Hindi Translation By Swami Ramsukhdas

।।9.14।। नित्य- (मेरेमें) युक्त मनुष्य दृढ़व्रती होकर लगनपूर्वक साधनमें लगे हुए और भक्तिपूर्वक कीर्तन करते हुए तथा नमस्कार करते हुये निरन्तर मेरी उपासना करते हैं।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

9.14 Aspiring for eternal communion with Me, they worship Me, always singing My praises, striving with steadfast resolution and bowing down to Me in devotion.

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

9.14 Because of My being very dear to them, they are unable to find support for their souls even for a moment without 'singing My praises,' 'striving for My sake and bowing to Me in reverence.' Remembering My names connotative of My special attributes, they cry out My names - Narayana, Krsna, Vasudeva etc., with horripilations in every part of their bodies and with their voices tremulous and indistinct because of joy. They engage in activities for my sake, such as performing worship, and doing actions helpful to worship, lik building temples and cultivating temple gardens. They prostrate themselves on the earth like a stick, indifferent to dust, mud and the gravel, with all the eight members of their beings - the Manas, Buddhi, Ahankara, the two feet, two hands, and the head, which are bowed down under the influence of Bhakti. Aspiring for eternal communion with Me, desiring eternal union with Me, they worship Me, resolved to attain the state of servitude to Me for their entire being.

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda

9.14 Always glorifying Me and striving, the men of firm vows worship Me by paying obeisance to Me and being ever endowed with devotion.
