बंदउ गुरु पद पदुम परागा।
सुरुचि सुबास सरस अनुरागा।।
अमिय मूरिमय चूरन चारू।
समन सकल भव रुज परिवारू।।

bandaum guru pada padama paraga
sur(u)chi subasa sarasa anuraga
amya murimaya churana charu
samana sakala bhava ruja parivaru

I greet the pollen-like dust of the lotus feet
of my preceptor (guru), 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.

I praise the lotus feet of the Guru
who is always full of nectar and love.
He removes all pain from
 the material world.
