परिगृहाण परमात्मनि राघवे

Answer 2

NO. √परिग्रह् TAKES ACC. ===> AND परमात्मनि राघवे IS JUST (CAUSAL) LOC. ABS. HERE: ‘Since Rama is the World Soul, embrace (my helpful advice)…’
\
√परिग्रह् == परि + √ग्रह् IX परिगृह्णाति , परिगृह्णीते HERE == ‘conform to, follow’ (+LOC), SO THAT
परिगृहाण परमात्मनि राघवे == ‘Give up your enmity towards Rama, who is Paramatma Himself’ (transl.) ; LIT., TAKING THE WHOLE HEMISTICH TOGETHER:
‘Accept the word of me speaking what is good for you in the case of Rama, who is Paramatma Himself.’
\
परिग्रह् P. A1. -gṛhṇāti-, ṇīte- (imperative 2. sg. -gṛhāṇa- ; imperfect tense -agṛhṇāḥ- ;3. sg. -agṛhṇat- ;3. plural -agṛhṇan- ; A1. -agṛhṇanta- ; perfect tense 1. sg. -jagr/abha- ;3. sg. -jagrāha- etc.; ind.p. -gṛhya- etc.) , to take hold of on both sides, embrace, surround, enfold, envelop etc. ; to fence round, hedge round ; to occupy on both sides (sarasvatīm-) ; to seize, clutch, grasp, catch ; to put on, wear (as a dress or ornament) ; to take or carry along with one etc. ; to take possession of, master, overpower ; to take (in war), take prisoner, conquer ; to take (food) ; to receive, (also as a guest) accept ; to take, adopt, conform to, follow etc. ; to take by the hand, assist ; to take (a wife), marry ; to surpass, excel ; (in Vedic or Veda gram.) to enclose (iti-) between a word twice repeated (see pari-graha-).

रक्ष राक्षसकुलं चिरागतं
        तत्स्मृतौ सकलमेव नश्यति ।

Answer 3

रक्ष राक्षसकुलं चिरागतं
तत्स्मृतौ सकलमेव नश्यति ।
I CANNOT MAKE THIS OUT, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND PADA
(?) ‘Protect the race of ancient (चिरागतं) Demons. In the mere mention/thought/memory of Him (Rama) the entire (race of Demons) perishes.’ (?)
YES. UPON CONSIDERATION I THINK THAT’S LIKELY TO BE RIGHT.
\
OR (transl.):
‘Do not be the cause of the destruction of the tribe of Rakshasas, whom you have raised to a state of great prosperity for a very long period.’ (transl.)

ब्रह्मणोक्तमरविन्दलोचन
त्वं प्रयाहि भुवि मानुषं वपुः ।
दशरथात्मजभावमञ्जसा
जहि रिपुं दशकन्धरं हरे ॥ २७॥

Answer 7

In addition to being a verse of mixed meter, the text of this verse is a bit strained. I think it goes like this:
\
ब्रह्मणोक्तम् == ‘(This was the) statement/reply of Brahma’
\
अरविन्दलोचन
त्वं प्रयाहि भुवि मानुषं वपुः ।
दशरथात्मजभावम्
== ‘O lotus-eyed-one! Go thou forth upon the earth AS a human body born of Dasaratha’
\
अञ्जसा
जहि रिपुं दशकन्धरं हरे
== ‘Easily kill the 10-necked enemy, O Hari!’
