Gurvashtakam
janmanekashataih sadadarayuja bhaktya samaradhito
bhaktairvaidikalakshanena vidhina santushta Ishah svayam |
sakshacchrigururupametya kripaya driggocarah san prabhuh
tattvam sadhu vibodhya tarayati tan samsaraduhkharnavat ||
The Supreme Lord, moved by the devout and reverential homage of his disciples in accord with scriptural prescriptions in countless former births, incarnates out of compassion in the form of a Guru; he thereby comes within the orbit of sight, freely transmits to them the wisdom concerning Ultimate Reality, and enables them to cross over the ocean of sorrowful samsara, the realm of conditioned existence.
sharlram surupam tatha va kalatram
yashashcaru citram dhanam merutulyam |
manashcenna lagnam guroranghripadme
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
