Oh Sarva Swami ! The world praises You through the recitation of Your many titles (Bhirudhus). Some of these Bhirudhus are: The One who has ChEthanams and achEthanams as His property , Ocean of Mercy , Delectable aparyApthAmrutham to enjoy, One who tolerates all apachArams committed by the chEthanams , ability to mix with even lowly ones , One who is under the control of His BhakthAs, One who is the most generous and who is not satisfied with all that He has given to His devotees ,One who is free of any blemish what so ever.
