Chant
इति प्रेमभारेण किञ्चिन्मयोक्तं न बुध्वैव तत्त्वं मदीयं त्वदीयं । विनोदाय बालस्य मौर्ख्यं हि मात स्तदेतत्प्रलापस्तुतिं मे गृहाण ॥२८॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- इति प्रेमभारेण किञ्चिन्मयोक्तं
- Thus with the weight of love I have spoken something,
- न बुध्वैव तत्त्वं मदीयं त्वदीयं ।
- not understanding the reality of mine and yours;
- विनोदाय बालस्य मौर्ख्यं हि मात
- for sport a child's folly indeed, O Mother -
- स्तदेतत्प्रलापस्तुतिं मे गृहाण
- accept this prattle-st praise of mine.
The closing humility admits that 'mine' and 'yours' were never finally understood. The Mother's indulgence of childish praise mirrors Brahman receiving the devotee's words without requiring perfect knowledge.
