SUMMARY: If someone were to imagine in mind to offer the charming object, he would accept it and in return, he would give a huge and ever fresh wealth, along with sandal wood paste, juice etc., which would flow away like the holiest, radiant Ganga. The Lord would always protect devotees; clearing the negative energy of the sins, Lord Hari would remain unmatched in clearing the sins.

Sri Jagannathadasaru has said about psychological worship of Lord. Worship of Lord Hari need not mean pomp and glory. If unable to physically offer the worship, devotees can offer worship from within the heart and mind. Other deities cannot grant all desires like Lord Hari.

The compounded expression “sadguNava kaddava” refers to devotees who would adopt the good qualities seen in others. It sets a standard or character that one should emulate good things that are present in others. “Kadiyuvudu”, which in Kannada means “stealing” has been used here as a positive attribute of “knowing” or acquiring or learning knowledge. Lord Hari is known as Navaneeta Chora and “Chora” means a thief. What Hari does is he steals away the sins of his devotees and present them with grand and glorious gifts of knowledge and salvation.
