Translations
Thou art the Father of this world, both moving and unmoving. Thou art to be adored by this world; Thou, the greatest Guru; for none exists who is equal to Thee; how then could there be another superior to Thee in the three worlds, O Being of unrivaled power?
For you are the Father of all things movable and immovable, the Worshipful, the Master of Masters! In all the worlds, there is none equal to you; how then could there be one superior, O you who stand alone, Supreme?
You are the Father of all beings, both moving and non-moving; to You, the Teacher, are they worthy of worship, and You are greater than a teacher. There is none equal to You; how can there be anyone greater even in all the three worlds, O You of unrivaled power?
आप ही इस चराचर संसारके पिता हैं, आप ही पूजनीय हैं और आप ही गुरुओंके महान् गुरु हैं। हे अनन्त प्रभावशाली भगवन् ! इस त्रिलोकीमें आपके समान भी दूसरा कोई नहीं है, फिर अधिक तो हो ही कैसे सकता है !Commentary
There exists none who is eal to Thee There cannot be two or more Isvaras. If there were, the world will not get on as it does now. All the Isvaras may not be of one mind, as they would all be independent of one another. What one wishes to create, another may wish to destroy. When there does not exist one who is eal to Thee, how could there be one superior to Thee-Father Creator. As the Lord is the creator of this world He is fit to be adored. He is the greatest Guru also. Therefore there is no one who is eal to the Lord.
