O! kamalajadayite !, Bless me with a mind well established in my duties and

a physic fit to accomplish them. O ! Devi ! Let my fame be sung in all the

three worlds and let me revert from sinful deeds. O! ocean of compassion!

Let me be associated with the righteous and always hear thy glory. O! devi!

Bless me with flawless intellect and knowledge.

 

‘sva karma’ denotes ones varNa and Ashrama dharma. ‘dIrgAyur’ and

‘dehArogyam’ is sort for accomplishing ‘svadharma’.

The reason for obtaining ‘stiraN^ga’ or ‘AuH’ is for ‘devahita.m’. If it is

used for some other conservative purpose, the very reason for seeking them

is lost.

 

‘pApa mArga viraktiH’ or restrain from the pApa is sought to ensures karma

is done with conviction. Until discipline is born out of conviction it is

exposed to totter.

To ensure that dharma is universally accepted ‘tribhunava vidhita yashaH’ is

sought. No other act except the ones prescribed in shAstra would award fame

in all the three lokas.

 

satsaN^ga.m is normally interpreted as sadguru saN^gam. Just a dharmIka

saN^gam is not capable of awarding liberation. As dharma mAraga anusaraNam

is already sought, this would denote sadguru saN^gam.

gurusaN^ga is for shravaNa.m and hence ‘satkathAyAH shravaNam’ is sought.

satkathA could denote both the glory of shAradA and Vedanta shravaNa.

 

O ! kamalajadayite! kR^ipAbdhe! Bless me with a flawless intellect and

knowledge to realize the eternal.

 

... jaya jaya shArade Ananda vAride..
