For the good of the world.

Jo chit dai nit padhat padhavat
puran bhakti shakti sarsavat.

vaibhav vikashat, sumati prakashat.

Would become wealthy and get good thoughts.

Avat sukh, gavat shruti sharada,
bhashat Vyas-bachan rishi Narad.

Pleasures would come,  sings Goddess Saraswathi,

So also tell sage Vyasa  and sage Narada,

Milat subhag phal shok nasavat
ant samaya jan Han pad pavat.

Sorrows will vanish  good  will come,

And at the end people would get salvation.

Doha

Prem sahit gahi dhyan mahan, hridai bicha Jagdish,
Arpit Shaligram kahan, kari Tulasi nit shish.
Kshan bhangur tanu jani, kari ahankar parihar.
Sar rup Ishvar lakhai, taji asar sansar,
Satya shodh kari ur gahai, ek Brahma Onkar,
Atma bodh hovai tabai, milai mukti ke dvar.
Shanti aur sadbhav kahan, jab ur phulahin phul,
Chalisa phal lahahin jan, rahahi Ish anukul.
Ek path jan nit karai, Vishnu dev chalis,
Char padarath navahun nidhi, deyan Dvarikadhis

This prayer should be sung with love ,

After making the great Lord sit in your heart,

Basil flowers should be offered  to Shaligram,

Understanding  that the body is transient  you should leave out all pride,

And then Know that the lord is the only reality  and the world is due to him,

Also do  basic  study on truth and find that “Om” is Brahmam,

And then you will understand who you are and Would reach the gates of  salvation,

And if peace and goodwill are there , You would definitely  get the fruits,

And if you know  these forty verses, God will be on your side.

If these forty verses are read daily  and you wish victory to Vishnu,

The Lord Of Dwaraka would give you four rewards and nine treasures.
