[This is a translation from the Original Marathi book Janmakhyan]

|| I Salute to Lord Ganesh the Elephant headed God of learning||

|| I Salute to Goddess Saraswati, The Goddess of learning and speech||

|| I salute at the honourable lotus feet of the spiritual instructor||

|| I salute to Lord Ganesh initially as Master of Speech for universal beginning and get the essence fulfilled ||

|| Packed tightly with Jasmine and covered with white cloth ||

|| With a stringed instrument lute adorned with stick with sedentary Yogic posture in Religious meditation ||

|| I always prayed to Lord Brahma, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva. I also prayed to Goddess Saraswati fully ||

|| Incarnated with great happiness and Supreme Bliss ||

|| Beyond duality, similar to the sky and beginning with an aim with the essence of Vedanta ||

|| One always motionless and clean by all means created Being with Witness ||

|| Beyond the devotion and without the three qualities Satva Rajas and Tamas. I pray to the good Preceptor ||

|| As the preceptor is Supreme Lord and hence I salute to the Lord Brahma, preceptor Lord Vishnu and preceptor Lord Shiva ||

|| Wearing a saffron coloured garment adorned with a rod in one hand and a gourd,earthen waterpot in the other hand with a conch shell ||

|| And holding a sharp circular weapon as an ornament of decoration, I surrender to the Supreme Lord for protection ||

|| I salute to Lord Dattatreya an original Master and the Lord who is established in a strong place, fort

|| I salute to the preceptor Ramanand Maharaj who is well-versed in Vedanta the Hindu Philosophy||

|| I Worship devotionally the Lord Ramachandra, the incarnation of Lord Dattatreya,with great happiness||

|| I also salute calmly the merciful preceptor Lord Ramchandra and also the ascetic Lord Krishna always||

|| Oh! Lord Dattatreya mother|| You are my mother||Lord Dattatreya mother||

|| Show your full favour on your devotee||

|| The three Gods Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva always dwelled in on

|| Sage Atri and Anusuya the daughter dwelled under the glamorous fig tree||

|| Appearing like a six-armed statue with the body marked with ashes||

|| The armholding a gourd with shining appearance||

|| Holding a conch with a sharp circular wheel in one hand and a mace in the other hand|| a small wallet fixed in an armpit!

|| The Saffron coloured garment appearing beautiful on the body|| The wooden slippers making a brisk sound in the legs||

|| By accepting the garland of the berries of a sacred tree|| And the accompanying dogs ||

|| Like the Moon and Sun the eyes also appearing beautiful||

|| That luster dazzling the eyes|| All the ten directions getting pervaded with that luster||

|| That splendid luster giving assurance of protection and blessing||

|| The mass of the matted hair appearing beautiful on the head ||

|| In the right luster, Lord Dattatreya shining ||

|| At the lotus feet of Lord Dattatreya, the incarnated three headed God, the humble servant offering salutation ||

|| Oh! Mother, come running ||

|| Let my attention be drawn towards the offering of my salutations at the lotus feet of Lord Swami Samarth ||

|| Let my body be surrendered in the celebration of the praises of Lord Swami Samarth with music and singing ||

|| I pray to Shree Swami Samarth, Lord Dattatreya, the God of Truth , Knowledge and Joy ||

|| By getting completely absorbed, I pray to Shree Swami Samarth Lord Dattatreya,with great love ||

|| In the Temple of my heart, I daily salute to Shree Swami Samarth Lord Dattatreya ||

|| By getting completely absorbed in Shree Swami Samarth Lord Dattatreya, I prefer to live with delight ||

|| An humble servant, by getting absorbed in the favour of the preceptor Shree Swami Samarth, Lord Dattatreya Dances in his own home with great delight||

|| Please come Good preceptor|| Please come for celebration of the praise of God, with music and singing ||

|| Though I am dull in understanding the meaning and humble || You grant me good intellect ||

|| There is no poetry, no interpretation|| I am unable to describe your good qualities ||

|| I pray to you to come quickly along with the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning and speech ||

|| Grant me the knowledge always||

|| By dwelling in the place of heart always with pleasure develop great interest ||

|| In the field of Kirtan by the celebration of praise of God with music and singing developed the great interest by dancing||

|| All of us were made to dance by this celebration ||

|| By granting great devotion to the humble servant ||

|| The devotee was made very comfortable||
