MA KAUSALYAS’S THALATTU SONG ON LORD RAMA
The following are the some of the sweet Thalattu songs of Ma Kausalya on Lord Rama, which was sung by her in order to make her Child Rama to sleep properly during night times.
Oh My Dear Rama, Sleep well, sleep well, sleep comfortably on my lap. The weather is good, and my affectionate arms are gently rubbing on your body, you have drunk sufficient milk, and now it is the time for you to sleep well!
Oh My Dear Rama, even during the time of sleep, your face doesn’t appear dull, but it looks brighter similar to the full moon. Even if you touch the ordinary water on your tender hands, very soon, it would become the divine nectar. The sounds of the breath which you release from your nose is like hearing the Gandharva Gana, and even if you drink the poison, it would not harm you, since you are taking rest in the Divine serpent bed Adisesha.
My Rama would do Leelas, my Rama would do miracles. Rama who is also called as Srirama is my precious child. He would also sleep on the lap of the mothers of Ayodhya without disturbing them, and he used to show his lovely smile, when he was hugged by them.
My Child Rama is the one, who is the creator of all worlds, and he is able to protect the entire universe, I don’t know what kind of meditation I have done in my past births, in order to have such a lovely child Rama as my son?
My child Rama is the one, who contains superior powers than that of Brahma and Indra, but I am able to tie Rama on my soul, since I love him so much.
My Child Rama is worshipped even by the great sages like Sanaka, and with his gentle smile, he steals the hearts of everyone, and I have been very much blessed to grow up my beloved child Rama under my lap.
My Child Rama would release his devotees from the repeated chain of birth cycles. Those who worship him sincerely need not worry about their life, since they have been well-protected by my wonderful child Rama.
My Child Rama is the child not only for me, but for the entire mothers in the world. He brings happiness to those who suffer from worries, provides food to the hunger, removes the sins of the sinners, and shows the proper path in the lives of his devotees. He is called by various names such as Raghurama, Dasaratarama, Ramachandra and Srirama.
My Child Rama does not harm anyone, but he would give a soothing effect to the pains of the devotees, kill their bad habits, and make them to lead a disciplined life. Being his mother, his divine qualities cannot be praised fully even by me, since he is beyond our imagination.
