O! Guru! Shri Candrasekharendrasarasvati! The pontiff of
Shri kAnchi kAmakoTI pITha! Blessed, indeed, are we to
have been your contemporaries; you who is the incomparable
embodiment of penance; you who have initiated yourself in the
life-long sacrifice of upholding and re-establishing various
dharmas prescribed by the Vedas. (1)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to see your eyes, which are moistened with
compassion, which defeat the ocean in their depth (gAmbhirya)
which are peaceful and resplendent; which reflect your
experience of the ultimate reality, i.e. paramAtman. (2)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to listen to your words; which are soft, low
in voice, full of conviction (dhIra) and profound in their
meaning; which are clear, brief in form, and which interpret
scores of subtle concepts such as dharma. (3)

O ! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to talk to you about worldly matters related
to the nation, about various mundane issues, about matters
of personal joys and sorrows; and to receive your favours and
blessings. (4)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to touch the dust of the land of great India
with our heads; which is great in itself and made most pious
and auspicious by the imprints of your lotus feet. (5)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to walk a few steps following your feet; which
are pious; which made this country sacred by their treading
on it, which are large, and tend to give refuge to the entire
mankind, frightened of the cycle of births and deaths. (6)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we to have been your
contemporaries; to behold your holy form; which is non-earthly,
which is encircled with resplendent light, which is thin because
of penance, which is quiet and peaceful, which is like moving
light and which is indeed unique. (7)

O! Guru! Blessed, indeed, are we by your mere presence before
us; Blessed, indeed, are we by beholding you and serving you;
Blessed, indeed are we by your righteous discourses; But,
unfortunate, indeed, are we because of your seperation from us. (8)
