--------- Guru Paduka Stotram ---------

1. It helps to cross the endless ocean of samsara (worldly existence), becoming a boat, and it confers devotion to the Guru. Worshipping them, one reaches the dominion of renunciation itself. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas (sandals) of the Guru.
 
2. For the surging ocean of knowledge, it is like the full moon. For the fire of misfortunes, it is the cluster of clouds that showers rain. For those who worship them, they remove all adversities. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
3. Prostrating to them, they have become prosperous instantly, even those that were wallowing in poverty. And the mute ones are transformed into eloquent orators. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
4. Attracting one to the (Guru's) feet that are like a bouquet of lotuses. Removing the multitudes of desires that are born of delusion. They fulfil all the wishes of those that bow in submission. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
5. They shine like the gem that adorns a king's crown. Like a charming damsel in a fish infested large river. Sovereignty is conferred on the array of devotees that bow before them Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
6. They are like the Sun that destroy the endless darkness of sins. To the serpent of the triad miseries (caused by self, others and nature), they are like the King of Birds (Garuda). They are the conflagration that dries up the ocean of ignorance. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
7. They confer the six kinds of prosperity (shat-sampatti) that begins with control of the mind. They are bound by the vow to lead the initiated to Samadhi. They are the source of liberation and conferrers of steady devotion. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
8. They fulfil all wishes of those that are ever ready to serve and focussed on helping the ones in need, And bestow purity of heart when worshipped. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
 
9. To the serpents of vices led by lust (the six inner enemies), they are like Garuda. They bless with the treasures of discrimination and dispassion. They confer knowledge and instantly grant liberation. Salutations again and again unto the holy Padukas of the Guru.
