1. All these whatsoever exists in this universe is the manifestation and manipulation of the divinity. All whatever is seen here is the product and various forms of that divinity itself. Do not grab from others, but get yourselves satisfied with what you have.
2. Live yourself by performing your dharma and karma for hundred years in this world. The only pathway for the happy life is performing the dharmic karma bestowed upon each individuals, nothing else is to be done.

4. Even though the absolute appears as motionless, it travels faster than the mind. The senses cannot overtake that one, but it never goes before anything. Though it is immovable by itself. It travels faster than any other thing which travels. By this absolute Brahmam all the universe is filled/covered.
5. But the absolute truth of Brahmam is the one which is motionless, but it is swifter than all other materials which move. That is present in the farthest of this universe and also present nearest. It is present inside everyone and also outside everything/ everyone.
6. He who can experience the life force which is present in self, also present in all others . And also the same force present in all others is also present in self , He himself becomes ‘that’ and will never turns away from ‘ that’.
7. He who perceives all living being as self and also self in all living beings, how can there be selfishness and delusion when he experiences the oneness and unity in everything.?

12. (One should know that there are two types of knowledge, the one which is spiritual known as vidya and the other one scientific known as avidya.)

13. By vidya one attains one aspect of the life and by avidya another aspect of life is attained. - They are spiritual attainments/ achievements and the other physical attainments/ achievements.
14 (read this first and then 12th and 13th mantra) One should know that there are two types in everything. The one which is permanent / unchangeable and the other one which always changes. The one unchangeable is known as sambhoothi (the one which can neither be created nor be destroyed =energy and fundamental particles) and the changeable is known as asambhoothi ( which are changeable / vinasam) all that what we see . Use the asabhoothi aspect for solving the problems in the worldly life and use the sambhoothi for attaining immortality or permanent peace in life .

Those who think that worshipping through the first/ one method of samboothi, will enter into blinding darkness and also those who follow the other pathway of asmbhoothi, will also enter into the same darkness. Hence integrate both the methods.
16. Through the pathway of sambhoothi one can attain one aspect in the life and through the other method one can attain the second aspect . hence integrate both the pathways.
17. The face /surface of the satyam ( satyam = truth +fact +essence) is covered with a golden cover. Oh pooshan /Sun remove that cover and pour your light/ knowledge so that we can see that truth with our own eyes. Let me know that the satyam/ truth existing is also the same which is present in me and in the universe itself also.
18. Oh. Sun, the traveler of the universe and giver of light to one and all celestial bodies, Through your fantastic glorious light rays , let me see the glorious and blessed form of the controller / guide of the universe, which is present in the universe, in an atom and also in me + in all living beings.
19. This human body (of mine) is composed of vayu /air, agni /fire, amrutha chaitanya/ immortal life force/ prajna/ soul, and let when this body turns into ash, oh mind remember the past of you and what you have done in the past, remember the present where you are lying and your status in the future what you are going to become ! Remember ! Remember! Remember ( your past, present and future when lying on the pyre)
19. Oh God agni / fire (agni deva ) lead us through the most glorious pathway of dharma and the pathway of goodness ,Oh agni remove the evil from within us. To you, Oh agni we offer our prostrations again and again….lead us through the dharmic pathway. The pathway of dharma
