Namo Namo Aśeṣa Dosha Dura

Another interesting conversation with my Father. As we were discussing the previous post I shared about The Concluding Benedictory verse of Gita Vivruti by Rayaru  My father mentioned about the Anubhasya written by Our Guru Madhwacharyaru. And the concluding verse of the 4th Chapter.

Father had taught me this while doing Mangalaruthi to God.

The verse is very simple and below is the same in English, and Kannada. with meaning for each word. I also looked up the Sanskrit dictionary and provided alternate meanings.

So, as explained by my Father, and my own research of each word in Sanskrit dictionary.

Namo Namo Aśeṣa Dōṣadūra Purna gunatmane

Viranchi Sharva purvedya vandyaya Śrīvaraya te

ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ಅಶೇಷ ದೋಷದೂರ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಗುಣಾತ್ಮನೇ

ವಿರಿಂಚಿ ಶರ್ವ ಪೂರ್ವೇಡ್ಯ ವಂದ್ಯಾಯ ಶ್ರೀವರಾಯ ತೇ

Namo – Salutations, worship

Aśeṣa (अशेष).—Without remainder, whole, all, entire, complete, perfect

Doṣa (दोष)  – Defect, fault

Dūra (दूर) – Removed

Dōṣadūra – faultlessness; defectlessness; perfection

Pūrṇa (पूर्ण) —  filled, full, filled with or full of

Guṇa (गुण) – Of good quality

Vara – most respected amongst all gods, also means shreshta 

or

Śrīvara (श्रीवर) — epithets of Lord Vishnu – Also, Consort or Husband of Laksmi

Te- to you

So, the full meaning:

My salutations again and again to Him, who is the Consort of Laksmi, who is defect-less,  who is complete, perfect, full of heavenly qualities, who is worshipped by Brahma, Shiva and other deities etc.

I was reciting this when I did Mangalaruthi at home and during satsangha. Now, I will make sure I recite it everyday as many times as I can.
