ರಾಮ ರಕ್ಷಾ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್ is a powerful hymn, in praise of ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮ. ರಕ್ಷಾ means protection. Thus this stotram is often recited to obtain the protection of Lord ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮ. 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 ಋಷಿ called ಬುಧ ಕೌಶಿಕ, most likely referring to ಬ್ರಹ್ಮರ್ಷಿ ವಿಶ್ವಾಮಿತ್ರ. Here ಕೌಶಿಕ refers to the lineage of ವಿಶ್ವಾಮಿತ್ರ and ಬುಧ refers to enlightened, thus referring to the enlightened ಕೌಶಿಕ ಋಷಿ, referring to ವಿಶ್ವಾಮಿತ್ರ, who became a ಬ್ರಹ್ಮರ್ಷಿ, after the ಗಾಯತ್ರೀ ಮನ್ತ್ರ was revealed to him, after several thousands of years of penance to please ವಸಿಷ್ಠ ಮಹರ್ಷಿ.

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.
