1.Daksha  uvacha

Shudham swadhmnyu parathaakhila budhyavastham,

Chinmathra meka mabhayam  prathishidhya maayaam,

Thishtamsthayaiva purushthwamupethya thasyaam,

Aasthe   bhavaan  aparishudha yivathma  thanthra.

Daksha said

Crossing over all  the greatness  due to wisdom   and  mind,

You are  the  only pure power  which is fearless  and based  on only  your own importance

You who win over maya and live as pure entity, also   depend on Maya,

Work inside  that Maya and appear   as if you have lost your completeness.

2.Rithwik uvacha:-

(The priests  of the Yaga said)

Thathwam na they vayamananjana rudra  saapath,

Karmanya vagraha dhiyo bhagavan vidhamaa,

Dharmopa lakshana midham trivyadhadhwaraakhyam,

Jnaatham  yadartha madhi  daivamadho vyavasthaa.

Oh God, who has no taints, due to the  curse  of Lord Nandi,

WE can only  concentrate  on  vedic rituals  but would not  be,

Able to understand you reality  and as we  know  only  Vedas,

We know  the form of each  God as  described  in Vedic rituals.

3.Sadasya  uvacha

The audience   told

Uthpathysdwanya sarana uru  klesa  durge anthakrogra,

Vyaalaa nishte vishaya mrugathya shyaathmaa  gehoru bharaa,

Dwadwaswa brehalamya  ghabhaye soka dhave  ajna saarthaa ,

Padhowkasthe saranadha kadhaa  yaathi kamopasyashta.

Oh God who protects people  from the  troubles  of Samsara,

We the fools wandering in this forest, which are  very tough,

Where  the powerful serpent called death is hiding,

Where pleasure  and pain  are  creating  ups and downs,

Where evil beings create fear, where  the mirage ,

Attracts people  and  misleads  them from right path,

And the  family and other responsibilities  makes them carry a big burden,

And they are also sick by  the  disease  called  passion and anger,

And  When do such people like us get protection of your feet?

4.Rudra  Uvacha

Rudra  said

Thava  varada varaangravaasishehaa akhilaarthe,

Hyapi munibhirasakthairaadharenaarhaneeya,

Yadhi rachithadhiyam  maa vidhyaloko apavidham,

Japathi  na  ganaye thathwath  paraanugrahena.

Hey God  who blesses, your feet which can grant  all the needs,

Are suitable to be worshipped by greatly detached  sages  with great  respect,

And I whose mind is fully  entwined in you  , do not bother,

If ignorant people consider me  as banished from good practices.

5.Brugu uvacha

Sage Brugu said

Soyam  praseedathu bhavan  pranathathma  bandhu

Due to your  deep Maya, Brahma and other  persons  have lost,

Their consciousness  and  are  in the state of deep sleep  of ignorance,
