Oh one without violence! Oh one having complete control over the senses! Oh one who is kind to all living beings! Oh one without ego! Oh one who is omniscient! Oh one who always acts as per the knowledge! Oh one has realised reality as is! I remember such a benevolent personality who is adorable, all powerful, who is effulgent like the Sun. Please inspire my intellect! The senses perceptions arising from five elements are only the form of that material Brahman that belongs to lower three worlds.
