deva kinnara gandharvaah
pitaro yaksa caaranaah
munayo pi na jaananti
guru shushrusane vidhim

Gods, Kinnaras, Gandharvas, Pitris, Yakshas, Charanas
(all beings of different orders), and even sages do not
know the proper manner of serving the Guru.

mahaa ahankaara garvena
tapo vidyaa balaa vitaah
samsaara kuharaa avarte
ghata yantre yathaa ghataah

Due to inflated ego and pride, (even) those equipped with
the power of austerity and learning (continue to revolve)
in the vortex of worldly life, like pots on a water wheel.

na muktaa deva gandharvaah
pitaro yaksa kinnaraah
rsayah sarva siddhas cha
guru sevaa paraang mukhaah

(Even) Gods, Gandharvas, Pitris, Yakshas, Kinnaras,
seers, and all Siddhas are not liberated if they are
averse to serving the Guru.
