Excerpt from the book 'Prayer Guide' by Swami Dayananda Saraswati Maharajaya Namah, salutations unto that Lord who is the king of all kings, the emperor, the Maharaja. All kings depend upon him. The jivas, even if they are kings, are all dependent upon Isvara, but Isvara is one who is not dependent; he is maharaja. Raja-adhi-rajah. There are many kings, rajas. Amongst them, he is the adhi-raja. Rajanam adhikrtya raja bhavati, on whom all the rajas are centred, presiding over all the kings, he is the king; or from the standpoint of all the kings, he is the real king. Prasahya sahine. Prasahya means totally, absolutely. Sahine, to the one who is absolutely pleased with himself.
