योऽन्तः प्रविश्य मम वाचमिमां प्रसुप्तां सञ्जीवयत्यखिलशक्तिधरः स्वधाम्ना ।

अन्यांश्च हस्तचरणश्रवणत्वगादीन्प्रा णान् नमो भगवते पुरुषाय तुभ्यम् ॥

Yo’ntaḥ praviśya mama vācamimāṃ prasuptāṃsañjīvayatyakhilaśaktidharaḥ svadhāmnā ।Anyāṃśca hastacaraṇaśravaṇa-tvagādīnprāṇān namo bhagavate puruṣāya tubhyam ॥

Meaning

O Lord! You, who have entered within me, awaken my dormant speech.Endowed with infinite powers and radiant with your own divine light,You enliven my hands, feet, ears, skin, and all my senses with life force.O Supreme Person! I bow down to You with reverence.

Spirit of the Verse

Children, this is the verse spoken by Dhruva.Little Dhruva, while performing penance in the forest, devotedly called upon Lord Narayana.When Narayana appeared before him, Dhruva, overwhelmed with devotion, stammered —“O Narayana! I am just a small boy. I do not have the words to describe You!”

Then Lord Narayana smiled lovingly and gently touched Dhruva’s cheek with His divine hand. Instantly, Dhruva’s speech became divine — words of wisdom and praise flowed effortlessly from his mouth, glorifying the Lord’s greatness.

These were the words Dhruva spoke:“O Father! You have entered within me,awakened my dormant speech,filled my whole body with divine brilliance,and made me speak so beautifully!”

Guidance 🌸

Children! Whenever you have to speak or sing before an audience,remember this verse before stepping on stage.When you recall the Lord dwelling within you,the words will come on their own, and the song will flow effortlessly.

Practice and memorize this verse daily —it will fill your speech with divine power and confidence.
