with the Tulādhāra Greatness Prelude
विमानेन दिवं गच्छ सकुटुंबो महामुने । मत्प्रसादाच्च युष्माकं सदैव नवयौवनम्
vimānena divaṃ gaccha sakuṭuṃbo mahāmune | matprasādācca yuṣmākaṃ sadaiva navayauvanam
ఓ మహామునీ, కుటుంబంతో కూడి విమానంలో స్వర్గానికి వెళ్ళు. నా ప్రసాదంతో మీకు ఎల్లప్పుడూ నూతన యౌవనం నిలిచియుంటుంది.

Concept: Divine grace can elevate not only the individual but the family line; righteous conduct yields tangible ‘heavenly’ results.
