अन्याश्रयाणाम् :
supports; : tyagaha: renunciation, giving up;
अनन्यता : ananyata unification, single-heartedness.
Anyaasrayaanam: of all other

those employed in the cultivation of devotion, namely
listening to talks about the Lord, singing His name,
etc.
The devotee knows no one else than his Beloved
Lord. The Lord is all in all for him. The Lord is the
sole refuge for him. He lives for the Lord and Lord
alone. He works for Him alone.
The Lord is his own support, his only strength,
his only hope and his only object of faith. Just as the
eyes of the chatak bird are fixed on the cloud, so also
his eyes are fixed on his Beloved Lord alone.
The devotee does not conceive the existence of
any object other than his Beloved Lord. How then
