“There is a boon that I have to beg of you. Grant it, if you will,
O venerable lord of Gurus. Let my voice always utter Nityananda’s name.
Let all beings experience friendliness and joy. May brotherhood, love,
and perfect steadiness of mind always prevail in the world!”
Muktananda implores, “O venerable lord of Gurus,
let all inequality in the world be destroyed.”

hariḥ oṁ

O elephant-faced god, Ganesha, you are served by the assemblage of ghosts,

Hari om.

ॐ नमः शिवाय गुरवे सच्चिदानन्दमूर्तये।
निष्प्रपञ्चाय शान्ताय निरालम्बाय तेजसे॥

vande bhakta-janāśrayaṁ ca varadaṁ vande śivaṁ śaṅkaram ||

I adore the divine spouse of Uma. I adore the Guru of gods.
I adore the cause of the universe. I adore the one who is embellished
with snakes and who wears a deerskin. I adore the lord of bound creatures.
I adore the one whose eyes are the sun, the moon, and fire.
I adore the one who is dear to Mukunda (Vishnu). I adore the one
who grants refuge to devotees and who is the giver of boons.
I adore Shiva, who is Shankara, the benevolent.

Verse 6

शान्तं पद्मासनस्थं शशिधरमुकुटं पञ्चवक्त्रं त्रिनेत्रं

The calm one is seated in the lotus posture with the moon as his crown.
He has five faces and three eyes. With his five right hands he holds
a trident, a thunderbolt, a sword, and an axe, and he makes the gesture
granting fearlessness. His five left hands hold a snake, a noose, a bell,
a tabor, and a goad. He is adorned with various ornaments
and is pure and luminous like quartz. I bow to Parvati’s lord.

Verse 7

कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।
सदा वसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि॥

karpūragauraṁ karuṇāvatāraṁ saṁsāra-sāraṁ bhujagendra-hāram |
sadā vasantaṁ hṛdayāravinde bhavaṁ bhavānī-sahitaṁ namāmi ||

White as camphor, he is the incarnation of compassion, the essence of the universe,
and he wears the lord of the serpents as a necklace. I bow to that Shiva who,
with Parvati, always dwells in the lotus of the heart.

Verse 8

असितगिरिसमं स्यात्कज्जलं सिन्धुपात्रे

Even if the black mountain were ink, the ocean an inkpot,
a branch of the wish-fulfilling tree a pen, the earth a writing leaf,
and if, using all these, the goddess of learning were to write for eternity,
the limit of your virtues would not be reached.

Verse 9

त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव त्वमेव बन्धुश्च सखा त्वमेव।
त्वमेव विद्या द्रविणं त्वमेव त्वमेव सर्वं मम देवदेव॥

Forgive all sins, whether committed by hands or feet,
whether arising from speech, body, or actions, whether arising from
ears, eyes, or mind. Forgive all actions of commission and omission.

hare mokṣārthaṁ kuru citta-vṛttim acalām anyaistu kiṁ karmabhiḥ ||

Shiva’s forehead is illumined by the moon. He is the destroyer of the lord of desire,
the bearer of the Ganga. His neck and ears are adorned with snakes. His third eye
emits the Vaishvanara fire. He wears a garment of elephant skin. He is the essence
of the three worlds. He is the remover of ignorance. Steady the flow of
your thoughts to attain salvation. What is the use of other actions?

Verse 12

हरिः ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि।
तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्॥

hariḥ oṁ tatpuruṣāya vidmahe mahādevāya dhīmahi |

Shiva—Mahadeva. May that Shiva who is known as Rudra inspire us.

Salutations to the infinite Lord, who has infinite forms, infinite feet,
eyes, heads, thighs, and arms. Salutations to the eternal Being
with infinite names, who supports millions of cosmic ages.

विष्णुब्रह्मेन्द्रदेवै रजतगिरितटात् प्रार्थितो योऽवतीर्य
शाक्याद्युद्दामकण्ठीरवनखरकराघातसञ्जातमूर्च्छाम्।

so ’yaṁ śrīśaṅkarācāryo bhava-dava-dahanāt pātu lokān ajasram ||

Having been invoked by Vishnu, Brahma, Indra, and other gods,
Shiva descended from the lofty heights of the silver mountain Kailasa,
and incarnated as Shankaracharya, the king of ascetics.
When the Vedic cow (the holy scriptures) had been struck unconscious
by the shouts of the Buddhists and other nonbelievers,
Shankaracharya, the greatest of sages, revived her with the rains
of his nectar-like words. May this venerable Shankaracharya
protect mankind forever from the burning fires of birth and death.

