'Unmanifest...' An ellipsis of 'I' is to be supplied. Unmanifest = not manifest, of an unrevealed form; imperishable = eternal; tranquil = free from affliction; utterly = exceedingly; dear to yogins = an object of love to those endowed with yoga; whose nature is all-bliss = (bliss is the nature of Brahman); omnipresent = all-pervading; to such a singular Brahman I bow. 'Various...' Praised by various—of many kinds—gods, deities or learned men, that is, worthy of reverence; eager to grant abundant, superior intelligence, skill, to people, folk; bowing, paying homage to Bhāratī, Sarasvatī; I, whose name is renowned in the world as Narapati; the victorious conduct of kings = narapati is a king, his victorious conduct is his course of victory; thus, I shall expound this svarodaya treatise named 'The Victorious Conduct of Kings'.
