Meaning: Oh Lord Dakshinaamurthi! The ameliorator of the sufferings of the devotees. He is the form of Chidaananda and is always steeped in silent meditation. He is seated under the imperishable golden peepal tree. He is praised by the eminent Rajayogis like Sanaka and others. He is the savior of true devotees and eradicates the evil thoughts. He is devoted to different forms of knowledge and is beyond illusion. He is Lord Siva. He is very skilful in clearing all the doubts and is steeped in Yogic state of abstract meditation Š Samaadhi. He is firm in meditation and is of the form of divine power brimming with ever-flowing bliss Š established in supreme joy. He is the form of liberation, which is imperceptible knowledge and bliss. He is the bestower of happiness and the obliterator of ignorance.
