Pratha smarami Raghu nadha mukharavindam
Mandasmitham madhurabashi visala phalam ।
Karnavalambi chala kundala shobhi gandam
Karnatha deerga nayanam , nayanabhiramam ॥

Prathar Bhajami Raghu nadha kararavindam
Raksho ganaya bhayadham varadam nijebhya ।
Yad raja samasadi vibhajya mahesa chapam
Sitha kara grahana mangalamapa sadhya ॥

Prathar namami Raghu nadha padaravindam
Vajrangusadhi shubha rekhi sukhavaham may ।
Yogeendra manasa madhruvatha sevyamanam
Shapapaham sapadhi Gowthama dharma pathnya ॥

Prathar vadhami vachasa Raghu nadha namam
Vaghdosha hari sakalam samalam nihanthi ।
Yath Parvathi swa pathina bhokthu kama
Preethya sahasra nama samam jajaapa ॥

Pratha sraye sruthinuthaam Raghu nadha moorthi
Neelambhujothpala sithethara rathna neelam ।
Aamuktha moukthika visesham vibhooshanaadyam
Dheyyaam samastha munibhir jana mukthi hethum ॥

Ya sloka panchakamidham prayatha padedhi
Nithyam prabatha samaye purusha prabhudha ।
Sri Rama kinkara janeshu sa yeva mukhyo
Bhoothwa prayathi hari loka mananya labhyam ॥
