ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||3||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Flocks of birds and peacocks, as though unable to bear their separation from you, are calling aloud. Cows, from their places in the cow-shed, are mooing, to welcome you.
śośrūyate nigamapāṭharavaḥ samantāt
vidyārthināṃ sakalavedavidāṃ dvijānām |
prātaḥ pradakṣiṇaparā stava bhaktavaryāḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||4||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Vedic chanting by the students, masters and the twice-born is heard all over the place. Your devotees engage themselves going round your Presence, early before dawn.

adyāpi yacchasi tathā śaraṇāgatebhyaḥ |
vāñcādhikaṃ phala mayācitameva yastvaṃ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||5||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. "The Golden-handed One" is how you are reputed to have been from boyhood; even today, the wishes of those who have surrendered themselves to you, are fulfilled, beyond their expectations.
līlāgṛhīta maraṇātmaka bhāvamūlaḥ
prāptastadaiva sahasā paramātmabodham |
mīnākṣyapāṅgakṛpayā madurānagaryāṃ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||6||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. By the grace of the side-long glance of Meenakshi, Mother Divine, you playfully experienced the death-state, while at Madurai and realised the Self forthwith.
bhittvā gṛhādika sudustara mohajālaṃ
śoṇācaleśacaraṇaṃ śaraṇaṃ prapannaḥ |
kaumāra eva bhagavatkara lālitastvaṃ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||7||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Even while yet a boy, you were fondled by the Supreme Lord Arunachaleswara, when you sought His shelter, after having torn asunder the impregnable net of delusion caused by attachment to home etc.
pātālaliṅga vivare bhagavannaho tvaṃ
daṣṭaśca kīṭamaśakaistapayañcharīram |
svātmaika bodhanirato hatadeha buddhiḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||8||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Oh Bhagavan! in the solitude of Patala Lingam, you were immersed in the Self, body-sense annihilated, even though it was undergoing severe austerities, bitten by insects, mosquitoes etc.
vāsaḥ kṛto hi bhavatā vividhasthaleṣu
skandāśramādiṣu tathā vikṛtākṣa nāmni |
kiṃ tvaṃ dhruvasya bhagavannaparāvatāraḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||9||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Oh Bhagavan! In various places such as Virupaksha, Skandasramam, have you stayed; are you really Dhruva reincarnate?

nāhaṃ śarīramiti niścita buddhiyuktaḥ |
so'haṃ prabodhayasi te caraṇānuraktān
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||10||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. You awaken your devotees to the truth, "I am that" by insisting, "You first engage yourself in self-enquiry WHO AM I and get firmly convinced that you are not the body".
śrīkāvyakaṇṭha birudā samalaṅkṛtaḥ san
abhyāgataḥ sakala vaidika śāstravettā |
dhanyo'bhavattava madhusrava dīkṣaṇena
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||11||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Your glance, dripping with sweetness, blessed Sri Ganapati Muni, honored with the title KAVYA KANTHAM, a scholar in the Vedas and scriptures.

nirmāya sadguru vinirgata vāṇimālām |
sadyastvadīya karuṇodaya sikta gātraḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||12||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Muruganar, the great Poet Laurette composed a garland of the Sadguru's sayings (GURU VACHAKA KOVAI) and offered it to you. Born of your compassion, he drenched himself by his compositions.
go kāka jantubhirapi praṇatai stavāṅghrau

ko vismayaḥ svajananī gatimuktihetau
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||13||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. No wonder you were the cause of your mother's liberation. Even cows (Lakshmi), crows and other creatures which surrendered unto you attained a state beyond the reach of famous yogis.
vyāso bhavānkimuta pārtha sakhā ca kṛṣṇo
saddarśanaṃ ca kṛtavānupadeśasāram |

ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||14||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. You have composed SAD DARSANAM (on par with Upanishads), UPADESA SARAH (akin to Brahma Sutras) and RAMANA GITA, whose glory is unrivalled. Oh Great One! Are you Maharshi Vyasa or Lord Krishna, Arjuna's companion?
nāhaṃ hariḥ śivagururna yatīśvaro'haṃ
hṛtkandarastharamaṇo hyaruṇācaleśo |
pīyūṣanātha yatimāha bhavānkṛpāluḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||15||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. In compassion, you told Amrthanatha Yati, "I am not HARI (Vishnu ) or SIVAGURU (Subrahmania) or SIVA. I AM Ramana of ARUNACHALA, the Supreme Self, the indweller of all hearts viz. ARUNACHALESWARA".
saṃyāntyihāśramapadaṃ kamanīya kīrtiṃ
tvaddarśanotsukatayā vividhāśca siddhāḥ |
bibhranti te khagamṛgādiśarīra veṣaṃ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||16||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Many a Siddha comes to this Ashram of great fame with a longing to see you; they come disguised as animals and birds by taking these forms.
bhrāntā vibhinna guru bodhita yogamārgāḥ
śrāntāḥ prayatnabahulaṃ tapa ācarantaḥ |
teṣāṃ vicāraṇapathā ṛjumārgadarśī
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||17||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. You have shown the straight-forward path of self-enquiry to those deluded in the yoga- paths advocated by various preceptors and to those weary, performing tiring austerities.
ākarṣitāḥ samupayānti videśato'pi
maunena bodhayasi kiṃ raha ātmatattvam |
necchanti gantumita eva gataiśca māsaiḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||18||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Is it that the knowledge of the Self is taught by you in secret to those attracted by you and are coming from foreign countries? Even after months they are reluctant to leave your Presence.
līlāgṛhīta nara veṣatanuṃ bhavantaṃ
śoṇādrinātha mahasaḥ priyavatsabhūtam |
vettuṃ hi vāstavatayā kati vā samarthāḥ
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||19||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. How many are capable of understanding your reality, You, who have assumed a human body by sport; you have become the favorite child of the effulgent Lord of Arunachala.
śaktyāyudhaṃ hi na ca te na mayūra vāho
guptāvatāra bhagavān ramaṇāpadeśaḥ |
tvaṃ ṣaṇmukhaḥ śivasuto vadanaikadhārī
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||20||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala! You have secretly incarnated in the guise of Bhagavan Ramana. Although, possessing only one face, you are verily the six faced Subrahmania, Lord Siva's son, though you neither possess the Sakti weapon nor do you mount the peacock.
śoṇo giriḥ smaraṇamātra vimokṣahetuḥ
sārthīkṛto bhagavatā ramaṇābhidhena |
śoṇācaleśapadapadmasamarpitena
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||21||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. Arunachala liberates those who merely remember IT. You Bhagavan, by dedicating yourself to the feet of Arunachaleswara, have reinforced it.
atyāśrame vicarataḥ śukavāmadevān
ko vetti kintu bhagavān ramaṇo hi dṛṣṭaḥ |
pratyakṣa eva samakālajanairanekaiḥ
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||22||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. Who has seen Suka and Vamadeva, reputed as wandering sages, beyond the restrictions of Varnashrama? However, many contemporaneous people have actually seen Bhagavan Ramana face to face.
kiṃ vāruṇācala vibhūti kṛtā ca kāntiḥ
kiṃ vādrinātha ramaṇasya taḍitprabhaiva ?
ko'yaṃ prakāśa iti vettu maśakta dhīrme
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||23||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. My mind is not capable of deciding what kind of light this is. Is it the effulgence of glorious Arunachala or the scintillating lightning-like splendor of Ramana, Lord of this Hill!
kūjanti pakṣinivahā madhuraiḥ svanaistvāṃ
bhrājanti padmanivahāstaruṇārkabhāsā |
modanti bhaktanivahāścaraṇāmṛtāśāḥ
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||24||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. Flocks of birds sing your name in melodious voices. Lotuses are glowing by the rays of the rising sun. Devotees in groups happily wait for consecrated water- CharaNAmRta.

tvatpūjanāya dhṛtamaṅgala vastuhastāḥ |
nāryaśca gāyanaparāḥ purataḥ sthitāste
śrīśoṇaśailabhagavaṃ stava suprabhātam ||
||25||Good morning. Oh! Bhagavan of Arunachala. The Vedic priests, holding in their hands, auspicious materials are standing for your worship. Women, singing hymns of praise, stand before you.
gāyanti ye pratidinaṃ tava suprabhātaṃ
vindanti saukhyamiha bodhamayīṃ ca dṛṣṭim |
dehātmabhāva viratāśca vimuktamāyāḥ
ānandacidramaṇa bho tava suprabhātam ||
||26||Good morning. Oh! Ramana the Supreme-Consciousness-Bliss. Those who recite your 'Suprabhatam' hymn every day will be happy and gain a vision of true knowledge. They will cease to identify with the body and will be released from the clutches of Maya.
Arunachala! Thou dost root out the ego of those who meditate on Thee in the heart, Oh Arunachala!
