Lord Rama

ಏಕಶ್ಲೋಕಿ ರಾಮಾಯಣಮ್

(Eka Sloki Ramayanam in Kannada)

Traditional

Eka Sloki Ramayanam is a concise devotional composition that encapsulates the entire narrative of Valmiki’s epic Ramayana within a single Sanskrit verse. By condensing the life of Lord Rama—from his exile to the forest and the abduction of Sita, to the defeat of Ravana and his eventual coronation—this stotra serves as a powerful mnemonic for devotees. It is traditionally recited during daily puja to invoke the blessings of Maryada Purushottama Rama. Chanting this verse is believed to bestow the spiritual merit equivalent to reading the entire epic, fostering inner discipline, righteousness, and devotion to the Lord.

ಏಕಶ್ಲೋಕಿ ರಾಮಾಯಣಮ್
ಆದೌ ರಾಮ ತಪೋವನಾದಿ ಗಮನಂ ಹತ್ವಾ ಮೃಗಂ ಕಾಂಚನಂ ।
ವೈದೇಹೀ ಹರಣಂ ಜಟಾಯು ಮರಣಂ ಸುಗ್ರೀವ ಸಮ್ಭಾಷಣಂ ॥
ವಾಲೀ ನಿರ್ಗ್ರಹಣಂ ಸಮುದ್ರ ತರಣಂ ಲಂಕಾಪುರೀ ದಾಹನಂ ।
ಪಶ್ಚಾತ ರಾವಣ ಕುಮ್ಬಕರ್ಣ ಹನನಂ ಏತಹಿ ರಾಮಾಯಣಂ ॥
ಇತಿ ಏಕಶ್ಲೋಕಿ ರಾಮಾಯಣಂ ಸಮ್ಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥
