श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज मधुर मकरंद मनोहरताई । मन मधुकरहिं पवाय सहित रुचि सुचि सनेह सरसाई ॥ सर्वोपरि श्रीनाम कान्ति कमनीय कहौं सुखदाई । युगलानन्यशरण सर्वस सद संपति नाम बड़ाई ॥१॥

Fresh English draft

Having caused the bee of my mind to drink, with pure delight, the lovely sweet nectar of Śrī Guru’s lotus feet, and having steeped it in affection, I shall tell of the supremely beautiful, joy-giving radiance of the divine Name. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: praise of the Name is my all-in-all and the true wealth of the good.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 22 / printed page 16 at 500 dpi. Diplomatic `पवाय`, `सर्वस`, and `संपति` are retained. The English follows the accompanying explanation only as a lexical aid and is freshly phrased; that modern explanation is not reproduced.

नाम परम अभिराम कामप्रद सदमत दृग से देखो । श्रीसीतावर नाम महामनि उजियारौ जग लेखो ॥ नाम सुजस गुनगान करो नित नाम प्रताप परेखो । युगलानन्य नाम सुमिरन बिन नर पाहन पवि पेखो ॥२॥

Fresh English draft

With the eye of sound understanding, behold the Name as supremely delightful and desire-fulfilling. Know the world to be illumined by the great jewel that is the Name of Śrī Sītā’s Lord. Daily sing the Name’s fair fame and virtues; discern the Name’s majesty. Yugalānanya says: without remembrance of the Name, regard a person as stone and thunderbolt—insensible and hard.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 22 / printed page 16 at 500 dpi. `सदमत`, `महामनि`, `उजियारौ`, `परेखो`, and the difficult final pair `पाहन पवि` are preserved as printed. The explanation understands the last pair as stone-like dullness and adamantine hardness; the translation makes that supplied comparison explicit without changing the root text.

जय श्रीयुगलकिशोर नाम चितचोर चैन चित दानी । जयति प्रियापरतंत्र लाल हिय हरन रहस रसखानी ॥ जयति सरस उज्ज्वल उतंग गुन घन अनुराग बितानी । युगलानन्यशरण जीवन जय विदित विभव बरबानी ॥३॥

Fresh English draft

Victory to the Name of Śrī Yugala-kiśora, stealer of the heart and giver of peace to the mind. Victorious is the Name that captivates the heart of the Beloved’s own darling, wholly governed by Her, and is a treasury of secret rasa. Victorious is that luscious, radiant, exalted mass of virtues, spreading loving attachment. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: victory to the Name, his very life, whose glory is renowned in noble utterance.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 22 / printed page 16 at 500 dpi. The diplomatic compounds `प्रियापरतंत्र`, `रसखानी`, `उतंग`, `बितानी`, and `बरबानी` are retained. The precise force of `बरबानी` remains a lexical hold; the translation adopts the explanation’s broad sense of authoritative or noble speech without claiming a resolved emendation.

श्रीसीतावर नाम मुबारक सादी सहर सोहावन है । परमानन्द परेश प्यार परतीति प्रभा परचावन है ॥ अनुभव अमल पार प्रीतम छवि छटा-घटा झलकावन है । युगलानन्य नाम सुमिरन बिन विविध बात बहकावन है ॥४॥

Fresh English draft

Blessed is the Name of Śrī Sītā’s Lord: an adorned and lovely dawn. It acquaints one with the radiance of love and trust in the Supreme Lord, giver of highest bliss. Within stainless, transcendent experience it flashes forth the massed beauty of the supreme Beloved’s form. Yugalānanya says: without remembrance of the Name, diverse discussions only lead one astray.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 23 / printed page 17 at 500 dpi. The source reads `सादी सहर`; its explanation offers both a festively adorned city and a simple, lovely dawn as possible construals. The English provisionally selects the dawn construal while preserving the source words and the unresolved alternative here. `परतीति` and `परचावन` are retained diplomatically.

तीरथ तप साधन कदंब कई कोटि किए क्या हासिल है । शीत उष्ण सिर सदा सहे से सुख शोभा भव भासिल है ॥ गिनती कौन कहे दानन को नाम हीन घुन घासिल है । युगलानन्य सियवल्लभ हित फकत नाम ही वासिल है ॥५॥

Fresh English draft

What has been gained by performing countless multitudes of pilgrimages, austerities, and disciplines? The splendour won by forever bearing cold and heat upon one’s head is merely displayed within worldly existence. Who could count one’s gifts? Without the Name they are worm-eaten and no better than grass. Yugalānanya says: for the sake of Sītā’s Beloved, the Name alone is the means of attainment.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 23 / printed page 17 at 500 dpi. The scan supports `कदंब`, `भव भासिल`, `घुन घासिल`, `सियवल्लभ`, `फकत`, and `वासिल`; their Persianate and regional diction is not normalized in the original. The exact syntax of line two remains provisional.

