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, Jai Sri Vishnu ! 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.
