I greet the pollen-like dust of the lotus feet of my preceptor, refulgent, fragrant and
flavoured with love. It is a lovely powder of the life-giving herb, which allays the host of all
the attendant ills of mundane existence. It adorns the body of a lucky person even as white
ashes beautify the person of Lord ›iva, and brings forth sweet blessings and joys. It rubs
the dirt off the beautiful mirror in the shape of the devoteeís heart; when applied to the
forehead in the form of a Tilaka (a religious mark), it attracts a host of virtues. The
splendour of gems in the form of nails on the feet of the blessed Guru unfolds divine vision
in the heart by its very thought. The lustre disperses the shades of infatuation, highly
blessed is he in whose bosom it shines. With its very appearance the bright eyes of the
mind get opened; the attendant evils and sufferings of the night of mundane existence
disappear; and gems and rubies in the shape of stories of ›r∂ Råma, both patent and
hidden, wherever and in whatever mine they may be, come to lightó (1ó4)

óas for instance, by applying to the eyes the miraculous salve known by the
name of Siddhå¤jana (the eye-salve of perfection) strivers, adepts as well as men of
wisdom easily discover a host of mines on hill-tops, in the midst of forests and in the
bowels of the earth.
