अन्धस्य मे हृतविवेकमहाधनस्य चोरैर्महाबलिभिरिन्द्रियनामधेयैः मोहान्धकारकुहरे विनिपातितस्य लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम् ॥११॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- अन्धस्य मे हृतविवेकमहाधनस्य
- I am blind, robbed of the great wealth of discrimination
- चोरैर्महाबलिभिरिन्द्रियनामधेयैः
- by thieves, mighty robbers called the senses
- मोहान्धकारकुहरे विनिपातितस्य
- fallen into the cave of the darkness of delusion
- लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
- O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand
Senses steal discrimination and cast the mind into delusion's cave. Blindness here is loss of viveka; the Lord's hand restores the inner sight that sees the Self.
