Meaning:
O Most Beloved Divine Lord Sri Rama, Thou art The Indweller of every Soul. Glorious art Thou O Ever-Victorious, Beloved Divine Prince of Dasharatha. Thou art the Life and Soul of Mother Janaki and Ayodhya is Thy Divine Abode. O Lord Sri Rama, Thou Art The ONE Who lived in Exile in the forest for 14 years. Thou art The Compassionate ONE, Who Liberated Mother Ahalya from the curse of Sage Gautam and transformed her from stone to human being, by throwing dust on the stone with Thy Divine Foot. O Ever-Victorious Lord, Thou Loves Thy devotees Immensely and we sing and chant Thy Divine Name and Glories incessantly. (Mother Ahalya was the most virtuous wife of Sage Gautama. Once when Gautam Rishi was away from home, Lord Indra came in the form of Gautam Rishi and Mother Ahalya couldn’t recognize that he was not her husband. While Lord Indra was leaving, Gautam Rishi arrived and he was furious to see him. So he cursed his wife that she would become a stone. When she started pleading, he agreed that only when The Lord touched her she would come back to human form. Ages passed and Mother Ahalya lay down as a stone. Now, when Lord Sri Rama came to the Ashram of Gautam Rishi HE found it all abandoned and when HE inquired with Sage Vishwamitra, HE was told that it was Gautam Rishi’s Ashram and he had passed away since ages. Lord Sri Rama just threw some dust with HIS Foot on the stone which was Ahalya. She stood there in human form and touched HIS FEET.)
