Sanskrit Original
जान्यो मनुज करि दनुज कानन दहन पावक हरि स्वयं। जेहि नमत सिव ब्रह्मादि सुर पिय भजेहु नहिं करुनामयं।। आजन्म ते परद्रोह रत पापौघमय तव तनु अयं। तुम्हहू दियो निज धाम राम नमामि ब्रह्म निरामयं।।
jānyō manuja kari danuja kānana dahana pāvaka hari svayaṃ. jēhi namata siva brahmādi sura piya bhajēhu nahiṃ karunāmayaṃ.. ājanma tē paradrōha rata pāpaughamaya tava tanu ayaṃ. tumhahū diyō nija dhāma rāma namāmi brahma nirāmayaṃ..
"You took for a mere man Sri Hari Himself, a veritable fire to consume the forest of the demon race, and did not adore the All-merciful, to whom, my beloved spouse, Lord Siva, Brahma (the Creator) and other gods do homage. This body of yours had taken delight from its very birth in harming others and was a sink of multitudinous sins; yet Sri Rama has absorbed you in His own being ! I bow to Him, the immutable Brahma.
