O Light of Conciousness!
Understanding that the rituals described in the Vedas are beyond their seeming resultsoriented nature, I shall dedicate all such rituals that I perform, to Thee O Lord! And
become free from the bondage of action. May I not, even by mistake, by thought deed or
speech attempt to do what is forbidden by the Vedas. If any such action becomes
unavoidable, that too I will dedicate to Thee alone, O The Glowing Light of Consciousness!

The other form of ritualistic Karma, (Aagama) where Thy devotion is propounded, following
that, I will worship Thee everyday. The dear most pure Saatvic form of Thee I will invoke in
my heart as an image of stone or clay or any other material and worship with offerings of
flowers, incense and food, according to my capacity. O Lord! devotedly performing Thy
worship, I will seek Thy grace.

like that
Women and people of the lower social order are unprivileged to hear the narrations of Thy
deeds and excellences and for chanting Thy names. They are indeed to be pitied. But I
bemoan the unpeaceful lot of people of the higher castes, who in spite of having all the
facilities of worshipping Thee, would not do so being arrogant of their learning and high
birth. In Thy teachings they have been repeatedly instructed about Thee, they perform
Yagyaas as a livelihood and for material ends, and there is no misdeed that they do not do.
O Lord! I pray, do not make me one like them.

Those worldly undevoted people laugh loudly at the wise people who are devoted to Thee
with their minds absorbed in Thee. They speak spitefully of them with statements like -'This
is a wicked fellow and keeps saying Krishna and Raama to conceal his misconduct. Because
of this person's shameless prattles, I could not say many important things. My brother is
an hypocrite and feigns to worship Vishnu all the time.' O Lord! Do not make me like them.

In the Krita Yuga people propitiate Thee with penance, in the form of a lustruous white
sage. In the Treta Yuga, people offer sacrifices to Thee in the form as the Yagya itself, red
in complexion marked with Sruka and Sruva (the Yaagyic acessories). According to the
Taantric rites and rituals, in the Dwaapara Yuga, people worship Thee with a blue
complexion resplendent with mace and discus etc. In this Kali Yuga Thou with a blue
complexion are worshipped by people, with the chanting of Thy various names.

O Slayer of Mura! That this Kali Yuga may be victorious, wherein by chanting Thy various
names and glories alone Thy grace is acjieved effortlessly and in no time. O Fulfiller of All
Desires! Those born in Treta Krita Dwaapara also desire to be born indeed in Kali Kaala.
Fortunately, those of us who are born now, in Kali, may we not O Lord! be deprived of Thy
grace, because of the persuit of poisonous sensuous sense enjoyments.

In the Kali Yuga devotees will abound, mostly in the Dravid land, i.e., South India. In the
regions of the rivers Kaaveri, Taamraparni and the Kritamaalaa, the holy west, the
devotees will be more. Oh Lord! I too am born in this region only, and have some devotion
to Thee. O God! I pray, do not delude me by binding me with ropes of desire, and do make
my devotion to Thee complete.

do punish him
Once king Pareekshit saw the merciless Kali who is the enemy of Dharma (righteousness),
and to kill him, he drew his sword also. But he did not kill Kali, because Kali is a knower of
the essence of Truth, and also because it has some good features. In Kali, Thy worship
bears results very soon where as evil deeds take time to bring fruits. Kali is also afraid of
Thy devotees, so he tries to take them away by disease etc., even before their devotion
becomes firm. For this O Lord! punish him.

O Supreme Lord! In this Kali Yuga, Gangaa, Geetaa, Gaayatri, Tulsika, Gopichandana,
Saalagraama worship, Ekaadashi fast and chanting of Thy names, these eight, the sages
say, are quick and effortless means of salvation as they secure Thy abounding grace. O

O Lord of the Universe! Who so ever, whole heartedly takes refuge in Thee, abondoning all
actions, is no longer a debtor to the gods or sages, Pitris (or Manes), or a servant to them.
Even if he has done any misdeeds, they are destroyed by Thee who do reside in his heart.
O Lord of Guruvaayur! my sufferings, born of my sins, do remove and generate devotion in
me.
