8. || Now begins the Śrīrāghavāṣṭakam
1
Lotus-eyed, clad in golden garments, / adorned with armor, equipped with bows, / destroyers of sins, granters of desires— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 1
2
Wearing crests of peacock feathers, protectors of the wretched, / Himalayas of steadfastness, possessing divine forms, / worshiped by the gods, endowed with long arms— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 2
3
Followed by the son of the wind, journeying on foot, / having sharp arrows, possessing purifying feet, / supremely pure and luminous, loving towards devotees— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 3
4
Roaming the forest, clad in garments of bark, / eating wild fruits, praised by Indra, / mines of excellent virtues, worshiped by the monkeys— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 4
5
Resembling a cloud and lightning, bearing swords, / having thick matted locks for clothes, dispellers of suffering, / holding arrows in hand, radiant as the sun— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 5
6
Protectors of the sacrifice, true to their promise, / terrifying in battle, endowed with daring, / compassionate in mind, worshiped by all— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 6
7
Wearing makara-shaped earrings, served by sages, / adorned with crowns of Manu, best of men, / lords of the line of Manu, speaking sweetly— / in secret I praise those two, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. || 7
8
Whoever recites in secret this Rāghavāṣṭaka, the abode of excellent qualities, / which grants devotion to Rāma, / freed from sin, in the presence of Rāma, / shines forever, with splendor equal to the sun. || 8
