Indeed, this alone is auspiciousness; this alone is the means of acquiring wealth.
अधोक्षजात्परोधर्मो नार्थो नारायणात्परः
There is no higher dharma than that relating to the Supreme Person; there is no purpose higher than Nārāyaṇa.
इयमेव परा हानिरुपसर्गो यमेवहि
This alone is the greatest loss; this alone is the true affliction.
हरेराराधनं पुंसां किं किं न कुरुते बत
Indeed, what is there that the worship of Hari by people does not accomplish?
हरत्यघं ध्वंसयति व्याधीनाधीन्नियच्छति
It removes sin, destroys calamities, and restrains diseases.
भगवच्चरणद्वंद्वं निर्द्द्वंद्व ध्यानमुत्तमम्
The supreme meditation is on the twin feet of the Blessed Lord, free from all duality.
पापिनां यानि पापानि महोपपदभांज्यपि
Whatever sins belong to sinners, even those bearing great consequences—
प्रमादादपि संस्पृष्टो यथाऽनलकणो दहेत्
If touched even accidentally, as a spark of fire burns, so are they consumed.
नितांतं कमलाकांते शांतचित्तं विधाय यः
Whoever, making his mind completely peaceful, is devoted to the beloved of Lakṣmī—
अयमेव परोधर्मस्त्विदमेव परं तपः
This alone is the highest dharma; this alone is the supreme austerity.
तवोपहारं भक्त्याय सेवते यजपूरुष 4.1.21.
Whoever serves you, O Lord of Sacrifice, with devotion as an offering—
स चैवावभृथस्नातः स च गंगाजलाप्लुतः
He is as if purified by the final bath of a sacrifice; he is as if bathed in the waters of the Gaṅgā.
शालग्राम शिला येन पूजिता तुलसी दलैः
Whoever worships the Śālagrāma stone with leaves of the Tulasī plant—
ब्राह्मणः क्षत्रियो वैश्यः शूद्रो वा यदि वेतरः
Whether a brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, or someone else—
शंखचक्रांकिततनुः शिरसां मंजरीधरः
With a body marked by the conch and discus, bearing a cluster of flowers on his head—
प्रत्यहं द्वादशशिलाः शालग्रामस्य योऽर्चयेत्
Whoever daily worships twelve Śālagrāma stones—
तुलसी यस्य भवने प्रत्यहं परिपूज्यते
In whose house the Tulasī is worshipped every day—
हरिनामाक्षरमुखं भाले गोपीमृदांकितम्
With the syllables of Hari’s name on his lips, and his forehead marked with the dust of the cowherd women—
गोपीमृत्तुलसी शंखः शालग्रामः सचक्रकः
Cowherd girls, clay, basil leaves, conch shells, and the Śālagrāma stone with the discus.
ये मुहूर्ताः क्षणा ये च या काष्ठा ये निमेषकाः
The moments, the instants, the divisions of time, and the twinklings of the eye—
क्व द्वयक्षरं हरेर्नाम स्फुलिंगसदृशं ज्वलेत 4.1.21.
Where is the two-syllabled name of Hari, blazing like a spark—
गोविंद परमानंदं मुकुंदं मधुसूदनम
Govinda, supreme bliss, Mukunda, slayer of Madhu—
न नमामि न च स्तौमि न पश्यामीह चक्षुषा
I do not bow, nor do I praise, nor do I see here with my eyes—
जले स्थले च पातालेप्यनिले चानलेऽचले
In water, on land, in the netherworld, in air, in fire, and on mountains—
तृणेस्त्रैणे च पाषाणे तरुगुल्मलतासु च
In grass, in deer, in stones, in trees, in thickets, and in vines—
सर्वेषां हृदयावासः साक्षात्साक्षी त्वमेव हि
You alone are the indweller in the hearts of all, the direct witness indeed.
इत्युक्त्वा विररामासौ शिवशर्मन्ध्रुवस्तदा
Having spoken thus, Śivaśarman then became silent.
परिज्ञातो मया सम्यक्तवहृत्स्थो मनोरथः
I have fully understood the desire that dwells in your heart.

From food, beings arise; from rain, food is produced.
ज्योतिश्चक्रस्य सर्वस्य ग्रहर्क्षादेः समंततः
The wheel of light of all—the planets, stars, and so on—on every side,
