Meaning: (TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Oh Lord Dakshinaamurthi! The ameliorator (“Vidhalitha”) of the sufferings of the devotees
(“Daasaarthe”). He is the form (“Moorthe”) of Chidaananda and is always (“Sadaa”) steeped in silent
(“Mouna”) meditation (“Keerthe”).

He is seated (“Sthithe”) under the imperishable (“Akshaya”) golden (“Suvarna”) peepal (“Vata”) tree
(“Vruksha”). He is praised (“Sthuthee”) by the eminent Rajayogis like Sanaka and others. He is the
savior (“Rakshitha”) of true (“Sath”) devotees (“Bhakthe”) and eradicates (“Sikshitha”) the evil
thoughts (“Duryukthe”). He is devoted to different forms of knowledge and is beyond illusion. He is lord
Siva

He is very skilful (“Nipuna”) in clearing (“harana”) all the doubts (“ Nikhila Samsaya”) and is steeped
in Yogic state of abstract (“Nirvikalpa”) meditation – Samaadhi. He is firm (“prashakthe”) in
meditation (“Nidraa”) and is of the form of divine (“Arooda”) power (“Sakthe”) brimming(“Poorna”)
with ever-flowing (“Akhandaika”) bliss (“rasa”) – established in supreme joy.. He is the form of
liberation, which is imperceptible knowledge and bliss. He is the bestower (“pravrute”) of happiness
(“sukhatara”) and the obliterator of ignorance.
