OM. Lord Sadashiva is the seer of this mantra
in the form of a hymn: Shri Guru Gita.
Its verse patterns are diverse.
The supreme Self of the venerable Guru
is its deity.

Ham is its seed letter, Sah its power,
and Krom its nail. The purpose of
repeating it is to win the Guru's Grace.

Om, Heer Sadaashiva is de ziener van de
strofen van deze mantra: de eerwaarde
Guru Gita, met verzen in verschillende
metriek. Het hoogste zelf van de eerwaarde
Guru is de godheid ervan. 
Ham is het  zaad, Sah de kracht en Krom
het anker van dit lied. Het wordt gereciteerd
om de gunst van de Guru te verwerven.
Dit was de inleiding.
