Simple Meaning · सरल अर्थ
हे भुवन-भूषण! हे भूतों के नाथ! कोई आश्चर्य नहीं कि आपके सच्चे गुणों से इस लोक में आपकी स्तुति करने वाले लोग आपके ही समान हो जाते हैं। और इसमें क्या आश्चर्य? — कौन सा स्वामी है जो अपने आश्रित को अपने ही समान नहीं कर देता?
O ornament of the worlds! O Lord of all beings! It is no wonder that those who, with true qualities, praise You here on earth become equal to You. What master, after all, does not raise his dependents to his own level?
