SrI:

friends,
this is the first sloka in narayaneeyam sung by sri narayana 
battathri.  GURUKULAMNARAYANEEYAM - CLASS 1 Narayaneeyam is the 
master-piece of Shri. Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri, a devotional 
hymn based on Bhagavatham. Narayaneeyam describes the various  
incarnations of Lord Vishnu in the context of Guruvayur temple. It is 
believed that the reading or even hearing of Narayaneeyam has got 
magical healing powers and will bring "ayurarogyasoukhyam" in this 
birth. We are starting a new regular session for the devotees to 
understand and learn this great epic. Narayaneeyam is arranged in to 
100 dasakas, each containing 10 slokas. In each class, one sloka will 
be given with its meaning explained. May Lord Sree Guruvayurappan 
bless you. 
Dasaka - 1, Sloka - 1 
 Santhrananda-avabhodathmakam-anupamitham

nirbhasyamaanamAspashtam drishtamaathre  punaruru-purushaarthaatmakam 
bhrahma- thathwamThathavathbhathi sakshath-gurupavanapure hantha 
bhaghyam jananam.

Meaning :

"Oh! blessed indeed is mankind, for in the temple of Guruvayur there 
shines in all its effulgence, the Supreme Brahman itself, which is 
the ultimate goal of all human endeavor; which shines through a 
hundred scriptures and yet remains indistinct; which is ever free; 
which is devoid of the limits of time and space; which is 
incomparable; and which is the crystallised essence of Bliss and 
Knowledge "
