sriramapratahsmaranam


(Click on the above link for the full poem)

Sample: At morning, I remember the lotus-face of Raghunātha, Whose smile is gentle, Whose forehead is large and speech is delectable, Whose cheeks are decorated by moving hoops--hoops that are supported from ears, Whose eyes are large and (seemingly) stretch to the ears, and Which is the most beautiful for eyes.[1]

Sample: When Sun ascended into aries triangle, then in the multitude of showering flowers Lord Jagannātha—Who is the supreme soul, and Who is eternal—was situated (manifested).[1] His complexion was dark like the petals of a blue-lotus, His apparel was yellow, He had four hands, His eyes were reddish like lotus, and He was decorated by shining kuṇḍala (ear-hoops).[2]

ramayanastakam

Ramayan Story (Ashtakam) by Animesh at Stutimandal

Sample: I adore Rāma, Who is the abode of existence, Who bestows everything, Who is desireless, Who is the comfort of the world, Who is the lotus-garland adorned abode of Śrī in Ksīrasāgara, Who is the comfort of the houses, Who starts the world, its absence, darkness, light and waves by playing with Māyā, Who reclines on a snake, Who is the pillar of universe, and Who starts the world.[1]
