Sloka 10
 
Oh, Yatiraja! My behavior is indeed outrageous!
   Rash am I, ever indulging in triple transgression,
Against God, His devotees and the Acharayas gracious,
   And passing time thus, still do I, as your loving servant, feign.
 
Notes:
?Trividhapacharan?- The triple transgression comprises:
 
1.       Offence against God by way of regarding Maha Vishnu as one par with 
other minor Deities, treating lightly His incarnations as Rama and Krishna and 
looking upon them as no better than mere human beings and irreverent attitude 
towards the Lord?s iconic (Archa) manifestation, thinking in terms of the 
material of which the idol is made, thereby detracting from the awe and 
reverence due to be shown to ?Archa? as the living presence of God.
2.       Animated by conceit, greed and selfishness, throwing offence at the 
Lord?s devotees and,
3.       Being totally averse to contacts with the Lord and His devotees like 
Hiranya kasipu of yore, the sworn enemy of Lord Vishnu. 
 
In the last category would also fall transgressions known as ?Asahyapachara? 
(intolerable or unpardonable sins) committed against the Acharyas (preceptors).
 
The phrase ?Tatosmi Moorkha:? has been repeated thrice, from the 8th sloka 
onwards, to indicate the intensity of the Poet?s rashness- ?thrice impetuous?, 
the very opposite of ?thrice blessed?!
