O Heart! Sing praises of Sri Ram, who removes the fear of life and death
whose eyes, mouth, hands and feet are like a newly blooming red lotus.

I bow to Sri Ram, whose image exceeds myriad cupids, like a fresh, blue-hued cloud,
whose amber robes appear like lightning, pure and captivating,
who is the beloved of the daughter of King Janaka (Sita).

Sing praises of Sri Ram, who is the friend of the poor, the Lord of the Sun, 
who destroyed the lineage of demons of Danu and Diti, 
who is the dear one of Raghu, who is limitless joy, 
a moon to Kausalya and is the dear son of Dasharath.

Sing praises of Sri Ram, who has a beautiful crown on his head
and is adorned with ear-hoops, who has a tilak on his forehead,
whose shapely limbs are resplendent and whose arms extend to the knees, 
studded with bows and arrows, who defeated Khar and Dushan in a fierce battle.
Thus says Tulsidas, O Lord, who is the source of unlimited divine bliss of Shiva, 
Shesha and other great sages, O my beloved Lord, please reside in the lotus of my Heart 
so that all the worldly desires and other vices can be completely destroyed.
