SUMMARY: The treasures which shelter the sensory organs are the real temples of Sri Hari; the daily cleaning on those organs is their anointment; organs such as eyes are the serial oil lamps; the subjects with which they align, act and react are their bed; the excessive happiness they provide to the heart and mind are the luxurious mattress and submission of the soul is the cloth offered to the Lord. One should think on these lines throughout the life.

It should be conceived that the Lord is with every being in the world here and hereafter. Such a submission alone gives happiness, satisfaction and peace of mind.  

The penultimate word in this stanza is “Atmanivedana”, which means submission of the inner soul to Sri Hari. “Nivedana” means virtual appeal, without any desire or demand. It is the pure appeal of the soul. “Atmanivedana” is said to be the ultimate phase of prayers, which begin with listening, singing and so on.

Sri Madhwacharyaru in his Bharata Tatparya NirNaya (7/5/23) describes as follows:

SUMMARY: The negative energy produced by sins is the footwear; righteousness is the sandal paste; thinking incessantly of Shastras or philosophy is the Basil (Sri Tulasi); various thoughts that arise in the mind are the flowers; anger is the perfumed smoke; devotion is the decoration; the good mind that settles down in Sri Hari is he White Parasol; good knowledge is the light and hailing the attributes of Sri Hari is the Mangalarati as the clockwise rotation of the light in front of the Lord. Everyone should think of the Lord on these lines.

The most important aspect of philosophical worship of Sri Hari is continuous thinking of the Scriptures and holy texts, without which the worship will be like without offering the Basil and hence not pleasing to the Lord.

True devotion has been hailed as the decoration. The intrinsic meaning is that everything should be submitted to the Lord and thought of as his grace and gratis.
