What the aarti says, in simple English.
Summary – ‘Digambara, Digambara, Shripad Shrivallabh Digambara – may this aarti stay at your feet; we bow to you, best of gurus.’ The aarti explains the name Digambara (‘clothed only in the directions’): the sky itself is his garment, and the Veda says ‘the sky is Brahman’, so the sky-clad Guru is the all-pervading, complete Brahman – beyond maya, a mass of existence, consciousness and bliss. The name Shripad Vallabh saved devotees as the Lord saved Gajendra from the crocodile and protected Draupadi and Ambarisha. It closes: ‘O Digambara, Guru Vasudeva, Datta – you are Brahman; I am seized by desire and anger – take hold of me and carry me across quickly.’
