Chapter 1: Invocation

Yasmaadsarvamidam Prapancharachitam Maayaa Jagatjnaayatey,

Yasmintishthati yaati chaantasamayey Kalpaanukalpey punah/

Yaamdhyaatwaa Munah Prapancha rahitam vindanti Moksham dhruvam,

Tamvandey Purushotthamaakhya mamalam Nithyam Vibhum nischalam/

 Avikaraya Shuddhaaya Nithyaaya Paramatmaney, Sadaikarupa rupaaya Vishnavey Sarva Jishnavey/ Namo Hiranya Garbhaaya Haraye Shankaraayacha, Vaasudevaaya Taraaya Sarga sthitam karmaney/ Yekaaneka Swarupaaya Sthula Sukshmaatmaney Namah, Avyakta Vyakta Bhutaaya Vishnavey Mukti hetavey/ Sarga Sthiti Vinaashaaya Jagatoyojaraamarah, Mula Bhuto Namastasmai Vishnavey Paramaatmaney/

(May I pay my obeisances to Paramatma who materialises this Illusory Universe, preserves it and demolishes it Kalpa after Kalpa again and again; to whom Great Sages meditate to seek to visualise that imperceptible yet permanent Being; and to that everlasting and self-illuminated Truth called Purushotthama!)

 

(My homage to Paramatma who is th e Personification of Purity and Permanence; who is devoid of features or characteristics like Existence, Birth, Growth, Evolution, Decadence and Destruction; the Unique and Singular Supreme Power manifested in Three Entities of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara representing the Tasks of Creation, Preservation and Termination; who is of the Realisable and Unknown Variations; the Gross and the Miniscule Forms and the Root-Cause of the Universe!)
