Word breakdown
- अजं रुक्मिणीप्राणसञ्जीवनं तं परं धाम कैवल्यमेकं तुरीयम् ।
- Unborn, life-restorer of Rukmini's breath, that supreme abode, the one liberation, the fourth state.
- प्रसन्नं प्रपन्नार्तिहं देवदेवं परब्रह्मलिङ्गं भजे पाण्डुरङ्गम् ॥८॥
- Gracious, remover of the suffering of those who take refuge, God of gods: I worship Panduranga, the emblem of supreme Brahman.
The unborn Lord as turiya, the fourth, is the state beyond waking, dream, and sleep. Panduranga who ends the refugee's sorrow is the Self known when devotion dissolves the last veil between seeker and sought.
