ఆత్మలాభాత్ పరో లాభో నాస్తీతి మునయో విదుః
తల్లాభార్థం కవిః స్తోతి స్వాత్మానం పరమేశ్వరం - 2
ఆత్మ లాభాన్ని మించిన లాభము లేదు అని మునులకు తెలియును.
అటువంటి లాభము కొఱకు కవి తన ఆత్మ ఐన పరమేశ్వరుని స్తుతించుచున్నారు.
Atma lAbhAt paraH lAbhaH nAsti iti munayaH viduH
tat lAbhArtham kaviH stOti svAtmAnaM paramESvaram
This verse is from mAnasOllAsa, vArtika of SrI surESvarAcArya on the stotra called SrI dakshiNAmUrthi stotram.In this first sloka after the mangaLa slOka, author introducing the purpose of the work.
"There is no lAbha "attainment, gain, or profit" superior to the attainment of self." This is known by the sages. For such a supreme gain, all knowing poet is praising the Supreme Lord abiding in own self.
My blogging career started in 2006 with this concept of know thyself - http://prasadchitta.blogspot.in/2006/12/know-yourself.html
I have used the 30th verse of first ullasa of mAnasOllAsa as invocation prayer for my yOga vEdAnta blog - http://prasad-yoga.blogspot.in/2009/10/mangalacharanam-prayer.html
इश्वरो गुरुरात्मेति मूर्तिभेदविभागिने |
व्योमवद्व्यप्तदेहाय दक्षिणामूर्तये नमः ||
