Ram Mantras · राम मंत्र

The thirteen-syllable chant of Ram's name and three short Sanskrit verses of salutation to Ram.

  1. श्रीराम जयराम जयजयराम ॥

    śrīrāma jayarāma jayajayarāma ॥

    श्री राम! राम की जय! राम की जय हो, जय हो!

    Shri Ram! Victory to Ram! Victory, victory to Ram!

  2. रामरामेति रामेति रमे रामे मनोरमे । सहस्रनामतत्तुल्यं रामनाम वरानने ॥

    rāmarāmeti rāmeti rame rāme manorame । sahasranāmatattulyaṃ rāmanāma varānane ॥

    (शिव पार्वती से कहते हैं:) हे सुमुखी, मैं "राम, राम" कहते हुए मनोहर राम में रमता हूँ; राम का नाम (विष्णु के) सहस्र नामों के बराबर है।

    (Shiva says to Parvati:) O lovely-faced one, I delight in Ram, the beautiful, repeating "Ram, Ram"; the name of Ram is equal to the thousand names (of Vishnu).

  3. आपदामपहर्तारं दातारं सर्वसम्पदाम् । लोकाभिरामं श्रीरामं भूयो भूयो नमाम्यहम् ॥

    āpadāmapahartāraṃ dātāraṃ sarvasampadām । lokābhirāmaṃ śrīrāmaṃ bhūyo bhūyo namāmyaham ॥

    विपत्तियों को हरने वाले, सब संपदाओं के दाता, संसार को आनंद देने वाले श्रीराम को मैं बार-बार नमस्कार करता हूँ।

    Again and again I bow to Shri Ram, the remover of calamities, the giver of all wealth, the delight of the world.

  4. रामाय रामभद्राय रामचन्द्राय वेधसे । रघुनाथाय नाथाय सीतायाः पतये नमः ॥

    rāmāya rāmabhadrāya rāmacandrāya vedhase । raghunāthāya nāthāya sītāyāḥ pataye namaḥ ॥

    राम को, रामभद्र को, रामचंद्र को, सृष्टिकर्ता को; रघुनाथ को, स्वामी को, सीता के पति को नमस्कार है।

    Salutation to Ram, to Ramabhadra, to Ramachandra, the creator; to Raghunath, the lord, the husband of Sita.

About this text

This page gathers four widely chanted prayers to Ram. Shri Ram jai Ram jai jai Ram is the thirteen-syllable name chant, sung in kirtan and written in Ram-naam books. Rama rameti, in which Shiva tells Parvati that the single name of Ram equals the thousand names of Vishnu, is the closing verse of the Ram Raksha Stotra and is often recited instead of the Vishnu Sahasranamam. Apadam apahartaram (remover of calamities, giver of all wealth) also comes from the Ram Raksha Stotra, and Ramaya Ramabhadraya salutes Ram under several of his names as the husband of Sita. Each prayer has been compared separately against independent editions.

How it is recited

The name chant is sung in kirtan or repeated on a mala; the verses are recited in daily worship and on Ram Navami. Rama rameti is traditionally said three times. Customs vary.
