Oh!
Mortals, meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord Vishnu who is reclining on the serpent
Anantha, he has the complexion of dark clouds, he has Garuda/King of bird as
celestial vehicle, he has beautiful eyes that has the resemblance to lotus
flower petals, he carries mace/Gadha, wheel/Chakram, lotus flower in his hands,
he is eternal and he is Lakshmivallabha.
Oh! Mortals, meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord Vishnu who has beautiful
curly hair locks resembles to the pack of honey bees, he is attired in majestic
yellow garments, he is seated with Goddess Sri on his left. Oh! Mortals, meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord
Vishnu, there is no meaning of recitation of hymns or performance of severe
austerities and penance and Yagas/fire sacrifices, or visit to sacred places,
or attaining profound knowledge in sacred scriptures without true faith and
devotion to Kamalapathi. Oh! Mortals,
meditate upon Lord Kamalapathi/Lord Vishnu, it is difficult to attain the birth
of a human, even the deities would earn for it, therefore don’t waste your time
in worldly matters. Oh! Mortals meditate
upon Kamalapathi/Lord Vishnu, none of these worldly attachments like wife,
children, brothers, mother, father or relatives are not going to follow you,
therefore sincerely meditate upon Lord Vishnu.
Oh! Mortals, meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord Vishnu, none of these
visible or invisible things are permanent in this Universe, even your youth and
wealth, therefore use your intelligence and meditate upon Lord Vishnu. Oh! Mortals meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord
Vishnu, our body undergoes constant changes and weakens with various illnesses,
and it has Navadhvara/seven doors to release our Prana at any moment, therefore
understand the fragile nature of the same and meditate upon Lord Vishnu. Oh ! Mortals, meditate upon Kamalapathi/Lord
Vishnu, who is eulogized by Rishis, Sage, Lord Indhra and deities, he is
venerated by Lord Bhrama, Lord Mahendhra and Lord Indhra, he destroys the fear
of Jara/aging, Jananam/birth and Maranam/death, therefore sincerely meditate
upon Lord Vishnu.Whoever
recites or listens to the glorious verses of Sri Kamalapathi Ashtakam with utmost
faith and devotion, composed by Paramahamasa, would attain the abode of Lord
Vishnu.
