Ramachandraya Janaka: The Mangalam Song That Ends Carnatic Concerts & Prayer Sessions with Blessings

Hi all,
Ramachandraya Janaka is a classic “Mangalam” that’s often sung at the end of concerts or puja ceremonies to invoke blessings and peace. Thank you for listening.

Hope you like it.

Here are the lyrics:

rāmachandrāya janakarājajā manōharāya
māmakābhīṣṭadāya mahita maṅgaḻam ॥

kōsalēśāya mandahāsa dāsapōṣaṇāya
vāsavādi vinuta sadvarada maṅgaḻam ॥ 1 ॥

chāru kuṅkumō pēta chandanādi charchitāya
hārakaṭaka śōbhitāya bhūri maṅgaḻam ॥ 2 ॥

lalita ratnakuṇḍalāya tulasīvanamālikāya
jalada sadruśa dēhāya chāru maṅgaḻam ॥ 3 ॥

dēvakīputrāya dēva dēvōttamāya
chāpa jāta guru varāya bhavya maṅgaḻam ॥ 4 ॥

puṇḍarīkākṣāya pūrṇachandrānanāya
aṇḍajātavāhanāya atula maṅgaḻam ॥ 5 ॥

vimalarūpāya vividha vēdāntavēdyāya
sujana chitta kāmitāya śubhaga maṅgaḻam ॥ 6 ॥

rāmadāsa mṛdula hṛdaya tāmarasa nivāsāya
svāmi bhadragirivarāya sarva maṅgaḻam ॥ 7 ॥
