HYMN TO VITARAGA
HBMACANDRA CARYA
Best amongst the Atmans and luminous Due to the destruction of karmic bondage, Foremost amongst the Parameşthins, Whom as a Sun-like awakener, The Wise meditate And who has crossed The horizon of darkness-Ignorance ,
Who has totally uprooted The tree of worldly misery And whom the lords of gods, demons and men Bow with their heads,
From whom has evolved all learning Pertaining to the realisation of Self And who himself is the knower of what is, what has been and what is to be,
And who has obtained knowledge supreme And bliss divine And simultaneously the state of a Perfected Being, Who is venerable, worthy of meditation, I take refuge in him.
