Rama Raksha Stotram - Grantha

𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌰𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌾 𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍋𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌮𑍍 is a powerful hymn, in praise of 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍀 𑌰𑌾𑌮. 𑌰𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌾 means protection. Thus this stotram is often recited to obtain the protection of Lord 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍀 𑌰𑌾𑌮. Several verses are simply quoted from other great stotrams. It is believed that recitation of this powerful prayer would get rid of all the problems created by the nine planets.

This great prayer is said to be composed by a 𑌋𑌷𑌿 called 𑌬𑍁𑌧 𑌕𑍌𑌶𑌿𑌕, most likely referring to 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌰𑍍𑌷𑌿 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌮𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌰. Here 𑌕𑍌𑌶𑌿𑌕 refers to the lineage of 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌮𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌰 and 𑌬𑍁𑌧 refers to enlightened, thus referring to the enlightened 𑌕𑍌𑌶𑌿𑌕 𑌋𑌷𑌿, referring to 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌮𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌰, who became a 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌰𑍍𑌷𑌿, after the 𑌗𑌾𑌯𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍀 𑌮𑌂𑌤𑍍𑌰 was revealed to him, after several thousands of years of penance to please 𑌵𑌸𑌿𑌷𑍍𑌠 𑌮𑌹𑌰𑍍𑌷𑌿.

For the “Rama protection prayer”,
The sage is Budha Kousika, God is Ramachandra with Sita,
The meter is Anushtup (with eight syllables in a quarter), power is Sita, and Limit is Hanuman,
And I am starting the chant of this prayer to please Ramachandra.

I meditate on that Ramachandra, whose arms reach up to his thighs,
Who carries bow and arrows, who sits in a lotus pose,
Who is dressed in yellow cloths, who has eyes like the petals of newly opened lotus flower,
Who is always pleasant looking, who is the colour of the black cloud,
Whose sight is fixed on the lotus eyes of Sita, sitting on his left thigh,
And who shines in various decorations and who has a matted hair around his face.

I worship Rama whose jewel (among kings) who always wins and who is lord of Lakshmi (goddess of wealth)।
Through whom the hordes of demons who move at night have been destroyed, I salut that Rama।
There is no place of surrender greater than Rama, (and thus) I am servant of Rama।
My mind is totally absorbed in Rama. O Rama, please lift me up (from lower to higher self)॥37॥

Fair-faced lady (Parvati) ! My mind enjoys saying Rama Rama।
Uttering once the name of Rama is equal to the uttering of any other name of God, a thousand times॥38॥
