I sing of the people of Charotar, whose hearts are radiant and pure; having offered body, mind and wealth, they took refuge in Swami Shriji.

With deep devotion in their hearts, men and women single-minded, touched by the manifest Purushottam, crossed the ocean of worldly life.

Whoever has taken refuge in Hari alone knows nothing else apart from that -- I now write a few names of such pure people.
