Word breakdown
- आमीलिताक्षमधिगम्य मुदा मुकुन्दम्
- having beheld with joy the half-closed-eyed Mukunda
- आनन्दकन्दमनिमेषमनङ्गतन्त्रम् ।
- root of bliss, unwinking, the very thread of love
- आकेकरस्थितकनीनिकपक्ष्मनेत्रं
- with one eye resting on the edge of the eyelid and lashes
- भूत्यै भवन्मम भुजङ्गशयाङ्गनायाः ॥३॥
- may there be prosperity for me from the consort of the serpent-couch Lord
Half-closed eyes express absorbed love, the mind neither fully outward nor withdrawn. Bliss is the ground of being; when attention turns to the Lord within, worldly prosperity becomes a sign of inner abundance.
