In Ayodhya's dawn, a prince was born,
With eyes like dharma, calm and worn.
He walked the line of kingly grace,
With duty carved upon his face.
In Mathura's dark and prison stone,
A child of stars began to moan.
With anklets jingling joy and glee,
He danced to set the cosmos free.
Rama came to bind the land,
With bow in heart and law in hand.
He showed how truth must shine through tears,
A life of vows, of love, of fears.
Krishna laughed where shadows grew,
He bent the rules the wise men knew.
With flute in hand, he called the soul,
To find in play the deepest goal.
One held a kingdom on his brow,
One held the cowherd’s humble plough.
One walked in silence, deep and still,
One climbed the heart with song and will.
Both are the steps of Vishnu’s tread,
On earth where gods and mortals wed.
One taught us how to be the law,
The other—how to dance in awe.
रामजन्मकृष्णजन्मयोः काव्यम् Anushtubh Chandas, meter.
Rāmajanma-Kṛṣṇajanmayoḥ Kāvyam
अयोध्यायां दिने पूर्वे रामो राजा समुत्थितः।
धर्मचक्षुर्नयान्वितः शीलशीलसमन्वितः॥
मथुरायां तमोनद्धे देवकीगर्भसंभवः।
कृष्णो लीलामयो जातः शङ्खचक्रगदाधरः॥
रामो मर्यादया युक्तः सत्यवाक्यपरायणः।
कृष्णस्तु लीलया युक्तो भक्तानां परमः प्रियः॥
धनुष्मान् रामो धर्मज्ञो राज्यभारं वहन् स्थिरम्।
वंशिनादप्रियः कृष्णो गोपवेषधरः स्वयम्॥
रामो रम्यं नयत्यार्यं त्यागशीलं स्वधर्मवित्।
कृष्णः प्रेमरसासिक्तं भावयुक्तं प्रदर्शयन्॥
यद् रामे नियमः श्रेष्ठः कृष्णे तत्र विभूतयः।
उभौ विष्णुपदं नीत्वा लोकानां हितकारकौ॥
रामः शिक्षति सत्यं च धर्मं च नियमं शुभम्।
कृष्णः दर्शयते भक्तिं प्रेमपूर्णां परां गतिम्॥
