GuruStotram – completed the Grurstotram 
 

9. Na Guror-adhikam tattvam na Guror-adhikam tapah. 
Tattva-gyanat-param nasti tasmai Shri Gurave Namah. 
  
There is no higher truth than the Guru, no higher penance than (service to) the Guru, and there is nothing higher than Realisation of the Knowledge of the truth imparted by the Guru. My salutations to such a Gurudev, who is himself that very timeless truth (and who has taken up a form to bless his disciples like us with real knowledge). 


12. Man-naathah Shri Jagan-nathah Mat-guru-shri jagad-guruhu. 

Mad-atma sarva-bhutatma tasmai Shri Gurave Namah. 
 
My Lord is the Lord of Universe; My teacher is the teacher of the entire universe; and my Self is the Self of all. My salutations at the lotus-feet of such a Guru, who has revealed such knowledge to me.


13. Gurur-adir-anadish-cha Guruh-param-daivatam. 

Guroh-parataram nasti tasmai Shri Gurave Namah. 

The Guru is the beginning of the Universe, yet he himself is without a beginning, the Guru is the highest deity, and there is none higher than the Guru. My reverential salutations at the lotus-feet of such a Gurudev.  

  
14. Tvameva mata cha pita tvameva  tvameva bandhushcha sakha tvameva. 

Tvameva vidya dravinam tvameva  tvameva sarvam mama-dev-deva. 

You are everything for me; mamadev-deva – O My ultimate God  
O God! You alone are my mother, my father, my brother, and my friend. You alone are the knowledge, my real wealth. You are everything for me. You are verily my God alone.
