Word breakdown
- पापान्धकारार्कपरम्पराभ्यां
- Sun-series dispelling the darkness of sin,
- तापत्रयाहीन्द्रखगेश्वराभ्याम् ।
- Garuda-lord to the threefold afflictions,
- जाड्याब्धिसंशोषणवाडवाभ्याम्
- fire drying the ocean of dullness,
- नमो नमः श्रीगुरुपादुकाभ्याम् ॥६॥
- salutations, salutations to the blessed sandals of the Guru.
Sin's darkness, the three afflictions, and spiritual sloth are obstacles to knowing the Self; the Guru's feet act as sun, Garuda, and fire. Each image names a power of teaching that burns through ignorance until clarity remains.
