Then, seeing Rama exhausted from battle and standing lost in thought, with Ravana before him, arrayed for war once more, Sage Agastya descended from the heavens to bestow sacred wisdom, for the moment of supreme crisis had arrived.
युद्ध से थके हुए, रणभूमि में चिन्ता में डूबे राम को, और सामने युद्ध के लिए उपस्थित रावण को देखकर,
दैवतैश्च समागम्य द्रष्टुमभ्यागतो रणम्। उपागम्याब्रवीद् रामं अगस्त्यो भगवान् ऋषिः॥
Daivataischa samagamya drashtum abhyagato ranam Upagamyabravid Ramam Agastyo Bhagavan Rishih
The blessed sage Agastya had come with the gods to witness the great battle. Approaching Rama with compassion and urgency, he spoke these words: the eternal secret that defeats all darkness was about to be revealed, and the fate of creation hung in the balance.
देवताओं के साथ युद्ध देखने आए भगवान ऋषि अगस्त्य राम के पास आकर बोले:
राम राम महाबाहो शृणु गुह्यं सनातनम्। येन सर्वानरीन् वत्स समरे विजयिष्यसे॥

O Rama, O mighty-armed Rama, hear this eternal and sacred secret. By this supreme knowledge, dear one, you shall conquer all your enemies in battle. This is the timeless wisdom of the cosmos, hidden from the unworthy, now given freely so that righteousness may prevail over evil.

