Meanings (From T.K. Govinda Raos Book) I give my obeisance (bhavayami) to Raghurama - belonging to the Raghu dynasty, who is the personification (raamam) of humility (bhavya) and noble virtues (sugunaa).

One who is effulgent (leelalasitham) with the most becoming side-glance (para-paanga) that bestows (vitarana) virtues (bhavuka). One who belongs (tilakam) to the Sun dynasty (dinakaranvaya), who in the process of protecting the Yaaga (savanna) - oblation of Visvamitra {son (suta) of Gaadhi}, annihilated (vanarachita) Subaahu and others. One who gave life (shaapabhangam) to Ahalya - the flawless one (anaghameesha). Who broke the bow of Siva, and became the beloved (praneesham) of Janaka-s daughter (sutaa) Sita. Who subdued (hara) the pride (garva) of wrathful (ghanakupitha) Parashurama, the son (raama) of Brigu and who reached (amitha) Ayodhya (saketham). One who was bound by the command (vaacha) of his father (arya - wise man), went (gatha) to the forest (vipina) along with (sahita) Sita and Lakshmana (soumitrim) by adjourning (vihita) the coronation (abhishekha). One who is equipoised (shantatam) and most virtuous (sheelam). One who visited (agatam) the place (nilaya) of Guha. Who gave the gem-studded (mahita-ratna-maya) sandals (Paaduka) to Bharata at Chitrakuta. One whose form (angam) is as beautiful (sundara) as Cupid (madana). One who killed (danda or dalanam) the demon Viraadha who lived in the forest (aranyaka). One who has the glory of possessing Vaisnavaastra, the divine weapon (dhataanu) given by Sage Agastya (Sucharita Ghataja). One worshipped (nutham) by Jataayu, the king (vara) of birds (padaga); resided (vihita-vaasam) in Panchavati and killed (haram) the demon Khara and others (adi) who came to fight instigated (vachana-aagata) by the dreadful (ati-ghora) Soorpanakha. One who vanquished (hara) the wicked (khala) maareecha, who came disguised (rupa-dhara) as a golden (kanaka) deer (mruga). One, who searched for seetha (janakaja-veshanam) kidnapped by the atrocious ten-faced (dashaasya) Ravan. He got acquainted (sangat) with Anjaneya and Sugriva (nabhomani-tanuja) at the banks (theera) of the river Pampa and annihilated (tanudalanameesham) Vaali. One who gave (kara-arpita) Anjaneya (vayu-soonu) the gem-studded (bhavya-ratna) ring (anguleeyam), brilliant (bhaasvara) like hundreds (shata) of suns (bhanu) to be given to Sita. One who received (darshanam) the exclusive (aneetanyuna) head-ornament (chudamani) sent (punara) by Sita through Anjaneya. O the lord (nidhim) of wealth (srinidhim)! You accepted (sritha) Vibhishana who surrendered (amilitam) unto you. One who is glorified (kalithavara) for the construction (bandham) of Setu, the bridge to Lanka. You are the vanquisher of wicked (khala) and dreadful (nissma) demons (pisitaasana); who severed (viraadham) the ten-headed (dasha-kanta) Ravana. One who is an embodiment of valour (atidheeram). Who went (yaata) to Saketa along (sahitha) with Sita (janaka-suta) who was holified (puta) by fire (jwalana). Who was crowned as king (patta-abhishekham). O protector (paalam) of the universe (vishwa), Sri Padmanabha.
