Oh Paaduka! What a great achievement for You! You bring to the doors
of ordinary men, to be visible to these physical eyes, in all His
splendour to be palpable, the GREAT LORD, WHOM the
Yogis, with a clear and clean mind, perfected by the five Yama
exercises (Brahmacharyam, Ahimsa, truthfulness, non-stealing, and non-
accumulation of wealth) and the five Niyama exercises
(Veda-abhyasa, pure habits, contentment, tapas of observing fast
etc., and god-remembrance) are unable to comprehend
and WHOSE greatness is attempted to catch by the Vedas but only as a
handful in magnitude-only to that extent the Vedas could see His
greatness. This You do of Your own accord.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
