Mind, abandon pride and worship the lotus feet of Hari and the guru; serving them one attains Lord Hari, treasury of joy. (1) First, like the first lunar day, comes love; without love, meeting Rama is very distant, though he dwells near, filling one’s heart. (2) Second, abandon dual vision and move steadily over the earth; the Hero of Raghu dwells in a heart free of delusion, Maya, and pride. (3) Third, Mukunda, Lord of Sri, is beyond the three qualities; without leaving their nature, supreme bliss is hard to gain. (4) Fourth, relinquish intellect, mind, awareness, and ego; pure discernment reveals the generous, innate joy of the highest state. (5) Fifth, do not obey touch, taste, sound, smell, and form, lest you fall again into becoming’s well. (6) Sixth, conquer the six enemies for Janaki’s Lord; without Raghupati’s grace-water, greed’s fire is not quenched. (7) Seventh, consider the body made of seven constituents; its single fruit is service to others. (8) Eighth, immutable Rama is beyond eightfold nature; how can Hari be attained while many desires inhabit the heart? (9) Ninth, one who dwells in the nine-gated city without securing one’s good wanders many wombs and receives fierce pain. (10) Tenth, if one does not knowingly restrain the ten, every discipline is vain and Sarangapani is not found. (11) Eleventh, master the one mind and serve the One; this vow yields its fruit and destroys coming and going. (12) Twelfth, give such a gift that the three worlds become fearless; its completion is devotion to others’ good, after which sorrow does not pervade. (13) Thirteenth, leave the three states and worship the Lord, beyond mind, deed, and word, pervading, pervaded, infinite. (14) Fourteenth, Gopala is the moving and unmoving form of the fourteen worlds; without the end of division, Raghupati does not remove the world-net. (15) At fullness, servants know Hari’s nectar as the nectar of loving devotion: equal, cool, prideless, absorbed in knowledge, aloof from objects. (16) Burn the three pains in the Holi fire and now play Phag; if you desire supreme joy, enter this path. (17) The Chanchari is Murari’s deeds, approved by Veda, Purana, and wise; reflect and cross becoming, never falling into Yama’s stream. (18) Hari alone ends doubt and pain and is joy’s treasury; despite many means, he is not found without a saint’s grace. (19) Saints’ pure feet are the boat across becoming’s ocean; Tulsi, Rama the grief-remover is found without strain. (20)
