Meaning
Always install the god in your mind
why should you have an ego in this worldly life?
Aho! the mundane life is short-lived; discard the inconsistency and desire; delight in the glory of Lord Madhava which is flawless and replenished with nectar.
Do not be arrogant with your knowledge; do not even think of committing ruthless sins; do not mix with vile people and protect yourself from the hell of a dreadful and filthy way of life.
Be compassionate forever; consider all the creations of the universe as thy soul; wipe off the grief; always meditate soulfully upon Lord Sri Padmanabha whose form has the effulgence of water-bearing clouds.
