Garuda Purana

मनोबुद्धिरहङ्कारः क्षेत्रज्ञस्त्वं हृदीश्वरः । त्वं यज्ञस्त्वं वषट्कारस्त्वमोङ्कारः समित्कुशाः ॥ १,२३४.

You are mind, intellect, ego, the knower of the field, and the lord of the heart; you are sacrifice, the utterance 'vashat', the syllable 'om', and the sacred grass.

त्वं वेदी त्वं हरे दीक्षा त्वं यूपस्त्वं हुताशनः । त्वं पत्नी त्वं पुरोडाशस्त्वं शाला स्त्रुक्च त्वं स्तुवः ॥ १,२३४.

You are the altar, O Hari, the consecration, the sacrificial post, and the fire; you are the wife, the sacrificial cake, the hall, the ladle, and the hymn.

ग्रावाणः सकलं त्वं हि सदस्यास्त्वं सदाक्षिणः । त्वं सूर्पादिस्त्वं च ब्रह्मा मुसलोलूखले ध्रुवम् ॥ १,२३४.

You are the pressing stones, all the participants, the officiants, the winnowing basket and others, Brahma, the pestle, mortar, and the fixed support.

त्वं होता यजमानस्त्वं त्वं धान्यं पशुयाजकः । त्वमध्वर्युस्त्वमुद्गाता त्वं यज्ञः पुरुषोत्तमः ॥ १,२३४.

You are the priest, the sacrificer, the grain, the animal-offerer; you are the Adhvaryu, the Udgata, and the supreme person, the sacrifice itself.

दिक्पातालमहि व्योम द्यौस्त्वं नक्षत्रकारकः । देवतिर्यङ्मनुष्येषु जगदेतच्चराचरम् ॥ १,२३४.

You are the guardians of the directions, the netherworld, the earth, the sky, the heavens, and the maker of stars; among gods, animals, humans, you are this entire moving and unmoving world.

यत्किञ्चिद्दृश्यते देव ब्रह्माण्डमखिलं जगत् । तव रूपमिदं सर्वं दृष्ट्यर्थं संप्रकाशितम् ॥ १,२३४.

Whatever is seen, O Lord, the entire universe, the cosmic egg—all this is your form, revealed for the sake of perception.

नाथयन्ते परं ब्रह्म दैवेरपि दुरासदम् । कस्तञ्जानाति विमलं योगगम्यमतीन्द्रियम् ॥ १,२३४.

Even the gods cannot attain the supreme Brahman, which is difficult to approach; who can know you, pure, accessible through yoga, beyond the senses?

अक्षयं पुरुषं नित्यमव्यक्तमजमव्ययम् । प्रलयोत्पत्तिरहितं सर्वव्यापिनमीश्वरम् ॥ १,२३४.

The imperishable person, eternal, unmanifest, unborn, undecaying, without dissolution or origination, all-pervading, the Lord.

सर्वज्ञं निर्गुणं शुद्धमानन्दमजरं परम् । बोधरूपं ध्रुवं शान्तं पूर्णमद्वैतमक्षयम् ॥ १,२३४.

Omniscient, without qualities, pure, blissful, ageless, supreme, of the nature of consciousness, steadfast, peaceful, complete, nondual, imperishable.

अवतारेषु या मूर्तिर्विदूरे देव दृश्यते । परं भावंमजानन्तस्त्वां भजन्ति दिवौकसः ॥ १,२३४.

In incarnations, the form that is seen from afar, O Lord, those who do not know your supreme nature worship you, O dwellers in heaven.

कथं त्वामीदृशं सूक्ष्मं शक्नोमि पुरुषोत्तम । अराधयितुमीशान मनोगम्यमगोचरम् ॥ १,२३४.

How can I, O Supreme Person, worship you, so subtle, O Lord, who are accessible to the mind but beyond its grasp?

इह यन्मण्डले नाथ पूज्यते विधिवत्क्रमैः । पुष्पधूपादिभिर्यत्र तत्र सर्वा विभूतयः ॥ १,२३४.

Wherever, O Lord, you are worshipped in this circle according to proper rites, with flowers, incense, and the like, there all your powers are present.

संकर्षणादिभेदेन तव यत्पूजिता मया । क्षन्तुमर्हसि तत्सर्वं यत्कृतं न कृतं मया ॥ १,२३४.

Whatever worship I have performed for you in the forms of Sankarshana and others, you should forgive all that which was done or left undone by me.

न शक्नोमि विभो सम्यक्कर्तुं पूजां यथोदिताम् । यत्कृतं जपहोमादि असाध्यं पुरुषोत्तम ॥ १,२३४.

I am unable, O Lord, to perform worship as prescribed; whatever recitation, offering, and the like I have done is insufficient, O Supreme Person.

विनिष्पादयितुं भक्त्या अत स्त्वां क्षमयाम्यहम् । दिवा रात्रौ च सन्ध्यायां सर्वावस्थासु चेष्टतः ॥ १,२३४.

