Meaning: For offering prayers one should have the body through which we can reach God and attain mOksha (salvation). "Paramu" = God, "Aparamu" = the human being, "Prakruti" = the steady medium through which we can perform, the body. Knowledge of these three is wisdom. Similarly, "Ksharamu" is the world, "Aksharamu" is God and unlimited wealth is Shree VenkaTEshwara (PurushOttama). The knowledge of these three is truth.
