- सर्वेन्द्रियार्थबडिशाग्रझषोपमस्य । बडिशश्वझषात्मनश्च
- like a fish at the hook-tip of all sense-objects
- प्रोत्कम्पितप्रचुरतालुकमस्तकस्य प्रोत्तम्बित
- with palate and head trembling excessively, hung up
- लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
- O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand
Caught on the hook of sense-objects, the embodied being trembles like a fish on the line. The Lord as world-abode is the reality in which the net of saṃsāra is seen and transcended.
