O Lord, your temple is so clean, and your devotees are pure and perfect. O Lord, your gates are so beautiful, and your temple is filled with full of saints and saviours.


O Lord, your powers are very superior, those who have pure mind alone can enter into your temple. O Lord, people love you so much, and sometimes they forget about themselves, during the time of worship.


You are the Lord, who is very perfect, and your powers cannot be measured by anyone in the world. You are the giver of correct judgement and you would never show partiality with your devotees. All the religions teach only nice things to the people and the main intention of each and every religion is to spread universal peace, friendship and respect.


Oh Lord, make me always to utter your names, make me always to talk about you, make me always to remember you and make me a humble servant of you.
