Attempted Translation:
May Shri Sita Ram Ji ke guno ke bhandaar roopi punye nirmal van mein vihaar (enjoyable leisurely stroll) karne waale vishuddh vigyaani Sri Vaalmiki Ji aur Sri Hanumaan Ji , dono ko, pranaam (acknowledge) karta hu.
 
Vaatika is the gardens and plots we have. With defined borders and limits. Then comes the Baag (Bageecha) which is a collection of flower, fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs. This is bigger than the garden but still has limits. Van (forest) indicates freedom, boundless, abundance.  
 
Freedom does Not mean without restriction. Freedom means the liberty and independence to do anything and everything, bound by a set of rules, that equally applies to everybody, without exceptions.
