सोऽयं मर्त्यावतारस्तव खलु नियतं मर्त्यशिक्षार्थमेवं
विश्लेषार्तिर्निरागस्त्यजनमपि भवेत् कामधर्मातिसक्त्या ।
नो चेत् स्वात्मानुभूते: क्व नु तव मनसो विक्रिया चक्रपाणे
स त्वं सत्त्वैकमूर्ते पवनपुरपते व्याधुनु व्याधितापान् ॥१०॥

This incarnation of Thine in the form of a human being was taken to teach mankind the lessons to be learnt from the Ramayana. Excessive attachment to desire causes anguish and pain when one faces separation from loved ones and excessive attachment to duty leads to the sacrifice and suffering of innocent fellow beings. If thiswere not true, how could this change of mind have taken place in Thee, who artThyself the Supreme Self, and the Soul of Delight. Oh Guruvayurappa ! MayThou of such divine deeds, save me from my afflictions.
