SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharya, who is the most accomplished among those aware of right cultural practices, woke up at the break of dawn or sunrise, completed bathing and other routine duties, paid obeisance, hid his face within a red silk shawl, sat in Yogasan posture and meditated on Parabrahma Narayana, the embodiment of knowledge and other infinite virtues.

This stanza describes the routine of Sri Madhwacharyaru in the early hours of every morning, when he was meditating on Lord Narayana. While the sunrise time is appropriate for all people to wake up from bed, for Yatis, it is the time to pay obeisance.

SUMMARY: Several distinguished disciple-saints or Yatis of Sri Madhwacharyaru cleaned their tooth with Dantakashta, a herbal stick prescribed for cleaning the tooth with in the Shastras. They had bath in the pond. By following the good practices, they were displaying their dedication for what they had learnt from Sri Madhwaru and making humanity aware of the kind of righteous practices their Guru/Master (Sri Madhwaru) had taught them.

SUMMARY: The disciples were going to bed only after their Guru slept; they used to wake up earlier than their Guru, serving their Guru till midnight of that day with dedication, pleasure and commitment; how can anyone find the path to salvation if a disciple does not serve his Guru with such devotion and conviction?

The word Sugati means Sujnana or supreme knowledge as well as Sadgati or salvation.

SUMMARY: One of the disciples could not wake up once at the appropriate time since he was engaged in Shravana or listening or Manana or understanding by going through the texts till late in the night; the master woke up earlier than him, took the loin clothes and other essentials and swiftly went to have bath. On seeing his Master do the duties on his own, the disciple repented a lot.

In this stanza there is an example of how a Master should set an example for his disciples. The master should be a model worth emulating. The Master did not get angry on his disciple since the disciple had spent the previous day, till late night, in listening and understanding and going through holy texts.
