This devotional hymn pays homage to Lord Sai Baba, recognizing his three divine manifestations across time: Shirdi Sai Baba of the past, Sathya Sai Baba of the present who bestows truth and grace, and Prema Sai Baba of the future. The lines express absolute surrender and reverence, as devotees bow repeatedly at his holy feet.
