एवमेव क्रमेणैव नमस्कारैः स्वयंभुवः । लोकवंद्यो व्रजेत्स्वर्गं तस्मान्नित्यं समाचरेत्
evameva krameṇaiva namaskāraiḥ svayaṃbhuvaḥ | lokavaṃdyo vrajetsvargaṃ tasmānnityaṃ samācaret
ဤသို့ပင် အစဉ်လိုက်တကျ နမස්ကာရပြု၍ ကိုယ်တိုင်ပေါ်ပေါက်သူတောင် လောကက ချီးမွမ်းအပ်သူ ဖြစ်ကာ သုဝဏ္ဏဘုံသို့ ရောက်၏။ ထို့ကြောင့် နေ့စဉ် အမြဲကျင့်သင့်သည်။

FAQs
The verse recommends performing namaskāra—reverential salutations/obeisances—regularly and in proper sequence, as a daily discipline.
Svayaṃbhuvaḥ literally means “self-born.” In Purāṇic usage it commonly points to Brahmā (Svayambhū), though it can also indicate one who is self-originated or independent by nature.
Consistent humility and reverence (expressed through daily salutations) is presented as a meritorious discipline that brings honor in society and auspicious spiritual results.
