Hari is the Supreme Being, Hari is the father and mother, Hari is the teacher and Hari alone is the final support for the souls. Therefore, do your prescribed duties always with reverence to the feet of the Lord. Accept the fruits there-of also with the same submission to His will.
The Creator is the father as he brings the souls into being as embodied beings. He is also the mother as He maintains their existence in the world. He is the Gathi or final destination for the souls after their sojourn in the world. He is the source of all knowledge as without Him, none of the Indriyas will exist (including the mind).

There is no one else in the world of living and inert matter who is more appropriate for worshiping. He is superior to the superior beings like Brahma, Rudra etc. 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.

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. Therefore, why should anyone having sense not do it?

Acharya Madhva 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.

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 (logical argument) here is that any entity which is independent will never be miserable as it will always choose happiness. As it is an 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.

Entities like Karma, Avidya, Doshas, Time, the three Gunas etc can not 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.
This is an extension of the previous Yukti that the world is controlled by Hari only and not by any of the other entities offered as alternatives by other schools. The logical statement and its implications are profound and need to be examined in depth.

The supreme teacher of all the worlds has Himself taught in reply to a question that the theory that vyavahAra bhEda (worldly difference which is unreal) 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.

The groups of souls in creation headed by Chaturmukha Brahma will attain Hari in Mukti and will have eternal differences amongst themselves as before (in Samsaara). This is well established by valid shruti texts.

This stotra with 8 shlokas composed by Sri Poornaprajna, also called Anandateertha (so called for having composed shaastras leading to Moksha) when recited with devotion will secure the grace of Lord Sri Hari.
The third stotra out of the twelve stotras composed by Sri Anandateertha hereby comes to an end.
