Shree Raamachandra Asritha Paarijaatha Samastha

Kalyaana Gunabhi Raama Seetha Mukha Amboruha

Sanchareeka Nirantaram Mangala Maata Notu

Meaning: (Adapted From: Perfecting Carnatic Music, Level 1 by Chitraveena Ravikiran)

Shree Raamachandra is like the Paarijaatha (wish-fulfilling) tree to all ("samastha") his devotees ("asritha"). He pleases one and all with his divine ("kalyaana") qualities ("guna"). He is like the bee ("sanchareeka") that flies over the lotus ("amboruha") that compared to the face ("mukha") of Sita. May He grant ("maata notu") benediction (i.e. bless us) ["mangala"] forever ("nirantaram").
