I praise and salute that Dakshinamrthy,
Who faces the south, who explains the true nature of the supreme Brahman, through his state of silence, who is young in looks, who is surrounded by disciples who are old Sages, whose minds are fixed on Brahman, who is the greatest of teachers, who shows the Chinmudhra by his hand, who is the personification of happiness, who is in the state of extreme joy within himself, and who has a smiling face.

Similar to the image of a town as seen in the mirror,. When one sees the image of the world within him, the world appears as if it is outside. It is similar to his seeing due to illusion, During the state of sleep, the one real fact appears as many different truths, and he realizes when he wakes up and sees the reality, that he is really the one and only one soul. Salutation to the God facing the South, who is the greatest teacher.

Salutation to the God facing the South, who is the greatest teacher. The concept of the Athma, which is explained in this poem of praise, Hearing which, understanding which, meditating which, and singing which, one would attain the state of godliness and the great state of self-realization, and also you would get the eight powers of the occult, Without any problems in between.

Similar to the Sun when being masked by the serpent Rahu, knows that it was existing, once the eclipse is over That man whose senses are suppressed When he is asleep, Because of the veil of illusion, realizes that he was in the state of sleep when he wakes up. Salutation to God facing the south, who is the greatest teacher.
Balyadishwapi jagaradhadishu thadha,Sarva sva avasthasthaswapi,
Vyavrutha swanuvarthamanamaha,Mithyanth sphurantham sada,
Svathmaanam pragatikarothi bajatham,Yo mudraya bhadraya,
Thasmai sri guru murthaye nama idham,Sree dakshinamurthaye
Salutations to him who shines and exhibits, Himself by the beatific Chinmudhra of the hand,
That he exists within the humans as self, Forever and non-changing, even during the changing states of childhood, youth, and old age and even during the states of sleep, dream, and wakefulness. Salutation to God facing the south,
Who is the greatest teacher?
Viswam pasyathi karya karana thaya,Swa swami sambandatha,
Sishyacharya thaya thadaiva pithru, Puthradhyathmana bedatha,
Swapne Jagrathi va ya esha purusho, Maya Paribramitha,
Thasmai sri guru murthaye nama idham, Sree dakshinamurthaye
The world sees as cause and effect, The differences between us and our lord, The distinction between teacher and the taught, the distinction between father and son, and so the man is confused by illusion and believes in these differences, During the times of dream and wakefulness. Salutation to God facing the south, who is the greatest teacher.
Bhoorambaamsya anilo ambhara, Maharnadho himamasu puman,
Ithyabhathi characharathmakamidham,Yasyaiva murthyashtakam,
Nanyath kinchana vidhyathe vimrusathaam, Yasmath parasmath vibho,
Thasmai sri guru murthaye nama idham, Sree dakshinamurthaye
To the sake of which supreme Brahman, the universe is shining as self, which is Movable and immovable, with its aspects? Of water, fire, air, space, the sun, moon, and the individual soul, and also to those who examine the truth behind, the meaning of this universe and find, that it Consists of nothing but, The God who is everywhere. Salutation to God facing the south, who is the greatest teacher.
Sarvathmathvamithi sphutikruthamitham, Yasmadamushamin sthave,
Thenasya sravanath thadartha mananath, Dyanascha Sankeerthanath,
Sarvathmathva maha vibhuthi sahitham, Syadheeswarasthvam svatha,
Siddhyeth thath punarashtadha parinatham, Chaisvaryamvayhatham
The concept of the Athma, is explained in this poem of praise, Hearing which, understanding which, meditating which and singing which, one would attain the state of godliness, And the great state of self-realization, and also you would get the eight powers of the occult, Without any problems in between.
