Bhaktamar Stotra 5 - 8
Soaham
tathapi tava bhaktivashanmunisha kartum stavam vigata shaktirapi pravrittah prityatma viryamavicharya mrugo mrugandrum nabhyetikim nijashishoh paripalanartham - (5) |
O apostle of apostles ! I do not possess the wisdom to narrate your Infinite virtues. Still , inspired by my devotion for you , I intend a compose a hymn in your praise. It is well known that to protect the fawn , even a doe puts her feet down and faces a lion, forgetting its own frailty. (Similarly , devotion is forcing me to face the great task of composing the hymn without assessing my own capacity.) |
Alpashrutam
shrutavatam parihasadhama tvadbhakti reva mukhari kurute balanmam yat kokila kila madhua madhurum virauti tacharuchuta kalikanikaraika hetuh - (6) |
O embodiment of pure wisdom ! I have so little knowledge that I am an object of ridicule for the wise. Still my devotion for you stirs me to sing hymn in your praise , as the mango sprouts impel the cuckoo during the spring time to produce its melodious coo. |
Matveti
nath ! tava samstvanam mayeda marabhyate tanudhiyapi tava prabhat cheto harishyati satam nalinidaleshu muktaphala dyutimupaiti nanudabinduh - (8) |
The malignant karmas accumulated by the living beings are instantaneously wiped out by eulogizing you. Just as the piercing sun rays dispel the all enveloping dense darkness, black as a humble bee. |
Tvatsanstavane
bhavasantati sannibaddam papam kshanat ksayamupiti sharirabhajam akranta lokamalinilamasheshumashu suryamshubhinnamiva sharvar mandhakaram - (7) |
I compose this panegyric with the belief that though composed by an ignorant like me it will certainly please noble people due to your divine influence. Indeed , when on lotus of leaves dew drops gleam like pearls presenting at pleasant site. |
