1.Nama parayaa vitha dhanu bhoothaye
Guna thrayaa bhasa
nimitha bhandhave ,
Adhyashta dhamne guna thathwa budhibhir-,
Nivruthamaanaaya dadhe swayambhuve.
Salutation to the
divine god , who has dignity of
truth,
Who is the basis
of nature, who cannot be seen ,
By those who
are drowned in the physical life,
Who is beyond ordinary rules and who has lustrous form.
2,Na yasya
sakhyam purusho avaithi
sakhyaa,
Sakhaa vasan
savasatha pure asmin,
Guno yadhaa gunino
vyaktha drushte,
Thasmai
mahesaaya namaskaromi.
Like the sense
organs not knowing what ,
Acts to do in
spite of , they themselves are going to
do it,
Though Soul is in the body where God also is,
It does not
realize God’s love, my salutations to
God.
3.Deho asavo akshaa
manavo bhootha maathraa,
Naa athmaanamanyam
cha vidhyu param yath,
Sarvam pumaan vedha
gunaamscha thajgno,
Na Vedha sarvajna manatha meede.
Because body and
mind are impermanent things,
They do not know themselves are those greater
than themselves,
Though soul knows
them and their place of origin,
It does not God on whom it depends and I think of that endless god.
4.Yadhoparaamo
manaso naama roopa-
Roopasya drushta
smruthi sampramoshaath,
Ya eeyathe
kevalayaa swasamsthayaa,
Hamsaaya
thasmai suchi sadhmane nama.
When mind leaving
what it sees and remembers,
And divorcing itself
from forms having names,
And rests, the god
with his divine truth clearly shines,
Inside him and I salute that God who lives in that pure
mind.
5.Maneeshino anthar
hrudhi sannivesitham,
Swa sakthibhir navabhischa trivyadhbhi,
Vahnim yadhaa dharunee paancha dasyaam,
Maneeshayaa nishkarshanthi goodam.
You who is hidden by our power of natural habits,
Is found out
by wise people using pure thought,
Similar to the
fire inside the
dry wood ,
Being brought out by
Veda manthras by Pundits.
6.Sa vai mamaa sesha
visesha maayaa,
Nishedha nirvana
sukhanubhuthi,
Sa sarva naamaa sa cha
viwaroopaa,
Praseedathaam aniruktha
aatma sakthi.
Let that God who
always enjoys the pleasure,
Of nothingness due to the negative aspect of illusion,
Get pleased with
me and that God who cannot be
Defined at all shows
himself in forms with names in
all things.
7.Yadhyan niruktham
vachasaa nirupitham,
Dhiyaakshabhirvaa manasaa votha yasya,
Maa bhooth swaroopam guna roopam hi thaththath,
Savai gunaapaaya
visarga lakshanaa.
Your form is not that is told by words, thought by
the brain,
Or understood by
sense organs or imagined by the mind,
They all are the forms of illusion with its own properties,
God is the one who can be understood by birth
and death of properties.
8. Yasmin yatho
yena cha yasya yasmai,
Yadh yo yadhaa
kuruthe kaaryathe cha,
PAraavareshaam
paramam praakprasidham,
Thadh brahma thadh hethurananydekam.
Before all that is
outstanding and
All that Is absolutely useless..
There is a thing
which is their,
Divine cause and
that is you.

who has unending,
Qualities, the power
of your Mayaa,
Creates passion and in ability to recognize ,
Among those
who enagage themselves in debates

Samam param hyanukoolam
bruhath thath.
People using
different approaches of Same dharma,
Called the yoga
method and Saankhya method ,
Describe as one
with form as well as one without form,
And you who are
the endless truth , Is
Brahmam told by both.
11, Yo anugrahaarrtham
bhajathaam paadha moolam,
Anama roopo, bhagavan anatha,
Naamani roopaani cha janma karmaabhir,
Bheje sa mahyam
parama praseedathu.
Though you are formless as well as endless,
For blessing those
who pray to you,
You assume name , do actions as well birth and Karma,
And I salute and pray that God and request him to bless
me.
12.Ya praakruthair jnana
padhair janaanaam,
Yadhaasayam deha gatho
vibhathi,
Yadhanila parthivamaasritho gunam,.
Sa easwaro may kuruthan manoradham.
Just like the wind takes
the perfume of,
All that it
touches, you assume different,
Forms as per the nature
of people who are your devotees,
And let that
God fulfill all my desires.
The prayer is in Bhagavatam Skanda6 chapter 4
