The lotus flower does not know the taste of its nectar. That is tasted by the bumblebees.Similarly, 0 Lord, You do not know the sweetness of Your Name.

One who produced it has never tasted it.

Tkrm Mahrj says A pearl is born of the oyster but it is enjoyed by others. The oystershall never get to enjoy the pearl.

O Brothers, the Vaishnavas start dancing in the desert to the chanting Lord Haris glories.Making anger & false pride as footsteps they touch the feet of each other. As they dance tothe chanting of the Holy Name they are shielded to the influence of Kali and thus eachone is more powerful than the other. They are decorated with tilaka made of gopichandan,garlands & tulsi beads. The Kartal & mdanga make a tumultuous sound & there is ashowering of flowers. This enthusiasm of devotees is beyond comparison. Seeing themabsorbed in the kirtan, foolish people, women, scholars, janis, yogis, great personalities,siddhas & even the sadhakas achieve the state of samddh. Forgetting their position inVarnshrama and their castes they offer their obeisances to each other. Their hearts havebecome pure like butter & by their association even a stone hearted person melts.Tkrm Mahrj says, Lord Haris name is being Glorified & thus the sky vibrates. Thusvaishnavas with the bliss of bhakti, made an easy path out of the ocean of materialexistence.

The different types of trees & creepers, the animals in the forests, the birds singingsweetly are my relatives. By the bliss of this atmosphere, seclusion has become very dearto us. There is no credit to fault that comes our way here. The sky is the roof & earth theseat (sana) to sit on. Thus wherever our mind finds pleasure we will allow it to play

there. The paraphernalia to protect our body is a blanket & a kamanalu & to know thetime we take help of the breeze. At this place, our meal is Lord Hari kath & sitting in arow we will taste several preparations. Tkrm Mahrj says, in such seclusion we willhave dialogue with our own mind & thus we discuss with ourselves.

I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman, Who has firmly placed hisblessed feet on the bricks, Who is dressed like a streak of lightning, Who is of the colourof the blue clouds, Who is the abode of Goddess Lakshmi, And who is pretty and is thesplendour of the inner mind.

Pramanam bhavabhdhoridam maamakaanaam,Nithambha karabhyam drutho yena thasmath,

Vidhaurvasathyai drutho nabhi kesa,Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 3

I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman, Who by keeping his two handson his waist, Tells us all that this worldly life is only waist deep, And who created theholy lotus from his navel, So that the creator himself can live there.

Japaraga bimbadharam kanja nethram,Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 5

I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman, Who is as bright as the moon ofautumn, Who has a very captivating smile, Whose shining ear studs covers his holycheeks, Who has red lips like the hibiscus flower and the Bimba fruit, And whose eyes are

like lotus flowers.

Kireedojwalath sarva dhik prantha bhagam,Surair architham Divya rathanair anarghyair,Tribhangakruthim barha malyavathamsam,Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 6

I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman, Whose shine of the crownilluminates all sides, Who is being worshipped using invaluable gems by the devas, Whoassumes a posture with three bends, And who wears garlands and peacock feathers.

I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman, Who was not born to any one,Who is the panacea for the soul of Rukmani, Who is supreme light, Who is the only wayto redemption, Who is the fourth higher state of humans, Who is forever with satisfaction,

Who is the God of gods, And who removes problems of those who seek refuge in him.

Sthavam pandurangasya vai punyadham ye,Padanthyeka chithena bhakthya cha nithyam,

Bhavmbhonidhim they api theerthava anthakale,Harer alayam saswatham prapnuvanthi. 9

He who reads with devotion and concentration daily, This holy prayer addressed toPanduranga, Would cross with ease, this ocean of life, And at the end attain the world ofVishnu permanently.
