Thou art the Father of this world, both moving and unmoving. Thou art to be adored by this world; Thou, the greatest Guru; for none exists who is equal to Thee; how then could there be another superior to Thee in the three worlds, O Being of unrivaled power?

आप इस चराचर जगत् के पिता, पूजनीय और सर्वश्रेष्ठ गुरु हैं। हे अप्रितम प्रभाव वाले भगवन्! तीनों लोकों में आपके समान भी कोई नहीं हैं, तो फिर आपसे अधिक श्रेष्ठ कैसे होगा?।।
