Oh Prabhu, let my mind which is well informed on service to the great,

humble, clean and interested in the virtues be raised by you above all

worries like a bridegroom with good qualities would look after his just

married wife.

*Commentary

**he prabhO* = Hey! PrabhO!

*sadhupachaaravidhishu *= in doing pooja to your sath paadhapadhmam;

*anubhOdhithaam* = having given the siksha (instructed);

*suhrudham* = having pure heart (or mind);

*savinayaam *= having the modesty;

*sadhupaasritham* = having taken shelter in sath vishayaas;

*mama* = my;

*imaam* = this;

*buddhim* = buddhi;

*varaguNEna* = by the superior guNOpadhEsa;

*navODhavadhoomiva* = like the newly married girl;

*samuddhara* = do uddhaaraNa (lift up).

Hey! Parameswara! Your charaNaavindam is indestructible in all three

times. My buddhi was taught to do pooja to it all the time. It shelters

the mind that has the advaithagnyaana. My buddhi has taken refuge in sath

vishayaas. Just as the husband who just married instructs his new wife with

his quality education and lifts her up, O! ParamEswara! you too will

instruct my buddhi with the superior guNOpadhEsa on the saathvik

Mahaavaakyaas. Hey! Prabho! " Easaana: sarvavidhyaanaam " says the sruthi

and therefore you alone are the owner of all the vidhyaas. Therefore as per

the promise, " naasayaamyaathmabhaavasthO gnaanadheepEna bhaasvathaa " You

should, by the brahmOpadhEsam, do your uddhaaraNa of my buddhi and bring

sapalam to my janma.

Anyone who recites this slOka and do namaskaaram to ParamEswara is sure to

attain dhivya gnaanam, and there is no doubt about it.
