Pradakkshina samo nasthi prathyaksha phaldho vidhi.
Ekam Ganadhipo kuryaath , dwe sooryam threeni sankare ,
Chathwari kesave deve sapthaaswastho pradakshinam,
Padhou padanthara yasya karou chalana varjithou,
Sthuthirvachi hrudhi dhyaanam chathurangam pradakshinam,
Naiva pradakshinam kuryath anthare deva sakthayo,
Deva peedanthare chaiva kuryad ithi sasanam.

Translated by P.R.Ramachander

Nothing yields better visible results than doing Pradakshina,
Do one for lord Ganesa , two for the sun God , three for Lord Shiva,
Four for lord Vishnu and seven for the peepal tree ,
And there are four rules for the Pradakshinam and they are,
After one step, the next step should be kept below the previous step,
And there should not be any weaving of hands ,
The prayer lines should be chanted meditating on the god the heart,
You should not to Pradakshina in between the God and devotee worshipping the God,
And you should not do Pradakshina in between God and the Bali peeda.