शेष शीश धारे धरनी निज नाम प्रताप प्रभा तें । मारतण्ड ब्रह्मण्ड विकसित नाम प्रभाव सुभा तें ॥ सुचि सीतल पवमान गमन गुन निखिल सुनाम समा तें । युगलानन्यशरण जपिये जग जीवन नाम प्रभा तें ॥६॥

Fresh English draft

By the splendour of the Name’s own majesty, Śeṣa bears the earth upon his head. Through the auspicious power of the Name, the sun makes the cosmic egg shine. The moon’s purity and coolness, the wind’s motion, and every virtue abide through the excellent Name. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: chant the Name, for the world and life subsist through its radiance.

Editorial note and reading status

The first two lines were directly collated on PDF page 23 / printed page 17 and the last two on PDF page 24 / printed page 18, both at 500 dpi. The scan’s `मारतण्ड`, `विकसित`, `सुभा`, and syntactically compressed `सुनाम समा तें` are retained; the last phrase remains a lexical hold.

होय-होय मदहोश खूब रसना से नाम उचारो । खोय-खोय ख्वाहिश खवास बिस्वास सुबास विचारो ॥ गोय-गोय गुन ज्ञेय नाम अनुराग दिमाग सम्हारो । युगलानन्यशरण नामहिं भजु तजु तम त्रिगुन पसारो ॥७॥

Fresh English draft

Become utterly intoxicated, again and again, and voice the Name with your tongue. Lose every desire and servitude to desire; contemplate the fragrance of trust. Repeatedly speak and ponder the knowable virtues of the Name, steadying the mind in loving attachment. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: worship the Name alone and abandon the dark expanse of the three qualities.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 24 / printed page 18 at 500 dpi. Repeated `होय-होय`, `खोय-खोय`, and `गोय-गोय` are authorial and preserved. The Persianate `ख्वाहिश`, `खवास`, and `दिमाग` are also retained. The explanation treats `गोय-गोय` as repeated attentive contemplation; that construal remains provisional.

नाम प्रताप अताप ताप तम कठिन कलाप मिटावेगो । काम कलाम दाम बामादिक दिशि से दिल सिमटावेगो ॥ श्याम धाम दुति राम दान दै पवि पन पीर पिटावेगो । युगलानन्य नाम करुना कल लाह ललित लिपटावेगो ॥८॥

Fresh English draft

The cooling majesty of the Name will erase the hard array of affliction and darkness. It will draw the heart back from talk of desire, wealth, women, and the like. Bestowing Rāma—the radiant, tender-limbed abode of dark beauty—it will drive away pains hard as adamant. Yugalānanya says: the Name, through tender compassion, will enfold one in beautiful longing.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 24 / printed page 18 at 500 dpi. The printed `अताप`, `काम कलाम`, `बामादिक`, `पवि पन`, and `करुना कल लाह` are retained. The explanation supplies the cooling, adamantine-pain, and beautiful-longing construals; because `पवि पन` and `कल लाह` remain lexically difficult, this unit is not checked-final.

Fresh English draft

Sink into the ocean of the Name and tear apart the leaf of self-regarding cleverness. Weeping night and day, body overwhelmed, delight in the Name and abandon deceit. Wash ill desire and expectation from the heart; plant the Name’s banner at its centre. Yugalānanya Śaraṇa says: rest happily at ease and overthrow the whole display of worldly entanglement.

नामानन्य प्रपन्न धन्य सो जिनकी गति मति ऐसी है । बाँकी कहनि रहनि कसरत गुन गहनि चहनि निज नैसी है ॥ प्रीति प्रनय परतीति एकरस श्री मजन लैले सी है । युगलानन्य इश्क वालों की कीमत चाहिए जैसी है ॥१०॥

Fresh English draft

Blessed is the surrendered one devoted to the Name alone, whose conduct and understanding are of this kind: graceful speech and living, disciplined practice, the taking up of virtues, and a distinctive longing of one’s own. Love, intimacy, and trust are of one flavour, like Majnūn’s devotion to Laylā. Yugalānanya says: the true worth of lovers is exactly what it ought to be.

Editorial note and reading status

Directly collated against PDF page 25 / printed page 19 at 500 dpi. The source’s serial nouns `कहनि रहनि कसरत गुन गहनि चहनि` and printed `श्री मजन लैले` are preserved. The accompanying explanation identifies the latter as the Majnūn–Laylā comparison; the honorific-looking `श्री` and exact case form remain unresolved.
