Lakshman Sir, Thanks for the Lyrics. My pranams.

[smala]

A short and sweet reminder - would love a translation.

[aaaaabbbbb]

There is a small typo in the first line.The word"hamnumanta" is to be read as "hanumanta"
The meaning:
Oh!Hanumanta,your heart is immersed in the nectar of SitaRama katha.
You are intelligent.You are valiant.[p]
Your graceful figure is adorned with a string of precious stones of Ramanama.
Reciting your beautiful story in Ramayana will redeem the sinners
You are the embodiment of truth.You are well versed in samagana,
You have conquered death,Oh!valiant one,protect us.

[Lakshman]

Thanks.

[smala]

Smt. Savitri thanks very much.

can you clarify :
ramaNIyAnkita gAtra sItA

[Sundara Rajan]

Let me try
"ramaNiyAkita gAtra rAmanAmamaNimAlankrita" has been translated as "your graceful figure adorned with a string of precious stones of rAmanAma". The next word sita goes with rAma in the Pallavi as "sitArAmakathA"

[PUNARVASU]

Smt. Savitri thanks very much.

can you clarify :
ramaNIyAnkita gAtra sItA

I feel it is
ramaNIyAnkita gAtra-Hanuman, with his beautifully adorned body .
sItA-this pairs with the pallavi line-'rAmakatha sudha', as does the last word of the caraNam 'raghu'

[smala]

Aha, it was looping, thanks, Sri Sundara Rajan and Punarvavasu

[aaaaabbbbb]

Sundararajan ji ,PUNARVASU ji,
Thank you very much.The name Sita in the anupallavi and raghu in the last line of carana go along with
the pallavi.It would be sung as, "SitaRama katha ..........."and "RaghuRama katha..................".
I thought of writing the meaning of the word"ramanIyAnkita gAtra" as "a graceful figure,dedicated"{ramanIyagAtra, ankita}
"to SitAraAma kaTha which is like nectar to the heart of....."
Thank you once again.

[Rajani]

Thank You, Mrs Savitri for that lovely translation.

"rAmAyaNamuna nI sundara katha pArAyaNamE patita pAvanamu" would probably refer to the Sundara-Kaandam which is the most auspicious for "paaraayaNam" amongst all the cantos, yet talks of the valour of Hanumaan, not the hero Raama.

[aaaaabbbbb]

Rajani ji,
Thank you very much.Sundara kanda is supposed to be the favourite chapter of Sri Rama.
Whenever Ramayana is read, it is started with sundara kanda. .
Once the paaraayaNam is complete sundara kanda is read once again.
You are right.The reference is to sundara kanda.

[rshankar]

Sundara kanda is supposed to be the favourite chapter of Sri Rama.
Whenever Ramayana is read, it is started with sundara kanda. .

That is because sundara kANDa summarizes the purva kathA (as recited by hanumAn to sItA to gain her trust and prove that he is the genuine article) and the future - the outcome of the inevitable rAma-rAvaNa confrontation - is described through the dreams of trijaTa. In addition, it has the description of hanumAn's valor....
