OM NAMO BHAGVATEUPASANA SEELAYO PARATANATMYAYA NAMO KINJANAVITHAYA RISHI RISABHAYA NARA NARAYANA PARAMAHAMSA PARAMA GURUVE ATMAARAMADHIPATAYE NAMO NAMA-Srimada Bhagvata 5th canto 19th chapter 11th hymn
(I offer my respectful obeisance and surrender myself to Nar Narayan the greatest of all saintly graces, the supreme personality of Godhead who is in the state of equilibrium and self realized free from all false prestige and who is the asset of person who have no material possessions(or the wealthiest of the wealthy).He is the spiritual master of all paramahamsas, who are the most exalted human beings and he is the master of self realized, who are all self absorbed in the eternal bliss. Let me offer my repeated obeisance at his lotus feet)
