Word breakdown
- नालीकनीकाशपदाहृताभ्यां
- Lotus-like, whose feet are held in reverence,
- नानाविमोहादिनिवारिकाभ्याम् ।
- warding off various delusions and the like,
- नमज्जनाभीष्टततिप्रदाभ्यां
- granting abundantly the desires of people who bow,
- नमो नमः श्रीगुरुपादुकाभ्याम् ॥४॥
- salutations, salutations to the blessed sandals of the Guru.
Lotus feet that remove delusion fulfil true desire by showing what is worth wanting. The disciple who bows learns that the highest gift is freedom from confusion about the real and the unreal.
