Translation of Srichandrasekharabharatinavaratnamalika

A Bejewelled Garland of Nine Verses on Jagadguru
Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Mahaswamigal

An offering of the Sringeri Jagadguru
His Holiness Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal

(1) I seek refuge in Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi
Mahaswamigal, an ascetic committed to rescuing the people
drowning in the ocean of phenomenal existence.

(2) I pay obeisance to Him, whose attire is ochreous, who has
a gentle smile on His face, who bestows all that is wished
for, whose ornaments are traits like control of the mind and
restraint of the senses and whose host of noble qualities can
be reckoned only by Adisesa with a thousand mouths.

(3) I resort to Him, the auspicious Lord, whose body is more
lustrous than gold, whose speech resembles the flow of the
Ganges and who nullifies the terrible poison of transmigratory
existence.

(4) I ever take shelter in Him, who is an ocean of mercy, who
is worthy of even My Guru’s praise, who has an unmatched
intellect, whose face is like the rising sun and who is
accessible to all people.

(5) For the removal of mental dullness, I constantly hold in My
heart the foremost samnyasin, whose intellect is most splendid,
whose speech is exceedingly sweet and whose feet ought to be
saluted by all.

(6) I always offer prostrations to Him, who takes care of His
numerous devotees, who is versed in the profound essence of
Vedanta, whose gaze is indrawn and who is benevolent to the
three worlds.

(7) I take refuge in the best of Guru-s, who eradicates sorrows,
whose face is beautiful like the full moon, who is devoted
to Lord Siva and whose conduct is commendable even to the
celestials headed by Indra.

(8) I extol Him, the very utterance of whose name destroys
sins, who has the power to curse and to shower grace, who is
a fire that burns up the forest of afflictions and whose pair
of feet is saluted even by kings.

(9) In My heart, I offer reverential prostration to Jagadguru
Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Mahaswamigal, a great gem in the
garland of pontiffs of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham founded
by Sankara Bhagavatpada.