Verse 15

पूर्णः पीयूषभानुर्भवमरुतपनोद्दामतापाकुलानां
प्रौढाज्ञानान्धकारावृतविषमपथभ्राम्यतामंशुमाली।

pāyāc chrī-padma-pādā-dima-muni-sahitaḥ śrīmad-ācārya-varyaḥ ||

Shankaracharya is the full moon, showering his cooling nectar on those who are overwhelmed by the fierce heat of the sun in the desert of the world.
He is the sun for those wandering on a rough road, wrapped in the thick folds of the darkness of ignorance. He is the wish-fulfilling tree for the ascetics who have overcome the desire for wealth, sons, and other things.
May that venerable Shankaracharya, the best of Gurus, accompanied
by his chief disciple, Padmapada, protect us forever.

Verse 16

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवलं ज्ञानमूर्तिं
द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्त्वमस्यादिलक्ष्यम्।
एकं नित्यं विमलमचलं सर्वधीसाक्षिभूतं

ekaṁ nityaṁ vimalam acalaṁ sarvadhī-sākṣi-bhūtaṁ
bhāvātītaṁ triguṇa-rahitaṁ sadguruṁ taṁ namāmi ||

He is absolute bliss, the bestower of supreme happiness, and he is the only one.
He is the embodiment of knowledge, and he has transcended such dualities
as pleasure and pain. He is all-pervasive, like the sky. He is the final goal
of the Vedic dictum “Thou art That.” He is one, eternal, pure, steadfast,
and the witness of the intellects of all. He is beyond all states and devoid of
the three gunas: sattva, rajas, and tamas. To him, to the Sadguru, I bow.

Verse 17

नारायणं पद्मभवं वसिष्ठं शक्तिं च तत्पुत्रपराशरं च
व्यासं शुकं गौडपदं महान्तं गोविन्दयोगीन्द्रमथास्य शिष्यम्।

yaḥ sākṣāt kurute prabodha-samaye svātmānam evādvayaṁ
tasmai śrīguru-mūrtaye nama idaṁ śrīdakṣiṇā-mūrtaye ||

I bow to the Guru, Shri Dakshinamurti,who looks upon the universe as
being within himself but appearing, by the power of maya, to be outside,
like a city reflected in a mirror or a dream in sleep. By the awakening of the
real knowledge, he realizes that there is nothing else except his own Self.

Verse 19

अखण्डमण्डलाकारं व्याप्तं येन चराचरम्।
तत्पदं दर्शितं येन तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः॥

the spherical universe, composed of the sentient and insentient.

Shiva, the destroyer; and the manifestation of the supreme Absolute.

नमामि भगवत्पादं शङ्करं लोकशङ्करम्॥

śruti-smṛti-purāṇānām ālayaṁ karuṇālayam |
namāmi bhagavat-pādaṁ śaṅkaraṁ loka-śaṅkaram ||

I bow to the feet of the glorious Shankaracharya, who is the abode
of the Vedas (revealed scriptures), Smritis (laws of discipline),
and Puranas (religious myths), and who is the abode of compassion,
the incarnation of Shiva, and the benefactor of the world.

Verse 22

शङ्करं शङ्कराचार्यं केशवं बादरायणम्।
सूत्रभाष्यकृतौ वन्दे भगवन्तौ पुनः पुनः॥

śaṅkaraṁ śaṅkarācāryaṁ keśavaṁ bādarāyaṇam |
sūtra-bhāṣya-kṛtau vande bhagavantau punaḥ punaḥ ||

I bow again and again to Shankaracharya, the incarnation of Shankara,
and to Badarayana (Vyasa), the incarnation of Vishnu, who are,
respectively, the commentator and the author of the Brahma-sutra.

Verse 23

व्योमवद् व्याप्तदेहाय दक्षिणामूर्तये नमः॥

īśvaro gurur ātmeti mūrti-bheda-vibhāgine |
vyomavad vyāpta-dehāya dakṣiṇā-mūrtaye namaḥ ||

Although he has assumed the threefold role of the Lord, the Guru,
and the Self, his body is all-pervasive like space.
I bow to that Dakshinamurti.

which were accepted as the first religious duties. Through the merit of
these deeds they attained heaven, where the Sadhya deities and gods dwell.

Verse 25

ॐ राजाधिराजाय प्रसह्यसाहिने नमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे।
