Meaning: Do hear (listen to – keLo) true(sat) descriptions(charita)
C1: (if one) chants(nenedare) the name of hari with utmost(dhruda) devotion(bhakti), the moksha that is thus obtained(paduva) is the witness (for ones act – i.e. for chanting the name of hari); If hari’s name is chanted without(illade) devotion, the naraka that (one goes to) is the witness for the act. Note: the word sAkshi also means attainment.
C2: The meal(oota) is the witness(saakshi) for those who donate(dAna) food(anna); loosing food (anna kalevude) is the witness for those who don’t donate(gift) food.
C3: Those who don’t cheat (vanchane) in the line(pankti)(i.e. those who break Qs or established order) will be blessed(sAkshi) with children(putra-son); those who cheat in a line will be blessed with perenneal deseases(janma roga)
C4: Those who do kanyadAna(giving away a maiden in marriage) are blessed with happiness(sukha) with women(hinnina); those who don’t do kanyAdAna will be troubled(kAta) by women.
C5: Hari is the witness for the spoken(aadida) word(mAtige)(i.e stand by your words), Water (coming) is the witness for the well(bhavi) that is dug(todida); ones mind(manave) is the witness for the word that is not spoken, purandaravithala is the witness for all witnesses
