिं सुन्दरम् काकुत्स्थं करुणार्णवं गुणनिधिं विप्रप्रियं धार्मिकम् । राजेन्द्रं सत्यसन्धं दशरथतनयं श्यामलं शान्तमूर्तिम् वन्दे लोकाभिरामं रघुकुलतिलकं राघवं रावणारिम् ॥

  rāmaṃ lakṣmaṇapūrvajaṃ raghuvaraṃ sītāpatiṃ sundaram | kākutsthaṃ karuṇārṇavaṃ guṇanidhiṃ viprapriyaṃ dhārmikam | rājendraṃ satyasandhaṃ daśarathatanayaṃ śyāmalaṃ śāntamūrtim | vande lokābhirāmaṃ raghukulatilakaṃ rāghavaṃ rāvaṇārim ||

  I bow to Rāma — handsome, the elder of Lakṣmaṇa, best of the Raghus, Sītā's husband; of the Kakutstha line, an ocean of compassion, a treasure of good qualities, dear to the wise, and righteous; a king among kings, true to his word, Daśaratha's son, dark-hued and calm in form; the delight of the world, the crown-jewel of the Raghu family, Rāghava, the foe of Rāvaṇa.
