From the path shown by the revered Master’s lotus feet, I purify (clean the mirror of) my mind; and then I narrate the sacred glory of Sri Raghuvara, who grants the four attainments (purushaardhas) of life.

Invocation

Sree guru charana saroja raja, nija mana mukura sudhaari

varanau Raghuvara vimala yasa, jo daayaka phala chaari.