To accomplish this with devotion, therefore I ask your forgiveness; whether by day, night, at twilight, or in all conditions of activity.

अचला तु हरे ! भक्तिस्तवाङ्घ्रियुगले मम । शरिरे न (ण) तथा प्रीतिर्न च धर्मादिकेषु च ॥ १,२३४.

O Hari, may my devotion to your two feet be unwavering; I do not have such affection for my body, nor for dharma and the like.

यथा त्वयि जगन्नाथ प्रीतिंरात्यन्तिकी मम । किं तेन न कृतं कर्म स्वर्गमोक्षादिसाधनम् ॥ १,२३४.

Just as I have supreme love for you, Lord of the universe, what need is there for any other action, or for means to heaven, liberation, and so on?

यस्य विष्णौ दृढा भक्तिः सर्वकामफलप्रदे । पूजां कर्तुं तथा स्तोत्रं कः शक्नोति तवाच्युत ॥ १,२३४.

Who, O Acyuta, is able to perform worship or recite hymns to you, the bestower of all desired fruits, if he does not have firm devotion to Viṣṇu?

स्तुतं तु पूजितं मेऽद्य तत्क्षमस्व नमोऽस्तु ते । इति चक्रधारस्तोत्रं मया सम्यगुदाहृतम् । स्तौहि विष्णुं मुने भक्त्या यदीच्छसि परं पदम् ॥ १,२३४.

What has been praised and worshipped by me today—please forgive that; salutations to you. Thus, I have properly recited the hymn to the wielder of the discus. O sage, if you desire the supreme state, worship Viṣṇu with devotion.

स्तोत्रेणानेन यः स्तौति पूजाकाले जगद्घुरुम् ॥ १,२३४.

Whoever praises the Guru of the universe at the time of worship with this hymn—

अचिराल्लभते मोक्षं छित्वा संसारबन्धनम् । अन्योऽपि यो जपेद्भक्त्या त्रिसन्ध्यं नियतः शुचिः ॥ १,२३४.

He quickly attains liberation, cutting the bonds of worldly existence. Another, too, who recites it with devotion, thrice daily, disciplined and pure—

इदं स्तोत्रं मुने सोऽपि सर्वकाममवाप्नुयात् । पुत्रार्थो लभते पुत्रान्बद्धो मुच्यते बन्धनात् ॥ १,२३४.

That sage also attains all desires by this hymn; one seeking sons obtains sons, the bound is freed from bondage.

रोगाद्विमुच्यते रागी लभते निर्धनो धनम् । विद्यार्थो लभते विद्यां भग्यं कीर्ति च विन्दति ॥ १,२३४.

One is freed from disease, the passionate attains wealth, the seeker of knowledge gains learning, and one attains fortune and fame.

जाति स्मरत्वं मेधावी यद्यदिच्छति चेतसा । स धन्यः सर्ववित्प्राज्ञःस साधुः सर्वकर्मकृत् ॥ १,२३४.

Whatever the wise, intelligent person desires in his heart—be it memory of past births or intelligence—he becomes blessed, all-knowing, wise, and accomplished in all actions.

स सत्यवाकूछुचिर्दाता यः स्तौति पुरुषोत्तमम् । असंभाष्या हि ते सर्वे सर्वधर्मबहिष्कृताः ॥ १,२३४.

He who praises the Supreme Person is truthful, pure, and generous. All others, excluded from all dharma, are not to be associated with.

येषां प्रवर्तने नास्ति हरिमुद्दिश्य सत्क्रिया । न शुद्धं विद्यते तस्य मनो वाक्च दुरात्मनः ॥ १,२३४.

Those in whose conduct there is no proper act directed to Hari—their mind and speech are not pure, and they are of evil intent.

यस्य सर्वार्थदे विष्णौ भक्तिर्नाव्यभिचारिणी । आराध्य विधिवद्देवं हरिं सर्वसुखप्रदम् ॥ १,२३४.

He whose unwavering devotion is to Viṣṇu, the giver of all things, and who worships Hari, the bestower of all happiness, according to the proper method—

प्राप्नोति पुरुषः सम्यग्यद्यत्प्रार्थयते फलम् । कर्म कामादिकं सर्वं श्रद्धधानः सुरोत्तमः । असुरादिवपुः सिद्धैर्देयते यस्य नान्तरम् ॥ १,२३४.

That person attains, fully and truly, whatever fruit he desires; the best of men, full of faith, achieves all actions and desires. For him, there is no obstacle from demons or others, even from accomplished beings.

सकलमुनिभिराद्यश्चिन्त्यते यो हि शुद्धो निखिलहृदि निविष्टो वेत्ति यः सर्वसाक्षी । तमजममृतमीशं वासुदेवं नतोऽस्मि भयमरणविहीनं नित्यमानन्दरूपम् ॥ १,२३४.

I bow to that unborn, immortal Lord Vāsudeva, who is contemplated by all sages, pure, established in every heart, the witness of all, free from fear and death, whose form is eternal bliss.
