With the commentary
SUAM OF RI TMA BODHENDRA SARASVATI
1.NIRGUA BRAHMAN
I resort to that supreme state which is partless, infinite, non-dual,
infinite bliss, primordial, and of the nature of Supreme Bliss, due to
the ignorance of which or by not knowing which countless
differences such as me, mine, that, etc. arise here.
2.DAKSHINAMURTHI/SADAIVA
I meditate on a certain preceptor (Dakshinamurthi) seated at the
root of the banyan tree, clearly sporting the Chinmudra the
symbol of enlightenment and tranquility, adorning the crescent
moon in the crown, and the ocean of compassion.
3.NARAYANA
I meditate in my heart the primordial supreme, the foe of the
demon Mura, the compassionate and the dispassionate, though
having the chest smeared with vermilion due to the contact with the
lofty breasts of Kamal.
4. BRAHMA
I resort to the four-faced one the Creator, the foremost among the
self-restrained, seated in the lotus that emerged from the deep
cavity of the navel of the Lord Vishnu, and who is eloquent always in
reciting freely the four Vedas.
5.V ASISHTA
I approach for refuge Sage Vasishta, the spouse of Arundhati, the
incomprehensible one who is endowed with tranquility, and the
able preceptor, who quelled with the danda (staff) the arrows and
weapons hurled by Vishwamitra.
6. SHAKTI
I resort mentally to the Sage Shakti, a true renunciate, endowed
with great powers, the one whose presence removed the many sins
of King Mitrasaha, and the one with impeccable glory.
7 . PARAARA
I salute Sage Paraara, the best among sages, with a stature similar
to a delicate grass that drifts in the wind, the one who thwarted the
attacks of demons at the time of birth itself, and brought to light the
Vaishnava Samhita (Vishnu Purana), which is popular even now.
8. VYASA
May that son of Satyavati who classified the Vedas into four and
arranged the Puranas into eighteen, the preceptor of all
Upanishads, bestow the desired grace on me.

9. UKA
I resort to that great uka, the knower of self, devoid of the feeling
of I, mine, etc., the steadfast bereft of desire for material
pleasures, who eluded the worldly life as separated from the womb
of mother, and did not get deluded by the calamities of the material
world and its activities.
10. GAUDAPADA
I seek refuge in the revered Gaudapada, well-versed in the first
discourse of the compendium of Patanjali, the revered preceptor
who debated with Acharya, the leader who imparted the
knowledge of self to the mystics Apalunya, Pravrti, and others, and
guided them.
11. GOVINDA BHAGAVATPADA
Hail that sage by name Chandra, who chants Jaya Govinda, who
incarnated as AdiSesha, King Lakshmana, Balarama, and Patanjali,
and settled in a hermitage near the river Narmada.
12. R BHARTRPRAPANCHA
May that Bhartr (Prapancha) Hari, the accomplished disciple of this
GovindaYogindra, who by birth acquired the supreme knowledge or
the knowledge of the supreme, the receptacle of love through
aversion towards material pleasures and refraining from ruling the
kingdom, dispel my sins through his spiritual accomplishments.
13. RAKARA BHAGAVATPADA
When the teachings of the preceptors became faded out, the entire
righteous path enumerated in the Vedas was impeded and became
defunct,the austerities japa, homa, penance, etc., remained merely
in name, and the unrighteous path prevailed (over others) due to
the influence of powerful Kali,
14. RAKARA
When people everywhere resorted to the worship of Jina, Buddha,
Kapli, Shakti, Fire, Moon, Sun- as per the respective tantras, when
practices enunciated in the Vedas deteriorated, and the fascination
towards the principles against non-dualism and the Vedas became
popular,
15. RAKARA
Having directed Subrahmanya, who is compassionate towards the
gods who were perturbed by the happenings in the world, to go to
the earth earlier itself- for subduing the enemies and reinstating the
sacrifices,
16. RAKARA
Having made other gods Brahma, Vishnu, Indra, and others
descend first on earth and having thought, he himself descended
sportively as the child of riva Sharma, the husband of Arya, who
was craving for progeny.

