This is the 3^rd Shlok from Ayodhya Kaand. Many people choose to recite this beautiful shlok before a Ramayan Prachaar. When you relate Shri Ram Katha or when you hear this Shlok being recited, hopefully it makes a little bit easier to understand.
नील  कमल  के  सामान  श्यामल, सुन्दर,  सांवले  और  कोमल  अंग  वाले. जिन  के  बाई  ओर सीता  माता  विराजमान  हो  कर  के  इस  दृश्य  को  और  भी  सुशोभित  करती  है.
जिन  के  दोनों  हाथो  में  अमोघ  धनुष  और  बाण  इस  प्रिये  छबी  को  और  भी  निखारते  है . उन  रघु  कुल  के  शिरोमणि  को  हम  नमस्कार  करते  है , प्रणाम  करते  है .

Neel Kamal ke samaan shyaamal, sundar,  saanwale aur komal ang waale. Jin ke baai or Sita Mata viraajmaan ho kar ke is drishye ko aur bhi sushobhit karti hay.
Jin ke dono haatho mein amogh dhanush aur baan is priye chabi ko aur bhi nikhaarte hay. Un Raghu kul ke Shiromani ko hum namaskaar karte hay, pranaam karte hay.

At the beginning of a prayer we try and concentrate our senses - stop them from straying.
This Shlok builds  an extremely beautiful, royal picture of God in a human form. Tall dark and extremely handsome, tanned body, gentle and charming appearance. Equally beautiful Mata Sita adorns His left side. The presence of His bow & arrow in His hands are like the ornaments that further decorate this figure of unequalled beauty. We pray to Him to help us to control our senses (Indriya).
