śrī dāsabodha adhyāya 1

Dasbodh Dashak 1. The Dasbodh of Samartha Ramdas, spoken in the caves at Shivthar Ghal and set down by his disciple Kalyan Swami. Cast as a dialogue between guru and disciple across twenty dashaks, each of ten samasas, it moves from the discipline of listening through discrimination between the real and the unreal to the nature of the Self — practical throughout, and addressed to people living in the world. This dashak is named in its colophon for नरदेहस्तवननिरूपण.