iva, who has an eye on his forehead, manifested (was born) as the
fortune for those craving liberation, in the house of ivaarma,
which is competent to subjugate the arrogance of intellectuals
puffed up with arrogance; may that child preceptor Sakara
bestow the eternal bliss the liberation.
18. RAKARA
May he be for my joy at once, who, having been initiated, his father
having passed away, and having completed his studies, under the

consent to acquire initiation into the ascetic order.
19. RAKARA
May he shine, himself the author of the commentary to the
aphorisms, having acquired the ascetic order from the sage

and having blessed the discipleship (to Padmapada and others).
20. RAKARA
May this commentator instigated by Lord Vishwanatha, in the guise
of a low-born, instructed by the revered Brahma and Vyasa, cut off
my ego and bless me with impeccable tranquility as I offer
salutations.
21. RAKARA
May the Acharya- the best among the ascetics, having left the
eastern direction, though being ruled by the righteous king Hala,
reached Prayag near Triveni, and uplifted KumarilaBhatta, who was
engaged in the expiatory act entering into the heap of husk lit
with fire destroy your sins.
22. RAKARA
May the Acharya who desirous of victory, entering into the lively
place called Padmavana, to refute the wise Mandana Mishra whose
words were untenable, defeated him through arguments and made
him an ascetic (follower), and who always revels in bliss, protect
me.
23. RAKARA
I resort to that Acharya who, gradually entering into Badari, having
got an opportunity to worship the grand preceptor Gaudapada, and
having reached the white mountain Kailasha, was astonished on
looking at the beauty of Lord iva.
24. RAKARA
As the Lord iva disappeared after handing over the five ivalingas
(named Yoga, Bhoga, Vara, Siddhi, and Mukti) to the Acharya and
having directed him to go to the Earth at once, the Acharya having
returned (to the Earth), engaged in the conquest of directions (in
refuting systems other than Advaita) should shine in (my) mind
with various disciples.

consort of the Creator on the banks of the river Tungabhadra and
spent some years (about 12 years) in some monastery, be pleased
towards me at once.
26. RAKARA
Then the wonderful travel (after his stay at RishyshringaAshrama)
to Kci by this king of ascetics after the trip to the places such as
Kanyakumari, Tiruchendur, Rameshwaram, Gajaranya, Tirupati,
and Kalahasti may bestow the happiness/joy of revelation of the
self that yields tranquility now.
27. RAKARA

28. RAKARA

made the goddess pleasing and adorable, increase our merits.

completely, increase my merits.

31. RAKARA
May our preceptor who gradually established the auspicious places
of worship for all people from the Himalayas throughout the

namely release from bondage.

37. R SURESHVARACHARYA (2nd Preceptor)
I wish to wash away the letters or speech that have become impure

the desired benefits to the aspirants, the recitation of the stotras of
Paramahamsa.
38. R SARVAJA (3rd Preceptor, 407 364 B.C.)
May the noble one, the omniscient preceptor, who, sustaining on

Oh mind! Worship the preceptor Saccidghana, who, devoid of old

into the ivalinga form.

We adore the preceptor Vidyghana, who used to be ever on the

the Self through the text called Bodha (composed in rymetre),
foremost among the adepts, the accomplished one, effulgent
(inconquerable) though extremely calm, may bless me with
welfare.
85. R PARAMAIVENDRA (57th Preceptor, 1539 1586 A.D.)
May the preceptor of the knowledge of the Self enunciated in the
Vednta the Upaniads, the Paramaivendra, easily approachable
to the groups of virtuous people, tranquil, compassionately
removing my ignorance, place his foot in my heart always.
87. Thus, may the garland of great preceptors as the garland of
precious gems with the eighty six verses in the metreVasantaml
composed by the great Sadivabrahmendra at the request of the
illustrious ascetic named tmabodhendra, shine well.
86. R PARAMAIVENDRA (57th Preceptor)
I resort to for refuge the best among ascetics that preceptor
ivendra whose name is prefixed with the term Parama, endowed
with quietitude and by whose mere glances great men realize the
knowledge of non-dualism that dispels the duality (the knowledge
of duality) of the people.
