Devanagari script

अहं च योगेश्वरमात्मतत्त्व- विदां मुनीनां परमं गुरुं वै । प्रष्टुं प्रवृत्त: किमिहारणं तत् साक्षाद्धरिं ज्ञानकलावतीर्णम् ॥ १९ ॥

Translation

我视您为瑜伽自在者，亦为通达我性真理之诸牟尼中最上之师。您为利益世人而降临，乃神之化身迦毗罗天（Kapiladeva）——亲自的哈利、知识精华之降世——的直接代表。因此，师尊啊，我请问：此世间最稳妥的归依处为何？

FAQs

This verse identifies Lord Hari Himself as the supreme guru of the munis who know ātma-tattva, because He is the direct source of spiritual knowledge.

He highlights that genuine understanding comes by sincerely questioning the highest authority—Hari, the master of yoga and knowledge—about the true cause behind one’s condition and experience.

Instead of guessing the meaning of life’s difficulties, cultivate humble inquiry into self-realization—seeking guidance from authentic spiritual sources centered on Hari and ātma-tattva.