Nashayatyesha vai bhutam tadeva srijati Prabhuh Payatyesha tapatyesha varshayesha gabhastibhih
He it is who dissolves all of existence at the time of cosmic dissolution. And he it is, the same Lord, who creates it all again with sovereign creative will. With his rays he sustains all life, with his heat he draws the waters upward into clouds, and then as rain he pours them back, nourishing every seed and every creature below.
यही प्रभु समस्त भूतों का संहार करते हैं और फिर उन्हीं की सृष्टि करते हैं; यही अपनी किरणों से जल सोखते हैं, तपते हैं और वर्षा करते हैं।
एष सुप्तेषु जागर्ति भूतेषु परिनिष्ठितः। एष एवाग्निहोत्रं च फलं चैवाग्निहोत्रिणाम्॥
Esha suptesu jagarti bhutesu parinishthitah Esha evagni-hotram cha phalam chaiva agni-hotrinam
When all creatures sleep, he alone remains awake, the eternal and vigilant witness. He is established within all beings as the innermost light that never goes out. He himself is the sacred fire of the Agnihotra ritual, the flame kindled at dawn and dusk. And he is the very fruit, the liberation, that the one who tends that sacred fire attains.
ये सब प्राणियों के सो जाने पर भी उनके भीतर जागते रहते हैं; ये ही अग्निहोत्र हैं और अग्निहोत्रियों को मिलने वाला फल भी।
वेदाश्च क्रतवश्चैव क्रतूनां फलमेव च। यानि कृत्यानि लोकेषु सर्व एष रविः प्रभुः॥
Vedash cha kratavash chaiva kratunam phalam eva cha Yani krityani lokeshu sarva esha Ravih Prabhuh
He is the Vedas, the scriptures of divine revelation given at the dawn of creation. He is the sacrifices and rituals, and he is also the fruit that those rituals bestow. All actions undertaken in all the worlds, every deed of righteousness and power, exist within and find their ultimate purpose in Ravi, the sovereign Sun, the supreme Lord.
वेद, यज्ञ और यज्ञों के फल भी ये ही हैं; लोकों में जितने भी कर्म हैं, उन सबके स्वामी यही रवि हैं।
एनमापत्सु कृच्छ्रेषु कान्तारेषु भयेषु च। कीर्तयन् पुरुषः कश्चिन्नावसीदति राघव॥
Enam apatsu kricchhreshu kantareshu bhayeshu cha Kirtayan purushah kashchin navasidati Raghava
O Raghava, any person who glorifies this Sun in times of calamity and crisis, in treacherous wilderness, in moments of fear when the heart itself threatens to fail, that person shall not sink, shall not be overwhelmed, shall not be destroyed. This is the shield of the Sun: invoked with devotion, it makes the devotee unconquerable.
हे राघव, विपत्तियों में, कष्टों में, दुर्गम वनों में और भय में, जो मनुष्य इनका कीर्तन करता है, वह कभी नष्ट नहीं होता।
पूजयस्वैनमेकाग्रो देवदेवं जगत्पतिम्। एतत् त्रिगुणितं जप्त्वा युद्धेषु विजयिष्यसे॥
Pujayasvainam ekagro Deva-devam jagat-patim Etat trigunam japtva yuddhesu vijayishyase
Worship this lord of lords, this master of all the worlds, with one-pointed, undistracted attention. Focus every faculty of mind and heart upon the blazing radiance of the Sun God. Recite this hymn three times without wavering and with absolute conviction, and you shall achieve victory in this battle, O Rama; this is the promise of the eternal Dharma.
इसलिए एकाग्र होकर इन देवाधिदेव जगत्पति की पूजा करो; इसका तीन बार जप करके तुम युद्ध में विजय पाओगे।
अस्मिन् क्षणे महाबाहो रावणं त्वं वधिष्यसि। एवमुक्त्वा तदाऽगस्त्यो जगाम च यथागतम्॥
Asmin kshane maha-baho Ravanam tvam vadhishyasi Evam uktva tadagastyo jagama cha yathaghatam
O mighty-armed one, in this very moment, in this very hour, you shall slay Ravana. With these words of absolute certainty spoken by the sage who sees the future as the present, Agastya departed as he had come, dissolving back into the realm of the divine, leaving Rama standing renewed, transformed, the fog of despair burned away by the Sun's own fire.
हे महाबाहो, इसी क्षण तुम रावण का वध करोगे। ऐसा कहकर अगस्त्य जैसे आए थे, वैसे ही चले गए।
एतच्छ्रुत्वा महातेजाः नष्टशोकोऽभवत् तदा। धारयामास सुप्रीतो राघवः प्रयतात्मवान्॥
Etach chhrutva mahatejah nashtashoko abhavat tada Dharayamasa supreto Raghavah prayatatmavan
Hearing these words of the sage, Rama, that great blazing hero, was freed from all sorrow. The grief, the exhaustion, the despair that had settled over him like a shroud lifted and dissolved. With a purified and tranquil spirit, with deep and joyful devotion swelling in his heart, Raghava held the teaching of the Sun within him as a warrior holds his sword, ready at last.
यह सुनकर महातेजस्वी राघव का शोक नष्ट हो गया; प्रसन्न होकर उन्होंने संयत मन से इस स्तोत्र को धारण किया।
आदित्यं प्रेक्ष्य जप्त्वा तु परं हर्षमवाप्तवान्। त्रिराचम्य शुचिर्भूत्वा धनुरादाय वीर्यवान्॥
Adityam prekshya japtva tu param harshham avaptavan Trirachamya shuchirbhutva dhanur-adaya viryavan
Gazing directly at the Sun with steady eyes, Rama recited the hymn and was filled with supreme joy. He sipped water three times in ritual purification, becoming wholly clean in body, speech, and mind. Then this mightiest of warriors took up his bow, his great bow that had broken the pride of countless foes, and he stood ready, his soul alight with the very fire of the Sun God himself.
सूर्य की ओर देखकर, इसका जप करके उन्होंने परम हर्ष पाया; तीन बार आचमन कर, शुद्ध होकर उस वीर ने धनुष उठाया।
रावणं प्रेक्ष्य हृष्टात्मा युद्धाय समुपागमत्। सर्वयत्नेन महता वधे तस्य धृतोऽभवत्॥
Ravanam prekshya hrishtatma yudhaya samupaghamat Sarva-yotnena mahata vadhey tasya dhruto abhavat
Beholding Ravana across the battlefield, Rama's spirit blazed with fierce and righteous exhilaration. He strode forward to battle with the totality of his divine strength and sovereign determination. With the complete force of his being, his every last reserve of valor and cosmic purpose, he resolved in that moment: Ravana would fall, and the world would be delivered from darkness.
रावण को देखकर हर्षित मन से वे युद्ध के लिए आगे बढ़े, और पूरे प्रयत्न से उसके वध का निश्चय किया।
अथ रविरवदन् निरीक्ष्य रामं मुदितमनाः परमं प्रहृष्यमाणः। निशिचरपतिसंक्षयं विदित्वा सुरगणमध्यगतो वचस्त्वरेति॥
Atha raviravadam nirikshya Ramam mudita-manah paramam prahrishyamanah Nishichara-pati-samkshayam viditva sura-gana-madhya-gato vachas tvara iti
Then the Sun God himself, standing in the midst of the assembled host of all the gods, gazed upon Rama with a heart overflowing with the deepest and most exalted joy. Knowing with divine certainty that the destruction of the lord of demons was now at hand, he spoke one final word to Rama: Hurry. The hour of victory, of liberation, of eternal righteousness, is now.
तब प्रसन्न मन से सूर्यदेव ने राम को देखा, और देवताओं के बीच से, रावण के अन्त को निकट जानकर, हर्षपूर्वक कहा: शीघ्रता करो।
Aditya Hridayam आदित्य हृदयम्
By Sage Agastya · 31 Verses · Ancient (Ramayana era) ऋषि अगस्त्य · 31 श्लोक · Ancient (Ramayana era)
This hymn appears in the Yuddha Kanda of Valmiki's Ramayana, recited by the sage Agastya to Lord Rama on the battlefield of Lanka. Rama stood exhausted and despondent before the seemingly invincible Ravana, and Agastya appeared to teach him this secret hymn to the Sun. After reciting it three times, Rama was filled with renewed energy and divine radiance, and immediately defeated Ravana. It is traditionally chanted at sunrise and before undertaking difficult endeavors.
यह स्तोत्र वाल्मीकि रामायण के युद्ध कांड में आता है, जो ऋषि अगस्त्य ने लंका के युद्धक्षेत्र में भगवान राम को सुनाया था। राम अजेय प्रतीत होने वाले रावण के सामने थके और निराश खड़े थे, तब अगस्त्य प्रकट हुए और उन्हें सूर्य का यह गुप्त स्तोत्र सिखाया। तीन बार इसका पाठ करने के बाद, राम नई ऊर्जा और दिव्य तेज से भर गए और तुरंत रावण का वध किया। परंपरागत रूप से इसका पाठ सूर्योदय के समय और कठिन कार्यों से पहले किया जाता है।

