Swayamprakasha Yogindra Charitam Vol III Book X Chp 12 Shlokas 19 - 25

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

एवं संप्रार्थितो ज्ञानी श्रीमद्भागवतप्रियः |

दधौ काषायवस्त्रञ्च दण्डं नियमपूर्वकम् ||

प्रसन्नवदनं शान्तं काषायम्बरधारिणम् |

ऊर्ध्वपुण्ड्रधरं धीरं जितकामं जितेन्द्रियम् ||

वृत्तिं माधुकरीं नित्यं कुर्वन्तं दण्डधारिणम् |

श्रीमद्भागवतग्रन्थसप्ताहमखकारिणम् ||

तं यतीन्द्रमुपाश्रित्य बहवो भाग्यशालिनः |

बभूवुः कृष्णभक्ताक्ष्च कलौ दोषविवर्जिताः ||

एवं परिव्रजंलोके श्रीमद्भागवततत्परः |

स्वयंप्रकाशयोगीन्द्रः श्रीनृसिह्मपदं गतः ||

स्वयंप्रकाशशृतं यः पठेच्छ्रद्धया नरः |

श्रीमद्भागवते शास्त्रे परां प्रीतिमवाप्नुयात् ||

Shri Sadguru continued

As he was so much interested in teaching Shrimad Bhagavatam, the gnaw paid heed to this request and took up wearing systematically saffron and bearing a staff. Many fortunate ones become Krishna bhaktas and got rid of the evils of Kali taking refuge in that yatishwara, who had a pleasing countenance, calm and serene personality, clad in saffrona and had sandal tilak, who had controlled the senses, who earned his daily food by alms and who spent all his time teaching Shrimad Bhagavatam. Thus he lived on this earth having Shrimad Bhagavatam as his only hold. He embellished and spread Bhakti to Shri Narasimha who has showered His mercy on Prahlada. Swayamprakasha who had the devotion to Shri Narasimha on the very day of the appearance of that incarnation. He who reads the life story of Swayamprakasha with regard will develop deep interest in Bhagavata Shastri.

Thus ends Chapter Twelve entitled 'Swayamprakasha Yogindra Charitam' of Book X of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal.
