रामचन्द्रमसं दृष्ट्वा ग्रस्तं रावणराहुणा ।
उपगम्या ब्रवीद्रामम् अगस्त्यो भगवानृषिः ॥
 
Looking at the moon of a Rama in the
grip of the Rahu of a Ravana, the blessed
seer Agastya came near and said to
Rama.
 
राम राम महाबाहो शृणु गृह्यं सनातनम् ।
येन सर्वानरीन् वत्स समरे विजयिष्यसि ॥

"O mighty-armed Rama, darling Rama,
hear this a traditional secret by which you
will be able to conquer in battle all your
 
enemies.
 
आदित्यहृदयं पुण्यं सर्वशत्रुविनाशनम् ।
जयावहं जपेन्नित्यम् अक्षय्यं परमं शिवम् ।
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्यं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् ।
चिन्ताशोकप्रशमनम् आयुर्वर्धनमुत्तमम् ॥
 
One should constantly mutter the
Aditya-Hridaya mantra which is holy,
capable of destroying all foes, bringer of
victory, indestructible and highly auspi-
cious, the most beneficent of beneficent
things, the destroyer of all sins, the
extinguisher of anxiety and sorrow and
the best prolonger of life.
