ಕುರು ಭುಂಕ್ಷ್ವ ಚ ಕರ್ಮ ನಿಜಂ ನಿಯತಂ ಹರಿಪಾದ ವಿನಮ್ರಧಿಯಾ ಸತತಂ |
ಹರಿರೇವ ಪರೋ ಹರಿರೇವ ಗುರುಃ ಹರಿರೇವ ಜಗತ್ ಪಿತೃಮಾತೃಗತಿಃ || ೩.೧ ||

कुरु भुङ्क्ष्व च कर्म निजं नियतं हरिपादविनम्रधिया सततं ।
हरिरेव परो हरिरेव गुरुः हरिरेव जगत्पितृमातृगतिः ॥ १॥
Do your prescribed duties always with reverence to the feet of the Lord, as Hari is the Supreme Being, He is the father, mother, teacher and the final support for the souls. Accept the fruits there-of also with the same submission to His will.
ನ ತತೋsಸ್ತ್ಯಪರಂ ಜಗದೀಡ್ಯತಮಂ ಪರಮಾತ್ಪರತಃ ಪುರುಷೋತ್ತಮತಃ |
ತದಲಂ ಬಹುಲೋಕವಿಚಿಂತನಯಾ ಪ್ರವಣಂ ಕುರು ಮಾನಸಮೀಶಪದೇ || ೩.೨ ||
न ततोऽस्त्यपरं जगदीड्यतमं (जगतीड्यतमं) परमात्परतः पुरुषोत्तमतः ।
तदलं बहुलोकविचिन्तनया प्रवणं कुरु मानसमीशपदे ॥ २॥

There is no one else in the world of living and inert matter who is more appropriate for worshiping. He is also the greatest Purusha or entity ever. Therefore, stop your thinking about worldly affairs and immerse your mind in contemplation of His lotus feet.

ಯತತೋsಪಿ ಹರೇಃ ಪದಸಂಸ್ಮರಣೇ ಸಕಲಂ ಹ್ಯಘಮಾಶು ಲಯಂ ವ್ರಜತಿ |
ಸ್ಮರತಸ್ತು ವಿಮುಕ್ತಿಪದಂ ಪರಮಂ ಸ್ಫುಟಮೇಷ್ಯತಿ ತತ್ಕಿಮಪಾಕ್ರಿಯತೇ || ೩.೩ ||
यततोऽपि हरेः पदसंस्मरणे सकलं ह्यघमाशु लयं व्रजति ।
स्मरतस्तु विमुक्तिपदं परमं स्फुटमेष्यति तत्किमपाक्रियते ॥ ३॥

For those who try to remember the lotus feet of the Lord, all sins are destroyed quickly. For those who remember Him constantly and meditate upon Him, attainment of Mukti is assured. So, why should anyone having sense not do it?
ಶ್ರುಣುತಾಮಲಸತ್ಯವಚಃ ಪರಮಂ ಶಪಥೇರಿತಂ ಉಚ್ಛ್ರಿತಬಾಹುಯುಗಂ |
ನ ಹರೇಃ ಪರಮೋ ನ ಹರೇಃ ಸದೃಶಃ ಪರಮಃ ಸ ತು ಸರ್ವ ಚಿದಾತ್ಮಗಣಾತ್ || ೩.೪ ||

शृणुतामलसत्यवचः परमं शपथेरितं उच्छ्रितबाहुयुगं ।
न हरेः परमो न हरेः सदृशः परमः स तु सर्व चिदात्मगणात् ॥ ४॥
Acharya says, I take a solemn oath with both my arms raised high; There is none superior to Sri Hari, there is not even one similar to Him. He is the greatest amongst all chetanas.

ಯದಿ ನಾಮ ಪರೋ ನ ಭವೇತ ಹರಿಃ ಕಥಮಸ್ಯ ವಶೇ ಜಗದೇತದಭೂತ್ |
ಯದಿ ನಾಮ ನ ತಸ್ಯ ವಶೇ ಸಕಲಂ ಕಥಮೇವ ತು ನಿತ್ಯ ಸುಖಂ ನ ಭವೇತ್ || ೩.೫
यदि नाम परो न भवेत (भवेत्स) हरिः कथमस्य वशे जगदेतदभूत् ।
यदि नाम न तस्य वशे सकलं कथमेव तु नित्यसुखं न भवेत् ॥ ५॥

If Hari is not supreme, how did this world continue in His control? If the world is not in His control, why has it not attained eternal bliss?
The Yukthi here is that any entity which is independent will never be miserable as it will always choose happiness. As it is a universal experience that all souls are not eternally happy, they are dependent. The other logical statement is that the world needs a Chethana to control it and run it in an orderly fashion and He is the Supreme Being.
ನ ಚ ಕರ್ಮವಿಮಾಮಲ ಕಾಲಗುಣಪ್ರಭೃತೀಶಮಚಿತ್ತನು ತದ್ಧಿ ಯತಃ |
ಚಿದಚಿತ್ತನು ಸರ್ವಮಸೌ ತು ಹರಿರ್ಯಮಯೇದಿತಿ ವೈದಿಕಮಸ್ತಿ ವಚಃ || ೩.೬ ||

न च कर्मविमामल कालगुण प्रभृतीशमचित्तनु तद्धि यतः ।
चिदचित्तनु सर्वमसौ तु हरिर्यमयेदिति वैदिकमस्ति वचः ॥ ६॥

Entities like Karma, Avidya, Doshas, Time, three Gunas can’t attain Lordship of this world as it is well known that they are Jada (incapable of knowledge). Shruti proclaims that Hari controls the entire world of Chetana and Jada entities.

ವ್ಯವಹಾರಭಿದಾಪಿ ಗುರೋರ್ಜಗತಾಂ ನ ತು ಚಿತ್ತಗತಾ ಸ ಹಿ ಚೋದ್ಯಪರಮ್ |
ಬಹವಃ ಪುರುಷಾಃ ಪುರುಷಪ್ರವರೋ ಹರಿರಿತ್ಯವದತ್ ಸ್ವಯಮೇವ ಹರಿಃ || ೩.೭ ||
व्यवहारभिदाऽपि गुरोर्जगतां न तु चित्तगता स हि चोद्यपरम् ।
बहवः पुरुषाः पुरुषप्रवरो हरिरित्यवदत्स्वयमेव हरिः ॥ ७॥
The supreme teacher of all the worlds has Himself taught in reply to a question that the theory that vyavahAra bhEda will give way to identity between the soul and the Supreme Being in Moksha is invalid. He has said that the souls are infinite in number and Hari is Supreme in comparison to all of them.
ಚತುರಾನನ ಪೂರ್ವವಿಮುಕ್ತಗಣಾ ಹರಿಮೇತ್ಯ ತು ಪೂರ್ವವದೇವ ಸದಾ |

चतुरानन पूर्वविमुक्तगणा हरिमेत्य तु पूर्ववदेव सदा ।
नियतोच्चविनीचतयैव निजां स्थितिमापुरिति स्म परं वचनम् ॥ ८॥

The groups of souls in creation headed by Brahma will attain Hari in Mukti and will have eternal differences amongst themselves as before

इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्य विरचितं
द्वादशस्तोत्रेषु तृतीयस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम्
This stotra with 8 shlokas composed by Sri Poornaprajna (Anandateertha) when recited with devotion will secure the grace of Lord Sri Hari.