प्रसन्न होकर उन्होंने संयत मन से इस स्तोत्र को धारण किया।

gazed upon Rama with a heart overflowing with the deepest and most exalted joy.
Knowing with divine certainty that the destruction of the lord of demons was now at hand,
he spoke one final word to Rama: Hurry. The hour of victory, of liberation, of eternal righteousness, is now. तब प्रसन्न मन से सूर्यदेव ने राम को देखा,
और देवताओं के बीच से, रावण के अन्त को निकट जानकर, हर्षपूर्वक कहा: शीघ्रता करो।

with Ravana before him, arrayed for war once more,
Sage Agastya descended from the heavens to bestow sacred wisdom,
for the moment of supreme crisis had arrived. युद्ध से थके हुए, रणभूमि में चिन्ता में डूबे राम को,
और सामने युद्ध के लिए उपस्थित रावण को देखकर,
Approaching Rama with compassion and urgency, he spoke these words:
the eternal secret that defeats all darkness was about to be revealed,
and the fate of creation hung in the balance. देवताओं के साथ युद्ध देखने आए
भगवान ऋषि अगस्त्य राम के पास आकर बोले:
By this supreme knowledge, dear one, you shall conquer all your enemies in battle.
This is the timeless wisdom of the cosmos, hidden from the unworthy,
now given freely so that righteousness may prevail over evil. हे महाबाहु राम, यह सनातन गुप्त स्तोत्र सुनो,
जिससे हे वत्स, तुम युद्ध में समस्त शत्रुओं पर विजय पाओगे।
He who recites it always shall be led to victory; it is inexhaustible and supremely auspicious.
This hymn resides in the very heart of Aditya, the Sun, the soul of the universe,
and its power is infinite and eternal. यह पवित्र आदित्य हृदय समस्त शत्रुओं का नाश करने वाला है,
विजय दिलाने वाला, अक्षय और परम कल्याणकारी; इसका नित्य जप करो।
It calms anxiety and grief, and it bestows the greatest extension of life and vitality.
For Rama, crushed beneath the weight of sorrow and the burden of relentless war,
these words were medicine, restoration, and a call back to his divine purpose. यह समस्त मंगलों का मंगल है, समस्त पापों का नाश करने वाला,
चिन्ता और शोक को शान्त करने वाला, और आयु बढ़ाने वाला उत्तम स्तोत्र है।
adorned before whom both gods and demons bow in reverence.
Adore Bhaskara, the maker of light, the sovereign lord of all the worlds,
for in him resides the supreme creative and sustaining power of existence. किरणों से युक्त, उदय होते हुए, देवों और असुरों से नमस्कृत
विवस्वान सूर्य की पूजा करो, जो भुवनों के ईश्वर और जगत के प्रकाशक हैं।
nourishing all worlds with his life-giving rays.
All divine beings and the hosts of demons are contained within his being,
and it is his light alone that sustains every living creature in every realm. ये ही समस्त देवताओं की आत्मा हैं, तेजस्वी और किरणों से जगत को जीवन देने वाले;

He is Skanda, Prajapati, Mahendra, Kubera the lord of wealth, Yama the lord of death.
He is Soma the moon and the lord of waters, all divine forces unified in a single radiance,
for the Sun is not one among many gods but the living totality of all divinity. ये ही ब्रह्मा हैं, विष्णु हैं, शिव, स्कन्द और प्रजापति हैं,

He is the radiance even within all radiances, the light behind every lesser light.
O twelve-formed Sun, the twelve months and all forms of time bow in humble reverence before you. नक्षत्रों, ग्रहों और तारों के अधिपति, विश्व के पालक,
तेजस्वियों में भी परम तेजस्वी, हे द्वादश स्वरूपों वाले सूर्य, आपको नमस्कार।

