तमीश्वराणां परमं महेश्वरं तं देवतानां परमं च दैवतम्। पतिं पतीनां परमं परस्ताद्विदाम देवं भुवनेशमीड्यम्॥

tamīśvarāṇāṃ paramaṃ maheśvaraṃ taṃ devatānāṃ paramaṃ ca daivatam | patiṃ patīnāṃ paramaṃ parastādvidāma devaṃ bhuvaneśamīḍyam ||

"May we know Him - the supreme Lord of lords, the supreme Deity of deities, the supreme Master of masters, beyond, the God, the adorable Lord of the world!"

What This Means:

We seek to know the supreme Lord of all lords, the supreme God of all gods, the ultimate Master beyond all. He is the adorable Lord of the universe.

Going Deeper:

The superlative expressions (supreme of supremes) emphasize absolute transcendence. This is a prayer for highest knowledge.

How To Apply This:

Pray to know the supreme of all supremes. Let your aspiration reach for the highest.
