ఆశాం విహాయ పరిహృత్య పరస్య నిందా
పాపేరతించ సునివార్య మనస్సమాధౌ
ఆదాయ హృత్కమలమధ్యగతం పరేశం
వారాణసీ పురపతిం భజ విశ్వనాథం
Having given up desire, given up blaming others, turned away from attachment towards committing sins, having placed the mind in balanced state - 'samadhi' let's be devoted to the supreme staying in the center of the heart-lotus, also known as viSvanAtha, lord of city of vAraNAsi.