कमलों को जगाने वाले मार्तण्ड को बार-बार नमस्कार।
Salutation to Surya blazing with the incomparable brilliance of Aditya.
Salutation to the all-consuming Sarva-bhaksha, devouring time and dissolution alike,
and to the terrifying Raudra form, destroyer of all that stands against the cosmic order. ब्रह्मा, शिव और विष्णु के भी ईश्वर को, सूर्य को, आदित्य के तेज वाले को,
प्रकाशमान, सबको भस्म करने वाले, रौद्र रूप को नमस्कार।

अन्धकार को नष्ट करने वाले, कान्तिमान, जगत के साक्षी को नमस्कार।
And he it is, the same Lord, who creates it all again with sovereign creative will.
With his rays he sustains all life, with his heat he draws the waters upward into clouds,
and then as rain he pours them back, nourishing every seed and every creature below. यही प्रभु समस्त भूतों का संहार करते हैं और फिर उन्हीं की सृष्टि करते हैं;
यही अपनी किरणों से जल सोखते हैं, तपते हैं और वर्षा करते हैं।
He is established within all beings as the innermost light that never goes out.
He himself is the sacred fire of the Agnihotra ritual, the flame kindled at dawn and dusk.
And he is the very fruit, the liberation, that the one who tends that sacred fire attains. ये सब प्राणियों के सो जाने पर भी उनके भीतर जागते रहते हैं;
ये ही अग्निहोत्र हैं और अग्निहोत्रियों को मिलने वाला फल भी।
He is the sacrifices and rituals, and he is also the fruit that those rituals bestow.
All actions undertaken in all the worlds, every deed of righteousness and power,
exist within and find their ultimate purpose in Ravi, the sovereign Sun, the supreme Lord. वेद, यज्ञ और यज्ञों के फल भी ये ही हैं;
लोकों में जितने भी कर्म हैं, उन सबके स्वामी यही रवि हैं।
in treacherous wilderness, in moments of fear when the heart itself threatens to fail,
that person shall not sink, shall not be overwhelmed, shall not be destroyed.
This is the shield of the Sun: invoked with devotion, it makes the devotee unconquerable. हे राघव, विपत्तियों में, कष्टों में, दुर्गम वनों में और भय में,
जो मनुष्य इनका कीर्तन करता है, वह कभी नष्ट नहीं होता।
Focus every faculty of mind and heart upon the blazing radiance of the Sun God.
Recite this hymn three times without wavering and with absolute conviction,
and you shall achieve victory in this battle, O Rama; this is the promise of the eternal Dharma. इसलिए एकाग्र होकर इन देवाधिदेव जगत्पति की पूजा करो;
इसका तीन बार जप करके तुम युद्ध में विजय पाओगे।
With these words of absolute certainty spoken by the sage who sees the future as the present,
Agastya departed as he had come, dissolving back into the realm of the divine,
leaving Rama standing renewed, transformed, the fog of despair burned away by the Sun's own fire. हे महाबाहो, इसी क्षण तुम रावण का वध करोगे।
ऐसा कहकर अगस्त्य जैसे आए थे, वैसे ही चले गए।
The grief, the exhaustion, the despair that had settled over him like a shroud lifted and dissolved.
With a purified and tranquil spirit, with deep and joyful devotion swelling in his heart,
Raghava held the teaching of the Sun within him as a warrior holds his sword, ready at last. यह सुनकर महातेजस्वी राघव का शोक नष्ट हो गया;
प्रसन्न होकर उन्होंने संयत मन से इस स्तोत्र को धारण किया।
He sipped water three times in ritual purification, becoming wholly clean in body, speech, and mind.
Then this mightiest of warriors took up his bow, his great bow that had broken the pride of countless foes,
and he stood ready, his soul alight with the very fire of the Sun God himself. सूर्य की ओर देखकर, इसका जप करके उन्होंने परम हर्ष पाया;
तीन बार आचमन कर, शुद्ध होकर उस वीर ने धनुष उठाया।
He strode forward to battle with the totality of his divine strength and sovereign determination.
With the complete force of his being, his every last reserve of valor and cosmic purpose,
he resolved in that moment: Ravana would fall, and the world would be delivered from darkness. रावण को देखकर हर्षित मन से वे युद्ध के लिए आगे बढ़े,
और पूरे प्रयत्न से उसके वध का निश्चय किया।
gazed upon Rama with a heart overflowing with the deepest and most exalted joy.
Knowing with divine certainty that the destruction of the lord of demons was now at hand,
he spoke one final word to Rama: Hurry. The hour of victory, of liberation, of eternal righteousness, is now. तब प्रसन्न मन से सूर्यदेव ने राम को देखा,
और देवताओं के बीच से, रावण के अन्त को निकट जानकर, हर्षपूर्वक कहा: शीघ्रता करो।
