Prostrations to that noble spiritual Teacher, through whom, that Reality pervading the entire Cosmos as everything movable and immovable can be known.

I bow to the Divine Guru, who by the application of the collyrium (kaajal) stick of knowledge, opens the eyes of one blinded by the disease of ignorance.
