Pauri 0: free me from craving, anger, greed, falseness, and running others down — and call me close to You. Rahau (Pauri 1): teach me Your own way, in Your own time; among those who love You, I sing and joy rises. Pauri 2: may You always live in my heart — met the perfect teaching by great fortune, and now I wander off no more.
