श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रविरिचितः
I am constantly blazing forth (i.e. mindful) on every side; may the puțapäkal of my intensely undertaken (practice of pure) conduct, both internal and external, be accomplished in the fire of knowledge. As a result of (accomplishing) this, there shine forth all the beautiful splendours of one's
