Chapter CCXX - The Sarvarthada Mantra

Hari said:—Now hear me enumerate the Mantra, which repeated for seven nights in succession by a person, enables him to witness the realisation of all his wished-for objects.

Obeisance to the giver of perfect knowledge, obeisance to the embodied self of pure joy. Obeisance to the one that delighteth in the soul, obeisance to the embodied quiesism, obeisance to the one who observeth no duality in the universe. This universe is thy image, hence do I make obeisance to thee. Obiesance to Hrishikesha, the great spirit reflected in the universe. I make obeisance to Brahma from whom all this has come into being, in whom lies this all and from whom many other eternities will originate. Thou supportest this terrestrial globe, I make obeisance to thee. I make obeisance to Him whom the mind, life and the sense-organs cannot reach and who, like this ethereal expanse, lies extended both in the inside and outside of creatures. Om, obeisance to the Lord, the great Purusha, the Supreme Lord of the Mahabhutas (primordial matter) whose lotus feet are surrouned by the polens of virtues of heirarchies of beings of Sattva qualities. I make obeisance to the final goal of all. By dint of this knowledge, Chitrakatu was lifted to the status of a Vidyadhara.
