supreme Lord “Oh! Supreme Purusha, who is the cause for creation, preservation, and destruction, performing all those functions as pastimes, resides as a soul in
living beings, and invisible, I shall prostrate before you. Oh! Bhagavan, you
are the cause for the elevation of virtuous soul, who has a thorough
knowledge of the presence of the supreme soul and takes immense pleasure in
contemplation upon the supreme Lord. Oh!
Bhagavan, you remain far from the ignorant, who are taking immense pleasure in
worldly matters and bondage. I shall prostrate that supreme Lord whose glorious
myths remove the grief and miseries of worldly existence, the practice of
remembrance, meditation, and worship would remove the impurities of the mind,
and provides all the auspiciousness. Oh! Bhagavan, the intellectuals envision
and contemplates upon your lotus feet in their hearts, they take pleasure in
the union with the supreme soul, keep themselves away from the material world,

supreme Lord. Oh! Bhagavan,
Thaspavi/ascetics who undertake supreme austerities, Dhanapara/who finds
pleasure in giving away charities, practice the contemplation upon you. An
ignorant do not realize the presence of supreme Lord and engages in chasing
material and sensual pleasures, I shall prostrate before that supreme Lord who
resides in the heart of intellectuals as well as in the ignorant. I shall
prostrate before that supreme Lord who resides as the soul in living beings,
meditated and worshiped by the tribal people/Kiratha and Yavana, and gets
purified their souls. Oh! Bhagavan, Lord Bhrama and Lord Shankara contemplate upon
the supreme Lord and engage in extreme austerities and penance, Oh! Bhagavan, kindly
shower your compassionate grace on us.

Yajjapathi who is the Lord of sacrifices, Prajapathi who is the Lord of
Praja/Jeeva, Lokapathi who is the protector of Universe, Dharapathi who is the Lord of Goddess Dhara/Earth,
Ganadhipa and Vrishnipathi, symbolizes Sathvik nature, kindly shower your
compassionate grace on us. Oh! Mukunda, the intellectuals and supreme ascetics
takes pleasure envisioning the lotus feet of Supreme Lord in their hearts,
realizes your all-pervasive nature and oneness-in-all, and describes your
splendor. Oh! Mukunda kindly showers your compassionate grace on us. Oh! Bhagavan who represents the five
essential elements, creates Universe and its living beings and resides as soul
in it, is the source of functioning of Karma and Gnana indriyas/Shabdha,
Sparsha, Roop,Rasa and Gandh. Oh! Purusha, I shall repeatedly prostrate before
you, kindly take your presence in my words. Oh! Rajan, I am able to answer all
your queries with the presence of that supreme Lord in me, I shall elaborate
the incidents took place long ago, that was narrated by Maharishi Narada.”
