Hindi / Sanskrit Text

ततो युद्धपरिश्रान्तं समरे चिन्तया स्थितम्।
रावणं चाग्रतो दृष्ट्वा युद्धाय समुपस्थितम्॥
दैवतैश्च समागम्य द्रष्टुमभ्यागतो रणम्।
उपागम्याब्रवीद्राममगस्त्यो भगवान् ऋषिः॥

राम राम महाबाहो शृणु गुह्यं सनातनम्।
येन सर्वानरीन् वत्स समरे विजयिष्यसि॥

आदित्यहृदयं पुण्यं सर्वशत्रुविनाशनम्।
जयावहं जपेन्नित्यमक्षय्यं परमं शिवम्॥

सर्वमंगलमांगल्यं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम्।
चिन्ताशोकप्रशमनमायुर्वर्धनमुत्तमम्॥

रश्मिमन्तं समुद्यन्तं देवासुरनमस्कृतम्।
पूजयस्व विवस्वन्तं भास्करं भुवनेश्वरम्॥

सर्वदेवात्मको ह्येष तेजस्वी रश्मिभावनः।
एष देवासुरगणाँल्लोकान् पाति गभस्तिभिः॥

एष ब्रह्मा च विष्णुश्च शिवः स्कन्दः प्रजापतिः।
महेन्द्रो धनदः कालो यमः सोमो ह्यापां पतिः॥

पितरो वसवः साध्या ह्यश्विनौ मरुतो मनुः।
वायुर्वह्निः प्रजाः प्राण ऋतुकर्ता प्रभाकरः॥

आदित्यः सविता सूर्यः खगः पूषा गभस्तिमान्।
सुवर्णसदृशो भानुर्हिरण्यरेता दिवाकरः॥

हरिदश्वः सहस्रार्चिः सप्तसप्तिर्मरीचिमान्।
तिमिरोन्मथनः शम्भुस्त्वष्टा मार्ताण्ड अंशुमान्॥

एनमापत्सु कृच्छ्रेषु कान्तारेषु भयेषु च।
कीर्तयन् पुरुषः कश्चिन्नावसीदति राघव॥

पूजयस्वैनमेकाग्रो देवदेवं जगत्पतिम्।
एतत् त्रिगुणितं जप्त्वा युद्धेषु विजयिष्यसि॥

अस्मिन् क्षणे महाबाहो रावणं त्वं वधिष्यसि।
एवमुक्त्वागस्त्यो जगाम स यथागतम्॥

Then, seeing Rama standing exhausted and anxious in the battle, with Ravana before him ready to fight, and with the gods assembled to witness the conflict — the divine sage Agastya approached Rama and said:

'O Rama, O mighty-armed one, hear this eternal secret by which, dear child, you will conquer all enemies in battle.'

'This Aditya Hridayam (Heart of the Sun) is holy, destroyer of all enemies, ever-victorious. Chant it daily — it is inexhaustible, supremely auspicious.'

'It is the most auspicious of all that is auspicious, destroyer of all sins, pacifier of anxiety and grief, the supreme promoter of long life.'

'Worship Vivasvat (the Sun), who is radiant with rays, who rises in the sky, saluted by gods and asuras — the illuminator, the lord of the worlds.'

'He contains within him all the gods; he is luminous, nourisher of the rays. He protects all the worlds, gods and demons alike, with his rays.'

'He is Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Skanda, Prajapati, Mahendra, Kubera, Kala (Time), Yama, Soma (Moon) and Varuna (Lord of Waters).'

'He is the Pitaras, Vasus, Sadhyas, Ashvins, Maruts, Manu, Vayu, Fire, Prajapati, Prana, the maker of seasons, the illuminator.'

'He is Aditya, Savita, Surya, Khaga, Pusha, Gabhastiman, Suvarṇasadriśa (golden-hued), Bhanu, Hiranyareta (golden-seeded), Divakara.'

'He is Haridashva (whose horses are green), Sahasrarchi (thousand-rayed), Saptasapti (seven-horsed), Marichiman (radiant), Timironmathana (darkness destroyer), Shambhu, Tvashtra, Martanda, Ansuman.'

'Whoever glorifies him in calamities, hardships, forests and fears — O Raghava, that person is never overwhelmed.'

'Worship this Lord of gods, Lord of the universe, with one-pointed mind. Having chanted this three times, you will be victorious in battle.'

'O mighty-armed one, at this very moment you will slay Ravana.' Having said this, Agastya departed as he had come.
